They won 3 of the last 6 cups...
You'd think they can find that "playoff switch"...
However, the Blues are really playing well as of late.
Sure but never consecutively, they are tired this year. But on the flip side they are getting everyone back healthy and keith will be nice and healthy from his "break" (still think that wild player should of gotten a game or two himself but *shrug*)
It sucks because I come off of night shift Thursday morning so staying up to watch Game 1 will be tough (especially when I inevitably start drinking beer!).

How? He was outside the crease until the puck went into it, and only made significant contact with Elliot because Shattenkirk pushed him from behind.
It boiled down to whether Shattenkirk's contact with Shaw and the timing of the puck crossing the goal line. Personally, to me at least, it looked like Elliott was prevented from doing his job before the puck crossed the goal line, but honestly it was a call that *could* go either way.
However, I am mystified by folks complaining about overturning Taransenko's goal... this was one of the best shot that shows Lehtera going offsides:
The Blues simply need to put this game behind them and focus on the next.

If Shattenkirk's contact with Shaw prevented Elliot from playing his position, then there is no interference.

Detroit and Tampa is rough as well. Officiating last night was atrocious. Such as when Datsyuk got nailed, had a tooth knocked out, and then he got the penalty.
Anyways, it seems Abdelkader injected lead into his fists before the game last night.

The simplest way to fix this offsides nonsense is to put a couple cameras on each blue line and change the rule to say that the skate just has to stay on or behind the blue line to be onside and the skate does not need to be ON the ice to count. Honestly the current rules for it are stupid, way to easy to make mistakes.
C... A... P... S... Caps! Caps! Caps! That squeezably soft goal has got to be messing with Mason's head. I see a goalie change coming in the city of brotherly love.
Caps looking like the pre-blizzard team. And the Holtbeast is rocking once again. Best Sv% and GAA in the playoffs for any goalie with >25 starts. The beast is back!
Go Caps!

If an attacking player has been pushed, shoved, or fouled by a defending player so as to cause him to come into contact with the goalkeeper, such contact will not be deemed contact initiated by the attacking player for purposes of this rule, provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such contact.

Yeah, I see that now. I stand corrected.
I really didn't *see* him pushed. I've since seen the "autopsy" of that play and the ref made the right call.
