The party's over

Hawks lost to the Redwings 1-2 in OT. As many experts said they would, they lost it in 5.

I could argue that they lost Khabibulin and Havlat at the worst possible time, but more than that, I think, is the fact that they're still missing pieces. Things that I can't put my finger on haven't gelled yet. Maybe next year.

It was a hell of a run. No one expected it, except maybe for them.

I'm a Sid the Kid fan, which doesn't necessarily translate to being a Pens fan. I will be able to watch the hockey without yelling at the set and scaring the dogs, methinks.

Also, have to say that I'm not thrilled by sudden-death OT in playoffs.

You and me both. Regular season, OK...maybe. But not in the playoffs.

Yeah. I remember when you contrasted the response of Boston fans with the Washington, that long standing ovation. I think "sudden death" accounts for most of the difference. Sudden death in Game Seven . . .
