Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I must have missed something... down 6-3 in a hockey game and it's all of a sudden a problem to put in your checking line? How dare Dan Bylsma... That hit by Vitale was 100% clean too, what a bastard.

And I didn't see this posted on here, but I couldn't stop laughing when I saw this.....

The people our age never quit on the Pens. We were the standing in line to get student rush tickets when the team was shit. The bandwagon Pens fans are the older generation. Unfortunately, those are the only people who can afford to go to games, which has hurt the atmosphere in the building.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:lol Holy shit that sign is hilarious. I was at the game and I saw him talking to some girls during warm ups, obviously he thought the sign was funny too.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

dont forget clogged arteries from all those cheesesteaks.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Pittsburgh literally built the nation into what it is today. We also have more rivers.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I'm also going to steal that and put it in the Bruins thread if you don't mind.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

That sign is a photoshop.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Aww damn that's disappointing. But now that I really look at it it's pretty obvious.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

and the ketchup that is so vital to their cheesesteaks.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

its funny, because the flyers had Rinaldo out there at the same time.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Who's talking about cheesesteaks? I'm referring to Butcher & Singer, Le Bec Fin, Barclay Prime, Morimoto, Fountain, Vetri, Buddakan, and countless other fine dining establishments.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Has this thread really turned into a which city is better argument?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Sounds like an STD. I'll take Eat'N'Park over all those places.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

No argument. Pittsburgh is clearly better.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

nobody cares.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Once the dumbass Rocky argument comes up, it's on. :violent




:lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Rocky isn't even that good.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Shhh don't ruin it for me...

Right? My favorite argument I've seen all day was the "How dare Asham go after Schenn?!?!!!?!" Dude cross-checked Crosby after a goal, time to man up... he had to know that eventually he was going to get his, and this was that opportunity. That's how hockey is.

....Damn that Aaron Asham....

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Stop making sense. Schenn was just showing the world what a pussy Sid is.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

what a tool bag.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

If Rinaldo would have went after Malkin for cheap shotting Giroux Pens fans would have had the same reaction.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Pens play the game the right way, so that would never happen.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

How to play the game the right way.

Epic. Epic. Epic.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Cooke has 30 minutes in penalties this year. Judging the guy on his past is just dumb.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

he was dirty, but at least the pens sat him down and got him to change his ways.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

So numerous cheap shots and injuries caused go away because of newfound discipline? Come on now. I'll be the first to admit that Cooke is better now, but that doesnt negate years of being a scumbag.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

It's a shame he ended a guy's career before he changed.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

fixed ;)

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

it is, the same can be said for players like bertuzzi and mcsorley though.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Cooke should be what all NHL players should aspire to be. He'd have a statue if he played in Philly.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Yea, that's not true. A friend went to Pitt and we would go to games when I would visit. Don't kid yourself. No one was buying tickets to the games....even the student discounted games.

Why comment on a game you didn't watch? Rinaldo was NOT on the ice for that shift

Please Stop. They are baiting you and you sound incredibly stupid for taking them seriously.

At the end of the day, there is nothing that either Flyers fans or Pens fans should complain about today. Both teams had some plays that were a little on the dirty side.

It's going to be a fun first round....

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

i did watch, got bad info from a pens beat writers tweet, he was mistaken and has since said rinaldo wasnt on the ice. my apologies.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

From an entertainment perspective, a first round match up with the Pens is going to be glorious.

The problem is that I don't think that the winner will emerge with enough healthy bodies to have a legit shot at the Cup

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

i can agree with this, its going to be a war, that in the end, no matter who wins, that team is going to have a tough time in round two. its a shame, because imo, these two are probably the best two in the conference.

also, im not sure home ice is going to matter much. the pens cant beat the flyers in their own house, and the flyers struggle at home.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Flyers haven't played defense well enough all year to be considered top two in the east.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

O.K..........

I still think that the NYR are the best. #2 is a toss up between the Pens and the Flyers IMO

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

The East is a 4 horse race imo. Rangers, Bruins, Penguins, Flyers. The Devils could be dangerous as well.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I'd put the Bruins above the Flyers. But I may be biased in that assessment. :lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I really hope no one on the Bruins or Rangers gets hurt tonight. This game should be pretty physical.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Me counting the Bruins out usually works out well for you

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Very true you had a pretty epic post when they were down 0-2 to the Habs last year.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Mind yourself. Thanks.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Rangers with a perfect start so far.

I agree that's its four teams ( rangers, Pitt, Philly, bruins) with the devils as a threat. It will be interesting to see if any team bucks the trend of the regular season in a playoff series. Rangers own Philly, Boston. Philly handles Pitt.

I think bryzgalov coming back will be interesting to watch as it will have been a while since he last played and was finally heating up.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:lol:lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:lol

My bad. Keep posting. I don't want to prevent you from making your final argument as to why Philly is a better city than Pitt...

