my god, just had the flyers the game and cup bettman. jeezus.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Yeah I'm tired of hearing all this bitching.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

You came to the wrong place;)

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Western Conference never bitches.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Do you not realize its playoff time? There will be nothing but bitching and wooing in here :lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Flyers have a PP yet?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

nope. refs dont want them to.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I thought we played a good phsyical first period. If we keep it up and keep making shots on goal I think we'll come through on top here.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Agreed. I have a feeling that not converting on that 5 on 3 will come back to hurt us though. BTW this is some great analysis we're getting between periods here. An update on the Pens-Flyers, followed by a commercial, and then a live look in lol.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Is it 0-0 in the Nashville game?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

The Western Conference doesn't even exist.

I don't even know why I capitalized those two words. Obviously they suck.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

1-0 Preds. Gaustad goal early in the first.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

1-0 Nashville right now.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Western Conference = WC = Water Closet = Toilet?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Yeah just getting one shot off during that 5 on 3 is unacceptable.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I love that the Preds are really taking an interest in getting youth around here involved in hockey. That's the best way to make their fanbase grow over the years and plant hockey here for good.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Was surprised that you guys had the best or one of the best PP's in the league this season. But, it was impressive in that game where you came back from down for against Hawks a week or two ago.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Forgive my newer fan question but why do referees eject players from face-offs? I've never understood and it just seems random to me.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Players cheat on face-offs and sometimes will have an unfair advantage. They get thrown out as a result.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

What would be considered cheating during a face off?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Trying to jump the drop is one of the biggest things I see

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

wings tie it up

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Fuck...yup there's where that 5 on 3 hurts.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Jim Jackson is in rare form tonight, folks.

Jesus...

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

they say radulov was the best player not in the nhl... im not sure how they could say that when legends like Rico Fata are in europe.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Time to make this power play count.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Fata!!!! I wish there was a FOD line

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

We look like shit on the PP right now.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Yeah we do not look like the best PP team in the nation at all. We didn't get off one shot in the entire time.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Millbury:lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

interesting first two periods in pittsburgh...MAF has had some nice saves, so did mr. imonlyafraidofbears.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

What did Mill say/do? I'm stuck listening to the just as laughable Root commentators

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

what he say this time

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Seriously it's time for us to really come through on this one.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

They showed a Flyers penalty where the guy cross checked a Pens 3 times, and thought it was a "weak" call.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

WOOOO!!! Beautiful shot.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

whoa preds score.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

yeah, i'm really sick of nbc

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Holy shit-balls. Nice deflection.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

pens do get all the calls though.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Jagr literally just saw the game pass him by.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

im sure that was crosby diving.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

i thought i just hear them say "he blocks a bear." :lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

haha thought i heard the same thing

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

The Predators have been unbelievably lucky thus far in this game. Both goals have been ridiculous and the officiating is completely one-sided. The hockey gods clearly want Nashville to win this game.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

ughhh so close ... who shot that staal?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

yea that was staal. closeee

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Fleury is saving the Pens

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

That's what great goalies do.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I'll give you the goals, but the officiating has been fine. 6-4 in Nashville's favor, but I'm not sure if you watched the first half. Detroit was so much slower/flatter than Nashville in the first period that they had to commit penalties to prevent easy goals.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Sid in a headlock. No call.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

fuck. damnit

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

flyers are going to win this game

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Why do we suck with a lead?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I have to disagree 100% on officiating. These teams average like 4 minutes a piece per game in penalty minutes and through 2 periods there have been, what, 11 penalties called? That is insane. The refs have taken this game and ruined any sort of momentum either team has had. There have been a couple absolutely legitimate calls made, but the majority of calls are awful. Let the guys play!

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

here comes the tie game

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

fleury has been insane tonight, and letang is playing out of his mind. that being said...holy fuck where is the rest of the team lately

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Dear Disco,

Your team is allowed to play defense and slow the game down when they have a lead.

Sincerely,

All of Pittsburgh

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

The Flyers need to treat the 1st period like its the 2nd

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

That looked like a pretty good hit but I am watching a shitty stream so maybe not. I'd say Pitt had done a pretty good job of shutting down the Flyers since Philly scored their 1st goal but then Briere fires in a goal out of nothing and makes it close. Exciting hockey game, though. A lot of end to end action.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Pretty clear interference, IMO. They missed one at the other end though.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

it seriously look like our defensive powerplay gameplan is skate around and look confused as fuck. it's been that way the past ten games or so.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

yayyyyyy

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Fuck this.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I'll agree that the calls are pretty touchy, but it's both ways. Neither team is getting a distinct advantage or disadvantage bc of the refs. That was my point. I guess I worded it wrong when I said the officiating was fine - I just meant it was unbiased. I wish they would let them play more too.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

That is fucking gorgeous and a great display of skill by Schenn. Difference in this game is special teams, IMO.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Clear cross check missed.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

This Pens/Flyers game is great.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Unfuckingbelievable!

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Special Teams was the bane of the Pens existence in the post season last year. Story of this game right now.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I love the playoffs

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Penguins :lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

this team is a joke

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

This team is fucked! ;)

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I agree that the majority of calls have been bullshit but I don't think it's been one sided. 6 PP's for Nashville and 5 now for Detroit

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

we can't even pass the puck to each other.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Do Pens fans normally bitch this much? I haven't been around that long evidently.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Hoping for some OT now.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

It's what we do.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Pittsburgh fans are the Vancouver fans of the East when it comes to bitching about officiating.

Ok, that's a bit harsh, Vancouver fans are in a league of their own when it comes to that.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Go Preds!!!

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Pens fans are the worst

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Holy PEKKA!

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Holy shit what a block by Rinne there.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Pens/Flyers into OT

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

why is this happening?!?!?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

who didnt see that shit coming.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I wish there was a way for Detroit and Nashville to both lose this series.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

hey, at least we got a point....oh wait.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Hardy har har ;)

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

fixed...

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:lol @ the idea that this Pens/Flyers series might fall flat. The uptempo game that these teams play is just so fun to watch.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Hartnell in ot. Book it.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

It's got to be Talbot or Jagr.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Simmonds!!! For irony's sake!

fuck i wasted my 9000th post on a black hockey player. hes definitely going to score it now :lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Read my hockey predictions at www.aeroshady.blogspot.com

Great first game so far. Hope it stays this close all series long! Not sure who I want to pull out the win over seven games though!

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I think it'll be Neal from Malkin.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Wow huge block by Preds defender in front of Rinne to keep the lead. Some crazy plays in front of the Nashville net this period.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I hate this.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Stall in ot
