Wow that was a hell of a scrap.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

through TM?

Is other team info posted elsewhere?

I've never done the playoffs, is it by round?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Why the hell is Neal fighting?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Pens have to hold this lead.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Because he's been stirring shit up all night and decided to answer the bell when he got challenged.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Yeaaa crosby

Millbury is rattled.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

The fucking Rags fans sure came out of the woodwork tonight

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

What? The flyers fans cried for two periods then disappeared...

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Pens!!!!

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Poor Vitale....Chara hit him in the face with a wristshot. Hit him below the helmet on the right side of his head/face. He wasn't cut, but went instantly down. I hope he's alright and it's not a broken jaw if it hit him in the wrong place. Don't know how it can't be though based on where it hit him.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Most of us have been here the entire season, just don't post every single game. I remember posting on here the first game of the season when we played in Europe... been here since the beginning :)

Think I'm getting tickets for game 1 of the first series, whether its buffalo or washington it should be a good challenge, hoping we don't have too difficult a time though.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

So the Flyers will win a round or two and then lose to the Rangers. Wonderful. :lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Flyers V. Pens will be an incredible series

:lol I'll sign for this. Though I expect to play the devils in round 2 if we get by buf/wash.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Huge comeback for the sabres tonight. Keeps them alive another day.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Crazy comeback victory for the Sabres over Toronto tonight. @Philly & @Boston to finish the season and Caps have tiebreaker so it's still not looking good for them. Caps the favorite to back slide their way into the playoffs :rolleyes

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Which means the return of Brohan!!

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Down with Brohan!

Do philly or the bruins have anything left to play for?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Philly could go 4-6. Bruins locked in.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I was teasing about the Rags fan comment. I hope they choke before they meet the Flyers in the post season

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Aside from this thread, it did seem like there were tons of ranger fans in wells fargo tonight.

Can't wait for the playoffs. I don't know if my heart can handle it. It's bad enough when you're the underdog but to be the favorite in hockey is a different animal the rangers haven't had the luxury of dealing with in a long. damn. time.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Wait, they won that game?

OMGDR!!!

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Rangers were probably the favorite in '97 or '95. Both times they were knocked out by the Flyers. :lol

And what does that have to do with this season??

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Found this stat interesting

In his 20th game of the season, Crosby has caught Ovechkin at 27 assists each.

:rolleyes

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I know none of you care, but the Sharks came up huge in a battle of a game tonight. Playoff prospects much brighter than they were three days ago. For the first time, I'd like to thank Matt for Galiardi and Winnick, as they both scored tonight — Galiardi's was his first point as a Shark.

OK, you may resume your 24/7 PHI/PIT/NYR discussion.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:lol :lol

Not to mention #9 potted the game-winner in OT.


Also, I would pretty much always be against tanking for seeding. BUT, Philly really should have like rested half the roster or something a few times because 6th place would have given them a 1st-rd matchup against the shitty Panthers.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:lol :lol :lol Jordan Leopold's goal to tie the game. Unbelievable.

Kind of funny story about a local Pittsburgh restaurant and the Flyers. Great ribs there if anyone is ever in town for a show at Star Lake.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Brohan has been around, I just don't post in here anymore. I finally realized unless your a Pens/Flyers/Rags/or Hawks fan this thread is useless. Next year this thread shouldn't be named 'NHL 2012/2013 thread' it should be 'NHL Pens Flyers Rangers Hawks Thread'

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

What team do you support? Sorry, I've just started posting here within the past month since the NFL threads died :lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Bring what you have about your team. I honestly don't watch much western conference hockey. 20 games tops this year. But now that the playoffs are upon us I'll watch every game I can regardless of league.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

NHL playoffs = the best time of the year. christmas ain't got shit on these few weeks

he is a caps fan.

:thumbsup been posting all season, I just don't post that much on this Forum. Anyone who doesn't believe it needs only to check to first few pages of this thread haha.

Go Rangers! I am watching Rangers in 60 right now because I was at the Devils Islanders game tonight.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

It's in West Virginia, so it probably doesn't count.

He is a caps "fan" but in reality he couldn't tell you the difference between a five hole and a glory hole

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

bahahahahahahha you are hilarious....anyway I'll be the one laughing in 2 weeks when the Caps beat Henrik and Torts AGAIN

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:rattle




You probably realized that you should try to know a thing or two about the game of hockey if you want your posts to be taken seriously

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

The way you say this makes you think I care if the Rangers lose? I already stated I hope they choke and losing to the Caps would be the choking I hoped for.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

You should worry about the Caps making the playoffs above OMGDR first.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

OMGDR should have been a Cap at the deadline. But he'll be cheering them on come next week :thumbsup

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

you knew what I meant :lol

and Brohan is a Caps fan? He's more than welcome here :thumbsup

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I know i'm late with this, but:

Congrats to the Danglers, Giroux Grux King and Michaels Monsters.

