Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

[rjwhite41]

To be fair I don't care about either team. Whoever said they can't stand the Pens announcers, I'm with you 100% on that. They're as whiny as Crosby.

 

[jtkratzer]

You really do have a persecution complex.

Here's the facts:
1. Laviolette gets pissed, throws a tantrum including taking Talbot's stick, whacking it with the result pieces of the stick fly all over the place.
2. Laviolette (the COACH, who is supposed to show his team RESTRAINT), gets up and stands on the end of the bench and starts yelling and reaching toward the Penguins bench.
3. Granato responds and tells Laviolette (Mr tantrum) to settle down and the two get in a verbal argument.
4. After the game, Laviolette continues his tantrum in the News Conference,

And where was the instigator on Asham for starting a second attempted rumble with Rinaldo after it was already being sorted out?

And the fact that the Pens feel they need to send a message of physicality to the Flyers just exacerbates the fact the Flyers are in their heads and own them in Pittsburgh.

I couldn't care less about the tantrum, but I still find it entertaining that Byslma let his wife do the talking.

And your surprised that Laviolette got a bigger fine?

Not at all, considering it was the Flyers/Pens, the Flyers always get the extra.

All in all, I think puck-daddy sized it up just about right: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/flyers-coach-laviolette-fined-10-000-tantrum-versus-214842940.html.

I'll look these over then. Wife needs the laptop to make thank you cards.

By the way, Hartnell (who isn't exactly my favorite), summed it up pretty well:

Nothing wrong with that at all. I'm not complaining about the hit or the scrums. I'm talking about how the Pens got away with murder throughout the rest of the game as already described.

To be fair I don't care about either team. Whoever said they can't stand the Pens announcers, I'm with you 100% on that. They're as whiny as Crosby.

That was me, and yes, they are awful. Look, a disinterested party doesn't like something about the Pens.




Here's a bit from another forum about the Pens:

Yeah, I'm sorry but they have to be the worst in the league. Not only are the hypocrites, crying for every little thing, but yet they do the exact same thing, but they play the game dirty... They are always good to jump someone from behind, take a guy 3 on 1, wait until the ref is in between and then start punching... And this isn't just me "being a Flyers fan"... Ask any other team in the league, and they'll say exactly the same thing.

And Crosby, talking about the hit on Briere - Ok, the hit was clean for the most part... Danny needs to keep his head up... the contact was upper torso... But for Crosby to be grinning while crying after the game "Well maybe he shouldn't have been out on the ice if he couldn't take the hit"... Really? This ***** just pussed out for a season and a half because of incidental contact, and now he's going to sit there and shoot his mouth off about "not being on the ice for a hit"? Wow... just... wow...

Love the way Asham jumped Schenn from behind and started punching him in the back of the head... loved how the Pens assistant is the only one with balls enough to step up... love the way Crsby does whatever he wants, but when Schenn shoves him back, Crosby turns around with the dead horse look on his face, teeth sticking out like he expects a call... love the way everything against every other team is supposed to be a penalty, but the second they get one, they have to argue it aggressively...

Come on guys, I don't know if it's your coach teaching you this crap or what, but it isn't cool or respectable. EVERY team has dirty hits, players, etc.. but the Pens just seem to form into the mold for it. I always liked Neal, Sullivan, Niskanen, etc... but as soon as they went to Pitt, they changed... they got major attitudes, major egos, and they lost any sportsmanship they had... just something about that place I guess....

This isn't about whining, or persecution, it's about reality and the way things actually are. You're wearing the Pittsburgh hat and you like the Pens and you're views are biased and slanted. It's ok. It's not OK to ignore the obvious way games are called (or not called).

Everyone outside of Pittsburgh sees it.

Wow you guys are really stepping it up for the playoffs I see.

Personally, I'm planning a huge Leafs draft-lottery party. But it's doubtful that anyone will show up.

Will there be beer? Where is it?

Either way, copious servings of humble pie will be served and consumed.

There's that persecution complex again. Better get some help for that.

Tell the wife to get her own laptop. Your discussing hockey, what takes priority?

Well, it'd be near Toronto. About a 4.5 hour drive for you, which would be a waste of time to just drink sketchy beer.

Hockey makes me depressed. Lets go Blue Jays.

I just want one regular season win against the Rangers.

Not really a big game for the Flyers. They clinched a week or two ago, almost certainly will play the Pens, and home ice hasn't helped the Pens against them going back to 2010.

