[Oleophobic]

[EmperorIS]

mark my words ... putting schieds in is gonna be a bad move

[Renthal]

wtf why toss letang and timonen??


oooo shit… asham too

[rsx]

great game!

[Pooface55]

Lol its only 1st period and this game is better than canucks gm 1and 2 combined

[cliffhanger33]

Lol man all of the games are better than the canucks' :(

[kristianhay]

I don't know how anyone can still say the Canucks are the most hated team in the league. The Pens are fucking dirty and filled with a bunch of pussys.

[TRDood]

Wow, 3v1 goal

Edit: ohly shit

[Verdasco]

pull the fucking goalie already holy fuck 4-2 now in 1st period

edit: while typing this, ray ferraro says the same thing. TERRIBLE GOALS... especially the first one where he missed the cover up -_-

[cliffhanger33]

HOLYYY

Back and forth goals

[Verdasco]

Dam 3-2

no it is 4-2

nice ninja :lawl:

[EmperorIS]

holy SHiett FLYERS 4-2

[Durrann]

Pens coach no confidence in backup?

[van19]

Fluery is brutal. Imagine the heat Luongo would get if he played like this.

[cliffhanger33]

no it is 4-2

nice ninja :lawl:

I just realized the moment I posted XD

[bballguy]

How can you guys call this a great game? This game is fucking stupid....Pens are so dumb...
If NHL series were like movies, every other series is like good bad ugly, godfather, etc, and then this pens-flyers series is like dumb and dumber...

[JD¹³]

NHL is officially out of control IMO. This Flyers Penguins game is hardly a hockey game any more. In the last 2-3 years I have never seen so many cheapshots, there's a LOT of headhunting going on throughout the league. Players have no respect anymore, they're killing eachother out there.

I'm all for tough physical hockey as long as it's clean. But with Shanahan's brutally inconsistent disciplinary system even good clean hits are punished more heavily than blatant intent to injure cheapshots. The NHL is fucking retarded now.

And Asham's a fucking coward.

[cliffhanger33]

Mannn fleury is shatting the bed this series

This game is a mess

I won't be surprised if pens are in a 0-3 deficit

[Pooface55]

End to end non stop.:fuckyea: Reminds me of old school hockey.

It's not even just Shanahan...It's every fucking referee...Inconsistency throughout the entire league.

[Verdasco]

"THAT'S FUCKED UP" anyone hear that on TSN thru ray's mic? LOL

[Verdasco]

It's not even just Shanahan...It's every fucking referee...Inconsistency throughout the entire league.

u dumb? the refs are doing so much already. They are giving 2 -5 games for stuff like this. THey need more! :rukidding:

[kristianhay]

Yeah, the reffing has been an absolute joke throughout the entire playoffs.

That was the longest first period ever, Flyers are showing a lot of heart and Pens reinforcing that they are scum. Fleury is choking hard.

[cliffhanger33]

What a gong show

Pull fleury he has no rebound control

[Mr.HappySilp]

3-1 flyers

4 -2 now....
man if we can play like the flyers we will win for sure. They play like they want the cup while we play like The Giants......:heckno::heckno::heckno:

[Vale46Rossi]

First period gong show eh?

[kristianhay]

Christ.

Jesse Spector
Six goals, 72 penalty minutes, three ejections. First period took 56 minutes. #Flyers 4 (Talbot, Briere 2, Read), #Pens 2 (Staal, Neal)

[Pooface55]

First period gong show eh?

I would call it "playoff hockey".

[cliffhanger33]

Canucks play like absolute amateurs
Can't even complete a simple pass
We HAVE to step it up tonight

[spideyv2]

Fuuu missing the game at work. I heard schenn got cross checked in the throat then punched while he was down?

[rsx]

How can you guys call this a great game? This game is fucking stupid....Pens are so dumb...

It's a great game because of the amount of passion both teams are showing. Fans appreciate that. It's not like they staged a fight, all the emotions that boiled over are from resulting plays. I rather see this than a bunch of players diving and looking at the ref for calls.:accepted:

[cliffhanger33]

Hope Philly scores 10

Malkin needs someone to Get his ass handed to him

[Not really racist!]

