04.15.12 | I wonder how many Fleury is gonna let in tonight. So far 2 in 10 minutes |
KSK1
04.15.12 | I had the other list but it's fine haha. This game is so awesome right now. Fleury fucking sucks. |
KjSwantko
04.15.12 | It's unbelievable man, one of the best goalies in the world and he just looks terrible. Gotta give the Flyers credit too though, they're swarming |
KSK1
04.15.12 | Yeah they're really putting on the pressure. Fleury has let in 16 goals in 2 1/3 games. That's just unacceptable. Also I really hope Asham gets a suspension for that. |
FearThyEvil
04.15.12 | I'm from Philly so I'm rooting for the Flyers. Penguins are just really doing terrible this playoffs but I'm glad for that. |
JWT155
04.15.12 | The Pens are an embarrassment to Pittsburgh, their play is undisciplined and immature. Most disgusting period of hockey I've seen in a while. Hopefully all the fairweather fans who think Crosby is the perfect son of God can wake up and see he can be a huge cunt |
acorncheese
04.15.12 | CROSBY IS SUCH A FUCKING PUSSY. |
acorncheese
04.15.12 | he calls giroux a pussy (so easy to read what he said) and then doesn't even take his visored helmet off for the fight. what a fucking prick. |
KSK1
04.15.12 | Yeah this is way outta hand now. The lack of defense on both sides is really sad. Mostly on Pittsburgh's side but that goal Neal scored was the worst display of defense I've seen in a while. |
KjSwantko
04.15.12 | Pretty much KSK. These teams are just out of control emotionally, they're all just trying to kill each other and scores goals without even thinking of defense. |
JWT155
04.15.12 | Lovejoy's turnover to Couturier was worse |
MalleusMaleficarum
04.15.12 | Neals goal was created by stellar offense tbh.
Lovejoys turnover in game 2 was definitely worse lol |
PayneTiger777
04.15.12 | I can't stand the Flyers and the Penguins. I'm glad that Nashville is doing well against Detroit.
Game 2 of the Panthers/Devils tonight. Hopefully the Panthers can pull it even. I would love to see Weiss get his first playoff win. |
KSK1
04.15.12 | Pittsburgh's defense/turnovers in general are all worse I just wanted to point out a fault in Philly's game as well. As stellar as that offense may have been, 2 defensemen should be able to stop 1 forward in any situation when you're in close quarters like that. |
KjSwantko
04.15.12 | FLA is a much better team than people think, but they can't handle NJ in a series. NJ has everything needed for a long playoff run. |
KjSwantko
04.15.12 | so many strange goals in this series, holy damn |
FearThyEvil
04.15.12 | Carle was the reason neal got that goal. I can't wait to see his ass somewhere else. He's a terrible defense-men. |
acorncheese
04.15.12 | SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP |
KjSwantko
04.15.12 | I can't even believe how bad Fleury is. Why didn't he just pokecheck Simmonds on that goal?! |
KSK1
04.15.12 | Idk if he was trying to make a flashy save or what but he should probably look at his stat sheet and realize how many goals he's let in this series. Not sure who the fuck he thinks he is but it's not 2009 anymore. Apparently he didn't get the memo. |
acorncheese
04.15.12 | this is such a pleasure to watch |
Groink
04.15.12 | Philly is ripping the Pens to shreds bahahhahaahahhahhaaha!!!!! |
KjSwantko
04.15.12 | this series is just a slaughter. Who would've thought in the playoffs a team could score 3 goals, 5 goals, and at least 4 goals and never win a game. Lmao it's hilarious. |
KSK1
04.15.12 | The best part is they pulled Fleury after the second, and then the Flyers still scored on their first shot of the third. |
paxman
04.15.12 | Unofficial NHL playoffs are better guys. They're less mainstream |
KjSwantko
04.15.12 | @ksk, I know man, Fleury looked like a zombie sitting on the bench. The life just sucked out of him.
You know. |
acorncheese
04.15.12 | the pens are just embarrassing themselves now. dirty fuckers. |
KSK1
04.15.12 | This is insane. Just get Neal the fuck out of the game already. And as i'm typing this Adams pulls Scott Hartnell's hair. Pens are re-defining the word "vagina" right now. |
acorncheese
04.15.12 | oh wow crosby you're so tough going after hartnell with adams pinning him to the ground |
KjSwantko
04.15.12 | Crosby's toughness ends at poking that Flyers' glove away when he went to pick it up off the ice. SWEEP. |

04.15.12 | SWEEP |
JWT155
04.15.12 | The Pens are a joke. |
KjSwantko
04.15.12 | I've got NJ winning again tonight, and then Vancouver finally getting a win too. |
KjSwantko
04.15.12 | The Pens are a joke. [2] |
KSK1
04.15.12 | Nah Vancouver's gettin swept too. |
KjSwantko
04.15.12 | I sure hope so, but bringing in Schneider may provide them an emotional lift and jolt the team a bit. |
KSK1
04.15.12 | Yeah for sure. I don't actually expect them to get swept but I just really want them too haha. |
PayneTiger777
04.15.12 | Good start for Florida so far. |

