Around the League '15-'16--Is it Summer Yet? Edition

[LAKings88]

Sid's on a mission, let's go pens.

 

[The Night King]

That was a terrible offside call against the pens.

Amazed at the pens inability to finish. Should have about 6 goals.

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

Would be okay with the Pens winning, but I'm still rooting for the Sharks here.

 

[LAKings88]

I like Pavelski and Burns but I hate the Sharks.

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

I get it. It's like it's okay if I pound on my obnoxious little brother, but I don't necessarily want guys from another neighborhood to pound on him.

I get it. It's like it's okay if I pound on my obnoxious little brother, but I don't necessarily want guys from another neighborhood to pound on him.

"I can criticize my own team. But I will get offended if you say the same thing about my team."

Typical mentality of a sports fan.

 

[The Night King]

Ugh... and the playoffs continue ...

 

[Little Psycho]

I guess pens have to win on the road

 

[kingsfan28]

Sharks are just barely hanging on. Let's see for how long.

The Pens did nothing after killing that late penalty. Never got control and turned it over on the EN goal.

 

[TonySCV]

It'll probably go seven. Sharks losing game 7 would be the sharkiest way to shark.

 

[kingsfan28]

Really surprised the EN goal wasn't challenged. We've seen much less challenged and what's do you have to lose?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Goaltending was the difference in Game 6, and this game was decided in the 1st period. Jones stood on his head while Murray let his team down.

Getting blown out would be even better.

 

[kingsfan28]

Somewhere in Pitt, a guy paid 5 grand or more to see the Pens not win the cup on home ice.

Hey, no prognosticating!

They had already used their timeout did they not?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Hey, no prognosticating!

Whoops, thinking ahead there. Speaking of Game 6, hate having to wait until Sunday to watch it.

They had already used their timeout did they not?

They used their timeout after a stoppage after the empty net goal had been scored.

It is with great sadness that the Canadiens have learned the passing of hockey legend Gordie Howe. #9RIP\

Rest in Peace, Gordie, one the best to ever lace a pair of skates.

I hope some millionaire/billionaire took a sample of his DNA for future reference......

that's a really weird thing to say haha. he has sons that would have his DNA.

Howe was amazing but he would be suspended constantly in todays game.

RIP Gordie.

It always amazes me that a lanky guy like Gretzky turned out to be one of the most dominant hockey players ever. The guy does not look built for the game, but I guess his hockey IQ more than made up for that.

Yep. Gretzky is the closest thing we'll ever have to a Mozart or Beethoven of hockey. He simply saw the game at a different speed. That's one of the reasons he ever got hit. Because of his genius with vision and prediction, he was playing on full speed, and everyone else was on x0.5.
