Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

1 bad play was the difference in the game. 2 horrible calls and 1 bad play. I'll take our chances in 7. After all, we lost game 1, last series and won the next 4.

+ 1

What a surprise you guys feel that way. Is arturo going to shock us with a similar opinion?

I'm going to say Kings in 6, but I realize it's pretty much anyone's game; heck, it's anyone's Cup, and ANY of the remaining teams can conceivably win the West. But the St. Louis homers were able to blame Halak for the first loss - not the case this time. And let's see if Pietrangelo even returns...

 

[MeatyPortion]

If the Kings win Arturo is going to quit the internets. I can feel it.

 

[arturo7]

Far more worried about losing Petro than losing the game. If he's out I don't like our chances.

As for the game, Blues played one good period. If they don't step it up they'll be gone in 4, Petro or no.

I quit again and again. The evil cyberworld keeps draggin me back in.

It's liberating watching playoff hockey and not having a vested interest in anyone. This must be how leafs fans feel every. single. year.

Kind of hope LA wins now, damn Quick is good. I think the Vezina is going to be interesting with him, Rinne, and Lundqvist. I can't decide who deserves it the most!

Yeah it's a tough call. I like Quick because of the lack of goal support he got, but I like Lundqvist because he's pretty much the sole reason the Rags are where they are. I just didn't get to see Rinne that much.

Just under 3 hours to game time. Let's Go Flyers! Hoping to see Grossmann back today and Meszaros at some point in the series.

:rockin:

Keep playin the puck

Flyers looked pretty miserable in the first, definitely could tell they were off for almost a week. They're getting it going in the second. Good to see JVR tickle the twine.

Devils doing well against the Flyers PP. 2-1 Flyers about halfway through the second.

Flyers handout shirt for today, and it's pretty awesome:

Wellwood has jets.

Flyers seem to be shaking off the rust.

Miserable penalty call on Carle on that short handed breakaway and it leads to a Devils PP and they score. 2-2.

 

[jtkratzer]

And heading to OT cause Bryz couldn't stop a fairly soft five hole shot.

 

[sivdrinks]

Devils need to win this game, Flyers are only get better. Devils haven't figured out they need to outscore Philly and I think the Flyers are remembering how irritating the Devils are defensively.

 

[jtkratzer]

Ahhh...Briere, that's close on the kicking motion vs redirection. I'm behind the live game, had to take a phone call, but the first 3:30 minutes have been all Flyers.

 

[jtkratzer]

BRIERE GETS TWO IN OVERTIME! ONE DOWN, THREE TO GO!

...actually, 5 down, 11 to go.

Don't be a dick, the first goal was kicked in.

That wasn't being a dick. Don't be jealous your team can't score any more goals this post season.



My daughter was napping for the entire game (in the orange Flyers shirt), and I got her up during the intermission before OT. Came through again on a Sunday afternoon playoff game.

If you can't admit that the goal was kicked in, you ARE a homer.

Did I ever say it wasn't kicked in? Just that it was close...a homer would argue he didn't kick it in that he was stopping, but the foot clearly advanced toward the goal, hence a kicking motion, and the correct call of no goal.

Y'all are reading the lines for something that's not there.

 

[jtkratzer]

How bout those Coyotes?

 

[emjay]

How bout those Coyotes?

Definitely surprising me, but just goes to show you can't count ANYONE out in these playoffs. Except the Blues, of course.

They coyotes are playing like they want it way more than the Preds, though. Nashville really needs to get their hearts back in the game if they want to advance.

 

[jtkratzer]

And I thought this was going to be a goaltending series. Who do they think they are, the Flyers and Penguins? 15 goals in two games so far.

 

[emjay]

Well, as somebody previously said, you're not really in trouble until you lose at home.
And as far as the Flyers go... 4/4 when they give up the first goal. I guess they just thrive on the pressure instead of getting pessimistic as many players tend to do.

I think they gave up the first goal in 40-some games this year. Something ridiculous.

Just saw a replay angle from the players' benches side of the ice, not even close, 100% kicking motion.

Yepper. From that angle, it looked like he was playing kickball.

whats up with Nashville ? Didn't expect PHX to go up 2 on them

I didn't see that coming either. Maybe after winning against Detroit, the Preds feel they have accomplished all they set out to do this year...

You make your own luck, but Phoenix is getting a lot of bounces going their way right now.