04.16.12 | FLA vs NJD is fucking zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Nucks will win tonight. |
acorncheese
04.16.12 | Gonna take a lot to excite me after that PHI PIT game. |
KjSwantko
04.16.12 | NJ looks like shit right now. That 1st period obliteration in game 1 might've got to their head and inflated their ego. |
KSK1
04.16.12 | Yeah this is the only series I'm having difficulty getting into. |
KSK1
04.16.12 | "Gonna take a lot to excite me after that PHI PIT game."
and yeah that's exactly what I was thinking. |
KjSwantko
04.16.12 | No game is going to be exciting after watching that incredible debacle earlier |
DominionMM1
04.16.12 | Yeah this is the only series I'm having difficulty getting into.
that's because they're two of the most bland teams in the playoffs. Jersey's been bland for their entire existence, actually. Same goes for Florida. |
KSK1
04.16.12 | Yeah I feel like Jersey is that team that's just always kinda there and when they lose in the first or second round no one remembers or cares. |
DominionMM1
04.16.12 | even when they were winning cups, they were boring. fucking neutral zone trap. |
KjSwantko
04.16.12 | that's because they we're always a defensive team under Jacques Lemaire and were boring as fuck to watch. Deboer has them in pretty good shape as far as an aggressive forecheck now, although this game is whack so far. |
acorncheese
04.16.12 | devils, panthers and rangers are the most boring teams in the playoffs |
KSK1
04.16.12 | I've watched 2 games today already and this one is just to pass the time till the Vancouver game starts but I think time is going by slower. |
acorncheese
04.16.12 | i can't even keep my eyes on the screen for more than 10 seconds at a time. |
KjSwantko
04.16.12 | that's probably true, acorn.
Deboer needs to put Henrique back with Parise and Kovalchuk; they were a beast line together. It's pretty evident Zajac isn't really back yet. Dude sucks. |
PayneTiger777
04.16.12 | Panthers haven't made the playoffs since 01, so this is almost like a dream for me.
I fucking despise Patrik Elias. |
DominionMM1
04.16.12 | that's because they we're always a defensive team under Jacques Lemaire and were boring as fuck to watch.
don't forget rob ftorek, larry robinson and pat burns. a lot of it was due to lou lamarillo. he knew playing defense was a lot cheaper than playing offense. |
Apollo
04.16.12 | 5 sucks hard
|
fsupride
04.16.12 | Stopped watching hockey, did Oilers come in last place again? |
KjSwantko
04.16.12 | yeah 5 does suck Apollo, most of these were just random.
"Stopped watching hockey, did Oilers come in last place again?"
....just slightly better than last place.
"don't forget rob ftorek, larry robinson and pat burns. a lot of it was due to lou lamarillo. he knew playing defense was a lot cheaper than playing offense." that is true. |
DominionMM1
04.16.12 | no columbus did |
JWT155
04.16.12 | The sad part about the Pens is that they haven't played that poorly the last 2 games, our defense has been atrocious and our goaltending from Fleury is god awful but we're getting the puck in the net. We won't win if we keep taking stupid penalties and allowing the Flyers to move the puck so easily. I hope Brent Johnson gets the start Wednesday. |
DominionMM1
04.16.12 | what initially looked like the best series in the opening round has quickly turned into the most one-sided series. |
KjSwantko
04.16.12 | Pittsburgh needs quit getting dragged into the dirty stuff. They get emotional and completely forget to play defense. |
KSK1
04.16.12 | Shanahan is such a pussy. First Weber gets a fine and now Matt Carkner only got 1 game. Asham and Neal
will probably walk away with raises. |
acorncheese
04.16.12 | Asham and Neal need to get fucking suspended. I hope Simmonds beats Crosby's face in during game 4. |
KSK1
04.16.12 | Same here. An assbeating for Crosby and a sweep of the Pens would be great. |

KjSwantko
04.16.12 | "So how about those Panthers, huh? They're scoring goals. Imagine that. There's nothing stopping them from winning now"
Both games have been flukey so far. NJ has the best PK the league has ever seen (literally) but has allowed 3 PP goals on 6 tries. Not to mention Parise, Kovalchuk, and Elias have only combined for 2 points so far........so, I give Florida credit but it's only a matter of time until they're wiped off the planet. |
MO
04.16.12 | if quick gets solved, LA can be beat |
KjSwantko
04.16.12 | Quick won't be solved bro, he's a badass. He's maybe the best goalie in the league IMO. |
MalleusMaleficarum
04.16.12 | offense: LA blows Nashville out of the water
defense: stalemate on the blueline, but Los Angeles has wayyy more size and strength up front
goaltending: stalemate

KjSwantko
04.16.12 | VAN blows them out of the water when they're fully functioning, but not having Daniel, and Kesler having a bad year statistically is enough to keep them average. |

04.16.12 | "Quick is playing great right now but I doubt he can keep it up the entire post-season."
do you want to know why his team barely got into the playoffs? the Kings averaged something like 2.2 goals per game which was 28th in the league. it had nothing to do with Jonathan Quick; he's been amazing all year |
MalleusMaleficarum
04.16.12 | process that if your team is averaging 2.2 goals per game and you get into the playoffs it means your goaltending is ridiculous |

