seriously, he is insane. and even better we get to face Hank on Thursday.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I think we have looked better tonight....I feel we just can't score

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Posting from the game right now!!! Loving it.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Another 2 points for the NYR, Great thanks to the King.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Hawks have outplayed Nashville for the most part, and can win this game. If they lose this my finger is going to be on the panic button.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I really don't think the bruins played that bad today. Rangers made them pay for a couple mistakes and Henrik had an amazing game.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Rinne will not blow this lead

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Wow. 9 point lead in the east. Honestly never thought I'd read those words.

What can you say about how hank has been this year? Insane.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I'll be too busy crying to have my finger on any button.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

They actually played really well, and we still can't win. I'm going to get drunk.

Most brutal loss of the streak. Clearly outplayed Nashville. Can't just get one big fucking save at the right time, or we get perfect deflections that find the net. Just unbelievably brutal. 32 shots to 19. Team had a ton of jump, looked desperate, but can't catch a break.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

At least we get to go to New York on Thursday.

I haven't been this depressed from a sports team in a long long long time

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Yup! I love hearing stories from him. He is my moms father

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

This team is poorly coached and poorly constructed. Stan Bowman has massively underwhelmed as GM of this team and had no business being named GM in the first place. Tallon's Panthers have as many points as this team. Why was Tallon fired? Mainly for mis-managing the cap. Who was the capologist for him? Stan Bowman. Say what you want about Tallon but the players loved playing for them and he was their guy. Bowman is a joke and was nowhere near qualified to be GM of a team when he took over.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

just stop. this does not fall on the GM. So foolish. they were first in the league going into this losing streak, and that's not by chance or overachievement. Tallon is the reason we don't have Versteeg, Ladd, and someone else still on this team.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

They were first in the league due to a home heavy schedule. Did they really look that impressive from October-January? I can think of maybe 2-3 games they really looked great, the Vancouver road win in November, St. Louis road win in early December. The goal differential and goals-against per game really tell the story.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Game was awesome to be at. Although I can tell that many people in here aren't too happy with the result.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Ehhhhhhhhh

Just not a fan of JVR.

To the bolded: did you actual read Kimmo's comments?

Below are some quotes from the interview:

"Well obviously they got three [power play] goals, so it was huge. We were disappointed with the effort actually. The emotional level, playing against the top team in the conference...league...to be honest I think we got half the guys going half the guys not."

"Well it comes down to effort and talent and...everything. I don't think there's much of a skill level difference from the bottom team to the top team. It comes down to the system, how you execute the system, how do you play every night. Sometime you go up and down and then you lose games and that's not the way the championship teams play."

So is Kimmo lying when he comments about the effort and the dedication to playing Peter's system night in and night out?

To your other point, the road to the SCF must go through either Boston or NYR in the East. I don't think the Flyers coud beat either team in a 7 game series this year (even if the Flyers are healthy).

Are you o.k. with the Flyers trading a Read or a Couturier or Schenn to land a big name at the deadline? I'm not...

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Looked like a great atmosphere to be honest

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Great response by the Wings fans at the end of the game. Also cool for the Wings to salute the fans. Don't see that in a reg. season game too often. Suck Joey couldn't get the SO.

Last time DMB released an album the Pens won the cup that year. #justsayin

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

We can also go back further if you want. Since no season in 2005, 2002 Pens were...not so good and Wings won the Cup. 2001 was ECF's so that's pretty good. 1998 Wings Cup again and Pens were gone in round 1. You know....just saying. :)

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

asterisk, has to be

rangers salute most the time.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I thought so at first too but all 3 were in different eras. Bruins did it with only 10 teams and had overtime and Flyers didn't have OT but only had to deal with 18 teams. Plus yeah there are shootouts but since shootouts have started no other teams have done this either so again all three are completely different in my mind. Flyers is probably the most impressive since no OT.

Rangers should salute their fans every game. To keep showing up after all that money spent with very little results since 97 the team should thank them.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Kudos to you and other Preds fans. By all accounts, the fans there are awesome and really get behind the team, despite it being about as far from a traditional hockey market as you can get. I was reading an interview w/ Mike Fisher-Underwood recently, who was saying how much he loves it there because of the kindness and respect the fans show the players.

Actually being able to live with his hawt wife probably helps him love the city as well... ;)

He'd probably go to Winnipeg for her.:)
