I was jut catching up on a story from PHI/PIT game one where someone asked Bylsma about the Briere goal where he was offsides. Bylsma quickly replied..."that's not why we lost the game". Cool move Dan. He knows the truth.

Definitely give Bylsma props for that

but not Cindy

"It affected the game," Sidney Crosby said.

Briere scored a goal while offside, one goal can win a game so I feel Crosby was accurate in his comment.

The pens scored after a missed icing call
Not to mention many other non calls on both sides
Sounds like sour grapes

Without seeing the whole context of Crosby's comment, I don't know if it's really accurate to paint him a whiner or having sour grapes in this case. After all, he didn't go on some tirade like Laviolette did and get fined for it. One sentence, that is true. Big deal.

Come on boys, lets do this.

 

[MJ5150]

Whoa....I looked away for a second and it's 1-0, Crosby!!!!!!

Big hits, big hits. This is going to get ugly. Someone is going to get hurt.

Oh yuck, I turned on the audio of the NBC broadcast, and they got some guy who does NFL games calling this one. Back to Mike Lange and the Pens app.

I have to believe Philly is just laughing right now......"take that goal, and you can even have two more. We'll put the pressue on in about 30 minutes and youn'z will crumble like a house of cards". Hopefully the Pens are up for the challenge tonight.

-Mike

 

[Darth Handsome]

One more goal and Philly's got 'em right where they want 'em......

 

[MJ5150]

I'm in the chat room if anyone is interested.

I don't know how I feel right now. It felt like Philly came out hitting and playing hard, but those defensive lapses really hosed Bryzgalov. Kunitz missed on the coast to coast, but that was crazy seeing all the Philly guys just watching him.

Giroux just tied it up on the power play. I don't watch as much Flyers hockey as a lot of you guys, but I don't believe I've ever seen Voracek attack the net with the puck as much as he has this game. I wonder if getting that OT goal in the last game has inspired him.

 

[MJ5150]

He did?

Edit...you must be ahead of me. Just saw the tying goal.


Edit edit....Kunitz with the easy peezy goal. Bryz is pissed.

-Mike

I was going to post about it being tied up but I didn't post it fast enough. lol. Ok boys, everyone knows the third period is ours. Lets tie this up going into intermission.

 

[MJ5150]

It looks like I won't be getting any 1-0 or 2-1 games that I like so much in this series. Bryzgalov and Fleury are both off, and their respective defenses aren't doing them any favors.

Anybody catch this?

Pane Of Glass Falls on Boston Bruins Forward David Krejci (April 12 2012) - YouTube

HOLY CRAP!!!! I watched the game and the wrap up and they never showed that incident that I can recall. Good thing he had a helmet on. I'll bet he had a headache this morning. Lets hope he's OK going forward. Considering the stick he took in the mouth from slimebag Beagle last night and then THAT pane of glass falling on his head at the end of the game, Krejci had a rough game last night. He didn't skate at today's practice... Julien thought it wise to hold him out because Krejci had a stiff neck but David said he'd be fine for tomorrow's game.

Called it. lol

Someone....please play some defense. Anyone.

[mkandolf]

I love playoff hockey! So unpredictable!

 

[Broadstbully22]

Someone....please play some defense. Anyone.

-Mike

Whats defense?

 

[Lonesomedave]

well, @ 9 minutes to go and it's not looking good for the home team...

man, i have got to say, Detroit has absolutely the best penalty kill I have ever seen. it's like their playing even up. you don't feel that they are going to get a shorty on you, but Nashville has never even looked close to scoring on their penalties.