04.16.12 | if a goalie gets hot at the right time, a team can go all the way. The '86 and '93 Canadiens (ROY, FUCK YEAH)and the '03 Ducks (even though they didn't win the cup) come to mind. |

I mean maybe not but probably. I like LA though, Doughty is my nigga. If (when) we lose I'll be backing them in the west, but I like Nashville too. |
DominionMM1
04.16.12 | oh yeah i forgot about calgary |
MalleusMaleficarum
04.16.12 | @metallic the Kings have much better offensive personnel than the Predators. MUCH better. It's true that they were really slow out of the gate this season with all the new acquisitions and lack of coaching direction (basically, the team was being told to clamp down and trap all the time) The offense was really slow until the coaching change (December 17th). During the final quarter of the season LA had one of the most potent offenses. Also in the playoffs so far. |

04.16.12 | watch out for Radim Vrbata

KjSwantko
04.16.12 | Iginla doesn't want to be part of a rebuild because Calgary really doesn't care about winning at all, they care about sliding into playoffs so the franchise makes more money. I was reading an article about it a couple weeks ago. Each home playoff game a team has brings in about another $1M in profits, this is the reason they keep saying they're "going for it this season" when they know they have no chance at a cup. They're just thinking about money and hoping to slide in at 7th or 8th. Calgary is a loser franchise and that's why Iginla wants out. |

04.16.12 | "the hawks jerseys are still the best in pro sports."
fuck yes they are
between the Hawks, Bulls and Bears, Chicago teams have three teams with legit claims to the best jerseys in their respective sports. Cubs and Sox are classic too, but it's tough to top the Yankees, Dodgers and Giants. |
KSK1
04.16.12 | I vote Nashville Predators for ugliest jerseys (currently) |
Hawks
04.16.12 | I'm just popping in to echo what JWT said. The Penguins are a fucking joke right now. And as bad as Fleury has looked so far, all the blame can't be placed on him at all. Having absolutely no defense doesn't help his cause. It's like he's in a fucking shootout for the entire length of the game. The lack of defense is absolutely embarrassing to Penguins fans. As much as I hate the Flyers, and I really fucking hate them, they deserve to sweep the series. Even though their defense kinda blows too, they're not on the level of how bad the Penguins are right now. |
johnnyblaze
04.16.12 | SENS ARMY MAN YOUR BATTLE STATIONS |
KSK1
04.16.12 | Just goes to show that having a stacked offense doesn't help you win in the playoffs. They actually have some solid defensemen (Orpik, Letang) but they're both off their game apparently. |
Inveigh
04.16.12 | "I vote Nashville Predators for ugliest jerseys"
yeah they're up there, along with the Charlotte Bobcats |
Hawks
04.16.12 | Well yeah, they HAVE good defenseman, they're all just playing like shit. I hate seeing people place the blame on Fleury and say he sucks because first off, he's in the top 3 goalies in the league, and second off, what's happening right now might be 10% his fault. The other 90% is just the defense blowing huge donkey cocks. |
JWT155
04.16.12 | Hawks, it's more then 10% Fleury's fault. Our defense has played atrociously but there's absolutely no excuse for the number of goals he's given up. |
Hawks
04.16.12 | Most of them have been off of bullshit redirects though that could've been prevented by the defense doing their jobs and getting it out of the zone. Maybe 10% is too low, but still the majority of the blame deserves to be placed on the defense. |
DominionMM1
04.16.12 | fleury's rebound control is atrocious, though. I've seen quite a few goals that were a direct result of fleury not being able to handle the initial shot. |
JWT155
04.16.12 | I still can't believe Lovejoy gave Couturier the puck in game 2 to tie the game back up after TK's go ahead. |
KSK1
04.16.12 | Yeah 18 goals in 3 games is ridiculous for one goaltender to give up. When your team is scoring 5 goals a game and you're losing you have a problem. With the Pens it's definitely a combination of defense and goal tending. |
Hawks
04.16.12 | That's what I was saying to my friends yesterday. You should be able to win a god damn game if you're scoring 5 goals a game. Has any team ever given up more goals in one series than this one? I mean honestly, 8 goals a game? It's ridiculous. |
KSK1
04.16.12 | I'm not sure exactly but I think I heard the announcers say yesterday that this series was already
record breaking in that regard. They also said the most goals ever scored against a team in the
playoffs was 10 so the Pens haven't made the books on that one quite yet haha. |
DominionMM1
04.16.12 | haven't they given up like 3 shorthanders so far? |
KSK1
04.16.12 | Yes something like that and I believe one was when they had a 5 on 3. |
Hawks
04.16.12 | More than three shorthanders I think. I know there was two shorthanders in game two. I know Talbot has two by himself already. I think it's probably like five. |
DominionMM1
04.16.12 | they're just giving up too many odd man rushes, and they're not protecting the space between the circles. that giroux(i think) goal yesterday was a perfect example. |
Hawks
04.16.12 | They just look lifeless. It doesn't look like they want it at all. And where the fuck is the "MVP" Malkin at? He hasn't done shit this whole series. |
KjSwantko
04.16.12 | "first off, he's [fleury] in the top 3 goalies in the league"
No way. Fleury is top 10 undoubtedly, but he's a level below guys like Thomas, Rinne, Lundqvuist, Quick. |
Hawks
04.16.12 | Nah I don't think so. Either way, that's not the point. The point is the entire Penguins team looks like absolute shit right now and they don't deserve to win. |
KjSwantko
04.16.12 | yep, not gonna argue that point. SWEEP! |
Hawks
04.16.12 | I'm gonna be shocked if it's not a sweep. I'll be even more shocked/extremely happy if the Pens actually come back and win the series somehow. That would be the greatest comeback in the history of comebacks simply because of how awful they look right now. I mean, I'm 99.9% sure that's not gonna happen, but it's something to think about. |
KjSwantko
04.16.12 | No way in hell they'll come back to take the series, but I agree that it probably won't actually be a sweep. Pens are too good not to pull out one win. Flyers'll take the series 4-1, maybe 4-2. |
Hawks
04.16.12 | No, I meant I think they will get swept haha. It's too hard to see them winning a game right now. |
KjSwantko
04.16.12 | Oh, yeah I read that quick haha. Well never the less I think the Pens will surprise us and take a game. There's a lot of guys in that room with their name on the Cup. Too much skill and experience to go out without a true fight I think. |
Hawks
04.16.12 | You're right about that. I don't know, we'll see. Maybe something will click in them and they'll decide to stop fucking up. It's just too late I think. |
DominionMM1
04.16.12 | well, if it makes you feel any better, philly isn't getting out of the semis if they keep playing like they have been. it's not like their defense and goaltending have been spectacular. |

