LOL!

Oh well. Fucking shit.

 

[ShaneB]

YEAH, LET'S GO BLUES!

 

[cube444]

You know me well.

Bylsma's a good coach. You can't coach MAF to stop a puck, and it must be a pain in the ass to figure out what the heck has happened to the Pens' D.

Hey, Vokoun is starting in game 5.

Vokoun has played 11 career playoff games, all with the Nashville Predators. Game 5 will be his first playoff action since 2007. He has a career .922 save percentage and one shutout in those 11 contests.

Marc-Andre Fleury started the first four games of the series. He went 2-2 with a 3.40 goals-against average, .891 save percentage and one shutout.

Vokoun will be the first playoff starting goaltender for the Penguins not named Fleury since Johan Hedberg in 2007.

Change had to be made but Vokoun "ain't winning no Cup."

You really think Vokoun's numbers are going to hold up behind Pittsburgh's defense?

 

[TalesOfWin]

first off, who the fuck are you? second, what the fuck are you talking about? thrid, fuck off. the wings were the media favorites coming into the series.

P.S.
Fuck the queens

Wings barely made the playoffs, media favorites, by whom? Barry Melrose? lol. Detroit has always been hyped for the last 15 years, but not this year, sorry.

And why are you asking who I am? Well let's say that I watched hockey since the late 80s. I am 34 years old.

 

[Montresor]

I'm watching from home tonight. So the job I mentioned before and the free seat is a no-go.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

LOL!

Oh well. Fucking shit.

yeah, pretty much. Sucks.

 

[Cake Boss]

I blame Habs fans for starting that Ole chant, Zibby thought he was in a soccer match back in Sweden and kicked it in.

 

[Alucard]

I just have my fingers crossed at this point and have almost zero expectations as a fan. If the Pens get knocked out by the Isles, all laughing and criticism will be warranted and deserved, and the season will be considered an embarrassing failure.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

I wonder if that was the goal to tie it or take the lead if the result would have been different?

 

[TalesOfWin]

looked to me that he flubbed on the puck and rebounded it on his own skate by accident.

 

[zedge]

Canucks have something in common with the Flames this season. Zero playoff wins..bada boom.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

If it was a soccer ball, it still would have gone in.

 

[TalesOfWin]

If it was a soccer ball, it still would have gone in.

but what if it was a beachball?

 

[Buba Big Guns]

It was a very borderline call. I've seen that type of goal called both ways. Thems the breaks though

People blaming the loss on that however...that is hilarious.

You're full of shit. Hockey didn't exist back then, sucka!!!

And the wings were the media favorites. Only on gaf were the Ducks chosen over the wings.

Yeah, I don't blame the loss on that. We sat back and allowed the Sens back in it. Still sucks regardless. If it went the other way I'm sure Sens fans would feel the same way.

isnt this the 2nd time habs blow a comfortable lead? They only have themselves to blame.

 

[TalesOfWin]

well the media isnt very bright now are they? The ducks have the better team and goalie.

 

[Slurmer]

The ducks have the better team and goalie.

Red wings are better looking though, let's be honest

 

[Socreges]

You're full of shit. Hockey didn't exist back then, sucka!!!

I chose the Wings.

I also picked the Canucks (homer) and Habs, though.

I wouldn't blame the loss on that, evidently. We should have put the third goal in. But let's be honest and put it another way: without those dubious icing calls, that faceoff incident and that kicking motion call, well, you lose this game. And you'd deserve it for not showing up for two thirds of the game.

Seriously, you get past the weakened Habs in the first round, you gonna get raped in the second if you don't get those reffing calls and keep playing without the puck for more than two-thirds of the games.

Or we could be leading them 4-1, let them meltdown and cruise to victory.

Series can tell you a lot of things.

I was extremely surprised when they called it a goal tbh, looked like a kicking motion to me at the game. but after watching some replays, it really could have gone either way.

 

[Freyjadour]

Hitch still quiet on lineup tonight. Won't comment on Backes or anything else.

 

[Foreign Jackass]

That third game was clearly the exception in this series.