Shanny better hand out some suspensions...this is the playoffs not the fucking rodeo.

Gongshow... where players just wanna hurt eachother

[cliffhanger33]

Lol I missed it but one of the flyers called Crosby a weasel on national tv lolol

[Liquid_o2]

Schneider gets the call tonight according to nhl.com

NHL.com - Schneider gets the call in Game 3 for Vancouver - Canucks vs Kings - 2012 Stanley Cup Conference Quarterfinals (http://www.nhl.com/ice/blogpost.htm?id=8645)

[Not really racist!]

When Crosby was in the box all I heard/mouth him say was, "you're a fucking pussy"

[jeedee]

Lol I missed it but one of the flyers called Crosby a weasel on national tv lolol

It was a TSN analyst not a flyer lol

I think it was Crawford

[cressydrift]

I never get this theory of Lu having his "confidence become shittier if Schneider starts"

People are talking as if putting in Schneider for Lou
will somehow shatter Lou's confidence and wreck
this team. No way. It's about winning and it always
has been. I bet you that if you asked Lou if he'd
rather start the rest of the games and lose in the
playoffs, or win the cup on the bench, he'd choose
the latter. I think he's old enough and wise enough
to know better.

The Canucks kept Schneider for the postseason and its time to use him. Lou played a great game in game 1, a decent game in 2, but let's face it. The Canucks have enough trust in Schneider and play a differently (better game IMO) when he's in net.

Wouldn't be surprised if he's starting tonight.

So I guess at your work (think of yourself) when you do a really good job, and do your best but something bad happens despite your best effort, and your boss decides to suspend you then you wouldn't care?

I know nothing about Luongo personally. Scratch that, I know nothing about any of the players personally. I know though what its like to be human, and that would piss me off. This is a stupid move not giving the chance for him to rebound. If they win tonight with Schneider, I know that Lu could have given them the W easily. If they lose tonight, I think it will be the second dumbest decision by AV.

[Not really racist!]

It was a TSN analyst not a flyer lol

I think it was Crawford

whoever has a vid please post
lmao

[sh0n]

I'm loving the Flyers Pens Series.

Old school hockey at the greatest.

This series by far the best series so far in 2012 playoffs.

I'm loving the Flyers and from what I'm seeing I think they go on to win it. No team in Playoffs right now is anywhere near them.

[cliffhanger33]

It was a TSN analyst not a flyer lol

I think it was Crawford

Ohh dam

Someone link us the vid :lol

WHAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?!?!? IT'S NOT ABOUT LOU OR SCHNEIDER! IT'S ABOUT THE GUYS IN FRONT OF THE GOALIE!! THE GUYS IN FRONT, MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, PLAY BETTER WHEN SCHNEIDER IS BEHIND THEM INSTEAD OF LOU! DOES THIS MAKE SENSE? HOW MANY TIMES IS THIS GOING TO NEED TO BE SAID??

Luongo knows he's played great and that nobody is putting the blame on him right now. He knows the team needs a shake-up and if that shake-up means putting in the goalie who has been just as good as him in net instead, then he will understand that and accept that. This is fucking hockey. If you have a problem with your boss giving a task originally assigned for you to someone else because that someone else might be better fit at the time, then you are fucking selfish.

[TRDood]

I think the argument is about getting a win doing whatever possible. AV has changed the lines up (sort of) but nothing seems to work. The next option to explore would be changing up the goalie.

I don't agree with AV's lines placement and D pairings sometimes. But the current players in front of the goalie cannot get any worse. 2 SHGs is unacceptable.

So I guess at your work (think of yourself) when you do a really good job, and do your best but something bad happens despite your best effort, and your boss decides to suspend you then you wouldn't care?

[cliffhanger33]

^^ chill the fuck out lolol

Yes. Agreed; our main goal is to win and that's it

Both lu and schn are chill about this. I don't care what they feel we have to win

[GrapeDrink]

^ But I also think its a 7 game series, there isn't time for luongo to figure his shit(I don't think the move is really about luongo being bad but he wasn't amazing in game 2 either), its just a shakeup, players play differently in front of different goalies imo, and lets not forget cory at least statistically speaking had been outperforming luongo anyways, its not like they putting in some career backup bum.

