[icehog3]

Hope James is having fun watching the pre-game skate...Go Wings! :tu

[ahc4353]

Jr and I went out and got a S video cable. With a little work we can now watch the Red Wing game on the TV fed from the laptop.

Website used is www.channelsurfing.net

Jr has been a Red Wing fan his entire life so setting this up brought a big smile to his face.

That makes me happy.

[SmokeyJoe]

Getting psyched for our Hurricane's Party at a friend's house tonight... 16 of us 'Canes Fans will be getting together to watch game 5. Would love to be in Boston for this one. :ss

LET'S GO 'CANES!!!

[icehog3]

Let's Go Wings and 'Canes! :D

Sorry Paul. :)

[jonharky]

2-1 Go wings!!

[jonharky]

Red wings win!! 4-1 They lead the series 3-2. I am celebrating with a Don Tomas Cameroon Collection and some Dos Equis Amber

[icehog3]

Congrats to the Wings fans! :tu

Bruins came to play tonight....don't think they can do this well 3 games in a row though. We shall see. ;)

[Bruins Fan]

That's the kind of hockey the Bruins need to play.
The Canes better wear their big boy pants Tuesday the cheap shots , and sucker punch wont be forgotten.

It would be a lot smarter for the Bruins to play another game like they played tonight, and not look for payback/retaliation. Good way to be golfing Wednesday. ;)

[357]

Where's all those Ducks, wait I mean Sharks fans who root for the Ducks???


:bx

[Paint]

Wings ruled today!!!!!

[jamesb3]

Just back home from the game. Wow was it electric at the Joe. If the Wings keep it up we could end this in Anaheim!

GO WINGS!!

[Bruins Fan]

Walker, should get suspended for the sucker punch,
not that it will matter if he plays or not.

GO WINGS!!

I agree, that game was dominated by the Wings. The last 7 minutes of the 2nd and maybe the first 2-3 minutes of 3rd the Ducks actually made a little push, but otherwise it was all Wings!

If the Wings score first in game 6, I think it's all done.

[SmokeyJoe]

Walker, should get suspended for the sucker punch,
not that it will matter if he plays or not.

Go ahead and crow... Bruins spanked us tonight - no excuses. I figured the Bruins had a decent game coming before it was all over.

I still feel good about our chances to get one of the next two.

:ss

[loki]

Walker, should get suspended for the sucker punch,

if he's not a star player i'm sure they will. or at least fine him

[icehog3]

Walker, should get suspended for the sucker punch,
not that it will matter if he plays or not.

Some might say Ward should get suspended for some of his infamous forearm shivers... ;)

[Bruins Fan]

It's being reported that Ward has a broken orbital bone in his face, that sucker punch put him out of the playoffs.
The Bruins were down two defensemen already.

[icehog3]

I always think it's a shame when a player gets injured and has to miss the playoffs, regardless of what I think of the player. Sorry for Ward. Maybe he will think about that sucker punch next time he thinks of throwing one of his forearm shivers. though.

[icehog3]

My guess is that Walker will miss the rest of this series, at the very least, for the punch.

[SmokeyJoe]

I always think it's a shame when a player gets injured and has to miss the playoffs, regardless of what I think of the player. Sorry for Ward. Maybe he will think about that sucker punch next time he thinks of throwing one of his forearm shivers, though.

Agreed on both points.

My guess is that Walker will miss the rest of this series, at the very least, for the punch.

Yeah... I'm afraid Walker will be out. I'm not happy that A. Ward's orbital bone is broken, but I wouldn't call looking a man square in the eye and taking a full wind up a "sucker punch." Walker doesn't have the reputation of being a dirty player. Ward has been asking for a confrontation - I'm just sorry both he and Walker will likely be gone for the rest of the playoffs.

As both of these men will understand, actions have consequences.

[Bruins Fan]

How about the the slash by Jokinen? I bet that will also get reviewed.
I think the momentum might have shifted, we will see Tuesday?

[icehog3]

Sometimes as a die-hard fan, we see the things the other team does to our guys, but gloss over what our guys do to them. There has been plenty of "back and forth" in the Bruins/'Canes series, if one looks at it objectively.

[Ahbroody]

I generally agree with Ice here, that said....

