Stanley Cup Playoffs 2012

Yeah fucking shaw got the shaft, all because the refs allowed the Pens Flyers game to get completely out of hand...

I'm sorry but a 3 game suspension, that is a little excessive...

And just because he's a thug doesn't mean he CAN'T win the norris trophy, defensemen have to be tough but there are those that are tough without being thugs...

Zdeno Chara for example.

Do you mean Shea Weber aka one of the best defencemen in the world aka played for team canada at the olympics aka considered for norris trophy last season and probably considered for this season? Oh, because a guy isn't a pussy like the entire red wings, hes a goon?

He's an enforcer, but what he did is going over the line no matter how you slice it. Unless you're a blind fan, you should be able to admit that....

It's not about how much it hurts, it's about intent. It was a dirty play from a fucking scum bag player that was put in for just that reason -- to attack Boyle. It was both premeditated and retaliatory carry over from the previous game! That's, in my opinion, worse than any accidental elbow to the head. It cheapens the entire league! But, hey it's only punishable by a slap to the wrist and a one-game suspension to a player that the fucking Sens can live without indefinitely if they had to. In trade, the Rangers lose a skilled player for three fucking games for an accident for which he apologized and actually felt bad about because it was a fucking accident. That fucking scum-bag Carkner would never do that, because it was what he was put on to the ice to do, attack Boyle!

Whatever, it's . The entire league is , from shitty ref'ing this whole fucking playoffs thus far in many games, to stupidly unjust and inconsistently ruled suspensions. I don't know what they think they're doing, but it's sad! I'd prefer, if this is the way they're going to conduct business, they just let the players police themselves -- if they're going to fuck it up then they should stay the fuck out of it!

The age in which players police themselves is long gone. Insurance companies and sponsors have their idea of how the game should be viewed, which sadly will affect the final product.

On a lighter note, it gave me so much joy seeing smashville's final goal the other day. GJ red wings pk, forced to make the dumb play and not clear the puck they skate it up the slot then WHOOPS WTF pickin it out the back of their own net. ROFL

5 outta 8 aint bad

2nd round FIGHT!

I like LA over ST Louis; Nashville over Phoenix; NYR over Caps and stupid fucking Philly over the Devils

Although I would like to see Marty go deep seeing as how this is prolly his last horra, it's yet to be seen if he can play like he did in his prime (looks lost at times and gives up saucy rebounds) but if any goalie can do it it'd be him.

Suck it sharks fans, wings fans, hawks fans, nucks fans, bruins fans and unfortunately pens fans

You're going with the inexperienced blues over the vezina worthy kings goalie? I love their story this year but I just don't see them figuring out quick. Now that the kings are putting the puck in the net they're going to be a hell of a team to beat.


In unrelated news, props to all the new coaches for getting in the thick of things. 4/8 of this teams have new coaches/ fired their old one.

Another year, another disappointed Sharks fan.

I wanted to see BOS win for the same reason.


On another note; wtf is up with rinne and the preds D? and does raddloff or whatever the fuck know how to pass? or just circle jerk himself and turn the puck over. They need to go home and tie the series up right quick.

[Foolioq]

Radulov is another overrated Russian pussy from the Eurodreamland of hockey where they think they're good until they play NHL.

Someone needs to run these puck playing goaltenders back into their nets, I keep falling asleep with all this neutral zone hockey.

New coaches do well in the playoffs because they use new systems that other teams don't expect or haven't seen from the club.

I also have complete faith that Carter and Richards will stop producing like every year in the Philly when they start partying too much.

Being a Sharks fan would be rough. At least everyone knows the Flames are a shit team so expectations are low and any little success is praise worthy. The Sharks have had a deadly team for the last 5 years or so that just keeps adding good players but still can never get it done in the clutch.

Yeah, it's rough.

I don't know if it's line management, or what. Something needs to shake this team up. I wasn't so sure about trading Heatly for Havlat, but Havlat was the only reason we got into the fucking playoffs in the first place. He's good when he's healthy, so I hope they all stay healthy for next season.

Fingers crossed!