[cliffhanger33]

Who would win in a fight?

Jagr vs Malkin :lol

[Renthal]

asham's hit..

Arron Asham / Brayden Schenn incident. April 15th 2012 - YouTube

[cliffhanger33]

It's been 9 minutes and no goals

I'm surprised

[Renthal]

wowww… that was a dirty knee by grossman

[jeedee]

Who would win in a fight?

Jagr vs Malkin :lol

Malkin

Jagr's too old :lawl:

[murd0c]

It's been 9 minutes and no goals

I'm surprised

happy now?

[DsZ24]

and it's a 1 goal game again

[Pooface55]

So good.

Knee should be more then 2min

[murd0c]

Malkin

Jagr's too old :lawl:

Jagr would dummy Malkin, in a hockey fight its all about experience.

[Ronin]

Total cheap shot by Asham on Schenn. What a load of garbage. Kid makes a great hit. Not blindside, all north-south, keeps his elbows and stick down, goes straight at the chest and not the head. Asham douches this one...should've just challenged the guy to a fight.

...am I crazy or is this a good case for the instigator rule?

[rsx]

Not a very good analogy. Hockey's a team sport, any real teammate would know that everything is for the greater good. Luongo knows he didn't play like ass, but the players in front of him did. Coach decided to make the change to switch the dynamic up and as a teammate and one of the leaders Luongo is more than likely to support this decision.

[cliffhanger33]

BAck to a two goal game

[DsZ24]

not for long :P

[rsx]

Lol back to 1

[murd0c]

now back to a 1 goal game!!

[Pooface55]

Craziness. 5-4 philly

[cliffhanger33]

I'm jealous of Philly powerplay unit

[cliffhanger33]

LOL wow back and forth goals again

[badgerx3]

damn this phi vs. pitt series is so fun to watch

[Gh0stRider]

[kristianhay]

Neal better keep his head up. Two dirty hits.

[cliffhanger33]

Crosby such a prick

[Gh0stRider]

[rsx]

Neal tries a forearm to G's head, starts a scrum. G looked rattled for a second there. no good for a guy with concussion problems.

[Vale46Rossi]

Flyers got this one, Crosby is good but a fucking faggot.

Fun game to watch.

[Tim Budong]

I think i just read Brieres lips, "i cant take this fucking bullshit anymore"

hahahaha

[RiceIntegraRS]

what a gong show

[TRDood]

fuck!

LAKERS OT. That means the ice will be shitty later with the rushed switchover.

[kristianhay]

Bugs me Crosby goes around doing whatever he wants because he's a fucking princess. Starts shit with X amount of players and can't back it up.

[bballguy]

Did I just see Adams pulling Hartnell's hair.....?

[HonestTea]

This game is intense!

[Tim Budong]

[TRDood]

[cliffhanger33]

I think all Neal will get is a $2500 fine

[Tim Budong]

k lakers win...

clear the stadium and change this shit so we dont get bad ice

doesnt matter, ice will be bad even if they clear the arena

heres the first scrum from the Ptt/Phi game

http://youtu.be/E_5_D29bdFg

[bballguy]

The way the we've been playing, shitty ice would probably even work in our favour...

[trancehead]

neal such a scumbag
same with aron asham

philly has some sick young guns and claude giroux is a real force. hes not backing down from the greasy shit too, which is part of the playoffs.

notice how theres little to no diving in this game...
ive watched too much canucks hockey and im way too accustomed to it

[Tim Budong]

This is Flyers hockey
get in your head and beat u mentally and physically

[HonestTea]

3 HOURS and 30 minutes left!!!!!!!!

So is there a consensus that we like the type of hockey being played in the Flyers-Pens series?

Are we okay with the way games are being called in the regular season vs. the playoffs? Granted, that there is more compete level in the playoffs, a lot more being let go.

It's no secret here that I've never been a fan of Crosby, never liked him because of how much he whines and acts like a brat, but now after watching the 1st 3 games of this series closely, I can't stand him, it now goes beyond hate. Such a weasely dirty puke that whines and moans all day.

I like the way the flyers-pens series and its some entertaining hockey. But the Canucks wont survive all this physical play, we will come out looking like little girls. Perfect example was the series against the Bruins.