Sorry joe but that was extremely bush, and a SUCKER PUNCH.
Evidence is very clear in this video please pay attention starting at 50 seconds.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLnEDFaDEdA
Ward and Cullen are in a gloves on discussion/ shoving contest, likely about where they will be going to dinner tonight. Walker is the second man in on a NON fight and he comes in swinging. First with the glove on. As Ward turns to start jawing Walker has already dropped the gloves and is throwing a bomb. It is pretty clear Ward and Cullen had no intention of dropping the gloves. Walker who has a pretty extensive fight card took the opportunity to try to send a message cause his team was getting blown out. Within 3 SECONDS Walker as the second man in has hit Ward first with his glove then turns Ward and throws a ungloved fist to the face.

that said game 6 is going to be intense now. Maybe the Bs will use this for motivation. If the take game 6 then you know what they say about a game 7. I will definetly be watching game 6

[SmokeyJoe]

... but that was extremely bush, and a SUCKER PUNCH...
that said game 6 is going to be intense now. ...

Not Walker's finest moment, and I see your point... I will just have to let the league sort it out. As I said, I am not happy about Ward getting hurt.

Game six will indeed be one to be remembered.

[taltos]

Not here to crow about the win Joe, should be a good game six. Tonight gave me hope for a game seven. Walker should sit at least one game. Still trying to figure out why Ward was given a fighting major when all he did was get the crap kicked out of him.

[jamesb3]

Sounds like I missed a tough game from the Bruins last night on the ride home. Doesn't suprise me that things got a little nasty. This is the playoffs after all.

Look to see the Ducks do the same on Teusday night. Wings called up Darren MaCarty so we might see him out there to police the action. Hoping the WIngs can stand up to the early barrage I'm sure they will face from the Ducks. First goal in this game could be very important. We will see.

GO WINGS!!

[icehog3]

I would be shocked if they let Walker play again in this series, so my guess is the NHL will give him at least 2 games, in case the Bs take it to a Game 7.

[taltos]

I would be shocked if they let Walker play again in this series, so my guess is the NHL will give him at least 2 games, in case the Bs take it to a Game 7.Don't suspend him, put him at center ice with either Chara or Lucic, no team mates and no officials. Set the timer at 5 minutes and let them settle it right there.:D

[icehog3]

Yea but who's Chara's Master? Kessel? Theo Fleury? Possibilities are endless!

[SmokeyJoe]

Just heard reported that there was a fine but NO suspension for Scott Walker.

The National Hockey League today announced that Hurricanes forward Scott Walker has been fined $2,500 for an incident that occurred at the 17:13 mark of the third period of Game 5 against the Boston Bruins. There will be no additional punishment assessed.

Bring on game six... let's play hockey, boys. :ss

[icehog3]

I have another Game 6 to think about tonight, Joe! ;) :r

[loki]

going to a herf at a buddies place for the game tonight

[MedicCook]

I am surprised he did not get a suspension for that punch.

[romwarrior]

I have another Game 6 to think about tonight, Joe! ;) :r

I believe tonight will be the end of my playoff pool. The Canucks were three minutes from a stranglehold 3-1 lead in game four but then it all went away in a big, quick POOF!! It was a fun dream while it lasted. :al

I expect the Canucks to lay it all out tonight, so I don't see an easy game for the Blackhawks by any stretch, Brett.

Really? Who!? :r :r :r

Caps - Pens?

;) :r

[icehog3]

From the Associated Press:

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Carolina Hurricanes forward Scott Walker will not be suspended but was fined $2,500 by the NHL on Monday for throwing a punch that may have broken a bone in Boston Bruins defenseman Aaron Ward's face.

Hurricanes general manager Jim Rutherford told The Associated Press that the automatic suspension given to Walker was rescinded during a hearing with league disciplinarian Colin Campbell. It was ruled the hit was not a "sucker punch."

"Based on what was said on the ice as I was dropping my gloves, it was my understanding that I was engaged in an altercation," Walker said in a statement issued by the team.

Tempers flared in the final minutes of Boston's 4-0 victory Sunday in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals when Ward and Carolina's Matt Cullen began shoving in front of the Bruins' net. Walker skated in and hit Ward with a right cross that knocked the defenseman to the ice and was given a misconduct, a fighting major and an instigator penalty with 2:47 remaining.

Boston coach Claude Julien said after the game that team doctors feared Ward had a broken orbital bone. He was being re-evaluated Monday.

