    Wow I don't know if I'd have blown the play dead there.
    Neither guy was bleeding all over or in extreme danger that I saw.

    Woah... that was a bit ballsy to toss it all the way down, but nicely done

    While I agree that being insensitive is an issue, so is being oversensitive.

    feels like teams are much more confident in their faceoffs now so why not shoot for it.

    And with a 2 goal lead it's not as much of a risk.

    I'm not much of a hockey fan, but it is impossible for me to tell you how excited this town is about just the chance to be here. People are going insane for this shit.

    Matt Cullen played more minutes than Malkin and Ron Hainsey, easily our worst defense man, played 21 and a half minutes, the second most on the team.

    Sullivan might be a good systems coach, but he is trying to work the match ups too much in these away games.

    And his infatuation with Hainsey is....hard to understand

    Not sure if I posted it before the series started, but Rinne was something like 0-4-1 in Pittsburgh with an .880sv

    And now in three games in these playoffs he is, approximately, .880sv% in Pittsburgh and .920 or something g in Nashville

    So, I still don't think Ron hainsey should be in the game.

    But, he did just break four ankles and then score a goal

    These finals have been crazy. Every game it feels like it's over, but I've been watching hockey long enough to know... last few games are going to be good.

    Pens have won every other series this playoffs in 7, so I'm predicting 7 again.

    Also I love that Nashville is a hockey town, but I've hated the, "it's all your fault" taunt all postseason.

  • Options

    I'm sure they do it other places too, but

    Nashville is the exact same as going to a U of M game at Yost

    Literally every crowd taunt is the same.

    Oh, the Preds. I had to read that 5 or 6 times to figure out what was going on. Initially, I thought "Holy shit, was last night's 3rd period so boring that the press started checking each other?" I'm blaming lack of caffeine, lol.

    The one time I was actually ok with the possibility of a Red Wings win. That's right. It's my fault.

    Seeing lots of replays of Sidney punching Subang on the ground, and hearing his explanation is bullshit. Almost as bad as the both getting a holding.

    Reminds me of a few years ago during a Penguins/Flyers series. There was a bit of a scrum and Giroux was bending down to pick up one of his gloves and Sid skated by and swatted the glove away with his stick. When asked about it after the game all he could say was "I don't like him. I don't like any of those guys".

    Let's hope Pierre doesn't find out about that. Listening to him is bad enough. Having him try to be cute while pining over Crosby is unbearable.