04.17.12 | tight game, lots of close calls |
KSK1
04.17.12 | I love that the B's won, but the refs are pissing me off. They're not letting them fight at all. Everything gets instantly broken up. This is the NHL playoffs not a fucking sewing circle damnit. |

04.17.12 | It's possible the league may have instructed them to be like that after all that has happen in prior games |

KSK1
04.17.12 | "It's possible the league may have instructed them to be like that after all that has happen in prior games"
Yeah that's possible but it's been this way all 3 games so far. I could understand it tonight after the Penguins disaster yesterday but the first 2 there was really no reason. |
ShadowRemains
04.17.12 | also asham should probably get at least 10 for that bullshit last night, that shit wasn't even right in the 70s... |
KSK1
04.17.12 | "thanks a lot duncan keith you fucking cunt"
Although definitely a factor, Daniel Sedin isn't the only reason you guys are losing. |
MalleusMaleficarum
04.17.12 | how was Asham's bullshit worse than Carkner's bullshit? |
ShadowRemains
04.17.12 | he's one of the big ones, that and Quick is a beast |
ShadowRemains
04.17.12 | oh no carkner should've gotten more as well, don't get me wrong |
KSK1
04.17.12 | Yeah Quick has basically a .970 save percentage right now which is incredible. Also, I agree with you on Asham. But after giving Weber a fine, Carkner 1 game, and that other asshole from New York 2 games, it's unlikely Asham will get anything worse than that. I think Neal deserves a few games as well. |
ShadowRemains
04.17.12 | Yes Weber as well (I'm sure satty would agree with me), Hagelin got 3 games, btw... |
KSK1
04.17.12 | Oh, yeah I had a feeling I got that one wrong haha. |

NJ played well in the final period, but it wasn't enough. Panthers are the real deal. Face it. |

04.18.12 | Wow cant believe they blew that lead |
KjSwantko
04.18.12 | yeah there's just no excuse, they deserve these losses. The fact the Devils' PK was incredible all season and now have allowed 5pp goals on 9 attempts is just intriguing. |
AsoTamaki
04.18.12 | Man, this sucks. Howard is really letting everyone down. That second goal was truly inexcusable. The difference in goaltending between the two teams is way too clear. Detroit's been playing better than Nashville, but hardly anything is getting past Rinne. Now, I'm worried. |
KjSwantko
04.18.12 | Yeah man, Nashville wouldn't be nearly as good with even an average goaltender. |
BallsToTheWall
04.18.12 | Were there any fights tonight? |