"In reviewing what I saw, I just didn't like what happened. ... I just don't think there was any need for that," Julien said after practice in Wilmington, Mass. "He sucker-punched him once coming into the scrum when [Ward] was involved with another player. And then he dropped his gloves and sucker-punched him.

"I don't care what people say about, 'Ward should've protected himself.' He had no intention of getting involved," he added. "We asked our guys to stay composed and not fall into that trap, and he just did that. A guy with Walker's experience should know better than to sucker-punch a guy."

Things were chippy throughout a physical game in which the teams combined for 29 penalties and 83 penalty minutes. That's not counting Jussi Jokinen's second-period slash to Zdeno Chara's lower body that briefly sent the Boston captain to the locker room. Jokinen was not penalized.

Rutherford said the incident was "clearly brought on by them," saying he felt the Hurricanes had taken shots from Boston players throughout the series, which Carolina leads 3-2. He isn't worried about the possibility of the Bruins retaliating against Walker during Game 6 Tuesday night.

"If that's the way the game's going to be played, that's the way we'll play the game," he said.

[SmokeyJoe]

...Caps - Pens?
;) :r

You would think it was the ONLY series based on some of the coverage. :rolleyes:

Go HAWKS!!!

[jamesb3]

Sid the Snivler and the Pens have an early lead...

[jamesb3]

You would think it was the ONLY series based on some of the coverage. :rolleyes:

Go HAWKS!!!

That's because the NHL wants The Pens and Crosby to get a Cup in the worst way. That way they can market there Golden Boy even more.

Funny how there is not a lot of love for Sid the Snivler in here.:D

[SmokeyJoe]

Funny how there is not a lot of love for Sid the Snivler in here.:D

I'm not drinking the hater-ade. He is not my favorite player, but I enjoy watching him. He has great skills and is a difference maker. Wouldn't mind having him on the 'Canes.

Would love having him and Eric Staal together! :D (Would never happen.)

[jamesb3]

4-3 Caps with just over 5 to go!:tu

[jonharky]

That's because the NHL wants The Pens and Crosby to get a Cup in the worst way. That way they can market there Golden Boy even more.

They aren't good enough to beat the Wings though IMHO

[jamesb3]

4-4, going to OT. Great game.

[Mikey202]

4-4, going to OT. Great game.

Yes, sir. Let'sgo Pens!!!!

[jamesb3]

Are you watching James?

Yes!

[MedicCook]

Lots of action the last few minutes.

[jamesb3]

Yeah, it's a really great game.

[jamesb3]

3-3

[MedicCook]

Tie game now. Some big hits out there.

[jamesb3]

What a hit before the goal. Ouch.

[MedicCook]

The Hawks have defiantely lost the momentum.

[jamesb3]

3-3 going into the 3rd period. Looks like it could be a thriller of a finish.

[MedicCook]

I love that Honda commercial with the hockey goal garage.

[ahc4353]

My son made a similar comment while we were watching the Pens / Flyer series. Thought it was an interesting comment at the time. Seems he's not alone in his thinking. :hm

NHL deserves a poster boy who has some class. Crosboy has none, zero, zilch.

[MedicCook]

Hawks are now down 4-3. They have done a great job screening tonight.

[MedicCook]

Great Goal!!

Tied at 4.

[jamesb3]

Bad penalty. 'Nucks on the PP.

[MedicCook]

And they score.

[MedicCook]

And just like that the Hawks tie the game again.

[loki]

well that was a hell of a game, too bad the pens didn't end the series today but we can hope for wednesday.

[MedicCook]

Hawks PP coming up.

[MedicCook]

The Hawks with their 3rd PP goal make it 6-5.

[jamesb3]

This game is just crazy! 6-5 Chicago.

[jamesb3]

well that was a hell of a game, too bad the pens didn't end the series today but we can hope for wednesday.

Hope is a dangerous thing.:r

All I can say is wow.

All I can say is wow.

:tpd: Absolutely amazing... :ss

[gpugliese]

I'm a Rangers fan, but I'm really hoping for a Blackhawks/Bruins Stanley Cup Final. I wouldn't mind Washington or to a lesser extent Detroit getting in, but at this point I'm sick of Pittsburgh and Anaheim.

Also, earlier in the playoffs, a Vancouver newspaper asked fans to send in their best parade routes (link may or may not work) (http://communities.canada.com/theprovince/blogs/whitetowel/archive/2009/04/22/send-us-your-stanley-cup-parade-route.aspx) using Google Maps.

