2012 NHL Playoffs Thread

I'm already trolling people over at HF, but I don't think the Neal hit on Couturier is as bad as people are making it out to be. It was a bit late, but he won't get a suspension.

Both teams lost their composure, Pittsburgh moreso, but what do you expect? The series was already chippy and the Penguins just got crushed in back to back games. The Refs should have gotten control of the game in the first period, it was obvious where the game was going once the Flyers started to get a sizeable lead.

I was crushing Crosby over there...easy target, I'll admit.

What a hit by brown.

Also really embarrassing dive by kesler- not even needed at Willie was getting called before kesler leaned on the greased boards. ( as pointed out by shook).

Goobye Canucks

Love it.

[tyler]

goodbye leafs ... oh wait, they were not even there to say goodbye to.

[tyler]

[Nick]

Leafs jabs not old yet?, Leaf fans are over it, why cant Canucks fans..

[Lee]

Anything to divert attention from their own epic collapse

I thought they would have learned from last year. Bruins wrote the blue print and it is being copied with great success.

Kesler is such a fucking scab.

Play the game without all the embellishment you loser. Funny thing is that when he isnt worried about flopping around like a fish out of water, he is way more effective.


Letangs just as bad!

Crosby, Kesler, Letang, Doughty, Marchand, MaxPac, Ribby, Perry, Versteeg, Plekanec, Burrows, etc... lots of players are much more capable when they focus on hockey and lose the antics.

I enjoy picking on kesler because he is one of the worst.

Finger biter is pretty bad himself too.

[Nick]

It's werid, because I cannot stand most of that list when they are being sideshows, but when on game they are all very very good.


On the opposite side of the scale are players who are best with some emotion and non-just-hockey:

Backes, Thornton, Bertuzzi, Lucic, Lecavalier, Iginla, Phaneuf, Richards, Liach, Bieksa, etc

All of whom can be somewhat lower-impact if not invested in the game.

Our jabs come because of the constant year long badgering we take lol. If we didnt have to put up with all that shit (Kyle is probably included here too) we wouldn't lip you guys off either lol. Just saying.

The way your team is playing, you couldn't lip off a homeless man for a dimebag.

On my way home from school I was thinking this same thing!

Good call.

[Sensfanjosh]

If anyone lips off about my Sens I'll be sending Matty Carkner after you!

.....thats right this guy!

[Nick]

I loved the beat down he gave Boyle... too bad he got a suspension for it.

[Mike]

Yeah I thought it helped, but suspension warranted for sure. Bah can't wait for some hockeys tonight.

[Sensfanjosh]

Yeah, I think if he let up once Boyle went down he wouldn't have got the suspension, but meh point got across. Konopka apparently got fined $2500 for verbal abuse of a Rangers player. No idea where that came from.