Satellite
04.18.12 | hossa's out of the hospital already. excellent news. |
ShadowRemains
04.18.12 | i'd hope for at least something above 2 games (repeat offender, left his feet, late, main contact to head, taken off on a stretcher) |
Satellite
04.18.12 | does anyone buy into the popular notion that shanny not suspending weber for his cheap shot on zetterberg was the precursor to all of this nonsense? |
KSK1
04.18.12 | Yeah that's good news. And I honestly don't know. Neal was suspended for his hit on Giroux and there was no action take for the one on couturier which is very similar. But given the fact that Hossa was taken out on a stretcher Shanahan will probably give him one game. |
KSK1
04.18.12 | "does anyone buy into the popular notion that shanny not suspending weber for his cheap shot on zetterberg was the precursor to all of this nonsense?"
I think all the suspensions were deserved except for Shaw. Shanahan is definitely under a lot of pressure right now and I think he's cracking down a little after taking so much shit for the Weber incident. |
KjSwantko
04.18.12 | Agreed, he isn't going to do much, but he really needs to because the league is starting to tailspin out of control right now. If i was Shanny I'd suspend Torres minimum the rest of the series, possibly the remainder of the playoffs. Intentionally dangerous stuff like this need to be stopped. |
Satellite
04.18.12 | shanahan was definitely one of my favorite players ever (hopefully the wings retire his #14 someday) and he's got probably one of the hardest jobs in sports. he does a really good job of justifying his suspensions via youtube videos and shit, but man, he really fucked up on the weber incident. no room in hockey for that bullshit. |
KjSwantko
04.18.12 | and handing out little dinky $2,500 fines and 1 game suspensions isn't gonna make anyone think twice. |
Satellite
04.18.12 | i'm guessing he comes down hard on torres. just watched the play again, and there's no defending a hit like that. he targeted hossa's head, it was away from the puck, and he left his feet. anything less than 4 games is a slap on the wrist. |
KjSwantko
04.18.12 | exactly. I'm gonna be royally pissed if it isn't a significant suspension. But after the Weber incident nothing's really surprising I guess. |
KSK1
04.18.12 | Yep that hit has all the makings for a lengthy suspension but we'll see. That's some utter bullshit
right there and you've got a good point with the repeat offender thing. He already has 2 suspensions
so Shanny should have very little sympathy the 3rd time around. |
KjSwantko
04.18.12 | There shouldn't have been much sympathy the 2nd time around |

KSK1
04.19.12 | "this is not the goalies 'fault"
These two teams have collectively scored 42 goals in 3 1/2 games, you have to put some of that on the goaltenders. These guys are supposed to be the best of the best and they're letting in this shit. Yeah, I agree this has A LOT to do with the defense, but the goaltenders need to accept a chunk of the responsibility. |
PayneTiger777
04.19.12 | 8 to 3 and the second period still has 5 minutes remaining. This is ridiculous. |
KSK1
04.19.12 | Sorry, now it's 43. |

KjSwantko
04.19.12 | its true to his personality. True cvnt |
Hawks
04.19.12 | That hit is definitely gonna get him suspended for the next game. |
PayneTiger777
04.19.12 | I wish I could see what is going on inside the Flyers locker room during the next intermission. Most likely a lot of dented lockers and a lot of yelling. |
JWT155
04.19.12 | Rinaldo should get 4 games just like Asham. I honestly though Neil should've gotten more games as well. |
Hawks
04.19.12 | I fucking hate Rinaldo. I hate him so much. Such a pussy move. |
KSK1
04.19.12 | Yeah what a fucking crybaby. I mean did he not see what happened last game? I also think Neal should've gotten more than 1 game. At least the sens tied it up... |
Hawks
04.19.12 | Honestly I think this game is giving the Pens tons of momentum. Seeing them come back and take it in 7 games would be amazing. It's a longshot, but you never know with the way this series is going. |
MO
04.19.12 | yea that "play" by rinaldo was a disgrace |
MalleusMaleficarum
04.19.12 | "the goaltenders need to accept a chunk of the responsibility."
more like a sliver of the responsibility. it hasnt mattered if its been fleury, johnson, bryzgalov or bobrovsky... they're ALL getting lit up. because the players in front them are all floating around like idiots |
Hawks
04.19.12 | Yeah you gotta place most of the blame on the defenses. The Flyers' defense has been a disgrace the whole series and the Pens' defense has been shitty in the previous 3 games, but they're looking decent tonight. |
JWT155
04.19.12 | This has been the best scenario for the Pens to get back in it. Now all we need is Fleury to finish the game off without allowing another goal so he can gain some momentum for game 5. |
Hawks
04.19.12 | Yeah if Fleury/the defense picks it up and the Flyers' defense keeps blowing dicks, we could be in good shape. |
JWT155
04.19.12 | 10 goals hahahahahaha |
KjSwantko
04.19.12 | You can't place the majority of the blame on the goaltenders or the defensive play. Both have been atrocious and both are equally responsible for the explosion of goals in this series. |
Hawks
04.19.12 | Good lord this game is nuts. 10 fucking goals. |

KjSwantko
04.19.12 | If they manage to keep playing the way they are right now I'd call it a feasible possibility....obviously still highly unlikely though. |
DominionMM1
04.19.12 | they're the kind of team that plays like they have nothing to lose. the weight of expectation isn't there for them. |
AsoTamaki
04.19.12 | Oh, people smartening up to Florida now? Very wise.
lol @ LA missing that penalty shot and then immediately getting scored on. I guess we're not getting any sweeps this round after all. It turns out that Quick actually can't stop everything. |
KjSwantko
04.19.12 | I know, I guess he's only 9/10 machine. |
KSK1
04.19.12 | Haha, this Vancouver powerplay is something else with Daniel back in. Even though he was scored on Quick made some incredible saves on that pk. And yeah that penalty shot attempt was kinda weak. |
KSK1
04.19.12 | Also that "GO KINGS GO" chant is ear splitting. |
KjSwantko
04.19.12 | yea seriously. I can't believe neither PIT nor VAN got swept though. I'm highly disappointed |
KSK1
04.19.12 | Same here. It would be cool to see the presidents trophy winners get swept by the 8th seed. |
AsoTamaki
04.19.12 | I was expecting both to lose, honestly. Penguins are just prolonging the inevitable. Now, I can see Vancouver making a good run for it if they dominate the next game at home. Definitely will give them the confidence and momentum. Four games in a row is probably too much to ask though. |
KjSwantko
04.19.12 | I knew Pittsburgh was gonna come storming back at least a game, but I thought Vancouver was fried up and ready to be served.
Won't be long though, no way either are pullin 4 straight. |