A Rangers fan came up with this, LOL:

So much for those routes...

Thanks Guys! First trip to the Conference Finals in 14 years, been a long time coming.

Hawks will definitely be the underdogs to the Wings (they are gonna finish Anaheim tomorrow), but hey, they play the games for a reason. I just have to hope the Ozzie is average, because I know the Wings are gonna score some goals.

LET'S GO HAWKS!!

Congrats Tom.
This years playoffs make me realize just how screwed the Sharks are and we as fans.

The Blackhawks are a good young team and will likely have multiple runs at the cups in the next few years. Very exciting game. To see Luongo raped in such a manner repeatedly was very suprising.

[taltos]

neither does ovi....No disrespect Al, you know I love your family but thinking that the league is some how making the series go this way or that so that this guy will win a ring is really not rational thinking.They are certainly engaging in selective punishment when it comes to suspensions in the post season.

[kugie]

Tonight B's Canes Can't wait

Lets go BRUINS. Game 7 at home.

[loki]

great to see the hawks advancing

[ahc4353]

None taken. And I agree with you. Just found it interesting that thought come up twice.

neither does ovi....No disrespect Al, you know I love your family but thinking that the league is some how making the series go this way or that so that this guy will win a ring is really not rational thinking.

[loki]

after this series I will no longer accept "ovi is the best player" comments. He's a cheap shot artist, he's out to hurt people, he's a cherry picker, and he's a no class dirty player. He is a tremendous goal scorer, he is not a two way player. Give me Sid, give me Malkin, give me Stall, give me the caps goalie whose name I will not even try and spell, give me havlat. you can keep ovi

[ahc4353]

OK I'll keep Ovi and Stall you keep the rest.

We must not be watching the same guy. Cherry picker I'll give but the other, not so sure.

[Sawyer]

And most people would say you can keep Cindy. He is a diver, a whiner and a cry baby who doesn't deserve to wear the C. I know I wouldn't want that crap on my team. Also, I still haven't seen this angle that shows definitively that Ovechkin was out to hurt Gonchar. It just seems like an unfortunate injury to me. You say that Ovechkin is not a two way player but his +/- is 11 and he has 20 points for the playoffs. You may not like the guy because he is playing against your team, but the kid is good.

I don't care who he's playing against, every hit he has could be called a charge and this goes way past the gonchar hit. you can not honestly think he's a two way player? he spends the majority of the time in the neutral zone hanging out by the offensive zone blue. He's a tremendous goal scorer, he have ungodly power, he is a dirty player

does sid deserve the C, I don't know. I'm not in the locker room. And after last nights game you can kindly STFU about diving. the caps were falling over like cuban ash in a breeze last night so I don't want to hear it.

can we all agree that the new sticks suck?

So since other people take dives it is okay for Crosby to do it? As far as being a two-way player, all I can say is not a lot of goals are scored by the other team while he is on the ice.

[loki]

So since other people take dives it is okay for Crosby to do it?

where did I ever say that?


well back to cigar chat for me

[King James]

Caps/Pens and Hawks/Canucks series were both great to watch last night. Glad the Hawks move on and think this Caps/Pens series deserves a game 7 it has been so awesome.

[glassjapan]

Not sure which player you're watching. I see him backchecking, forechecking, and for the most part working his butt off. Except for the times, and they can be a lot sometimes, when he stays on the ice too long. I like star players that will smash you in the mouth. Take their hits and dish them out. "Dirty" to me is stickwork. Dirty is jumping the opposing centerman and sneaking him when he doesn't know it's coming. Dirty is getting in the scrum and punching a guy in the sack when his back is to you. Can't stand soft players that stay in the refs ear. But that's just me...

[icehog3]

As a Wing's fan, but probably even if I wasn't, I'll take Datsyuk. He's only nominated for 4 awards, although most don't realize he really does deserve consideration for the Hart. His stats don't lie: he leads the high powered Wings in scoring for multiple years in a row, is easily the Wing's best offensive penalty killer, leads the league in take-aways by a 2-1 margin multiple years in a row, won the Lady-Bing 3 years in a row, and should have won the Selke multiple years in a row. He's pretty much the best player on the best team yet he gets no legitimate consideration for the Hart; at least this year he was nominated.

