NHL will be dark, so I'll watch just to see hockey

Why stop the season and draw momentum away teams hunting for Playoff seeding? Not watching.

My favorite NHL isn't allowed to play since he doesn't come from the 4 Nations playing. Absolutely not watching, and F the NHL.

Anyone know what is in the little black box awarded to the games first place star?

If the boos were for the quality of the performance I might understand but Boston is also full of jagoffs so I must condemn the small number of those jagoffs.

Wonder who is going to trade for Brady because there’s no way he stays in Ottawa long term.

If the US wins tonight and Ottawa misses the playoffs later this spring then I wouldn't be surprised if he asks for a trade out of there. My guess is Florida or the NY Rangers would go all in to get him. Maybe Philly, although he may not want to go there.

I don’t see why Brady wouldn’t want to go to Philly, seems like a great fit as far as how he likes to play and what the fans would want. plus Philly has about 100 draft picks the next three years, they have the capital to make a move for him.

Whoa, shorthanded 2-on-1 with Sid on the ice, is this a Pens game after all?

Not questioning anyone’s integrity but in tournaments like this I’d like to see a crew from each country so you have impartial refs. Would be interesting to have Swedish or Finnish refs for this game.

Anyone getting a lot of buffering or poor quality feed? Everything else on my fiber connection is working fine, but my feed via Hulu keeps dropping to lower quality or pausing to buffer.

I’ve got to admit, I didn’t plan to watch the series.

But it’s been a helluva ride. I am enjoying this immensely.

Hellybuck was really deep and also crouched on that goal, he couldn’t have made himself smaller and given up more net unless he just turtled like Claude Lemieux.

He definitely gave him a lot to aim for up top there.Didn't play it well at all.Still a nice shot by Bennett.

McDavid continues to disappoint in this one. He's bringing Sid down.

I don’t know how anyone can’t pick Sid to win this in OT now.

Who will be the next Paul Henderson? Nobody. Ever. That has to be the most idiotic comment an announcer has ever made. Paul Henderson scored game winners in 3 straight games in 72 to win the Summit Series vs Cold War Soviet Union. ESpN should be ashamed of themselves. What an embarrassment.

He just hasn’t looked good all game though.

That’s a penalty for 7 guys in the ice and if not it’s not icing.
