we've given up 5 PP's and a SH goal.
no team wins games with numbers like that

Re: The NHL Thread
 

And that should do it, folks.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

game overrrrrr

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I actually turned the game off after the second period. I have an exam that is more important to focus on. That said, if Hank is out for the rest of the series the Rangers are done. Looks like we may just be stopping by the playoffs for a short visit after all.

In all reality though, did anyone else watch that game and think "man, neither of these teams is going to win the cup."

Re: The NHL Thread
 

no, not really

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Really, I thought both teams looked pretty lousy compared to other teams in the NHL.

I also find it interesting that for two people that root for the same team, we view games very differently.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Penguins are literally firing on all cylinders.
They're beating us +3 with a 3rd string goalie and no Malkin

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Both teams started out a bit slow. I'm not going to make big sweeping judgments about either of them. The Rags looked good for a lot of this game. I think it'll still be a tough series. Though if Hank's eye is royally fucked up...

Re: The NHL Thread
 

This whole fucking game someone has been shorthanded. Jesus Christ enough with the penalties.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I mean, it's the first game of the first round of the playoffs. They usually end up being a little sloppy.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

No offense to us, but we are a pretty weak opponent compared to team the Penguins will have to beat to win the cup. That was my point. I like a few teams in the east over the Pens, but I really like most of the west over them. I was disappointed in the playoff hockey in the first two periods.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Holy shit some debbie downers in this thread.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Fair enough. I guess it is easy to be impatient when you have waited a year for high quality hockey.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Pens fans will be here shortly haha

Did all of you complain when there wasn't a BMW parked in the driveway on your 16th birthday, too?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Horny Hatty!!!

See yinz Saturday

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol I know. Just remember the great games usually start around game 3. Game 1 is usually sloppy for everyone. Adrenaline is pumping, butterflies, etc. as well as both teams feeling each other out a lot. So much gamesmanship going on in game 1.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:thumbsup The Rags were out shooting the Pens most of the game, had good pressure, hit a goal post. But unfortunately for them, the mistakes they did make were very costly and the Pens capitalized on every one. And Zatkoff stood very tall.

Looking forward to Saturday!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yup!

Anyway, if Hank is back, we are winning game 2! If not, Pens in 3.

If you needed a reason to hate the Blues, they're playing We Built This City on Rock and Roll.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yeeeesh. Haven't we done this enough the past few years?

God the Blues are boring.

Playoff OT is so amazing when your team isn't in it.
