2013-14 NHL Regular Season Thread: Second Period

[MovingPitchers]

Fleury is as good as luongo come playoffs. Both equally bad and unable to cope its the added pressure.

I guarantee Pittsburgh is gonna be out in the semi finals. They can't cope with a hot streaking bruins team.

And as for Toronto, have a nice early summer.

If the playoffs started today, the Pens would face the Blue Jackets with Bobrovski. They'll need Fleury playing at a high level for that series.

 

[MovingPitchers]

Columbus is on a roll. Ryan johansen got two goals in their victory over the red wings.

If the playoffs started today, that would be interesting.

It's the same thing every spring....Golf Leafs Golf!

The Pens recalled Megna. I like the move there.

Did I miss something? What makes the end priceless? I've seen guys end a fight by congratulating each other and such.

Because that's why hockey is badass. 2 guys can fight and then immediately hug it out.

Yeah. Kinda like in the Navy.

Flyers G prospect Stolarz suspended 8 games for slashing an opponent in the back of the head. A young Hextall in the making! Ron needs to work with him on it though, it was only a one hander.

 

[tastybasslines]

Dustin Brown on if he and Dustin Penner chirped at each other:
“No, the only thing I said to him was the best display of his hands was when he was picking up a piece of paper off the ice for the referees.”

LOL

Yeah, I thought that was pretty cool. First time I recall seeing two fighters go at it then kind of congratulate the other was Marty McSorely vs Bob Probert. When that marathon fight was over, Probert gave Marty a pat on the side of his head like, 'Good job, kid".

Nowadays with players miked from time to time, it's interesting to hear some of the chirping and sometimes friendly conversation that goes on.

I hate the Flyers, and their fans, and cheer for as much misfortune as possible. When I was a bouncer at Penn State, most of the kids I had to physically fight were from the Philly suburbs. Not saying there's no one like that from western PA, I just have a deeply ingrained detest for them.

I don't like Giroux, I kind of think he's a punk. But it's natural for me to hate the captain of the Flyers. That said, Simmonds is one of my favorite NHL players. He's the power forward I wish James Neal was. I would run circles around my house naked screaming at the top of my lungs if Simmonds ever ended up on the Penguins.

It's scary how much you and I think alike! LOL I loathe that team, and it ticks me off when a player I like ends up there (Forsberg, Roenick, Tocchet (again))

Oddly enough, growing up in Pittsburgh in the late 70's, I still hated the Flyers but my favorite player was none other than Bobby Clarke. Sure, he was dirty, but he also busted his a$$ on every single shift, and was one of the best leaders ever to play the game.

Good win by the Kings yesterday, although that no goal call was absolute BS! This Pens team is really missing Malkin, and if Goc is out for long... ouch. Looks like he broke his ankle. Watching the replay made me a little sick to my stomach.

 

[MovingPitchers]

I'm sick of every single sports channel talking about Crosby. Sure he's one of the bet players in the nhl, but no need to suck his you know what.

 

[Lazarus.Bird]

Lol, what are you talking about? What sports channel, aside from NHL network, even talks about hockey?

Btw, he's currently having a run away Hart trophy season, and is on pace to finish the points race with the largest margin between #1 and #2 in history, so of course he's being talked about.

 

[Darth Handsome]

In Canada? Uh, all of them.

 

[MovingPitchers]

Lol I know. But even when he has a and season or whatever, they somehow turn him into this inspirational hero.

Like in the conference final against Boston, he scored like one goal in the sweep but they somehow turned that into some kind of godly act. Sick of it. Patrick Kane could do better than him.