I am not partial to either team. I am also way more of an Ovi fan then Sid fan. That is speaking as a fan of the game and the goals and electrifying manner in which he plays. He trully is often a human highlight reel. Sid is also a friggin cry baby at times.

That as the context, I dont know too many persons who dont think that Ovi routinely gets away with charging and leaving his feet and throwing elbows/forearms to the head. He is a dirty hitter plain and simple. We are not talking Steve Downie on Dean McAmmond dirty hit, but he does regularly give dirty hits. The thing about is that he is big and strong and can take a hit also. He is also pretty good about watching for hits so he rarely gets caught. Eventually someone is going to smoke him though. He not only gets away with it from the refs, but also the opposing team often.

Having played against a few guys who use there sticks in a dirty manner I will say while its annoying and may bruise and piss you off, its usually more of an irritant. Dirty hitters are much more dangerous. I have seen guys get slufooted in rec league and need surgery. Dirty hitters are way worse and more dangerous then guys who use there sticks like Bi*ches
As to the diving complaints. Its the friggin playoffs and a super close series.

let's go red wings!!!!!

Agreed, hockey should not be played in warm weather climates.

An Original Six final would be okay with me.

[taltos]

An Original Six final would be okay with me.I told Tom before the playoffs started that I would love to see the B's and Hawks. Both teams are overdue for a cup and it would be great for hockey. The Wings would be a great series also.:tu

[jamesb3]

Wings Back to Back would be good in my book!:D

[taltos]

Wings Back to Back would be good in my book!:DI'm sure.:tu

[jamesb3]

Congrats to your Bruins Paul, forced a big game seven. Should be a great game.

[taltos]

There will be a game 7 between the Bruins and the Canes.:D

[Bruins Fan]

The Bruins are back on track, the Garden will be rocking:tu

[MedicCook]

Getting ready for the Red Wings series win!!

[ahc4353]

The Quiznos commercial is disturbing.

Congrats Paul. Sorry Joe. Game 7 should be one heck of a hockey game.

[King James]

you mean you found it funny that a playoff game was dominated by home town fans and thus there was a lack of celebration for an visiting player?

I think she was more commenting on how it was funny crosby cried about all the hats and then he got one pity hat thrown out for him, not that the home team guy got more.:2
Posted via Mobile Device

[MedicCook]

No score after the 1st period.

[jamesb3]

Getting ready for the Red Wings series win!!

Let's not jump the gun Ryan. 0-0 after 1st period. Wings need to step up and match the Ducks intensity. Need to get more pressure on Hiller, been to easy for him so far. That said, let's go Wings!

Damn I love hockey!

[MedicCook]

I had to shut down my IE and now the feed won't load.

[Ahbroody]

Now that was a game. I got to say I like the Bs chances. Last game 4-0 this game 4-2 but they really carried the play from the puck drop. Looked a lot like game 1. If they come out like this in game 7 they could pull it out. I think they got momentum for sure.

Anyone just here them playing drop kick murphys on the speakers at the ducks game? Little heading up to Boston. Now that was funny.
Hiller is looking STRONG right now. If he keeps it up he may steal this one.

[MedicCook]

2-0 Ducks.

The Ducks defiantely have the intensity in this game. The Wings really need to step it up.

[SmokeyJoe]

Thanks, Bro. Bruins did what they had to do. If the 'Canes can't get more intensity and desire for game seven, they don't need to advance. :(

Congrats Bs for a good win. I'm hoping for a better result for the Hurricanes on Thursday. :ss

[jamesb3]

2-0 Ducks.

The Ducks defiantely have the intensity in this game. The Wings really need to step it up.

:tpd:

[chippewastud79]

:tpd:

:tpd: Looks like the Wings are resigning themselves to Game 7 thus far :bh

[MedicCook]

You can tell the Wings are playing like they are waiting for game 7.

[Shaerza]

the officiating in this game is terrible.. wth

[MedicCook]

The miss calls seem to be a wash though.

[MedicCook]

Wings finally break through with a PP goal. 2-1 with a couple mins left to play.

[MedicCook]

The Wings make it interesting but still fall short. The Ducks deserved to win the game. Some nice action after then end of the game.

[Bigwaved]

Nice! The Wings v. Ducks is getting serious now.

[althekillr]

great playoffs so far. tonights game should be fantastic. wash vs. pitt

[Ahbroody]

Tonights game is going to big, cant wait.

