Around The NHL (Part XL)

[Clown Fiesta]

Yup, this is nothing new. I had to mute my TV for a few minutes. The amount of Crosby dick riding that occurs on NBC makes me sick

Exactly why I can't watch those two teams play. "Analysts" are calling Philly an elite team in the east which is totally laughable. Only two elite teams left in the east and that's us and the Pens.

Ice it on the PP? I thought the Rangers are playing at 7

 

[Kane One]

We only finished 1 pt ahead of them and they didn't have Crosby for 3/4 of the season. They are still very much the favorites.

And we got Nash. Those Cup favorites lost in the first round. Our only problem in the playoffs was scoring, and we just fixed that. Pittsburgh didn't fix anything, and arguably got worse.

Hahaha so true.

Sloppy clearing attempt by WPG and OTT ties it, Pavelec's 5-hole looked worse than Biron's. Michalek scored.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Hahaha so true.

Shoots wide is us

 

[Kakko]

I said last week that Philly could miss the playoffs. Still looks possible

It's very possible, the worst possible thing for Philly would be losing the first game, especially if Bryz gives up a softie or two. He will totally self destruct again.

Exactly. The pens have 2 stars no doubt about that but their defense is nothing like ours and we have the best goalie. Also our offense is much better with nash and a full season of kreider.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Well. Yep. Still hate the Pens.

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

Enstrom is a really good dman... id love it if Sather can somehow snag him whenever he is an UFA..

 

[Kane One]

I honestly didn't know they had a statue of Kate Smith. That's cool.

 

[Steve Kournianos]

Don't underestimate the Pens. Don't underestimate anyone. It's a short season. IMO there is no favorite in either conference.

 

[DutchShamrock]

Crosby will have less time to come back from his annual injury this season.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Well. Yep. Still hate the Pens.

I saw Crosby and was filled with hatred I didn't know I was capable of feeling.

Good to have hockey back.

Agreed. I don't underestimate any of them but I certainly do get annoyed hearing how awesome they are

 

[Kershaw]

Flyers look bad, but it hasn't even been 1 period.

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

Flyers look awful today so far.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Shots only 11-3? Looks like the Pens have 30.

 

[Swedish Fish]

Flyers gettin worked by pitt right now.

 

[JCrusher*]

the flyers look soft and horrible. The Pens will have a much tougher day tomorrow

 

[Kane One]

I know this is late, but what was that new hand-pass rule or whatever that Pierre was talking about before?

 

[Boruto]

I meant favorite because of scoring w/o their stars.

Also,

Was too busy trying to figure out if every hockey site is stucky or my wifi

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

Evander Kane is awesome... a little immature but is young... with the right coaching he will breakout.

 

[Swedish Fish]

Another pp for philly

 

[Kakko]

I know this is late, but what was that new hand-pass rule or whatever that Pierre was talking about before?

Covering the puck with your hand in the defensive zone is now a penalty. It's called the Karl Alzner rule
