General Hockey Talk/Vids

The Flyers ever look lazy last few games. When the put there foot on the gas, a new level isn't evident. Goaltending will be there weakness in playoffs. I know they are still strong favorites but if there is to be a hole, its in net.

[Nick]

The Flyer forwards, aside from Richards, don't appear to give a shit, and their D look slow. On top of shit goaltending as to be expected with the Orange.

Versteeg is still sucking for the leafs, and he doesn't even play for us anymore!


Marlies are off to a slow start vs the bulldogs.


D.Mitchell drops the gloves after Dumont throws a knee.

At the fronts game right now and Spooner with the insane 1st period: 1g 2a in a 3-1 lead. 1st goal was a stellar pass from EGudbranson sending him in a breakaway. Great body positioning by spooner to muscle past the D. 2nd goal Spoonermisses a breakaway pass by falling, recovers, intercepts the goalie's pass and dekes him out. 3rd goal spooner to Agudbranson on the PP at 20:00. Top shelf snipe that barely crossed the line and was probably after the horn went. 1st video review I've seen in an O game.

Werek also looking very good in all 3 zones.

[Shep]

4g 1a lol

Big game tonight Chuck...Could be the deciding factor in our BBKL match. I'm predicting a 2-1 or 1-0 score. Not going to be a run n gun like last time. It will be physical but not violent. Kaberle breaks his Bruins goal scoring cherry tonight.

[armandtanzarian]

Wow, Matt Martin officially recorded 14 hits in game tonight against Leafs. Now Thats BEAST.

Wow, Matt Martin officially recorded 14 hits in game tonight against Leafs. Now Thats BEAST.

Except if you watched the game, and know he deserved maybe a third of those. The leaf commentators were talking about it too, suggesting his agent was doing the counting. Pretty ridiculous he got credited with 14.

[Nick]

I don't even recall him being physical....

[inferno31]

I don't even recall him being physical....

He wasn't..

Kinda a Newtons Third law view on the game, he got credited with a hit if he hit someone, someone hit him. Add then maybe missed hits, missed hits on him.. including all that I don't get that number

[armandtanzarian]

Doesn't surprise me that the stats on hits are a bit unreliable.

Jordan Caron-David Krejci/Rich Peverley-Benoit Pouliot
Daniel Paille-Gregory Campbell-Shawn Thornton

Love that 2nd Line.

[Mike]

Love that 2nd Line.

Better than their 1st line.

[MSP4LYFE]

Why is Krejci on the third line?

[armandtanzarian]

Hes still hurt, just filling in part time during drills.

[MSP4LYFE]

Ahh...

[armandtanzarian]

Love that 2nd Line.

Better than their 1st line.

Yea i would say the second line is much better..lol If Chris Kelly is the number one center, something is wrong.

[bills09]

Why is Krejci on the third line?

That 2nd line looks more like a 1st... Also humorous how much Boston media is blaming Horton.... Chara and Marchand pretty much the same 'crime'. Team had 60 minutes of penalties, Nate was only 16 of those. LOL

Not saying he didn't rag doll Gleason... But this is the guy that said he'd punch anyone back that punched him in the face -- after he happily koed kules -- but when a similarly sized dog wants to dance he's not for settling disputes with his fists.