04.19.12 | van/la is going to game 7, calling it right now
schnieder is playing almost as well as quick, and our pp is decent now thanks to d sedin. looks like we have a series finally. |
AsoTamaki
04.19.12 | LOL. Canucks don't suck for one game and look at this.
But yeah. It wouldn't surprise me. |
Aids
04.19.12 | haha wtf the first line of that post completely contradicts the second line. |
AsoTamaki
04.19.12 | Lol? Not really. I think there's a chance, but I wouldn't bet on it. Wrote that a few posts up. It's just funny the difference that one win makes. |
Aids
04.19.12 | it's not just that we won, it's how we won. Schneider out-goaltended Quick, and our top scorer returned and turned our power-play from terrible to awesome in one fell swoop.
idk it was just weird you calling me out "they don't suck for one game and look at this" when you were essentially agreeing with what I was saying. |
Aids
04.19.12 | we're a completely different team with Schneider and D. Sedin in play. I mean it's a long shot that we win the series, I give them a 15% chance, but it's much more likely now with our two best players being our two best players. |
DominionMM1
04.19.12 | "Penguins are just prolonging the inevitable."
I don't know, man. Philly's defense and goaltending have been all kinds of suck this whole series. |
MO
04.19.12 | " i'm guessing blues and bruins, with boston winning in 7 for the 2nd straight year"
that's sort of how I'm leaning this year as well |
KjSwantko
04.19.12 | wow Quenneville got fined $10K now for criticizing the officiating. The NHL is like a Communist nation now, don't even think about criticizing the governing body or you'll be punished |

KjSwantko
04.19.12 | ugh dude if I didn't love the sport so much I'd stop watching it just because of those fags |
AsoTamaki
04.19.12 | They are turning into the NFL. Except with less consistency.
Tight first period in the Panthers game. Looks like the playing has leveled out so we're gonna find out who the better team is now. |
KjSwantko
04.20.12 | NJ looked excellent tonight. |
PayneTiger777
04.20.12 | Yeah, Brodeur was excellent tonight. Hopefully Florida can rebound when they return home on Saturday. This is looking to be a pretty interesting series so far. |
KjSwantko
04.20.12 | Yeah it's turned out to be pretty engaging with all of the wild comebacks and now a blow out tonight. Ya just never know what you're gonna get in this series |

04.20.12 | they need to take out rinne and they'll win in 7. with all the goonery going on this year, who'd bat an eyelash? |
Inveigh
04.20.12 | Hawks dominated the first 50 minutes of that game, but Mike Smith was just unbelievable in the net. shitty loss, should've scored in OT about 8 seconds before the game winner went in. |
KjSwantko
04.20.12 | Goaltending as prevalent as ever this year. Rinne, Holtby, Smith, and Quick playing KEY roles. |
Inveigh
04.20.12 | yea no doubt
playoffs have been excellent so far, outside of my team going down 3-1 in 4 straight OT games and getting generally buttfucked by dirty play and Brendan Shanahan |
AsoTamaki
04.20.12 | Add Brodeur to that list. Although Florida did whiff on a couple of chances, he made quite a few tough saves.
Oh well. They definitely played better than the score shows so I hope they keep their composure and turn the heat back up at home. |
Scoot
04.20.12 | and schneider basically keeping the canucks afloat |
KSK1

04.20.12 | Willie Mitchell is playing pretty solid defense for LA. Scored a goal too. |
KjSwantko
04.20.12 | Yeah Aso that's what you gotta love about Brodeur, if he has a shitty game or two you know he's going to be sick the next. Settin' records in the process too. |