 

[Brinbe]

in line to get into maple leaf square now. this shit is crazy

 

[Heretic]

Team? I agree. Goalie? I'd say they're even.

Red wings are better looking though, let's be honest

Woah woah woah woah! Subjective.

I chose the Wings.

I also picked the Canucks (homer) and Habs, though.

I like this pattern.

 

[Quick]

How about no?

Okay.

 

[Kave_Man]

in line to get into maple leaf square now. THAT SHIT CRAY

Fixed.

 

[Zombie James]

Packed already.

 

[Foreign Jackass]

Sooo next game :

No Carey Price.
No Brandon Prust.
No Lars Eller.
No Brian Gionta.
No Alexei Emelin.
No Ryan White.

We're really out of luck...

I don't put much thought into how the officiating goes. Shitty breaks and lucky calls are bound to happen, it's pretty much part of the game. An instigator call on Gallagher in game 3 and a suspension for Bourque, and who knows how the habs would've played yesterday.

Habs sat back hard in the third, I would rather put responsibility on shitty coaching rather than tough breaks (which were indirectly caused by the decision to sit back).


Also, playoff Alfie is back! Old man was a fucking beast last night.

 

[lupinko]

Packed already.

There's jerseys for Tomas but not for Dougie? wtf.

 

[Razorskin]

Packed already.

Can't wait for them to all go home defeated.

 

[equippedwithtowel]

That third game was clearly the exception in this series.

I'd say the game we lost was.

 

[Quick]

Packed already.

Look at all those fake jerseys.

 

[Acid08]

HERETIC GETTING AGGRESSIVE!!!!! LOVE IT.

Still feeling good about the SWEEP. Kesler only played one gaaaaaaaaame.

 

[Montresor]

Can't wait for them to all go home defeated.

I can definitely understand that sentiment. I couldn't wait for all the Habbers invading SB Place to go home defeated either.

 

[Brinbe]

Woooo, I'm in! anyone else from Leafs-age here?

 

[Foreign Jackass]

I'd say the game we lost was.

We'll see who's right when you get to the second round.

Oh, and... GO LEAFS GO (damn those bruins to hell)

 

[Kave_Man]

Man if I wasn't a Leafs-fan I would troll Mont so hard.

 

[Samyy]

Woooo, I'm in! anyone else from Leafs-age here?

I was supposed to be but I got sick

 

[Sanjuro]

Woooo, I'm in! anyone else from Leafs-age here?

Any Bruins fans?

 

[RC]

Kesler played one period.

 

[Red_Man]

I don't see either Habs or Sens winning a 2nd round after this series. This is what I was afraid would have happened had Montreal played Toronto. Waking up to a Canucks sweep made me a feel a little better, and seeing local goblin Couture playing well is nice.

Gallagher will absolutely be captain one day, but Subban will NEVER be captain. He has passion and talent out the wazoo, but you can tell he's not a guy anyone on the team would rally behind. I think they tolerate him rather than love him.

I honestly think Subban can, and in a year after Gio is done may be the best guy for it. Gallgher is way too nice of a guy to be captain, we need a guy who will confront the media and the team while leading on the ice by example by showing up when it matters. Subban can do all of that, and he's showed a lot of maturity this year. Plus he'll be a Hab for life barring another Roy situation.

Did you really just make a post that is nothing but another person's post and a reply to said post (which were a whole 2 minutes apart), stitched together with "see"?

His post are garbage so he has to refer to other peoples.

Edit: Grats to Acid on the sweep

 

[UberTag]

Any Bruins fans?

I never left. Oh you meant at the ACC... well, considering that one could fly to Boston from Toronto and get Bruins tickets for less than it would take to pay for tickets to the game in Toronto...

 

[Brinbe]

Any Bruins fans?

actually quite a bit, yeah. and they all got massively booed. all in good fun though. pleasant atmosphere down here.

 

[lupinko]

Both are pretty pricey. Right now I'm craving Haltime Pizza and their 32oz beers.

If I was up there would head down there. At least you guys can drink in public!