Rangers need to win or Pittsburgh to lose to wrap up the east. Probably more pressure and a bigger game for them.

It should be a great game. I'm just hoping for healthy players to get the playoffs started after losing Briere and Grossman on Sunday.

 

[wildwest450]

Do you know how the east coast make an ass of themselves?

They post.

 

[arturo7]

Wow...

Holy snot. Do you actually think anyone on this board is going to wade through all of that?

 

[jtkratzer]

So, we're supposed to just sit here and look at each other hoping someone starts a game of sticky icky cookie instead while the Western Conference elitists look down on the rest of us because they're upset that the East has claimed the Cup more often since 2000, since 1990, and then we're getting into a discussion of the past...

Maybe it's the Detroit fans who are jealous they're not in the East and no one really cares about the West because of the ridiculous time zones and times games start for us on the East.

 

[paulster2626]

West coast has always had a jealous complex with the east. Just nature of the beast. Are they even awake yet???

So you are dissing the West cause of the ridiculous time zones? Come back with a better argument next time.

Good point. Sorry for writing a post on a forum that contained more than a nonsensical sentence or a sentence about how your team sucks or how good my team is. It took more time for you to reply to that than if you just read it or skipped over it altogether.

Ur team sux. We r gonna win the cup!

That better?

[jtkratzer]

For all you b*tches who like Pittsburgh and think the Pens don't get away with murder, for all of you who say I have persecution sydrome or whatever you were rambling about, read this:

From the mouth of the horse's ass (picture that one) himself:

"Let's be honest," Crosby said. "Both teams bring out a lot of bad things in each other. You can sit there and put a microscope on every slash that goes on out there. The fact is both teams do it. … That's going to happen when these teams play each other. I know that's probably the most hacks I've given out personally in a long time. So they seem to bring out the worst in me, too."

So, after bitching about the "cheap shot" he got from Schenn, which came after he had already whacked Schenn, and running his gutless ***** mouth about Briere shouldn't be on the ice if he can't take the hit (post game interview), after he just pussed out of a season and a half for a clean hit and incidental contact he took, THIS mother f*cker wants to make these comments. He admits to slashing, chopping, and whacking away all game, more than he has in a long time (read, since he last played when he was healthy), without a penalty. He has the balls to give that dumbfounded horse teeth filled mouth hanging open look like his mother was just run over by a bus, total disbelief, that Schenn would give him a cross check to the back and there was no call. It was the "C'mon guys, you're supposed to call that for me" look all after he took liberties all game that went unpenalized.

This is for the rest of the crybabies:

That game wound down with the Flyers' Brayden Schenn whacking Sidney Crosby in the back as both skated to their benches -- not long after Crosby swung his stick at Schenn. With Arron Asham and Zac Rinaldo skirmishing. With Joe Vitale leveling the Flyers' Danny Briere with a hard hit at mid-ice, after Vitale put defenseman Nicklas Grossmann out of the game with an earlier hit.

Unpenalized knee on knee hit by the way...

http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=625541

And Milburry apologized because Bettman made him, but here's Crosby's reaction:

Crosby also took offense to the "punk" label.

"My style is not different than a lot of guys to be honest," Crosby said. "I think if you're to look at the way I play, when I play the game I play to create offense and to score goals. If you are to dissect everything and show my responses to certain things sometimes, yeah I do certain things out there. But they're usually in response to two or three things that have been done prior to that. But you don't usually see that, you just usually see the response."

Crosby said he never has claimed to be nor does he view himself as a "sweet kid" on the ice and he had no issues with Schenn's cross-check.

"The cross-check that Schenn had, that's really not something that's out of the blue," Crosby said. "That happens pretty much every game to be honest with you and as far as me slashing someone, that's hockey. I guess I'm not a gentleman out there on the ice, I will say that. There are times where it's a contact sport and I do get involved myself sometimes. But I don't think I've gotten one penalty in a scrum since I've been back, so I just want to clarify that because I know that was something that was up for debate."

See...he admits to slashing, getting in scrums (which he said he was going to stay out of because of his concussions) and does so without penalty.

http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/7770516/mike-milbury-apologizes-sidney-crosby-punk-remarks

Another admission to his antics that usually go unpenalized.



Keep telling yourself that Pittsburgh doesn't get preferential treatment. And after watching the video again of Laviolette, he did nothing more than Granato but break Talbot's self-described "good stick." And breaking a stick apparently warrants a fine 400% more.

