2011-12 NHL Playoffs LD

[It's Damn Real!]

See what I'm talking about with Crosby now, LSN? Stupid, scumbag shit.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

... and more dirty Penguins plays. Asham.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Match penalty. GUARANTEE you Asham goes before Shanahan for that.

 

[The Bearded One]

This has been such an insane first period. I'm a casual hockey fan, but there are few things in sports better than playoff hockey.

 

[The Bearded One]

That was amazing! What a goal!

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Matty Read! EAT IT, SHITSBURGH!

 

[It's Damn Real!]

1 hour real time later...72 PIM, 6 goals

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Matty Read again! Tremendous pass by Jágr! 5-3!

 

[The Crock]

The PA announcer in Philly reminds me of Muhammad Hassan's theme music (the beginning of it).

 

[hatehabsforever]

Sweet Jesus, can either of those goalies stop anything? 13 goals last game, 9 more already today and there's still 4 minutes left in the second period.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

SIMMONDS! 6-4!

 

[It's Damn Real!]

7-4.

Fleury pulled.

It's fuckin' over, Shitsburgh. Enjoy golf season.

 

[hatehabsforever]

So the Flyers are leading the game by FORE!!!! now.

Gotta love it.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

More and more dirty play.

You finally seeing what I'm talking about here, LSN?

"YOU CAN'T BEAT US!" chant!

 

[It's Damn Real!]

YES! 8-4! TALBO!!!

Pittsburgh has been in self destruct mode this entire series, Fleury playing like absolute shit doesn't really help matters. Philly is gonna have to tighten up their defense & goaltending if they want to survive the next round, you may be able to get away with allowing 4-5 goals to the Pens & still win, but I doubt who ever they see next is gonna let them avg. 6 pts. per game.

...and Vancouver is officially one game away from being swept in the first round

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Gonna be amazing when Pittsburgh and Vancouver—the two whiniest, easiest-to-hate teams in the NHL—both get rocked in the first round... in four games each.

 

[justinsayne]

I love how people whine about a team whining to much. I really hope Pittsburgh is able to pull it together & make some sort of miraculous comeback, & win teh next 4, it's a loooooongshot I know but it would be awesome, & would hopefully shut all the whiny ass haters up.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Because they don't get league-wide preferential treatment?

Because they don't play dirty and then complain and cry when something happens to their own team despite the fact that their two biggest stars (Crosby and Malkin) regularly slew foot opposing players?

Because they don't deserve to be called out on the hypocrisy of this whole situation?

Please. Come up with a real argument if you're going to take such a lightning rod stance.

 

[Davi323]

I gotta admit, for as much as I despise both the Penguins and Flyers, I am probably going to watch the Game 4 on Wednesday. That was an entertaining game to watch yesterday. What was it, 158 combined penalty minutes?

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Great news!

James Neal is scheduled for TWO separate hearings this morning.

Arron Asham will follow up at 11AM.

Both are expected to be suspended, Asham for a long, long time.

...and Vancouver is officially one game away from being swept in the first round

Amen. I've been saying for the last couple of years that Vancouver is overrated. They have good players, no question. But they buy their own hype. When they played the Kings two years ago, they came in thinking they were going to steamroll right over them, yet the Kings won two games. Now fast forward to now, every critic said the Kings had no chance of advancing, and they're in a position to bounce the Canucks in a sweep. Couldn't be any sweeter.

Pretty much prove my point, fans tend to whine about Crosby whining as much if not more than Crosby acutely whines himself. Also he & Malkin are hardly the only player questioning officials out there.

That's a good point. Every NHL fan thinks the NHL brass has a personal grudge against their team, that the refs are instructed by Gary Bettman to call games to favor the opposing team. If you listen to the fans, there must be a conspiracy against every NHL team...(when in reality, the only active conspiracy by the NHL is against the Red Wings. )
