Who cares? If it brings new fans to the game, I'm all for it.

Even if 90% of them walk away from this game and nothing changes as far as their care for the game, if those 10% are turned on to the game, it's a good thing.

If everyone had that mentality, hockey would never leave the cold areas. Growth of the sport happens from stuff like this. It's a good thing.

Devils announcers are awful. Twice in this OT one has admitted that he didn't know why play was stopped, and also commented that one face off was in Devils territory because of a two-line pass. :ugh

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

I'm all for the sport growing.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

This is the best game of the first round.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Twice I heard him mention a 2 line pass, it's kind of unbelievable that he wouldn't know they removed that rule :lol

I don't always watch hockey but this panthers game is intense! Really enjoying this

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Absolutely. Let the "posers" come, maybe some of them fall in love with the sport. Nothin' wrong with that.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:thumbsup:thumbsup Enjoy it! Hockey's the greatest.

Chico Resche is garbage. Just plain horrible.

John Madden's face makes me proud to be a hockey fan.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

So who takes this in 2OT?

Damnit, oh well...good run by the Panthers...

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Damn I was hoping panthers would win, great game though

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Wow. Well at least one of the devils and flyers won't advance. I expect a hell of a series from the capitals but it's all wide open.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Too bad I guess. Kovalchuk's first series win right?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Just saw a good point tweeted. First time in 11 year career that Kovalchuk will advance to a second round matchup

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Apparently Marty Brodeur can still be pretty damn good sometimes. Impressive performance.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
