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

The media, outside of LeBrun, just seems to want the Sharks to fail every single year. Post game talks don't even pretend to be partial.

I think it's gotten worse every year as the Sharks continuously make them look dumber and dumber for picking them. At some point you just get bitter about it.
 
Man that was a hard fought win. The rangers are really tough to play against with their unbelievable amounts of shot blocking. Karlsson was a beast and Spezza looks like his head is firmly shoved up his ass. He needs to play much better.

Spezza's trying to do too much. On the flipside Turris has 2pts in 2 games.

I wonder what we'll do if Alfie missed Game 3. If he left the game its probably a concussion.

someone needs to make the gif of the interference

Not many of them even picked us in the first place. 09 was the last year we were actually a favorite for the Cup. Since then there haven't been many members of the media on our side. Doesn't really excuse all the negative coverage.

The Blues say hi.

LA would fucking destroy you IF you get past us.
 
Couldn't post while watching since I was holding my girl having her watch her first playoff game.

Stupid and unfortunate mistake by Pickles, but it shouldn't have sunk us. Had some chances, and great first period, but just couldn't put anything in. We made some dumb penalties later in the game though. Gotta stay discipline although I can't blame them on the frustration and some of the stuff that was going on out there.

Welp, the series just got more interesting. Monday will be very telling.

Pang's usually great.

Wish I could say more, but I'm stuck with the Sharks broadcast and it's not great by any stretch.

What? We have two of the best in the league who call it pretty much down the line.
 
Fucking refs ruin the game. Fuck this.

I'm sick of the poor officiating deciding the game. Have teams bang against us, no calls on them. Have us bang against them, called on every single hit. Kesler getting a penalty for snow shower? The phantom hand pass which cost us that last chance? Henrik constantly being waived out of the circle for talking with the ref? How can we win with that? So now we have to play much more conservative and then LA gets to have free reign on us like BOS did.

Before you cry salt, just wait until your team plays. Almost every team has something to complain about today. Horrible officiating all around.

KARMA. SUCK IT CHICAGO FANS!!!!
 
This series needs some more dirty hits/flying elbows. Where's Raffi Torres, Shane Doan and Duncan Keith at? Lacks the intensity of the other games we saw today
 
They were commenting on the clip of Sobotka standing over him with his fist in the air not doing anything. I don't think the same comment would have been made on the before and after.

I get it.

A) tackles guy to ice
B) punches him in head when he's down
C) pauses and looms over him holding up fist in threatening way
D) punches him in head again

C = Classy. A lot of class.

I don't think it was all that bad or unusual. Just shocked by the effuse praise for the Blues while ignoring the cheap stuff.
 
Nice missed interference there. Can't wait to see how the refs fuck the Blackhawks in the 2nd. This right up the ass stuff is getting boring.

It's like nominating Matt Cooke for the Masterton.

I'm not defending the comment, its a silly comment given what both of us know about the situation. I was pointing out that it was the post game commentation from NHL NBC making it.

Yeah I get that. Just thought you were bringing it up as if it added some credibility. My thinking is 'well I guess the CNBC guy is a deluded Blues homer too'

On another note, just saw the Backes goal. Awesome move by Oshie.
 
Todd McLellan just said someone got a broken nose during one of the dirty hits; who was it?

WHO THE FUCK

RESEARCH TIME

edit: It was Moore at the end of the game there when Sobotka sucker punched him onto the ice. Immediately prior to the "classy" move of Sobotka not punching him anymore after blindsiding him.
 
I wanna hear Acid's opinion on the Burns elbow-suckerpunch.

Also, McDonagh with a broken helmet after the hit, second broken helmet of this year's playoffs.
 
Tabris,

Put your account where your mouth is, if you're so certain (as you were during the 2011 run). If the Canucks win the Cup, I'll have a 'Tabris is God' avatar or something to that effect for 6 months. If the Canucks don't win the Cup, you get banned for 6 months. Agreed? Pending approval from bish.
Come on. Let's do this. Since you know we're going to win, you not only get the pleasure of the Cup but also your conditional greatness recognized by me in avatar form.