[MR_BIGGS]

Only way for Canucks to survive a series where there is a lot of stuff after the whistle is to have a deadly PP going. Cost them last year, and will likely cost them this series if they don't get it going.

I like teams where there best players don't mind getting involved in the greasy stuff. That being said, I respect the Canucks top guys, but there style does not lend itself to how the games are being called in the playoffs.

[MR_BIGGS]

Hagelin got 3 games for his hit on Alfie and Carkner gets 1 game. I think Asham will get 3 games for his.

Does Neal get anything for his blindside hit on Couturier?

[pastarocket]

Giroux is a beast! A skilled player who isn't afraid to show toughness and fight the opposition. Philly is really fortunate to have this player on their team. Impressive Flyers victory.

Who would have thought that Philly has scored SIXTEEN goals in past two games against Penguins? I know that the Flyers have offensive firepower, but sixteen goals?

Other than puck handling which may be a huge issue against LA, I rly think Schneider can steal this game for us

[Noir]

Obvious of course, but Schneider is officially starting

Here's hoping he goes on a crazy roll, and takes us all the way :fuckyea:

And after that, goodbye Lu! Have fun in Tampa! Schneider era has begun :fuckyea:

One can dream :alone:

:lol

I'm a Schneider fan and I'm just taking it one thing at a time. I'm just hoping he can buy us the next two games and put us on even footing.

[MR_BIGGS]

Here's to hoping Schneider pulls off what Cam Ward did in 2006. Canes were down 2-0 to Habs and to shake things up, the coach put in Ward to replace Gerber and we all know what happened...






The Oilers loss the cup.

:troll::lawl:

[SkinnyPupp]

Schneider has been waiting his whole career for this. This is his chance to take it and run with it. If he fails, he'll be shipped out to the east coast.

LET'S GO SCHNEIDER!

[MR_BIGGS]

So Craig Adams received an instigator in the final 5 mins of PIT-PHI. That's auto 1 game suspension for him and $10K fine for the coach.

[cliffhanger33]

Tons of pressure on Schneider

Full faith in him

[SkinnyPupp]

Fuck I hate how Team 1040 and CKNW both play ads at the same time :fuuuuu:

[cliffhanger33]

Panthers up 3-1 in third period

[ForbiddenX]

3 -2 now

[Mike Oxbig]

seeing giroux standing up for the team makes me wish we had more canadians on our team.

[cliffhanger33]

Scott Hartnell's comment on the game:
"They were going after a couple of our guys' heads. It's scary when it comes down to that level," he said. "You ask the best player in the world, Sidney Crosby, what they're thinking over there: 'That's playoff hockey?'
"For me, that's not playoff hockey, that is dangerous hockey. They were just trying to hurt people."

How is Pratt on CKNW? Haven't heard much "local" sports radio lately.

[SkinnyPupp]

How is Pratt on CKNW? Haven't heard much "local" sports radio lately.
He's pretty much just the interviewer now...

[Mike Oxbig]

pens are 100% done. They think going after their skilled player will set the tone, they are wrong. By doing this it just piss them off even more to unleash their potential to peak. (See Vancouver Canucks game 1. Booth hit on doughty and lappy coming in to trash talk)

[Gh0stRider]

its raining rats in florida

[TRDood]

What an ending by the fans in Florida.

Do they play in the same arena as Miami Heat?

[Greenstoner]

I hope Schneider doesn't cramp out tonight

[Mike Oxbig]

What an ending by the fans in Florida.

Do they play in the same arena as Miami Heat?

No, Panthers play in sunrise florida. About 45 min apart

[Not really racist!]

believe in blue .

[bballguy]

Hagelin got 3 games for his hit on Alfie and Carkner gets 1 game. I think Asham will get 3 games for his.


That's fucking ridiculous the Carkner play was 10X WORSE than Hahelin's hit on Alfie....Alfie had to leave the game though while Brian Boyle was fine....Again, the punishment is completely based on the outcome of the hits...Fucking garbage system.

[cliffhanger33]

GO CANUCKS GO!!! Give us a win tonight boys!

[SkinnyPupp]

Here we go! This is the season right here

[AzNightmare]

What are they even chanting?
