Do work, hockey fans.

Re: The NHL: Where people get concussions

That was a pretty good game between the Caps and Bruins. Sucks that the Bruins lost. Hey, Holtby is playing very well in net for the Caps. Better than I expected. Seriously, who would have thought that this was going to be a goaltending, defensive series so far. I didn't. Game 3 should be interesting. Are we going to have another game like this or does either the Caps, Bruins or both breakout offensively.

Holtby has got to keep it up. Thank god the Caps will get OV away from Chara/Seids. Brooks Laich has been horrid, and so OV has to try and do it all. not going to work.

Re: The NHL: Where people get concussions

Flyers are in their head, you can tell, this isnt what the Penguins do, and its gotten them off their game, but of course, I'm sure we'll see everyone saying how we are the dirty team and the same stuff they say about the Flyers, but this series is getting ugly and going to be over sooner rather then later if Fleury doesnt find his game, or the defense doesnt tighten up.

Re: The NHL: Where people get concussions

You do realize this last game was the best defensive effort they had, and play the way they did in game 6 is the way they had been playing prior to this series. Love how you put all the blame on the Pens, and no credit to the Flyers, you must really watch games. The flyers were able to make the Pens play their type of game in their wins, and the Pens played their game in the two wins they had.

Not sure who we'll play next round, but the offense is clicking, and if they can play with anyone, and all the upsets brewing in the East, if Caps, Sens, and Florida all win, your saying you'd take any of those three over Philly? You are crazy if that's the case. Looking forward to seeing if Caps can close this out, and if Kings can as well later tonight, but so glad the Flyers closed it out and didn't have to go back to Pittsburgh.

Correct, the better team won the series. I'm not making any excuses, i'm not that type of person. I was just saying the Pens looked like they had no jump this game and looked tired/defeated.

Once again, congrats.

Re: The NHL: Where people get concussions

Congrats to the Kings and it's fans, what a great playoffs they had, and happy for the ex-flyers in Gagne, Richards, and Carter who are winning their first cups, especially Gagne, great series, Devils have nothing to be ashamed of, was a great playoffs and can't wait to see what happens in the off seson for all the teams, and next season, congrats once again to the Kings and it's fans.

And wow, just saw on NHL Network that it's the 4th straight year that a team that started it's season in Europe is the team that won the Stanley Cup, come on Flyers, start in Europe next season haha.

Re: The NHL: Where people get concussions

Congrats, Kings fans.

Sucks seeing the team that the Panthers took to Double OT in Game 7 make a run to the Stanley Cup.. who knows what could have been. I mean, the Kings were an 8th seed and no one expected them to win it all. I'm just happy that I was able to see an actual freaking playoff series this year... was very fun again to have a dog in the race.

Were there any major incidents last night in L.A.? That city has a sketchy track record with their celebrating.

Re: The NHL: Where people get concussions

Wow. JvR has 35 in him imo. Good trade for the Leafs all things considered. The strides Gardner and Aulie have taken made Schenn expendable and this is pretty good return. Hopefully JvR can put past injuries behind him the same way Lupul did to be a top forward for the Leafs. François Beauchemin for Lupul and Gardner is probably one of the most lop-sides trades in recent memory so hopefully this can work out well for the Leafs.

Re: The NHL: Where people get concussions

He wants to be a top 4 defensmen THIS year, and a lot of the teams he was talking to, that wasn't going to happen so part of the reason he signed with them. They still need help on the back end, and a goaltender to even consider them anything but they do have a good young core group to grow with so who knows where they will be in a few years.

I would be shocked if Marty signs anywhere but the Devils, he's hired an agent & is going to test free agency, just can't see him playing for another team. Also Alim, what's the word with Lou, with them signing Schneider to an extension, all but says they are gonna trade Lou. What are they asking for them and where is the most likely spot he'll be headed to, Toronto, back to Florida, or somewhere else?

Re: The NHL: Where will Luongo end up?

What the fucking christ did I watch tonight?


My boys sucked a huge amount of dick.


I am going to hope this was just a result of being off this long and being rusty. If this continues, holy shit, bring back the god of all gods, STEVE YZERMAN, to coach these guys to victory.

Re: The NHL: Where will Luongo end up?

Loving the Center Ice free preview. Zack Kassian has been the big mule that the Canucks were hoping for in today's game.

Felt great for Josh Harding getting the shutout today in his first start since being diagnosed with MS.

I know it's only two games but I'm thrilled that the Penguins are 2-0 and both the Rangers and Flyers are 0-2.
