NHL '12 Playoffs |OT| "The Cup is our destiny this year."

8.5% beer is the only kind of beer. Not like that swill they drink in the States.
Wow, I just ended an almost two hour string of Canucks fans drowning their tears. Sorry about that fellas.

DUDE YOU BROKE THE STREAK WE CAN'T EVEN DO THAT RIGHT.

I had a 10% beer once.

It was disgusting.

Really drunk. Sorid details will come later maybe its the multiple $4 shots but I really love you guys. Even Marvie.
You should buy us all shots.

Edit: The details better involve pants off time with a lady... or man. But only if he can play.
 
I accidentally ordered a Bud once.

I thought someone pissed into my glass.

Also, I realize it's not alcohol, but I fucking love Rivella. I had that shit almost daily when I was in Switzerland.

You are officially the first person outside of Switzerland I've met that enjoyed it. My girlfriend only enjoyed the green one when I brought her over. I brought 2L bottles over here for her family and it took them forever to understand that it's a softdrink made of milk. (that's how we roll.)

Also, Molson tastes like pisswater to me, so there's that.

Fuck that green tea bullshit, this is all that matters.

Also, Molson doesn't count. It tastes like pisswater to everyone.
 
Damn I miss my good old Swiss/German beer.
Best beer I've ever had was in Switzerland.

At least Canadian beer > US beer
Hell nah. Both countries' "major" beers suck shit but the US crushes Canada when it comes to great smaller brands.

I have a rule not to drink any beer with "bud" in the name.

Rivella is awesome.

It wasn't my fault, I ordered the prime rib burger special they had and it came with a pint of the house draft.

The house draft was Bud.

I've learned to ask next time. Burger was awesome though.

Has anyone here had a Longboat Chocolate Porter? That shit is amazing.
 
Man. These playoffs have already delivered soooo much. Entire Canucks circle jerk is an alcoholic mess, hopefully the blues take a hard loss tomorrow and those band wagoners follow suit.

I'm scared of waking up tomorrow, coming back here and reading people's responses. ... Actually, nope. It'll be fun. Cya tomorrow.

PS: glad to hear people have been to Switzerland and enjoyed it, so many people go like "Oh we went on a trip to Europe and went to German, France, Italy Austria... but not Switzerland, no" IT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL OF THESE COUNTRIES HOW COULD YOU HAVE MISSED THAT.

EDIT: Also, what kind of place has bud as a house draft, that's just disgusting.

Switzerland is awesome. Anyone skipping it is missing out.

This country sucks.

How do you figure? Canadian beers have won the top prize at the Canadian Brewing Awards every single year.

But seriously, recommend some beer from American microbreweries that "crush" anything Canada's got.

Btw,

Belgian beer > Swiss beer

Crush as in number of options. Canada has some great beers too.

But, pretty much anything from the Surly or Summit in Minneapolis are good. Also, Shiner (Spoetzl), Bell's, Sierra Nevada, New Glarus just to name a few.
 
This Canucks cirle jerk seems different.

I think you guys are too limp for this to work.

They'd know a thing or two about limp after as much alcohol as they seem to be having.

Got a few hours to myself so I'm watching the Penguins collapse, the Canucks one would be the obvious game to watch today, but the Penguins one looks more hilarious. The 15 sec Crosby goal and the Talbot goal of salt are amazing.

Canucks are gonna have fun at Staples Center. Being surrounded by criminals and an organ player who constantly gets the crowd jeering at the goalie... And I heard that Cartman personally comes down from the Jumbo-tron and feeds the parents of each hockey player in a chilli.
 
Looks like I missed out on the circle jerk. I'd be down for a Canucks-GAF meet up. As long as you guys promise not to do an in person circle jerk once we are swept
 
Don't worry guys remember that time we were up 2-0 against Detroit and Lidstrom scored from the red line and won the series? We can do that. We can be that Detroit.

Hey Queens, I'm really super glad that you're finally about to get to Round 2. It only took you Richards and Carter and an injured leading goal scorer on the other team to finally get it done, but hey at least it's not like you had Gretzky and still couldn't get a cup or anything.
 
Funny playoffs are funny.

I expect the Canucks to tie up the series. As for the Pens... I doubt it.

I agree. At least the Canucks aren't getting their hearts ripped open by blowing multi-goal leads.

Pens have outscored the Flyers 6-1 in the first period in two games. Flyers have outscored the Pens 11-2 in the second and third. Just disgusting and unacceptable at this level.
 
The team of DESTINY losing is always a nice consolation.

You never know what will happen on the road. I'm expecting a 4-2 Pens victory in Philly. They need to go back and watch defensive tapes from 2 months ago when they were killing it.
 
So...Johnson in game 3? Scoring five goals at home and still losing seems pretty unacceptable, regardless of how bad the defense was. Some of this is definitely on Fleury.

This doesn't feel like the team I've watched all season. At all. The Pens very rarely gave up leads. They locked shit down and put their heels on the throats of their opponents in the regular season. This team? I don't even know what's happening. Lots of soul-searching going on right now in that locker room.

I don't know about that, I'm mad Fleury hasn't played better but he's low on my list of hate for once. Defense allowing that many short handed goals/essentially breakaways because they're not getting bad is unacceptable. Fleury should have had some of those goals but we could put forwards as the defenseman and get better results. I think what's worse is Letang has played some of the worse after his amazing season and some people saying he would have gotten the norris if he was healthy. No one on the team seems to give a fuck and go half speed.

You're kidding........right?
 
Yeah, I don't think Brent Johnson is the answer. Team needs to realize what they have in goal and play some defense in front of him instead of "playing to win" (lol) all the time.
Exactly. Nobody is playing defense so of course the correct move is putting in a much worse goalie!
 
Hungover, damn all the booze and the PAnthers still lost. We need to play like the second and period and not get bullshit calls like a clean check and the devils player hits himself in the head with his own stick resulting in Panthers getting a 4 min double minor for high sticking. Bettman, please stay home, go do Detroit or St. Louis. STAY AWAY FROM FLORIDA.







We need to win the series as a catalyst for Parise to sign with the Panthers. He should hold us over until Huberdeau is ready.
 
I fully expect the Pens to bounce back and play a much simpler and tighter defensive game in Philadelphia. This series is going back to Pittsburgh all knotted up at two. BELIEVE.

If you say the same thing over and over, you can make it true. You're doing your part.
 
This is borderline Tabris talk.

What else am I supposed to do?

"Fuck this. It's all over."

Trying to remain optimistic in the wake of the Pens wasting a golden opportunity to make a legitimate Cup run with one of the best teams they've ever assembled.

Realistically, they're behind the eight ball, their defense has been awful, Fleury hasn't come through, and Malkin has yet to really figure out that the playoffs have started. All of these things point to a first round exit, but I'm trying to believe that someone in that locker room is going to wake these assholes the fuck up and inspire them to play the way they're capable of playing.

When Shero built this team, he built it with a "defense first" mentality. That identity has crumbled in two games. There were cracks of that identity crumbling shortly after Crosby came back, but now it's like they're trying to play like the teams from the early '90s, and totally neglecting defense.
