It seems like every hockey blog has got some Pesach content this year, so why not PuckThis!?
This post chronicles the email thread Tim and I had on Saturday. While I obssessed over my PDA in the corner of the kids' table as the Seder went on, Tim diligently emailed in his assessment of game six. As becomes apparent, following the Pesach dinner, the Jews migrated to the den to watch a miracle performance turn into a plague from a vengeful god.
Meanwhile, the over-rated Habs Inside Out blog reports that Carbonneau has come to his senses and benched Matthieu Dandenault decided to wear his lucky tie. Now all he has to do is decide to order his team to actually forecheck (two men in deep, none of this 1-4 junk) and defend their blue line and he'll be 2-0 in the decision department.

So who do you think gets benched? O'Byrne, probably, but maybe Gorges. Up front, Dandenault finally? I don't think they bench SK, he might score, Could be Ryder again, which would be a fucking shame. Also, do you think Kovalev will be extra determined and thus a) play well and effectively or b) hog the puck until he gives up a scoring opportunity (ies). Finally, if an unfit Koivu can't play more than say, 15 min, who picks up the extra slack? Plek? Lapierre? I see them using Smolinski on the PP, so...

Dandy and O’Byrne should sit.If Koivu is weak, I would lean to Smoke but it depends on the rhythm of the game. I fear Ryder is done for the playoffs. Koivu's presence should ease the pressure on Kovalev if Chara has to cover both of them. I think Markov is injured.

Streit creates shorthanded breakaway. Streit slow, but apparently more useful than Ryder.

Ok 1st period. 1-0 Mtl.
21-11-74 doing OK, but passes being picked off and creating Boston chances. If they stay focused, they'll be OK. Joyeux Pacques, btw.

Versus people are insisting that it was not offside, and that the linesmen are amazing because "to the naked eye, that might be offside" Seriously, they said that

I think I am gonna post this thread to PT. It's pretty amusing when you red it all in one shot. Let me know if that's cool. Only one reference to butt plugs, and it's by me.