[Shaerza]

This guy now has tickets to game 7! I can't wait

[icehog3]

I wasn't real impressed with Getzlaf, Perry and Neidermeyer going after Hossa, Rafalski and Datsyuk....talk about picking your spots. I lost all respect for Neidermeyer with that sucker elbow at Pavel while 4 other guys were throwing punches. What a p#ssy.

I think the Hawks could beat the Ducks at this point, but I would rather see them play Detroit than the punks from out West.

[MedicCook]

The Wings need to really kick it up a notch in game 7.

[Sawyer]

Tonights game is going to big, cant wait.

The whole Caps/Pens series has been great. I wouldn't miss tonight's game for anything.

[jamesb3]

The Wings simple need to use home ice to crank it back up. Need to play the way they did in games 5 & 6. I'll be watching every brutal moment from home. Could have gone to the game but my wife is out of town and no one to watch the little man. Oh well, hope there is a next round.

[Ahbroody]

I would have said it first, but I would have been called a homer

doubt it. it was very dirty. The end of the game is why no one but ducks fans likes the ducks style of play. They are a dirty team at times. It was very sad to see that. dont expect any suspensions though. Apparently the league has decided they wont suspend anyone this year.

What a homer thing to say... :D :r

[Ahbroody]

I can only assume your homer comment ws directed at me as I was the only person to use the word.

I would like to say there is nothing wrong with being a fan and backing your team. Thats exactly what a fan does. A homer is one who ignores the negative aspects of what there team does and sees anything against them as bias or being screwed.

That was the point I was trying to make prior.

[Ahbroody]

You should really be loving this one. I don't know who this team is that is playing the Penguins, but I am not sure how they got this far.

As I type, 4-0. Wow.

[jamesb3]

Damn that sucks! So much for Overchokin' and the Caps. Stick a fork in them cuz they look like there done.

[taltos]

If they win tomorrow, it looks like the Bruins got the team that they wanted. The Caps gave us hell this year.

[jamesb3]

If they win tomorrow, it looks like the Bruins got the team that they wanted. The Caps gave us hell this year.

As much as I hate to say this, wether it be Boston or Carolina, they will face a very tough, determined and confident Pens team.:pu

Damn it made me sick just to say that!

[Ahbroody]

man 5-1 and I thought Sid was greg louganis(sp) there for a second bought saw a bloody noise I thought.


OOOO man dagger in the heart 6-1 Sid with the death blow. I love how when the crownd was booing him after the high stick he looked like he was going to cry. QQ MFer QQ

tell me about it...

but...

Let me congratulate the Penguins and their fans on a great game tonight. They played like a team in both ends of the rink and outplayed the Caps in every phase of the game. Let's hope the Canes can do the same tomorrow night!

That was the point I was trying to make prior.

I know I know. My point was that since Tom is in Chicago and a Hawks fan, he can call out the Ducks for a few cheapshots. I was poking fun at you suggesting that because I live in Metro Detroit and am a Wings fan, you would have called me a homer. Obviously I don't know it for a fact, I was just throwing a little jab in good fun.

:bx

P.S. for the record I do not think I am a homer. I AM a huge fan but I do not blindly assume my team deserves every call. I applaud good plays and good calls against my team when it's appropriate. For example, the Wings got smoked in Game 6. They had about 5-6 minutes of good play the whole game. The Ducks were the better team. The Wings offensive talent almost bailed them out in the last 30 seconds but they deserved to lose that game.

[bugmenot]

I think the Ducks play at the end was not surprising. EXCEPT for niedermayer, who threw that elbow. Never would have expected something like that from him, but I guess when you are on a team with a bunch of other cheap shot artists, and the king of them all, Pronger, you learn their trade. Shame, as I never thought he would do something like that.

I think Perry pisses me off the most. He has done a few things this playoffs which I thought deserved at least an extra look, and a fine, and he got off with nothing. Maybe the Wings have someone to go after him? I expect zero suspensions as it was game 6, AND it was niedermayer. I hate the NHL for its inconsistency on things like this. They set everything up with the Brashear hit, and I feel after that stopped caring.


Didn't get to see the Caps/Pens game, but what a blowout. I WILL find a way to see the Wings/Ducks game, as the Wings should be coming out hard after that embarrassment from last game.