04.21.12 | Lidstrom should retire, he's still elite right now and will go out on a high note. 42 damn years old wow. Nick is a true legend. |
KSK1
04.21.12 | Peace out wings. Yeah Nick is still a legend he should bounce while he's still respected. Also the Flyers need to wrap this up already. |
KjSwantko
04.21.12 | I'm worried about them now bro, I could legit see Penguins coming back |
KSK1
04.21.12 | Same here dude. From the start I had the Pens winning the whole thing but I hate them so the sooner they're gone the happier I'll be. I missed all of tonights games and I have to miss the B's tomorrow too. Kinda pissed. |
KjSwantko
04.21.12 | I know man, Fleury is playin decent now too which is a negative. Gonna be so angry if they somehow pull it off. As far as the B's & Caps, that's been an excellent series....I've really enjoyed watching it. HELD BY HOLTBY |
KSK1
04.21.12 | He's been the best player out of both teams combined. Hard to believe he's a third string goal tender while Luongo is getting paid 10 mill to ride the bench. |
KjSwantko
04.21.12 | If I was him I'd want to get the hell out of Vancouver, the fans hate him.....atleast they do as soon as he lets in more than 1 goal in a game haha |
AsoTamaki
04.21.12 | Lidstrom probably is done. One of the last remaining guys from back when I started following the NHL. High note? Sure, in the sense that he is still very skilled, but this was the WORST team he's played for in his 20 year career. I can't believe it. |
Sirob
04.21.12 | really too bad detroits out this early:(
and to make things worse i feel like lidstrom is going. hes done his time here. |
KjSwantko
04.21.12 | Definitely the worst team. I'll never forget the oldschool bros like Chris Osgood and prime Sergei Fedorov.....loved watching the Wings back then. |
AsoTamaki
04.21.12 | Yeah, man! Those were the days. Watching that team made me a fan. Yzerman was my favorite. But yeah. They've honestly done a great job building the next generation with guys like Datsyuk and Zetterberg, but it's not quite the same. That's being proven now. And Howard is no Osgood, Joseph or Hasek. Never really felt that he was a true Red Wings goaltender. I don't even want to think about the future. Man...still can't believe they're out. |
ShadowRemains
04.21.12 | "And Howard is no Osgood, Joseph or Hasek."

04.21.12 | it probably would've been 15 or 20 if he played for a team that anyone actually cared about. |

Schneider WILL be a starting goaltender next year and I'll be so fucking angry if the management let's it be for another team.
Luongo for Lecavalier though? da fuck? I'd be down. what is it with the Canucks and making trades with Florida teams? |

"Did CuJo even win a single series as a Wing?"
He won a first round series against Nashville, funnily enough...
At least I've still got the Panthers. Theodore wasn't gonna let Brodeur show him up like that. Good stuff. Just gotta beat them one more time. |
KSK1
04.23.12 | A friend and I had a small wager on the cup. I said the Pens would win and he said the Wings would and just like that they're the first 2 teams eliminated. Also thank god the B's managed to hold on and push a game 7. I would've freaked I fucking hate Ovechkin. |
PayneTiger777
04.23.12 | I didn't get to watch the Panthers game last night, but once I heard the score I was ecstatic. I never thought they would be up 3-2 against the Devils.
The east is fucking intense right now. I really hope Ottawa doesn't win and I want Boston and Washington to just annihilate each other so one of them limps into the next round. |
KSK1
04.23.12 | "I want Boston and Washington to just annihilate each other so one of them limps into the next round."
That's one of the only series without any injured players at this point. Although game 7 is sure to rule and I think Lucic is gonna end someones life. |
KSK1
04.23.12 | Bye bye nucks! Sup guys? |

KjSwantko
04.24.12 | Vigneault leads the team towards the top of the league every season. How is he the problem? The problem is the team itself; The Canucks need more toughness. They'll be able to get a key addition(s) by trading Luongo though, which seems to be the logical move. |

04.26.12 | I like all 4 teams out West that are left, I don't even care who beats who. I'm kinda rooting for the underdog Coyotes though because they are the weakest team prima facie. |
KjSwantko
04.26.12 | @ Spec, on the OT goal? I didn't notice any significant tender interference. |
Spec
04.26.12 | Depends which angle you see it from maybe. |
KSK1
04.26.12 | It wasn't goaltender interference but I can't wait to listen to everyone say that it was. Just because contact is made doesn't make it interference. If the goaltender has the opportunity to play the puck (which he did he just didn't get to it) it's a fair play. One could also argue that the Bruin player pushed him into Thomas. There's multiple ways it could go but I don't think it was interference. |
Spec
04.26.12 | Like I said it is what it is. |
KjSwantko
04.26.12 | Either way, it was about time the Bruins finally lost a game 7. They went 3/3 in them last year on the way to a championship. |

KSK1
04.29.12 | Yeah I wanna see the Rangers lose to give LA a better shot but they way they've been playing I don't even know if they need it. They took out one 1 seed why not both? |
KjSwantko
04.29.12 | haha yeah seriously, might as well take out the other 1 seed. I'm so glad I'm not a Canucks fan though holy shit. Lose in game 7 of the Finals last year, win Presidents Trophy this year only to get eliminated in the first round haha |
KSK1
04.29.12 | Yeah I imagine they're not too happy right now haha. If anything, they should be routing for LA too. That way they can say they lost to the best. |

