Freddy Andersen makes big saves as the Ducks get back in the green by holding off a late Chicago push fueled by an SB-movie-trenchish crowd in one of hockey's largest arenas:

They score three goals in 37 seconds in the third period but it isn't enough.

I think Anaheim's core focus for the rest of the way should be winning games in regulation, for they've never lost a regulation game all playoffs; all their losses have been in sudden death overtime. This is made even more important by the fact that through their six seasons of frequent playoff domination, Chicago has felt extremely comfortable using a war of attrition strategy to play and win lengthy overtime games.

Are you the only one that does this stuff for these teams because if you teach me I could always help ya for the losses whenever you go on a 10 hour rant on them. ;)

Sometimes there are a couple other people who help, but I'm pretty much the only one. I wouldn't want to teach you how to do losses for my teams, though, because I wouldn't want to gain the reputation of someone who only makes the edits when my teams win. :P

But if you want me to teach you so you can try your hand at some of your own teams, I'd be glad. :D Once you get the hang of it, game log inputting is actually easier than it looks. :thumbsup:

OK teach me Mr. Nerd.
 
1. Go here.

2. Open this page in a separate tab.

3. Click month 05, day 23, and then find your game. (I didn't give you the direct link to the boxscore because I wanted to teach you how to get to it. Also, bookmark the original page I linked you to that has the months so that you can get the boxscores easily in the future.)

4. Click "edit" above the game log.

5. Make sure you change where it says "Overall Record."

6. Then scroll down to the beginning of May and make sure you change the record there, too.

7. Then scroll down to May 23. Make sure you have the right game.

8. Where it says background above the game details, put #bbffbb. This is the color code that will give the green for a win. The color code that gives red for a loss is #ffbbbb.

9. These two lines: || denote separate columns. Put the score in the column after the team name, e.g., May 23 || Nationals || 8-1

10. Then make sure you put in the winning and losing pitchers, and their respective records in parentheses. To link the pitchers to their respective Wikipedia articles, put their names in brackets, put a pipe (|) and then repeat the pitcher's last name. For example, Clay Buchholz would be linked as [[Clay Buchholz|Buchholz]], followed by the record.

11. Make sure there isn't a save, which there probably wasn't. Leave the column after the winning and losing pitchers BLANK if there wasn't a save.

12. Put the attendance in the next column, the record in the final, and hit submit!

Good luck!

Alright I guess, although I find how interesting the first game was the Angels Boston one... :bullshrimp:
EDIT: Wait where do I click from here

Aw, it looks like somebody else got to it before you. I'm sorry, that's because I didn't give you all the information you needed. Well, maybe you can get the next one. :) Anyway, lots of those links would work but the one I usually use is "boxscore_col."
 
A thrilling victory leaves Anaheim 60 minutes away from the Finals! :D The Blackhawks made the situation tense with two clutch goals, but the Ducks scored a very early OT winner to send the Hawks home up against an electric fence. I had very conflicting thoughts this morning about heading down Interstate 5 for this game to see if maybe there were any standing room tickets left or if I could get an extra ticket, which those nice Orange County people are usually very willing to give if they have one. But I forewent going to the game in favor of a longtime family Memorial Day tradition. If the Ducks had lost this game, and then lost Game 6, I would've missed out on my last chance to head down for a playoff game. But now they are guaranteed to play at least one more game at the Pond again, whether it be a Game 7 of this series or games in the Final. :D If there is a Game 7 on Saturday, I will DEFINITELY head down that way.

Chicago didn't make this one easy, with Jonathan Toews being his persnickety cockroach self and scoring two goals in 72 seconds late to erase what seemed a certain Ducks victory and to send me into a fit of unprintable words.

But fortunately, the Ducks responded quickly and aggressively in overtime, and put an end to these marathon games by netting a winner in just 45 seconds:
