nashville is a really good team, and hockey seems to b ea legit sport down there, i can dig that.

that shea weber zetterberg thing at the end was such horse shit. it's crazy he only got a $2500 fine

I try to have unbias opinion being a Wings fan, but 2,500 isnt shit. I could afford that fine. Gary Bettman was in the stands and the refs were calling everything possible. And in a league that is try to focus on head shots and suspend accordingly, this is just insane. If Wayne Simmonds would have done that to Crosby, he'd be banned from ever putting on a pair of skates.

2,500 is the max fine you can give someone. and they arent gonna suspend a star in the playoffs for that anyways, it wasnt that crazy

grabbing someone's head and throwing into the glass twice when the game is already over isn't crazy?

[thugnificent]

no, it isnt. its playoff hockey, grow up

Joe Pavelski vs Keith Ballard Jan 21, 2012

[ice nine]

Canucks fans are the worst. They fucking boo every call against them, regardless of whether it was justified. They booed saku koivu in a shootout in the 80th game of the year. They(we) come off as uneducated when they boo that bitz hit, its embarassing and stupid.also dudes calling into radio shows during the regular season, saying we should trade raymond for rick nash.

Also the general apathy at the rink is pathetic. If you can't get excited for a repeat presidents trophy team, makes me wonder how many fans will simply lose interest if the canucks miss the playoffs a few years in a row.

[Nick..]

Weber makes $7.5 million this season, $2500 is nothing to him. This Panthers and Devils series is going to fucking blow.

[Mooley]

The amount of the fine means nothing. The fine itself is just there so the league can say "watch your step." Weber's under the microscope now, and if he fucks up again THEN there will be discipline.

pens/flyers game 2: A Good-Ass Game Of Hockey.

[j....soy.....]

I think shanny felt that weber's hit wasn't dangerous, just chicken shit, and apparently chicken shit isn't a problem...

The Canucks are my team, and that whole 'Canada's most hated team' is some media bullshit, but I get why people may not like them.  The twins are hard to like, Kesler and Burrows dive like soccer players, and Louie is Louie..... Like for team Canada.....Canadians would grudgingly take Burrows for the 4th line, and Louie as a back up.

Enough about the nucks.....check out those Pens.....

[brownjenkin]

GIROUX.

[frisco]

Im on pace to make 300$

Everyone, I mean Everyone picked Pens in my pool, no one picked a single Flyer except me.

I have Giroux, Jagr, Hartnell and Timmonen also picked up Parise and Elias and Timmy Thomas

It's still early in all these series but its a good start

These Canucks are a real heartbreaking team to watch. Back to back presidents trophies, only to play like this in the playoffs.

Richards, Brown and Quick are playing way too good for us to get back in this series. If we split in LA I will be surprised.

Hopefully this loss tonight will be humbling to Canucks Nation. We can get away from being so fucking arrogant, seriously read a Canucks message board. There are some absolutely delusional fans

[cant stop]

Elias first goal. What the hell did the Panthers defensemen thinking?

[Nick..]

Vancouver lost again, oh boy...............

[ice nine]

i made my picks while high and picked daniel instead of henrik i guess

[cant stop]

Really happy that Senators took the last game. I wonder how many shots on goal Erik Karlsson got?

[Nick..]

Hagelin's headshot on Alfredsson, Carkner kicking the shit out of Boyle, Dubinsky getting ejected and smashing the Gatorade cooler, Phillips shoulder to the head of Callahan, Galiardi shoulder to the head of McDonald, Burns shoulder to the head of Nichol, Sobotka beating the shit out of Moore and breaking his nose, Roman Polak and Justin Braun and Barrett Jackman as well, and Shaw shoulder to the head on Smith.




Fucking awesome night.

[Mooley]

Well, time to wave goodbye to the Pens. They don't look like they want it at all right now.

[StabMasterArson]

The Flyers/pens game was the most entertaining game ive seen all year.

[dude]

The Flyers/pens game was the most entertaining game ive seen all year.

Agreed. I want tonight's Canucks/Kings game to go the same route. God probably isn't that kind though. That son of a bitch.

[penguin meat]

The Flyers/pens game was the most entertaining game ive seen all year.

The past three games were horrible.  Seriously, this last game must have been the 2nd worst game I've seen in about 3 years.  Hair pulling was unintentional because Hartnell has a faggot ginger fro that goes over his shoulders, but everything else was a disappointment.  Yeah, I think Pens need some regrouping.

[thugnificent]

the 3 games have been great, sounds like your just a little salty that hartnell and the boys have been stuntin on the pens

here's hoping cory schneider pulls another groin and luongo gets shelled for a dozen or so goals.

Reread my comment, I'm fuckin bummed on my team.  You must be like many other Philly fans who are too used to talking shit.  Pretty funny you take offense.

[thugnificent]

how am i taking offense? im neutral on both teams, but hartnells a beauty and the games have been very entertaining

Sorry, I took you as a philly douche.  Yeah Hartnell is a beauty, if by that you mean a goon-ginger who needs a haircut

[j....soy.....]

Looks like I'm going to be skating a bit more.....f'n nucks....come on....if we don't score on the power play....we lose.  We're like 2 for 40 or some dumb shit.....

Wow Edler was an All-Star this year? Did that actually happen?

I was so stoked on the Flyers Pens game, honestly that kind of raw scoring ability throughout the lineup is something the Canucks desperately lack. Not to mention sick rookies. Phillys team is unreal, Coutourier, Schenn and Read. Canucks have who? Kassian? Schroeder? This is obviously me venting after a crushing loss but really I'm so sick of the way this team plays. Booth had a fucking awful playoffs, he looked so promising this regular season with some actual signs of being a "power" forward, although undersized. You think we would change our cycle game? You think we would fucking go after Brown instead of bear hugging him for nearly decapitating our captain? No. We sit back, make retarded dump-ins and lose the game.

This is going to be a big off season. Im honestly in favour of trading Lou if we can, I can't imagine the thought of losing Schneider just to see him progress and Lou regress with our aging team. Schneider had a solid game, he wasn't tested as much as Quick but was dependable and had zero chance on the goal against.

We are a regular season team. And it helps that we play in the easiest division in sports. I want there to be a conference re alignment, maybe the Canucks can be tested and come together as a unit. So are we going to "flip the switch" now? Kesler looks like Ovechkin of last years playoffs, cruise in on the wing, load up a wrist shot from 30 feet out and either rifle it into shinpads or miss the net, those shots were going in against Nashville last year, and he was actually playing with some sandpaper, not flopping everywhere.

I feel sick.

I enjoyed that rant. I'm not a Canucks fan at all, but it was painful watching them. You summed it up pretty nicely. I hope Gregor Robertson bet something ridiculous with LA's mayor. Like the mayor whose team loses has to publicly give fellatio to the other dude. I'm sorry but Vancouver's mayor is a cocky son of a bitch when it comes to his city and even more cocky when it comes to his sports teams.

[Choad Muskrat]

I watched the end of that canucks game last night. 3 in a row for the kings and flyers haha shit's getting crazy.

Is it just me or do all the canucks players whine to the refs after EVERY SINGLE CALL. Your argument gets a bit watered down when you cry wolf.

Fuck the canucks haha, fuck the sens too I want all canadian teams to loose since I'm a bitter leafs fan.

I wanted the pens to go far, but glad it's the flyers who are taking it from them, those were the 2 teams I wanted to see win.
