Canucks will win, Pens will lose.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Heh, Bob McCowan just sent an open invitation to Gary Bettman to come on his show and explain what the hell is going and why all of this chaos is still in the game.

Won't ever happen since the two hate each other, but I'd love to hear that.

 

[Malvolio]

Found this in one of ESPN's hockey chats from this afternoon:

David (Portage Park) [via mobile]

Do you think Hossa will be back on time for Thursday's game?

Jesse Rogers (4:16 PM)

No. Q ruled him out..Im not going to speculate on the rest..but he has to be symptom free for serveral days to even give it a shot..so if there is a MAYBE at all involoved it would be game 6 back at home, that is if he's not REALLY down and out from this...sounds like he is not

Oh I know they do, lol, hence why I'd love to hear it as well.

Flyers are not ones to be complacenct, even if the Penguis are down three guys on suspension plus have Fleury's moral being low, I don't think that the Flyers will take it easy thinking it to be an easy win.

Crosby doesn't have his muscle to cover for him and he may behave because his bros aren't there to save him.

Flyers need to take 1st period to burry the Pens' moral

Agree with all of this but I'm worried. Don't want them to pull one out and get some confidence with Neal coming back.

Flyers haven't lost 4 straight all year.... I guess that's a good thing. Sorta. Please win tonight!

past 3 games as experience i have no real reason to think this, i just think Bryz is going to have a monster game.

He's actually what scares me. He's WAY too confident for a guy with a 4.0 GAA. At the very least I think that'll bite us in the ass next around. Especially if we end up playing Boston.

 

[Socreges]

So hilarious being in the Football (Soccer) thread and seeing everyone throw the term "salt" around as often as we do here. Saltiness is truly an international phenomenon.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

He'd be accepted with open arms there. The odd meltdown is more palatable than the 82 games of awfulness we've had to suffer through since the lock-out.

This was actually the reaction by Canucks fans when Luongo came here. After years of being a goalie graveyard, here was an elite goaltender to save the day.

Now you'd have about half of BC waiting to drive him to the airport.

Here's the shirt they're giving away at the Flyers game tonight. Perfect.

 

[SpectreFire]

Heatley was traded. Lou is much more valuable than him too, I think they'll be able to find someone.

Spoiler

Florida :lol

I heard the Pens need a goaltender.

 

[Fixed1979]

lol Farhan on Luongo moving to Toronto

RT @CCtsn: What are the chances of Roberto Luongo between the #Leafs pipes next season?
Zero. Unless the Leafs move to Fla or Tbay

 

[Alucard]

The comeback starts tonight.

Let's go Pens.

[Kuro Madoushi]

The media would be happy once the trade happens, as soon as he has one bad outing they will be out in full force.

Reporter: "how do you feel about the boos, Roberto?"
Luongo: "boo!? I thought it was LOUUU"

 

[Slurmer]

What if Torres goes with the ol' I was jumping to brace for contact defense? The one loophole in Brendan shanahan's otherwise bulletproof determination process.

 

[Alucard]

On a team history note, the Penguins haven't been swept in a series since 1979. A loss tonight would be disastrous.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Canucks will win, Pens will lose.

Fleury and Crosby to the Leafs for a 7th and a weekly delivery of cookies from Kessel's Kookie Kastle.

See you there.

 

[yankeehater]

So Hossa has a broken jaw and will be out for game 4 at the least. Man Torres should be out for a long ass time. I think 25 games, playoffs plus regular season seems reasonable.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Phoenix's GM:

Sarah McLellan ‏ @azc_mclellan
Maloney: "You would think Raffi murdered a bus load of children the way he’s portrayed here in Chicago.

Holy hyperbole.

 

[gcubed]

I think he's much better with a better D in front. It clearly takes him time to settle in. He's been better then his 4 says because there is no D in this series on either end, but he still let's in one utter shit goal a game. I'm hoping a slower game will help all settle down if they clear Pitt.

I gotta have some optimism for the potential next series.

I just heard the broken jaw part on comcast sportsnet and the ticker on the bottom of the NHL network says he is definitely out for game 4.

Keith on Torres hit: "I've made mistake(s) myself. Torres is playing hard, trying to help his team. He made a mistake, too." #Blackhawks

The broken jaw thing was a rumor going around last night but was shot down by several sources. As far as I know there has been no official word on the extent of any injuries.

Quenneville said he's out for Game 4 earlier today.

I know Keith is trying to take the high road here, but you can't call it a "mistake" when it's something he continues to do and refuses to learn from.

I hadnt heard the broken jaw rumor so when they said it I assumed they knew something. Hopefully it winds up not being serious.

lol can't say tabloid newspapers ever do great photoshop work. Same newspaper that criticized chicago and new york with doing something similar with philly players.

 

[Mike Works]

It'll be interesting to see Daniel play tonight, won't be at his absolute best but it still makes this series more interesting.

I really wish he wasn't playing. Can't shake the feeling that they're rushing him back here.

 

[Mike Works]

lol, he's not taking the high road there, he's lobbying for a Torres suspension.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Luongo is the most-searched player on capgeek.com's buyout list, ahead of Gomez (who else).

Henrik and Daniel should swap jerseys.

 

[Acid08]

In other news, Bobby Ryan loves pussy.

Can't believe I just watched that.

 

[Smiley90]

Schneider playing? Offseason will be even more interesting than I thought... I also REALLY hope they're not rushing Daniel back, we don't want another Crosby situation here.

He didn't travel with the team for a reason. Wasn't the story that there was no plan for him to be in the line-up for games 3 or 4? Of course he's being rushed back.

yup and the kings probably aren't going to be too sympathetic.

Richards has thrown some really questionable hits in his career, I would try and keep Daniel away from the ice when he is on it.

It's rumored that he's going to play primarily on the powerplays. Dunno how legit that speculation is though.

Cant wait for the Rangers game. Time to put Ottawa out of their misery.

Spoiler

Ottawa's been playing good though, lot better than some of the other teams in the playoffs

That would be smart but still doesn't mean he won't be hit.

Seems like this could all go very badly.

He'll see plenty of Richards there....

We don't want Daniel to get a 2nd concussion.. he could be out till midway through next year! You never know with these things.

 

[Parch]

There is no such thing as a broken jaw injury. In the hockey world you're lucky if it gets leaked as an "upper body injury" so anything so specific is probably BS.
