Anyone watching the Pen, flyers game three? Tied one all in the first and they look ready to kill each other. Great playoff hockey[/quote]
Best series by far! I’m having more fun watching this than my Bruins.[/quote]

This game is the best yet! Giroux and Voraceck look like twins in the box right now. Pens had better get it together, they look like a mess right now[/quote]

They just cut the lead to one, but I think Flyers win the series. With the way they’re playing, maybe the cup too. Asham will be out the rest of the series most likely.[/quote]

Asham should be done, that some bush league shit. But this has been the most entertaining hockey I have ever seen. I am awestruck, this is insane.

That crosscheck by Asham was horrible. What a dirt bag. typical shit from him. Shanahan will slap him with a suspension for sure.

I believe it was just announced. I think he got one game, however that is from an unreliable source, and I would be surprised it was announced that quickly

It was a five minute major and match penalty. Shanahan will deal with the suspension issue tomorrow.

Damn. Awesome game.

I never would’ve thought Pitt would make it this easy.

I’m hoping they can keep up the intensity through the next series.

Blues fan here. Glad to see them get chippy in game 2. Playoff hockey and college football are miles ahead of any other professional sports in N America. Yes, major college football is a professional sport.

Embarrassing effort by the Pens. Part of me is happy they at least beat some ass, but the other part of me is embarrassed by all of the nonsense.

Half of me says “might as well go out with a bang!”

The other half says “bush league assholes can’t compete in the game so they act like 2 year olds.”

Either way, they’ve earned the spring and summer vacation that will start Wednesday night.

LOL awards:

LOL at Crosby knocking Voracek’s glove away. Way to be classy Sid. Too bad Giroux can’t fight for shit, Sid deserved to get his ass kicked for that.

LOL at Letang “shushing” the Philly crowd after a fight when you’re about to go down 0-3 in the series. I realise that worked for Talbot back in 09 when they won the cup, but I think that was in game 2. You can’t shush the crowd when you’re 60 min away from getting fucking swept, and convincingly at that.

LOL at Asham blindsiding Shenn after he crushes Martin with a gorgeous legal hit. He should get 20 fucking games carried into next season for that shit. Apparently he is picking up Matt Cooke’s slack.

I’m thoroughly disgusted with this team.

Always nice to see a fan who actually acknowledges douchy things his team does. Most are such homers it never occurs their team has done anything wrong. Douchy play has gone back and forth this series, but nice to see someone notice what their team is doing.

Glad to see my Rangers picking up some steam. Sux that Hags got suspended and another player on The Sens who threw an elbow to the head of a Ranger player did not. Also sux alfrederson is out with another concussion.

Did Alfredsson get a concussion? I knew he was supposed to be sitting out tonight, but hadnt heard that.

The pit-philly series is becoming a joke. Worst goaltending of all time (guessing, dont need to check, its that bad).I dont feel like I can blame the Lightnings goaltending for us not making the playoffs this year, anymore.

x2 on the goaltending in the Flyers-Pens series… I guess 13 is the lucky number.

aand I hope the nucks lose and get swept.

Schneider looked good last night, ,like 43 saves? I was hoping he would end up in Tampa next year, but if he steals another game or two, he wont be going anywhere.

yeah I think Luongo is at the tail-end of his career… I think it’d be a good move for the Nucks to hold on to Schneider. Schneider is damn good.

damnit Hawks

What would you like to talk? Perhaps about how bad Crawford has been for the hawks?

I will talk hockey if the Pens win tonight.

Its certainly going to be interesting tonight, I would love to see this series keep going. Dont particularly care for either team, but this has been fun to watch.

no shit. He plays good the whole game, but lets in the two easiest OT goals ever… in consecutive games.

Apologies for abandoning this thread.

The Penguins started winning when I gave myself a four-game suspension for arguing with Flyers fans on the internet.

See you next round.
