So we can just about guess that Spezza goes to either Anaheim or St Louis?

First -- I would like to congratulate Teemu Selanne on a great career.  One of the few true gentlemen in the NHL.  Kudos to the LA Kings who stayed on the ice after the game to show their appreciation for Teemu..

Second... F the Habs.  Rangers up 2-0 in the first period...

Scored with 6 skaters on the ice. None of the 4 officials saw it.. Competent job refs.

Refs must be Canadians, and how can you not cheer for the Canadiens.

Because it's so easy not to.

Down 7-1 in the 3rd. Price out of net -- did he get some kind of injury on that collision?

I fully expect Montreal to bounce back next game.. but still won't make me cheer for them..

Oooh, boy. Ever since Melnyk tweeted that as Canadians how can we not root for the Habs, they've been in a tailspin.

Price will bounce back, but home ice is gone. Rags went 7 games back-to-back; they were exhausted against the Pens and are likely to cool off as the series continues (they may well have scored too many goals in one game, if you know what I mean).

I'd read that Galchenyuk is cleared for contact. That'll help, but who comes out?

7 minors plus a misconduct called against the Habs; 1 minor to the Rags. There goes that stereoptype, anyway.

I think the Rangers showed the Habs a little less respect than Vigneault was promising

Did Price get an injury in that collision? If Brassard can't play next game that's bad for the Rangers.

I totally enjoyed that game today.. but I believe we see a different Montreal team next game. Coming off the high of beating Boston.. we probably should have seen this. But the Rangers can skate with Montreal.. so it should be a good series..

Not NHL playoffs.. but Memorial Cup.

Curtis Lazar vs Ben Harpur -- on now.. Sportsnet. Go Oil Kings..

Wow. That was a beat down.

f the habs.

Didn't realize it was on SNet. I've been following it on twitter.

5-2 now, doesn't look good. Lazar had a great pass for a brief 2-1 lead.

5-2 is the final. Ben Harpur over Curtis Lazar.
