Tanev, Hansen and Luongo are the only upside to this game/series so far.

 

[jman2050]

Okay so how do you get 9 power plays in 90 minutes of gametime and score on none of them?

How is that even possible?

 

[3N16MA]

Dude, you're not supposed to have a thick ass caveman beard until the finals. That's the whole point of the playoff beard. You're doing it wrong if you have one on Day 3.

Playoff beard starts the day the your team plays game 1. Also it's finals time at school so I'm hunkered down at home studying and watching hockey/ baseball.

THIS FUCKING POWERPLAY

At least you're not going to give up 8 fucking goals in a playoff game.

That's just cruel.

The night is young.

 

[UberTag]

Truth.

TMac Sharks seem to gain guts little by little(besides Marleau). Wilson Sharks were....you know.

Ron Wilson is one of the most overrated coaches of all-time.
He's never won the big one. Only made it to the finals once due to Olie the Goalie standing on his head.
And his teams have lost more games than they've won (652 losses to 648 wins). Although, I suppose those numbers looked better before he wound up in Toronto.

Canucks usually stop at 7.

(Insert multiple 7uongo jokes here)

Last 10 or so games of the season the Pens really fell off defensively after being a top 10 defense the rest of the season. It was the only think that worried me a little heading into the postseason. Offense picked up but defense paid the price.

lol, LA score 8 goals in one game? I don't even think they scored that many in a month at one point.

Now I have the Chicago goal song in my head. Thanks.

You're welcome.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

haha, just checked the scores. Crazy game in Pittsburgh.

Penguins fans must be sad

 

[Coldnoodle]

Quick is amazing D:

 

[Smiley90]

so close Kes.

 

[purg3]

Kesler putting on the ritz there, too bad he couldn't finish

 

[Acid08]

Commentators talking about Burrow's slashes like they're a good thing, jeez.

 

[DarkChronic]

Quick playing like an absolute beast, wow...

 

[3N16MA]

More frustrated than sad. I knew this series would not be easy as Philly has a solid team but the Pens fly out of the gate against them and then hit snooze every damn time.

 

[bardia]

Only good thing about this game right now is that Kesler finally showed up

 

[Smiley90]

Kesler switched the beastmode switch, I hope this is gonna continue in Period 3. Beastmode Kes can win games singlehandedly. Hell, he can win a SERIES singlehandedly, just ask the Preds.

 

[Fixed1979]

A few flashes at the end of that period, hopefully a sign of things to come.

Sedin skating behind the net was ridiculous, I'm not sure how neither Burrows or Hansen thought to move away from the front of the net to some open ice. Dan is missed. Fuck Chicago and fuck Keith. =)

 

[Acid08]

I would love to see Doughboy and Bieksa fight. Those dudes deserve each other.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Bruce! Hooray!

 

[Smiley90]

I would love to see Doughboy and Bieksa fight. Those dudes deserve each other.

Bieksa fights like a boss, I don't see him losing. He doesn't fight often, but when he does, ther is no mercy.

 

[Smiley90]

3 of them all making fun of PJ and he's out of responses, I love it.

 

[Marvie_3]

Bieksa fights like a boss, I don't see him losing. He doesn't fight often, but when he does, ther is no mercy.

That's because the guys that he picks are are usually smaller than him/aren't fighters.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Canucks are now -2/9 on the power play in the series.

Also wouldn't be surprised if Kesler plays like 10 minutes in the third.

 

[MacAttack]

Was Jagr getting choked up talking about Couturier?

 

[Smiley90]

Poor Marleau.

Poor Marleau.

Thanks for proving my point.

 

[Smiley90]

Thanks for proving my point.

I know, I was agreeing with you.

Poor Marleau.

Gutless is the most gentle man in the NHL. I'll hate Bieksa and stanchions forever because of that series.

 

[MPW]

can see flyers winning the series in 5 games now

by far the best round 1 playoff series

Poor Marleau.

Bah, why do I even scroll down to look at the comments out of curiosity...

 

[bishoptl]

Thanks for proving my point.

Uh, I'm quite certain that Marleau was the instigator in that little tilt, trying to spark his team.

He chose poorly.

Being at that game was the highlight of my life.

Yeah I think it happens often. Bieksa doesn't fight, but if people are stupid enough to pick a fight with him... WELL...

 

[bishoptl]

Mason Raymond fell down! Alert the media

 

[Acid08]

lmao at Ninjas In Paris playing.

 

[Smiley90]

Doughtyboy, slashing people in the head isn't nice. And no penalty ftw.

 

[RC]

Not being able to watch the game feels like a blessing.

 

[MacAttack]

So Hughson has given up any illusion of impartiality at this point?

 

[Marvie_3]

Max trying to sell but the refs aren't buying.

If that had been Murray/Clowe/etc, Bieksa would have skated away.

 

[Smiley90]

Well it WAS a penalty. He embellished, yes, still should've been a call.

Considering who your play by play guy is, no Bruins fan can talk.

 

[Smiley90]

I stand by what I said, Hansen, Luongo and Tanev best Canucks this series.

No doubt but I thought a national broadcast would play it down the middle.

 

[RC]

And therein lies the problem.

 

[snack]

Luongo's been stellar. Give him some goal support, please!