Once again i finish just that close from winning it all. I now have a second place, third place, and fourth place finish. Better luck next year i guess

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

where's your caps butt buddy MDrums? ;)

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

That was world class embellishment by Letang drawing that 5 on 3 last night.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

if the flyers lose to Buffalo and Pens and Nj wins their last two, they do end up 6 seed.

not sure they would want that, but if they lose thursday, do they go into Saturday with a minor league roster and rest up everyone?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

yup, most definitely. The refs made up for the call later by not calling an instigator penalty on Ference for the Neal fight, IMO.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

It was a meaningless game for the Bruins so I didn't care much but i would have been pissed if that game meant something because that was clearly the turning point of the game. I'm much more concerned about the possible Boychuk injury than the result.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Yeah. I winced way too much for my liking last night between boychuk injury and vitals face-five with the puck

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Just got myself a Giroux pro stock Reebok 11K twig. Should be here in a couple days.

I was the same way when Hank went down late in the third and 'had trouble gripping his stick' from there on out. At least we have a week to rest him.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

^^ You'll be top 250 soon then in your league. Congrats.

Tough first period last night. Expected a loss though. So whatever.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

You've cursed it by announcing it. Hate to say it buddy, but it will break first time using it. ;)

srsly though, let me know how you like it. Been looking at twigs lately too and may upgrade. Being a d-man, I like something stiffer (that's what she said). Took me forever to finally transition over from wood. :lol

EDIT: lol Kev

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

all I have to say...

SABRES!

that game was awesome

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:rattle


but yeah he definitely deserved an award for that. even homer errey said it was an acting job.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Going to be really funny when the Sabers are playing next week and the Caps are dumping everyone from their team.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

that's what she said. (reprise)

Hmmm New Jersey could take over 5th place??

I hope not Id rather see the Pens beat Philly in the playoffs again!!

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

one week...

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Probably not likely. 3 points back and only a possible 4 points. Philly only need a point to clinch 5th.

Getting crazy in the desert. I like how the mayor is bitching about the money. Paying the money kept the team there another year. The team was one day away from being moved back to Winnipeg. If you couldn't afford to pay it you shouldn't have said you'd do it.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Just get them out of there already.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Hey Matt, check this out:

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Hell yeah.

His personality and play reminds me so much of Joe it's crazy. Similar style of play (big game guys, well rounded), similar way they carry themselves on and off the ice. It's unreal.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Tim you remember this one? How fun was this whole game?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

So I was playing Kings tonight and I got the categories card and my category was NHL teams and my first response was the fucking Thrashers. Never have I felt more like an ass than right then

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

ah, kings...i haven't played that game in years, good times good times.

hi boys!

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

So you guys can imagine the shit was saying about halfway through the third last night... but the line of Datsyuk-Franzen-Bertuzzi, along with Howard's first two periods and shootout, saved the day. They had no business winning that. Tonight is huge against the Devils. Go Stars too!

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I'm torn. I want the Flyers to win tonight, obviously. But I want the Sabres to sneak in over the Caps. I also want the Rangers to win tonight. I know. Wtf.

So I guess..... Go Flyers, Go Rangers (ugh.), and Go Panthers.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I think Washington gets in. Honestly it would probably be better for viewing for the Panthers to not get in and the Caps and Sabres to get in. If it's Panthers/Devils it'll end like 2000 when the Devils swept the Panthers. Panthers aren't any good and are really struggling now.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Who cares about viewing? I don't want to see the Caps in the playoffs because then everyone will make a point about Ovechkin still being good.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I don't want the Caps in either but I also don't want to watch the Devils sweep the Panthers.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

The Devils aren't going to sweep the Panthers. The Panthers have been quite consistent all season, despite pundits saying that they'll eventually fall off. Kevin Dineen is a good coach and the team has a good core of players, who want to win.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

They've lost 4 in a row and 7 of 8, and 6 of those 7 are against non-playoff teams. On top of that if shootouts didn't happen they would be 0-4-4 in their last 8. I don't see them staying in the playoffs very long.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

The Panthers are a joke. Would be the worst team to make the playoffs in a long, long time. 18 OTL is how they are going to sneak in? Awful.

That said, I hope they win tonight. I hope Buffalo wins too. I want nothing more than to see a dismantling in Washington. Tear that team apart.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Quite consistent? They have 37 wins :ugh

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

That's what happens when you have a team full of mid-level talent.

The Caps need to be blown up regardless if they get in or not. Backstrom and Ovie are the only two you don't move. Everyone else is available. Obviously some young kids probably aren't going to move but you know what I mean.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I was more than happy to see the Panthers find success early on, but I always kind of had that feeling that it wouldn't last forever. It's great for the organization and fans for them to make the playoffs, but I agree that they won't last long.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Yeah just don't have the talent to go through a whole season. Good for them to make it to the playoffs but if they are gone in 4 or 5 that won't help much. Ask the Thrashers about that one.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I believe in Tallon though. I think he has a plan. They have a ton of guys with expiring contracts, and plenty of cap room. If they can create a buzz, hang on to some guys (Versteeg)...Tallon can keep this thing rolling.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I would rather see the Sabres make it in, simply because I hate the Caps. Although, it would be a nice rematch to take on the Caps again, in reverse seeds. Being from upstate NY most of my friends are Sabres fans so it would be a lot of fun to watch the games with them. No one cares for the Caps.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

and this. I've enjoyed the lack of Ovechkin talk this year.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I agree completely. If all goes right, this is just natural progression. The playoffs are a start, and hopefully from here they can improve and build.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

This was kind of my attitude towards the Avs this year... even if they made it in, they wouldn't last long.
