It's a hockey night in Pittsburgh!

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Millbury just kissed the Pens ass. WTF was that about?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

He doesn't want Pens fans whining and trying to get him fired if he says something bad about them again.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

He should have been fired. How would you have felt if he made light of Horton or Savard and their concussion problem?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

and so......IT BEGINS.

Fuck you all.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I wouldn't have liked it. But I wouldn't have called for him to be fired, especially if they were out there trying to stir shit up and then bitching to the refs about it.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

of course the game is blacked out if you have directv in comcast country. fuck you flyers.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

How is that possible? I'd blow a fucking gasket on someone.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

its always like this. i had to watch choppy feeds back in 09 of the first round. it makes me so mad i could break a stick over the glass.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I don't get how they can dictate what DirecTV can show on their airwaves? Did you try and call them?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Comcast owns NBC.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

ya but they wont fix it. i think its because the game is shown on comcast here in sj/philly. it sucks bigggg time.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Let's go!

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I've never been there, but I hate the new building. It's a disgrace that there are empty seats when the puck drops.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Fucking Crosby. It HAD to be you.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Let's worry about hitting Crosby and not clearing the puck. Fuck

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Fantasy! :)


Anyone know why someone with Comcast digital cable would have paid programming on over the game on NBC sports?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I have Direct TV here in Tennessee and can't find the Pens/Flyers game anywhere. Very frustrating.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Why would Comcast fuck themselves in the ratings by blacking games out? They'd have to convert a lot of people over to make it worth their while.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

whoaa what a nice one by tk

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Niiiiice!!! Let's try to hold on to the lead this time!!

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I'd call Comcast just to yell at someone if the game wasn't on DirecTV.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I have internet through Comcast and I feel like I'm yelling at them every week anyway. Seriously the shittiest company ever.

Oh thank god the local channel is carrying it. CNBC fucking just about gave me a heart attack.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I live in jersey. I have directv and get the game. My next door neighbor has Comcast and doesn't get the game. So fucking stupid.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I hate watching this on Root

Me too, try watching a whole season.

Here we go

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Any links online for the game?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

So even Pens fans hate it? :lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Is the DET-NSH game even on CNBC? I know they said every game would be broadcasted but when I checked earlier on my cable it didn't have it listed...

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

It's on for me.

excellent 1st for the pens. dont let up. keep banging.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Bears. They can smell the menstruation.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

how was that not icing?!?!?

Holy. Fuckin'. Shit.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

First goal he really had no chance. Grossmann blocks the shot, it gets stuck under him and Crosby is right there.

Second goal his D completely leaves him out to dry.

Third goal was a blown/waved off icing call. Bullshit.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

preds score

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Now that's what I'm talking about!!!

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Its not icing because its in Pitt

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Flyers vs pens made the ny times today. article=Nothing us ants probably don't already know.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

There you go Gaustad.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

icing. oh boy. and the pens are the whiners.

Thank you very much.

As bad as Philly was there in the first, this is kind of the way the flyers have played all year. Next goal will be a huge one. If Philly gets it, they will definitely make this a game.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

The first period is a great example of why we shouldn't even have playoffs.

Just like seriously, come on NHL, just give the Stanley Cup to Pittsburgh already. Stop wasting our time.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

It probably was icing.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

F on the refs for goal 3

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I agree with this, mostly. The first goal it just seems like Grossman and Coburn (I think?) were focused more on disrupting Crosby than playing the puck and Crosby will own you if you give him that window

Second goal, he still should have stopped, but yea the D was horrible, it was a 2 on 1 that turned into a late 2v2 and who ever was the second tried to double team the dude with the puck leaving TK open to get the pass.

Third was bullshit and lucky as fuck if you ignore the no icing.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Honestly, I mean honestly, look at that replay and tell me with a straight face that Coburn doesn't touch that puck.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Pens in 4.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Pens win the cup or Scott Hall dies, which comes first?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

hey im not saying it was or wasnt. but the refs let them play the entire period.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Yeah penalty wise, which is fine. I agree.

But not missing a completely obvious icing call.
But you're a Pens fan so I guess you win every single hockey argument.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

How a flyer fan can point to the refs after that is beyond me. Wtf is grossman doing there? Puck hits him, falls to his feet, yet he tries to playt the opponent rather than the puck?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I missed it, so I have no opinion.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Borque definitely held up. Good call.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Yeah "letting them play" normally doesn't refer to calls like icing or off sides.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

take it easy. watching the replay, the ref wasnt even in position yet.

It was most likely waived off for a reason...

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

It was a bad call to wave it off.

Okay, I didn't get a great look and they're obviously not going to show that in replays.

At any rate, this game has nothing to do wih the refs and everything to do with the penguins taking it to the flyers 100%.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Kind of worried where the Flyers will try to take the game down big early.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I agree, but that was definitely a bad call. Should probably be 2-0 but regardless the Flyers need to step it up big time if they want to get back in this game.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Play until you hear a whistle. Was it a blown call? Waived off when it shouldn't be? Maybe but you play until you hear a whistle. I guess he missed that particular lesson on day 1.

I bet they will. They've done this all year. They've trailed after the first ten minutes an ABSURD amount of times since jan 1. and still won games. They don't like making it easier on themselves, that's for sure.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

He didn't stop playing.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Icing was waived off TSN replay just showed it.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Certainly it was a flukey goal and I didn't see the Pittsburgh "domination" in that period really. Certainly the Pens were the better team but it's not 3-0 + a bunch of outstanding saves by Bryz. They took advantage of their best chances but it wasn't totally one-sided. Fascinating period but not a ton of A+ chances for either team.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

No? He sure as fuck didn't continue to play the puck

The flyers just never got set up in the offensive zone. Neither team really did but the pens speed was a huge difference.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

He played the man. It wasn't a good play but it's not like he just turned to the refs with his palms in the air.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Refs fault for not being in a position to see it as icing is why I pointed to them

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

5 on 3 baby. Make it count.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

flyers are going to win.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Bad call or not, the Flyers still got outplayed that period and deserve to be trailing. I will not count them out yet given their talented scorers and OMGCG! Though Bobrovsky should start the second. To hell with Bryz's confidence. (Though for all I care, Bryz can play the whole series!)

Edit: Well shit. That play was just a bit offsides, so there you go.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Good PK by Flyers seems to have swung momentum a bit. Awesome save on Hartnell by Fleury before that Briere goal.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

At least its not a shutout, whew!

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Of course Root makes a big to do about the close offsides there and not the icing. Do they realize how quick the play is

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Man, Fleury bailed em out once with a horrible turnover. They can't expect him to do it three times in a row. Horrible turnovers, gotta play smarter than that when you're up by 3.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

We're all squared up now, baby.

Continue.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

sounds like flyers fans making a big to do about the icing. you realize how quick the play was?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

way offsides. whoa. wtf refs how the fuck could you

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

That was an awful call. I know that's the most stereotypical Pens fan statement ever.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Ok, you guys are even. Enough with the ref complaints.
