That's what I meant. :D

BTW not that anyone cares but i am rooting for Detroit because of Earl,and i am also cheering for Earl to over come all the shit in his life,no one deserves what he has gone though.

I used to think Babcock was an arrogant assaholic but after watching the piece on hockey night in Canada with him and Earl it has changed my mind.

You have insider scoop that Crosby will be back??

The realist in me say if the Pens win tonight, they'll need Crosby back to have any shot against Washington or Philly.

And the true reason anyone should be rooting for the Pens is you'll get to have more Matt Cooke in your life next round :)

Is it just me or does it seem like Jason Pominville is always out for months at a time when he gets hurt? It seems like the guy is never healthy, especially at the start of season.

Go Lightning!

I care, bbor! If you want, I will send you my old Petr Kilma Wings jersey so you can represent!

I saw that piece on Babcock. Great stuff.

Die in an octopus fire.

By the way, not to take sides, but the idea that it's classless for teams to pull their goalie on a delayed call late in the game is Milbury-level ludicrous.

Hm, guess I kind of did take sides there.

WHOA!

Bad enough the guy is clearly wrong, no need to call him Milbury-esqe

He is the 2nd coming of Connelly.

No jersey...but i could use the extra hair.

I wish I did. Knowing the NHL and NBC, they'll do whatever they can to get him back. :)



But he actually can contribute when he returns.

Anyone see that classless shit the Lightning did on Saturday? They were up 7-0 and they had the nerve to win a faceoff.

Yes. i COULDNT believe that shit. "typical" FUCKING Dominic Moore crap.

Grow some fucking HUMILITY, moore.

So the only good thing to come out of the Sabres losing:

My facebook post today:
"YEAH!!! So if you were wondering why I changed my profile pic to my favorite Upper Deck Sabres card it's because Upper Deck was running a contest on facebook and as it turns out... I WON!!! WOOHOO! Will post the loot when it gets here!"

YEAH!!!! There was a contest for each series and I won the Sabres drawing so I think I get all 10 cards (all patches/jersey/autographs) :D

Except Tim is now off our books :)

I wouldn't put money on that.


Forgot to post it yesterday, but I was listening to the local radio pre-game 7 and some guy called in and said that the Sabres should be killing the Flyers because they beat them 9-3 in a pre-season. He was dead serious and went on about it with the radio hosts. The radio hosts said that it was the first time in his career that someone actually called in and said that a hockey team should win based on a pre-season game.

The one thing that was missing is the guy is an incredible penalty killer and a contributor on the power play. If he wasn't getting $5 million a year and in the $3-$4 million per year range, it would be easier not to be as critical on him as we are.

Good game in Boston-Montreal. Come on Habs! (Even though Boston-Philly would be a great series to watch.)

Arrrrghghghghghghg.. Stupid penalty, combined with what LOOKED like a soccer-like oversell, you could see it coming.

I give the bruins like a 1/3 chance of winning in OT.

This Bruins team is horrible. They deserve to lose this game. Seriously...brutal.

The lesson as always, I'm an idiot.

But I don't care.

BRUINS WIN! WOOOHOO!

Thank fuck the Habs lost....anyone but the Habs.

6 million dollar Gomez has'nt scored since February...wtf?

I don't understand the idea behind a whiteout now. Wouldn't you want a blackout?

So it is:
Eastern
1) Washington vs. 5) Tampa Bay
2) Philadelphia vs. 3) Boston

Western
1) Vancouver vs. 5) Nashville
2) San Jose vs. 3) Detroit

I'm not saying. I'm just saying.

Fun run while it lasted. Stings right now, but I feel really good with a healthy Crosby and Malkin next year.

Kudos! You really went out on a limb on those picks Barack! Going chalk with the top three seeds in each conference and your only upsets being 5 seeds over 4 seeds when one four seed was without it's two best players and the other without it's starting goalie.

What happened in the first round was exactly what was supposed to happen and I think all 8 favourites won.

