....the Quest for Lord Stanley!!!!

I had a friend over for the first games…is a big deal to me…we had to go to the bar down the block…thank the maker they have FIOS :slight_smile:

I agree, it’s an ideal situation in NJ…we got NO ONE in the system (though goalies are a dime a dozen now), I wish we coulda traded Moose for Schenider at the deadline…it would have worked well for both teams…

I’m not an active hockey fan, but being a Pittsburgh native, all’s I need to know is “Let’s go Pens.”

I have peered into the future and my beloved 2011 Stanley Cup Champion Boston Bruins repeat.

That is all.

So it’s one night in…we’ve already had:
– a game changing goal that should have been offsides by a country mile…
– a hit from behind that was a major penalty and ejection
– Shea Weber using the glass like a turnbuckle to Zetterburg’s head…

and only 40% of the teams have started :smiley:

Shea Weber should have gotten a suspension not just a fine

Also, Helm is out for the playoffs with a lacerated forearm. He had surgery this morning

yeeeeeeeeeah predators!

Yotes are 33-1 this season when leading after 2 periods. This does not bode well.

Weber gives up $2500 to go Dwayne Johnson on someone’s face, and Bitz get’s a game misconduct plus two games for throwing an elbow. NHL is horrible for its unbalanced disciplinary measures. I’m not saying that Bitz’s hit was less egregious, he was really being malicious with his attack, but both these should have resulted in similar consequences.

Not to mention Bitz was ejected early in the game so it’s a 2 1/2 game suspension… they should have said that was enough… the thing with Weber is it deserved more then $2500…but I don’t think it was suspension worthy…they need something where they can suspend him for like the first period or something…what annoys me is the NHL office called to find out how Hank was doing before the tap on the wrist/glorified slap on the wrist, you don’t based penalties on injury…you base them on INTENT

…oh wait I was wrong (picked Chi and Van, though I wanted to pick LA :stuck_out_tongue: )…thank Gawd :smiley:

using someone’s head as a basketball deserves at least a game at the very least penalties should carry over in injury situations.

Bettman should be embarassed by the calling in that game, ti was horrendous on both sides & he was in the damn building.

Maybe if he didn’t get booed every time he’s in Detroit you’d have gotten a fair call?

All according to plan!

Where DOESN’T Bettman get boo’ed??? It’s one of the great NHL Traditions to see his ass boo’ed when he comes out to hand the Stanley Cup to the winner!

They’re done. Good game guys. I’ll start rootin’ for Devils, or maybe Phili. What’s up with Phili hustlin’? I know it’s only two games in and I’m just being a bandwagoneer, but holy geez, 8 goals in two periods? They got this years cup.

Plenty of room on the NJ bandwagon :smiley:

It’s amazing how people overlooked the Flyers and went OMG THE PENGUINS ARE THE SUPER TEAM, totally ignoring inconsistent goaltending and how good the Flyers are…then again this is why I call it the Nothing But Crosby Network…

The best thing to happen to Vancouver is being on the road for the next 4-6 days…

Don’t get me started on Sindy & his fan club

By all means…this is the proper place for it :slight_smile:

What’s been funny is I’m being psuedo-stalked by some local lady on Facebook for the last week so I keep posting Crosby bashing calling him Cindy and the stalker is taking it personally cause her name is Cindy :smiley:

Crazy that only 4 goals will be scored in the first 2 games of the Caps and Bruins…

And the Rangers/Sens game starts out with a BANG…fights, misconducts…CHAOS…God I love this time of the year :slight_smile:

AWESOME effort out of Nashville today, they really are starting to look like the better team…

Did you guys see that onetime from Philly a few minutes ago? So fucking pretty. If I didn’t hate the Flyers I’d be rooting for them

EVERYONE’S rooting for Phily…as long as it’s Pittsburgh they’re playing…heh

I figured out what the Devils series seems so dull compared to all the others…it’s the one series with ZERO hatred between the teams, and it needs some BADLY, even the St Louis/San Jose series is building some healthy hatred as the games are going on…

That Pitt/Phily game Sunday might have been the most amazing 3 hour hockey…or sports…experience I ever had!!
