yeah, but he molested me loney:

sens raping the pens.

and i hope they keep raping them. then everyone will stop riding crosby's dick. cant stand all the bandwagon fans that think they are going to win the cup.

my girlfriend is a red wings fan, and im cheering for calgary. should be fun hellfire:

Shes a smart girl.

sens are just lucky. Pens will come back, watch.

holy fuck, Vancouver just won with about 2 minutes left in quadruple OT

72 shots against luongo. ed:

I gotta think the Pens will play better on Saturday. They kinda stunk up Scotiabank Place last night and they have too many character guys on that bench for a repeat performance.

The called back goal on Crosby was total bullshitz. There's no way that was a deliberate kicking motion. Sid had a right to be steamed. The only thing I can think of was that the refs thought they missed a goalie interference call on Sid, so they got him back by waving off the goal. Who knows what goes on in the review booth...

Maxime Talbot better keep his head up...that's all I'll say about that.

Think they'll start Fleury on Saturday? Man, he looked shaky in the first. The Pens always seem to settle down when T-Bo is in there. Dunno why, 'cause he's really not that good.

Think Luongo is stiff this morning? I'd be in a full-body cast after 70+ shots on goal. Yowza!

whatever the sens do...they still will NEVER erase this...

4 times in 5 years

Bitch.

annoy:

Did the Leafs win the Cup in any of those 4 years? No? Oh.

How's Sundin's backswing coming along? I heard he's working on his slice.

should be solid, 2nd year in a row hes had the chance to work on it.

Reason: Backswing practice.

There's a playoffs in the NHL?

They better beg for a deal with ESPN again or else hockey aint gonna be around much longer.

I think over half the revenues of the NHL come from canada while only having 6/30 teams. I think the NHL would be wise to pay more attention to what Canada wants rather than trying to satisfy Americans who don't even want to watch hockey.

AH HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW! American TV revenue has always been laughable.

ninty is dead on.

Senators could win the stanley cup this year and it proves nothing about if they're better than the leafs...when it comes down to sudden death type games...leafs are better...no if ands or buts...

the first year ottawa was favoured over us...we swept em.

Was it nice seeing playoffs games being pretty much leaf home games at ottawa and toronto...we would travel 3 hours to watch the leafs in ottawa....ottawa residents can't be bothered to head downtown.

Being a dormant fan of hockey myself, along with many other americans, it's not doing as well as it did in the past because of the contract with the third party networks like OLN and whatever the hell it's on. ESPN was such a major part of the broadcasting in the states that now that it's gone nobody pays attention to it. It's not going to be around much longer in the states, is what I was getting at. Canada eats hockey, so with ESPN out of the picture in the states, the NHL would definately be wise to move to Canada... with their weird ass football.

It's on versus in the US. The one positive thing about that is VS wants the NHL. They do pregame and postgame and their broadcasting is pretty decent.

ESPN didn't really care about the NHL. It's there to fill a time slot basically. ESPN has programs that are much more popular, so I don't blame them.

You are right though. Every sports bar will show ESPN, so if there happens to be a hockey game on, all the people in the bar will be watching hockey. If you want to watch hockey now in the states, you have to search for it because no bar will be showing VS and nobody knows what the hell the channel is.

yep and quite a few cable companies are thinking of dropping VS.

without the US's help the NHL would turn into another CFL type league. your player salaries would decline dramatically and you would probably not see european players coming to the NHL. it would be a select few northern US players and Canadians only. You guys may not care about it but trust me the NHL certainly does.

Anyway, back to the playoffs...

The leafs aren't in 'em. LAWWWL! rock:

I wish I was home tonight to watch the Sabres/Isles and Wings/Flames. Those are gonna be sweet serieseseses.

The Isle game before the play offs against the Devils was insane. That was on NBC. I say Go Isles!

You mean the game the devils threw?

I haven't seen the devils play a worst game in my life...besides the last 10 seconds.