Bring on these f*cks on Saturday and in the playoffs.

Settle down, take your pills or your hallucinations will get worse. You also better take your calming pills or your blood pressure might get the best of you and cause that stroke.

It will all be better soon, after the Flyers are playing Golf while the Penguins move on to face the next challenger. Just remember, there's always next year.

 

[Barnzy02]

Flyers fans: playing the victim is getting old. Crosby is Crosby, as Gretzky was Gretzky, he'll get preferential treatment and less calls against him. Get over it.

We've still taken 4 out of 5 games this season against the pens, and have taken 5 in a row in their new arena. Until, they prove they can beat us what's the point in complaining ?

Oh yeah, and i'm loving Couturier shadowing Malkin. Kids only 19 and capable of shutting down the best in the game.

Reality check, taken in three consecutive doses:

First dose: Pens record against the Flyers this year: 1-4.

Second dose: Pens have not beaten the Flyers at home in 5 games since the new building opened in 2010.

Third dose: Crosby has run his cock holster about getting away with his slashing and retaliatory antics. Think anyone will be watching now?

I just enjoy the delusional ramblings of Pens fans who refuse to accept the reality that he does get that preferential treatment.

It's funny, they seem to not want to call penalties on Sid too often.

They just wait until after Sid does something then call someone else on the team for a makeup call. Usually a nonsense interference call

Sid breaking his own stick slashing Voracek had me cracking up.

And now f*ckstick running his mouth about all the slashing, whacking, and retaliating he does...with 0 PIMs for him on the score sheet.

I stopped complaining about the Pens getting away with everything a long time ago. It doesn't get anything accomplished. I do like to make fun of Pittsburgh fans who won't admit it and think it's some sort of psychological disorder Flyers fans suffer from, which makes it more fun to point out how far removed from reality they really are.

It's just hilarious (sad, actually) that boy wonder admits it himself and they choose to defy his Holiness.



Just remember, you can't spell "Crosby" without "cry."

 

[Barnzy02]

If you're not slashing, whacking, and retaliating ... you're doing it wrong, IMO.

Crosby, definitely, gets the benefit of the doubt for a number of reasons ... #87 will always have a target on his back from the other team, so he gets pestered probably more than anyone in the league.

I hate him for how ****ing good he's always been against the flyers.

I would've loved to have seen atleast one Richards v Crosby fight before we shipped Dry Island off to Hollywood.

 

[Northjerzyg]

Missing another Rangers v Flyers game cause my job sucks donkey b@ll$. Keep me updated, unless Philly is winning.

I would leave it at that but I couldn't possibly do that.

It's also quite ironic that you posted that picture when it seems like your whole post was you whining about Pens fans. Though I agree some Pens fans are whiners, don't go lumping us all into that category.

What bugs me the most is that every ****ing time Crosby shows displeasure with a call and voices his opinion to the refs all the Crosby haters show up and go "Come on Cindy, play hockey." Seriously? He's not allowed to voice his opinion? Every single player on the ice does it, including YOUR Flyers. Sometimes he's right to be complaining, other times not, but that same holds true for everyone else. It shows that the real crybaby's are the ones that can't handle Crosby voicing his opinion and/or complaining about a call, get the F over it, that stuff happens in ALL sports. I bet you don't say a thing when your crybaby of a Manager runs out to home plate to dispute a call on your boy Ryan Howard....

The point is, get off his back about it, everyone in ALL of sports complains and thats how it goes. The refs aren't perfect, and neither would you be if you were a ref. Which brings me to point 2. Seriously? Preferential treatment? There were calls on BOTH sides the whole game that should have been called, thats part of the game. The refs cant call every damn thing and they're not going to throw a perfect game every damn night. That's why its an 82 game season, it all evens out over the course of the year. Yea sometimes bad calls affect games, other times they don't at all. Just shut your damn trap already about the preferential treatment, its childish.

Lastly, your little comment about "pussing out of a season and a half" are you kidding me? Were you in the doctors office talking to Sid and the doctor about how he's doing? Jesus Christ on a pogo stick yinz guys can be crazy some times. How do you feel about your boy Pronger pussing out on the whole season? What a vag he's been, eh? Giroux shouldn't have missed a game this year, that was a hit my 6 year old cousin could have taken like a champ.