Nice of Nathan Horton to bail out Patrice Bergeron there with the GWG in OT. Bruins-Flyers meet again for the 2nd year in a row. Series begins Saturday afternoon.

The "high sticking" penalty was stupid, but it was a complete flop, a soccer-like oversell (the guy flinched like it hit him in the face, but it didn't even come close)

I hate the Pens, but kudos to taking that series 7 games without your two biggest stars. You will be back next year.

Stingy fucker Roloson. Keeping all the pucks for himself, that's not playing well with others.

Not sure what your point is exactly. What would you be saying if he picked all underdogs?

Someone is a sore loser.

And yes, teams ALWAYS pull their goalie on a delayed penalty. It has nothing to do with the score, whom they are playing, or the color of your grandmother's socks. Do you expect them to stop playing because they have a big lead?

C'mon RendeR, you should know better.

I don't have any particular love or hate for the Habs, but this information about Scott Fucking Gomez makes me giddy. :)

the fuck is wrong with you

Is this Gomez in the forefront?

Not sure. Assholes all look the same!

nightmare fuel

I watched MON/BOS while keeping up a conversation with my friend, who was pulling for the Bruins at least as hard as I was pulling for the Habs. The funniest thing about our conversation was his reaction to the Plekanec breakaway: "Gross."

Also, he said after the game that Subban really impressed him. ...In the offensive zone, maybe, but we were all watching him and Gill struggle to clear the puck on at least 2 Bruin goals, no? Relatedly, come on, Gionta/Gomez! -3? Really? You weren't playing offense _or_ defense, apparently.

I sat in front of a guy who had a pure hatred for everything Kris Letang did. I am not a Pens fan by any means, but I was about to turn around and strangle him. All he did was "Boo" Letang everytime he had the puck and cheer everytime he went for a line change cause he was a "worthless bum who should be traded". This guy is one of the top 10 to 15 defensemen in the league and you can't appreciate it? Wow!

Did he score last night? NO! Therefore, he stinks!!

DOLA

Anyone like Kelly Chase on 'On The Fly'? I find him really irritating.

I kind of like Mike Johnson, and Brad May was pretty good the couple times he was on.

He said last night he had a problem with Subban gesturing to the Boston crowd after his PP goal under 2:00 left (gesture as in kind of held his hand to his ear, not a Ference gesture).

"He needs to keep his emotions in check...and it got the better of him. He was on the ice for the game winner against in OT...the hockey gods didn't like what he did"

WHAT?

If they wanted idiotic commentary, just pipe in more Paul Steigerwald.

Why do so many fans hate PK Subban? His flop last night is a good example:

I liked PK Subban. I think he's an exciting, dynamic player. He may have some maturity issues and what not, but I think he's a great player for the sport and I love watching him play.

While not a Penguins fan, I was very impressed how well they played all season and in the first round without Crosby and Malkin. If they can maintain that style of play and discipline when those two get back, they will be a very formidable team.

Sometimes I forget that Scott Gomez is even on the Canadiens. I have the same problem with Marian Gaborik and the Rangers. I will be watching a Rangers game and sometime in the third period I will go, "Oh yeah, that's right, they have Gaborik."

Dr. Sak's Letang "fan" reminded me of a guy who sat in front of me at Joe Louis arena back in the first round of the 1997 playoffs. It was Detroit-St. Louis, Game 5. The series was tied 2-2. The entire game the guy kept complaining about how the Wings had too many Russians and how horrible they were. He'd boo each time any of the five touched the puck. He wouldn't even stand up and cheer if a Russian scored. So irritating.

That's ugly.

I think even Marian Gaborik sometimes forgets he's with the Rangers too. Case in point the OT winner he assisted on in Game 4.

Oh well, next year the Rangers will be a distant memory as I cheer for the Jets :)

I would have picked more underdogs, but sadly I am morally bound to go for 8-for-8 every year.

Yeah just let Carman ignore FOFC history.
