NHL playoffs

haha, i typed that and by the time it posted you changed it. then i thought maybe i was seeing things so i edited it out so i dont look nuts hahaha

 

I wonder how many goalies the Redwings will bring to the game tonight? The last two games both Osgood and Zetterberg were both goal tenders. Is it just me or am I the only damn pens fan that is pissed about this. Here's the rule from the NHL:

67.4 Penalty Shot - If a player, except a goalkeeper, while play is in progress, falls on the puck, holds the puck, picks up the puck, or gathers the puck into his body or hands from the ice in the goal crease area, the play shall be stopped immediately and a penalty shot shall be awarded to the non-offending team. See also Rule 63 – Delaying the Game.

Here's an article on from yahoo w/ video:

The other side, wings fans, have plenty to argue as well. Maybe Malkin should be sitting this game. That's what the orginal call was, but since he's a "Superstar" the rule doesn't apply to him like it didn't apply to Zetterberg being the Wings 2nd goal-tender. All I have to say is WTF NHL, you want more fans but you refuse to officiate your own rules.



GO PENS!!!

 

I hate these Pittsburgh Loving damn announcers How about that missed too many men for like a minute

 

Bettman would love for Pit to win...

 

I just hope everyone realizes that there is only one sport in America that actually matters.

HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SUPER BOWL CHAMPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just thought I'd throw that in there. Not trying to ruffle anyone's feathers (0-16 Lions fans)

 

^ damn right! I like hockey but the NFL dominates US sports!

And the Steelers dominate the NFL!!!!!!..............SIXBURGH!!!


And it says a lot that our hockey team is one of the best as well! The Pirates suck but they did beat the Mets 2x in a row!

 

OMG
what was babcock thinking????

 

This is the NHL Thread.. get that HandEgg Talk outa here..

 

We had a guy make a sign for our softball game that said :

"Ump I found your cell phone.. It say's you Missed a Call"

 

lol
no that dumbass red wings coach
hats off to the penguins, lotta hustle tonight in p burg

 

TO BAD NO OTHER SPORTS ATHLETE CAN COMPETE AGAINST A HOCKEY PLAYER!!! Except maybe a UFC Fighter... Football (10 sec per play max)... Basketball ( f,n' candy a$$ pu$$ies cant take contact...+ back and forth back and forth) lamest sport ever!!!.. soccer(need i say more)... anyone else wanna say something... I do like football.. it just doesnt compete with Hockey!!!

 

What about a Rugby Player???

 

well there pretty bad ass too!!... haha i wouldnt f' with any of them

 

while not necessarily the most physical (as in physical contact)... its hard to compete with the endurance of a soccer player

 

I don't think anyone questioned the toughness of a hockey player. And if you need to be tough to be a hockey player, why does everyone call Syd and Malkin out for being cry babies. Do you recall the top 3 this year...Geno, Ovech, Crosby.

I don't think Syd could stand in a ring with an NFL Kicker. But you can bet your ass he can outscore 99.9999999% of the NHL players in the league.


Hockey is amazing (stick handling, hand/eye coord, reaction time, teamwork, etc). It just doesn't capture my interest like football.


Anyway, this is a NHL thread so let's get back on topic. PENS WON THEIR FIRST OF FOUR!!!!!!!

 

As my XC coach said when we would mention about the football players to try to run a 5k, "You train for the sport that you are in, the training in one is not the same for another." These athletes work to be the best in their sport though Hockey players are tough phsically for what is needed (the unexpected hits). Football players work so their tough for the duration for the play.

 

Well, scratch my back with a hacksaw! Although I love football more, I do hope so.

 

Anyway all that other Athlete stuff aside... lets stay on topic about the damn playoffs.. I predict tonight we'll take it ... I dont think the Malkin / Crosby duo can handle us... GO WINGS..!!!!

 

As a duo...probably not. As a whole team...they've already shown they can handle you.

They'll do it again tonight and tie up the series.


It was once predicted:
"The flightless bird of white and black will be the downfall of the big red wheel with wings." ~Nostradamus, 1552

 

Refs again with the no-calls. I guess it's better than a game full of penalties. At least there were freebies given to both teams.

Pens took care of business and showed the wings what they are capable of. Keep up play like this and the cup is ours! Now it's off to Detroit to do what we couldn't do last year!