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I hate pointless arguments by dumb people and hate the fact that shit gets blown out of water because its between Philly and Pit. Both clubs are playing phenomenal hockey down the home stretch of the regular season and will be a tough out for anyone, even after the winner survives what is looking to be a war of a first round series. I respect Pit fans and Philly fans for the most part, but today has been nothing but a joke from people on both sides.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Maybe you're team should act like a bunch of assholes and we wouldn't have these issues.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:lol Holier than thou fans, on both sides, are the worst. Nothing wrong with having some team/city rivalry fun.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Hey look this thread sucks now

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Its not fun and I'm not trying to be holier than thou, but you come in and act like a jackass over nothing. You are being the Brohan of the Flyers.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Hawks and Minnesota has been very entertaining so far

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I think the Hawks are their worst enemy right now. When on their game they are pretty unstoppable, even without Toews right now.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Flyer fans have a lot in common with Brohan.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

You are no better. But I'm done putting my two sense in this nonsense.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Hawk defense is suspect. PK could do them in during playoffs.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread

At least we won't have to play Nashville.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I really hope Shaw didn't just break his hand, the way he was trying to shake it out...

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Solid win. Locked up the 2 seed so now we can give Thomas some rest during the last week.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Crosby is a fuckin' joke. Goes around slashing people all day and then whines when he gets crosscheck. Grow up, golden boy.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I also have no problem with the hit on Briere. 100% clean. Don't think it was a problem that Pens put out their checking line either, I guess. But the fact that they didn't play for 12 minutes is a bit odd--plus, you just knew they were looking to stir the pot. The Briere hit just happened to be the catalyst for it. Oh well.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:lol

oh, ants

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

What do you mean?

Did you watch the game? He got away with at least three to four slashes today. It was criminal. Not to mention he took a run at Schenn which precipitated the crosscheck.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Philly gets a different broadcast than the rest of the world. Only explanation for their views on the game.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Crosby does do a lot of shit like slash and stir shit up after plays from time to time. I don't see how Pens fans don't notice this.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Don't even start with your terrible announcers. Christ almighty...

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Sid and Malkin are the two best in the game. Haters gonna hate no matter what they do.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Yes they are, I don't think anyone in their mind can deny that. But they better be able take what they dish out.

Seriously, Crosby went on for a good ten minutes about a fuckin' cross-check. Just deal with it.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

If Crosby doesn't do anything he's a pussy. If he does something he's a pussy.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

It's more of a if you're gonna do shit don't cry about it. That's what people don't like about Crosby.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Dude came back to play the last period with a sprained MCL. I don't think you can call him a pussy. All I ask is for him to shut his damn mouth and not constantly complain to the officials--or if he's going to slash, take runs at someone, to at least properly defend himself for repercussions.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I find it funny that all Pittsburgh wants to whine about is the semi-cross-check on Crosby ( which he helped embellish ) but they don't say anything about crosby hitting Schenn (with no puck around) 5 sec before that

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Semi Cross Check. Jesus.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

it was a love tap compared to most cross checking penalties called

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Bobby Clarke would have broke the stick with his back.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Just like Crosby breaking his stick when he slashed Voracek across the thighs .... but apparently that's not a penalty

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

All hockey players in all games get away with stuff. Star players and non star players. Go Flyers.

lollertastic.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I wonder about this myself. Briere does this as well but Flyers fans freely acknowledge it....

Yup

Does this mean we are going to bring back Cindy Crybaby for Round 1? :bounce

I don't get it at all. It was a hard-nosed game the whole afternoon. In the context of the game, there really wasn't anything that really upset me. I just don't understand how some Pens fans refuse to acknowledge that their players contributed anything to the final scrum of the game.

In all seriousness, how great was Hartnell taunting the Hulk wannabe?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I'm just really excited we get to see another Flyers-Pens playoff series.

The animosity between posters is what makes this thread so great. I love you all.

Except Joe.

I really hate Joe now--again.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I see Sid doing it, just like all the stars do. That's why I don't have a problem with it. Don't see the Pens as a whole acting like the Flyers.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Pens are rattled.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I guess this is what I don't understand. If you point to an incident in the game today that a Flyers play did I'm pretty sure I'd be able to point to the exact same thing that a Pens player did at some other point in the game.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Wish the rangers clinched tonight. Oh well.

As for pens flyers, I'll be rooting for seven games, but I'll also be watching. Pens I think are just the more talented team on the ice but the flyers have shown their first line is as potent as any this year and have gotten so much play from rookies who have shown they aren't going to shy away in crunch time.

I think the difference will be of bryzgalov comes back like the guy he was in march or if he ends up lost in the woods like november-February.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Did you see Byslma break a stick and climb around the bench partition?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Weren't we talking about players? I assume you agree with my original comment since you weren't able to cite an example that happened on the ice...

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I really don't keep a running diary of the Flyers goonery.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Bigger than the Bible.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Like I said, if you respond to the Flyers you stoop to their level. If you ignore them, they call you a pussy. Only way to shut them up is to beat them in the playoffs, which someone has managed to do for 37 years.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I remember when the Flyers passionate fans almost caused the Flyers to go bankrupt and head to Las Vegas

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

The Kansas City Penguins has a nice ring to it when you say it out loud.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Dont fault the penguins for having a shitty owner that ran the team into the ground. It had nothing to do with fans. Btw, just about everyone, giroux included whines to the refs, but only crosby gets that rep. Its retardly dumb.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Pens have filed for bankruptcy twice. Flyer fans cannot even talk shit correctly.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Somehow i think both times were matt cookes fault.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Crosby cried to the judge to make sure the team stayed. Malkin may have slew footed someone too.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

And then Uncle Gary rigged the draft

Look at me I am going to bitch about a team being a bunch of goons when in all honesty I have only seen maybe 2 of their games all season.

/pens argument

The Flyers reputation is far exceeding them here this year.
