Flyers are poking a sleeping bear with all these good vibes. Im not used to it.


Wow what an easy goal for the preds

Your guys are saying a lot of the right things, and have every right to be confident right now.

However, I still have hope. Just. Win. One. That's all it takes to ignite that spark.

From HFBoards. :(

Fuck you, Torres, you fucking piece of shit.

And now he kicks out someone's leg. This guy is fucking... Ugh.

I've been optimistic and felt we could win the series even if we lost this game.

But this is exactly the kind of backbreaking game you don't come back from. Wings have thrown everything at Nashville, completely dominating them but still not getting any scoring done. And then Nashville scores 2 (3 really) weird goals.

Wings have to get it done in this game. Otherwise it's over.

LOLDulov going nuts on the bench.

At least it shows he cares.
I haven't been following the team long enough to remember him from his first stint, but he's been very impressive and this goes further to raise my opinion of him. A great asset to have.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage

Blood on Shanahan's hands, if serious.

Lemieux's obviously trying to bribe Shanahan to let Neal and Asham play. It's the only logical explanation.

It is bullshit for both teams to have to wait 3 days to know who will and won't be in the lineup for game 4 due to shanahan being completely incompetent.

Yep. It makes zero sense, and it's not fair to the teams waiting to figure out their line combos.

This team isn't built to go deep in the playoffs and needs to be reformatted.

While all the other Central teams were improving, Ken Holland sat on his hands. Now it's biting them bad.

And in typical Babcockian fashion, he mixes up the lines with 3-4 minutes left, too little time to actually turn the game around, but enough time for the new lines to play great and almost score just to prove that he should have made those changes much, much earlier.

ARGH. This will be one of the toughest losses in a long time. Insanely frustrating game.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
If I hear any hockey media defend Torres tomorrow in saying "It was a hockey play" I'll lose my mind.
He's pretty much getting ripped apart on Twitter. Not really any way to defend that hit, in any sense.

If the players lockout this league they deserve to get a massive cut in the salary cap. Just asinine.

I'll smash Milbury with his shoes.

Glad to hear that at least, but it's the ones that have the power where things need to change, hence why I pointed out Hockey Media. I guess that extends to any ex players, the league brass, etc.

That wasn't my point in posting that.



Right. Totally intentional too.

I know. Still deserves to be said.

Lol at the announcers saying it was "close" that Torres had his feet off the ice.
