Hockey Talk

[HATE!]

Such a weird playoffs so far.  I fucking despise the Pens, but if they get swept, that's gonna be pretty wild.

[dude]

I'm looking forward to the Caps/Bruins game tonight. Tim Thomas is gonna really hear it from the Washington crowd after denying the White House.

Also, for those who missed it

All the fights between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh

And Crosby's post-game reaction

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.

No argument here, Canucks fans are very cocky

Shaw got 3 games, Hagelin got 3 games. Weber got..a fine? Wait that really happened? Fuck still can't believe that, Shanahans afraid to suspend any stars and just saves the discipline for the role guys. Watch Neal not get anything

[dude]

This is completely fucked. No call from the officials? Quenneville's reaction speaks for everyone. Torres is such a piece of shit. Needless to say, he's suspended now.

Coach Quenneville on Torres hit. Phoenix Coyotes vs Chicago Blackhawks 4/17/12 NHL Hockey

[macgruber]

Pens/Flyers game 3 was just embarrassing for the Penguins. Played like shit. Acted like shit. Neal and Asham get suspended. The only two positive things were Letang beating the shit out of Timonen and Crosby batting Giroux's glove away.

[pile]

can't wait to watch the games tonight. as for all of this suspending and head shot shit being in the headlines, it boggles my mind that hockey has come to this. i don't condone complete goonery but growing up watching hockey in the 90's, you wouldn't really be too blown away by some of the hits that people are getting banned for these days. generally a fight would just ensue after a gnarly hit and that was that.

[Nick..]

Schneider starting tonight, the other Sedin is playing tonight. Bye bye Luongo?



And I thought this was funny

Sweet baby jeebus that series is getting crazy. If it goes to a game 7 they are projecting 100+ goals in a series lol.

Go Pens. I would love to see them come back now, if only to shut up the obnoxious philly fans. Oh what Crosby's crying again? Well he's also scoring goals again, deal with it.

My math doesn't really agree with that.

But the Pens comeback is underway and I'm psyched I finally got to see a playoff win.

With the way the Goalies are playing I wouldn't put it past them.

Fuck why couldnt the Canucks win last night been game 3 instead of game 4. I have little faith, even after a solid showing like that

[Choad Muskrat]

in the first 4 games there was 45 goals. 100 is a bit of an exaggeration but 75 is possible.

[Beeda Weeda]

seriously, i dont care about any other teams, defense or anything, i just wanna watch the pens flyers play over and over and over.

haha There's a security guard called "The Keeper of the Cup" who's with the Cup at all times. He'll let you touch it. But no dice on the lifting.
