The Official 2012 NHL Stanely Cup Finals Thread

Any of you guys listen to hockey on the radio? Just this season, I started listening to most Pens games via the Android app. I even found the Bruins on the local radio station and tuned that in. I really like it.

Pens hockey on radio >>> on TV. Give me Lang and the ole 2-9er any day over Errey and Steigerwald.

Hahaha. Again I will say to you glass houses. You need to read your own posts. Heres the facts, the nhl felt the pens needed disciplinary actions,the pens will be missing three players in the playoffs because of thier actions, the flyers are in thier heads and they are falling apart, and its 3 games to 0. Game 4 in Philly. The rest means nothing.

I agree with all of that, so I have no idea what you are arguing.

Awesome.

Last 4 penalties all to Nashville? Yep, we're in Detroit.

I want one of those shirts.

Wow Rinne is on fire.

And was any one of them not a penalty? Nashville is a clutch and grab team, that's their style. OTOH, congrats you played a good game. Rinne is a beast, but Detroit sure blew some chances.

One more facet of Philly outdoing Pburgh... Pens SOLD boring white shirts while Flyers gave away orange shirts. That's pretty awesome.

Rinne stole this one. He faced 40 shots to howards 17. And the pressure detroit put on him.

yeah, the "too many men on the ice" was REALLY bogus.

but good game...not over by a long shot, but at last i feel that we are a favorite to win...

These hits are getting out of control.

Word on the street is that Neal is getting a one game suspension and Asham is getting four.

The amounts may not even matter if the Pens season ends tomorrow.

In other news, Alfredsson is looking like he won't be in Game 4 either. I feel bad too, hopefully he won't be suffering from concussion symptoms for too long.

 

[Lazarus.Bird]

Hossa taken out of the game on a stretcher. Really don't like to see that. I expect a big suspension coming for Torres. He should have been given a misconduct someone might try to kill him.

 

[mkandolf]

They just announced it... Neal 1 game, Asham 4.

Rinne stole this one. He faced 40 shots to howards 17. And the pressure detroit put on him.

Rinne is the reason I think Nashville will get to the Finals.

Hey, don't forget, we had the real Hulk Hogan, too!

I would imagine the suspension will carry over to next year and will take a bite out of his wallet - 4 games is almost 5% of the season. On his current salary of $775,000 that is $37,800.

Torres had the dirtiest hit I've seen this playoffs. Guy needs banned hard. This is getting out of control.

 

[MJ5150]

I really like Marian Hossa, so it was tough to watch what happened to him.

Who knows what tonights game will bring in Philly, but if it's more over the top violence, I think I'll check out from watching any more games this season. Maybe some guys out there like this style of hockey, but I sure don't. Besides the players and coaches on the offending teams, the NHL needs to apologize for the play we have seen so far. Then they need to get serious and ban these guys from the playoffs. James Neal one game? What a joke that is. The Giroux hit was clearly a targeted attempt to injure.

Great stories are developing in Florida, Nashville, and Phoenix, but hardly anyone knows about it. Too bad.