05.03.12 | what shadow said |
KSK1
05.04.12 | Now to watch Bryzgalov fall apart
EDIT: and 15 seconds later...... |
KjSwantko
05.04.12 | you can't really blame it on Bryzgalov; he was screened on the Elias shot, and Kovalchuk is gonna score at least 50% of the time when he's alone on the goalie. NJ is just putting on a clinic in the offensive zone right now |
KSK1
05.04.12 | I don't blame him entirely, but you can't say that his poor performance has nothing to do with the
Flyers poor play. First goal was easily stoppable he should've had it. Second goal was a bad turnover
but it's the goaltenders who are reliable when in bad situations like that that win games/cups. He's
way too inconsistent. He gets in a groove and as soon as he falters all his momentum is gone and his
game falls apart. NJ is eating them alive right now with that forecheck but sometimes it's up to the
goaltender to keep them in it while the rest of the team finds their stride and that's where he fails. |
KjSwantko
05.04.12 | Yeah that's true; he's no Quick, Smith, or Rinne that's for sure. But at the same time those teams are responsible defensively which makes it easy for the goaltender. The Flyers just aren't good defensively. I agree though, Bryzgalov isn't helping their cause by any means. |
KSK1
05.04.12 | Yeah they have a lot of defensive issues as well. I just think he's the weakest goalie left in the playoffs and will ultimately be a big reason that the Flyers won't win the cup. I'd be pretty amazed if they did. |
KSK1
05.04.12 | On that note, tie game lol. |
KjSwantko
05.04.12 | Yeah Bryz is the weakest for sure. NJ needs keep that vicious forecheck going, sitback and the Flyers will eat them alive. |
KSK1
05.04.12 | Yeah they definitely have the offense to compete with NJ anyway. |
KjSwantko
05.04.12 | oh definitely, PHI might have the best offense in the league but NJ is really underrated in that regard |
KSK1
05.04.12 | Yeah Parise, Kovalchuk, Clarkson, and Elias all had relatively impressive numbers for the regular season. They have Zajac back now too. |
KjSwantko
05.04.12 | yep they've got plenty of offensive.
Brodeur is as bad as Bryzgalov; he's given up 2 shit goals tonight. |
KSK1
05.04.12 | Yeah not Brodeurs best night. If anything I'd say Bryz maybe even had a better night than Brodeur. So much god damn over time this year though. |

05.15.12 | Seriously they're an incredibly beatable team but Lundquist is gonna be a bigger challenge for them than Bryzgalov was. I think NJ has the forecheck to win (as displayed last series) but we're gonna see a lower scoring series. NY also has a significantly better defense (Del Zotto, McDonagh, Girardi) than Philly did. |
KjSwantko
05.15.12 | ugh I hate this team so much |
8bit
05.16.12 | I have all Phoenix and New Jersey players in my hockey pool. I don't know why I put all my confidence into Mike Smith but he better smarten the fuck up. I think LA will win the cup. |
KjSwantko
05.16.12 | unreal that LA had scoring problems all season; they look disgusting right now. Mike Smith can only do so much playing behind a team that's getting worked over hard |
8bit
05.16.12 | It makes sense that everything is clicking for LA though, especially when looking at their team on paper, all of their top 6 forwards would be on the first line for Phoenix. It's like LA just did mediocre all season just as a poker face. You're right about Smith, he can only carry the team so far, and when he's getting 50 shots a night he's bound to give some up. |
KjSwantko
05.16.12 | I'm surprised how outclassed Phoenix is against LA; I was expecting a hell of a series. And yeah, the fact that LA has great forwards in front of the best goaltender in the world (my opinion), Jonathan Quick, probably doesn't make them any worse of a team either. LA is clearly the best out of the 4 remaining teams right now.
As long as NYR doesn't win I don't care. I fucking hate their shot blocking style, it's worse than NJ's trap in the 90's. |
8bit
05.16.12 | It is pretty annoying, all their defencemen just block everything, 25 shots last game or something.. insane. LA will definitely win the cup no matter who they play from the east, neither team can match their depth, all LA needs to pick up in the off-season is Ryan Suter and they'll be a force in my opinion. On an off the ice note, if NYR and LA play in the finals, rating will go through the roof, Gary Bettman will be jacking off 24/7 being stoked on the American market getting noticed and shit. |

05.17.12 | Kovalchuk has such quick hands. Fuck, he's such a good puck handler. |

sportfreunde
05.18.12 | LA is good but Phx isn't a good team and their luck has run out. They've been outplayed in almost every single game, they were bound to lose. So LA beating them like this isn't surprising and doesn't make LA favourites to me.
I think LA will actually have a very tough time against NJ who are similar in terms of being a hard fore-checking team with a tight defence and star fwds. Surprised at how NJ has been able to outplay NYR for most of their series so far |

06.12.12 | no it's 3/3 when it's a major penalty like that. Funny how 1 call can completely change a game, and series. Especially after the missed call right before |
KSK1
06.12.12 | Yeah statistically I guess that's how it works but yeah it's funny to think that the game changed so drastically because of one moment. Also I turned the game on right as the major was happening, what was the missed call? |
KjSwantko
06.12.12 | A king player kinda boarded Gionta or something right before |
KSK1
06.12.12 | Yeah I think they just showed a replay. Didn't look as bad as the Bernier one but still should have been called regardless. |

06.12.12 | Martin Brodeur is old school and fun to watch as a goalie. The dude is a beast! |
KjSwantko
06.12.12 | Pisses me off man. Everyone was excited about a great game 6 & maybe 7 and the refs completely fuck it up. Miss a call, then give a hardly-warranted 5 minute major for boarding. |

06.12.12 | Series is over. But I'm sure Brodeur will be back. |
KSK1
06.12.12 | Yeah I think it's over. |
KjSwantko
06.12.12 | Of course it is over. That ref should get the Conn Smythe |