[Mikey202]

LET'S GO PENS!!!!!!!:wo:dance:

[Ahbroody]

Talk about late to the discussion.

Kind of bummed, I take my son to his beginner hockey class thursdays at 430 pacific. Then I got work tonight right after. Looks like my XM portable radio will be getting some use today.

[jamesb3]

Less than 5 hrs till game time. I am so geeked! Damn I love hockey!

[Ahbroody]

Interesting.
I just heard that the Pens took zero penalities last night. Now I am not one for conspiracy theories, but that is odd. I am holding judgement to see how the Pens next series is called.

I hate to be the spreader for conspiracy theories, but also check out Bettman and his major love affair with Sid the Kid. They are letting bad breath be called against him.:D

[ahc4353]

First off, congrats Kevin!



As for the below, :r I love it!

Bettman is gonna get Sid his ring! The only love affair that is worse is the Chico Resch / Marty Brodeur gag fest (meant literally). It amazes the boys and I that he can even do the commentary with his mouth so full (if you know what I mean). It's so bad I mute the TV during Devils games. :ss

[Ahbroody]

Is it as open and disgusting as Grapes Love affair with Sid?
I got to tell you watching coaches corner some nights you just want to throw crap at the TV.
I am suprised they still give Cherry a microphone they way he chokes on thos good ole Canadian Boys and flames those horrible Euros. The worse was when he was comparing the ovechkin celebration to the Soccer goals celebration. He made sure to use a lot of ethnicity in the celebration footage as well. Grapes makes me laugh sometimes, but sometimes he is really sad

lets compare what sid and ovi did shall we? two goals for sid one for ovi. I guess the league came down and stopped that first shot glove hand side by ovi....oh yeah there he is, directed the puck right to MAF. Flurry played LIGHTS OUT last night, sid had another gear that no one else did, the better team won.

I had a long response typed out but I'll end this post with

Nice Kevin!

But come on, not one penalty? In a playoff game!! They are hockey players not angels. Gotta admit it is odd.

Can't wait for tonights games!

Edit: I will keep hatin on Sid till he shows some class. :D

[Ahbroody]

Sorry but this is needed.
First when sid was upset last night and looked like he was going to cry it was not when it occurred, it was after he looked up at the crowd and heard them booing him. Thats when it looked like QQ were comming. He gave a tear eyed why dont you love me look.

Second I was simply pointing out that there were no penalites called and it was odd. It is likely the first or second time this year no PP were called against a team this year. I was saying I am not one for conspiracy theories but it was odd. Al is the one saying Betttman will get Sid his ring, you ignored that though and attacked my post.

Let me raise an issue I find unique with your replies to me and their hostility. No offense man but I have not flamed sid nearly as hard as some other senior board members in this thread. They seem to have gotten a free pass or respectfull replies or no replies from you. You should reply equally or not at all. It looks strange to put it nicely.

[King James]

just get behind the penguins and you two will get along just peachy ;)

[jamesb3]

Damn I love hockey banter!:D

Thats when it looked like QQ were comming. He gave a tear eyed why dont you love me look.yes I'm sure the best player in the league gives two shits in the wind what the opposing fans think of him. the offer for me to smack you the face with a hockey stick and see how you react still stands

I was saying I am not one for conspiracy theories but it was odd. Al is the one saying Betttman will get Sid his ring, you ignored that though and attacked my post. yes there were only 4 penalties called all game and two of them were the high sticking call that drew blood. the refs pocketed the whistles last night, much like they did on every dirty hit ovi had...including the slufoot on malkin in game 4 or 5...not to mention the tackling of malkin behind the net when sid was on the ice getting cross checked from above 4 or 5 times. yes the games were loosely officiated at best, it goes both ways

see red


also, MAF PLAYED LIGHTS ****ING OUT last night, Sid played ungodly, the rest of the team was better because of him, the best team won this series, no conspiracy....though I did see nhl officials blocking shots and making sure MAF stoned Ovi on that first shot. they also moved pucks to chase varlamov from the net....now that I think of it maybe there was a conspiracy.

to understand where I'm coming from you have to be a PA sports fan. Not one of our teams gets credit for ****. the steelers win the super bowl twice in 4 years "oh that's because of this blown call or that", PSU wins a title game "oh blown calls", pens win "conspiracy", eagles win "it's a fluke", pitt wins "well maybe next year they won't suck so bad". it's old it's tired this town is here to stay, get over it and give us the god damned credit we deserve.

please note the non-red is for everyone in this thread, not one person in particular. I don't want to hurt any ones feelings

[loki]

On top of that go look at what varlamov and the caps coach said about crosby.

