the reports im reading suggest he never was in cardiac arrest and rushed to the hospital in an ambulance.
sucks for Avery and the Rangers, but they're finished anyways.

It's extremely disappointing to see the Rangers promising run seemingly come to such an abrupt end. The loss in Game 1 was obviously hard to take considering the Rangers had built a 3-0 lead in the game, but i have to say last nights came was the most heartbreaking. Even though they were down 2 games in the series, i still was confident the Rangers would be able to battle back on home ice much like they did in round 2 last year against the Buffalo Sabres. They threw everything they could at the Pens last night, but it just wasn't enough. That Ryan Hollweg penalty late in the 2nd period, which Malkin then scored on the PP to make it 4-3, that was the dagger. The Rangers had all the momentum until that point & had the Penguins on their heels.
Hopefully the Rangers can at least win tomorrow night to avoid the sweep (not to mention pad my hockey pool stats)...i'd love if they could extend the series to 5 or 6 games, but even a very optimistic fan like myself, i still don't see scenerio which involves the Rangers beating the Pens in 4 staight games.
I do have to give props to Jaromir Jagr last night though, that was one of the best games i've ever seen him play. If it wasn't for Martin Straka being seriously snake bitten last night, Jagr should of had a lot more than 2 points.
Oh well, at least my option B is looking pretty good right now, the Dallas Stars :thumb:

Halak is getting the start tonight, we have to win tonight, this is too much! I really hope this doesnt blow up in our faces, Halak is a good goalie but he's barely played the last two months. Im nervous as hell........

Well it was a good run to the playoffs, I think this is it for Montreal. Its been said anything can happen in the playoffs and its so true (for all sports really) Montreal owned Boston and Philly all season but struggled in the playoffs. Biron is hot he's been the difference but we've had lots of chances but you have to raise your game in the postseason and bury your chances we havent done that, too many mistakes and the power play has gone south, a bad combo for any team. But its a young team and maybe the pressure is getting to them, Price had some real brilliant moments, he has a bright future next year he'll take this team and carry them far Im sure and hopefully the young players will learn from this and take it with them. I expect some changes for next season, I hope Gainey doesnt decide to rest on his laurels, this team needs a consistent scoring threat from the wing or centre, the Koivu era has to be coming to a close soon, maybe its time for a new leader?
Maybe Im writing them off a little early but I just dont see a way back even if we win in game 6..please prove me wrong!
and Carbs for the Jack Adams!
GO HABS GO!

Looks like Montreal won't come back, but let's face it: this is not about burying your chances, as if you can somehow overpower the goaltender by sheer force of will. Montreal has outplayed the Flyers in the series, but Biron has been amazing.
And tonight the Flyers got a big help from the ref, with that ridiculous "interference" call.
As for the Koivu era ending, if it wasn't for Saku, the Bruins would have finished off the Habs.