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

Damn I love hockey banter!:D

:tpd:

[coreyb]

Not only that look at all of his cups.....:fu

[Ahbroody]

As to post #1432 I am not going to reply to that I think you do my job for me. Yikes man how do you live with the sky falling over there all the time. Everyone is out to get you guys. Hey its a great montra for coaches and fans to complain about no respect though.

I will repost what I already posted. You seem to take the abuse and have no issues and nothing to say if a senior board member says negative about Pens or Sid. If someone with a low post count or not so well known says something then you get offeneded. I hurt your feelings in a sports banter thread? Thats funny. Its called banter bro. If you cant take some good natured ribbing and trash talking in a sports thread you should probablly take a step back. I guess we should only be able to poke at certain teams. Well I will openly say my team the Sharks have become the biggest under achievers in hockey over the past few years. I dont think anyone did it to them but themselves

Asking me if I would like to be struck in the face with a hockey stick? I have played hockey off and on since my early 20s when time and life has permitted. I am aware of how sticks hurt.

Seeing as how this link did not even get a reply from you earlier when posted I will go post it again so you can speak out now cause its me posting it.
http://www.crosbysucks.com/

I dont dislike the Pens, I dont dislike crosbys style of play. I think he has soft skin. Evidenced by him complaining to refs about fans throwing hats for a hat trick. I think he is the poster boy of the league, cause he is a good ole canadian boy.

[King James]

On top of that go look at what varlamov and the caps coach said about crosby.

wasn't it something like "Crosby is a very talented young player, he is second best in this league only to Ovechkin" ?

[loki]

you should probablly take a step back.

you're right, I do. I'm not in a good place in my life right now and if you think that I took it out on you well then I'm sorry that you feel that way. Either way, I'm out

[bugmenot]

Wings up 1-0! Refs are calling some weird penalties, and letting some other things go. Stupid one by Getlaf after he witnessed the earlier calls though. Need to adapt to the refs style, and stop with the cheap things.

Wish I could see the whole Cans/Bruins game, but only get 1 game. I think I get to see the end of it depending on the Wings/Ducks game.

[jamesb3]

1-0 Wings. Gonna be a tight physical game. Lots of thrash talk already. Did I already say I love hockey? Oh well. GO WINGS!!

[jamesb3]

2-0 Red Wings! What a breakaway!!!!

[SmokeyJoe]

Boys... Boys... Boys...

Let's have a cigar and enjoy some incredible Hockey! :ss

[bugmenot]

2-0! Nice by Helm, he has played physical when I have been watching. He is young too, and can replace one of the players that they aren't going to be able to keep. Going to have to pick him up next year for my fantasy keeper league.

And Pronger is at it again...

[jamesb3]

Wings kill off a couple big penalty's! Man what a game!

[jamesb3]

Chit, 2-1.

[jamesb3]

3-1 just like that!!!

[jamesb3]

Double Chit! 3-2.

[bugmenot]

3-2 on a bs call too. If anything ducks should have had the penalty called on the cross-check, but what can you do.

[JE3146]

Close game...

[jamesb3]

All I can say is I have nothing to worry about the black birds...did some research of this past season between them and the Wings and here it is:

Tough luck. I was so exhausted last night from sitting on the edge of my seat. It really could have gone either way, but I am obviously happy with the outcome. PM sent, and thanks for playing .

Oh, and I lost a fiver to Joe on the NCAA Basketball Championship game last month. So now I'm even. But Joe....well, I think he may a nicotine/gambling problem with all these winnings. Isn't there a hotline he can call? :dance::dance:

[bugmenot]

Congrats to the Cans. Hoping they can find a way to beat the Penguins, but am doubting that one.

Thinking the Wings/Hawks series is going to be exciting, but think the Wings win in 5 as well. Would rather see the Hawks win, but don't think the goaltending is going to be good enough, and Datsyuk is eventually going to come around. Games should be exciting and fast, but just don't see the Hawks pulling through, but there is a reason why they play the games.

Ahbroody,

You see the Sharks are freezing ticket prices? From the sound of it, Wilson is still upset, and hasn't cooled down yet.
