Around The NHL (Part XL)

[Loff]

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

Can't glove the puck down in the D-zone, I believe it was.

 

[JCrusher*]

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

that doesnt mean a thing. Philly is playing so bad that pee wee player could score on them lol

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

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

it will be tougher and more physical that is for sure...better defense as well.............and much better goaltending

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

"Glove save made by Fleury!"

right after a PING! that the entirety of Pennsylvania could hear.

 

[Kane One]

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

Then in that scenario Pierre was talking about, how could that have been a penalty? Crosby would have batted it down, not cover it, or is that a penalty too?

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Guys, it hasn't even been a full period.

 

[Boruto]

hockeyyyyy

 

[Kakko]

He was saying that Crosby punched it away instead of grabbing it

 

[BroadwayBlues]

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.

Only place the Rangers need to upgrade is 3rd C. I would love for Boyle to be that 4th C.

This pretty much the same team as last year. Upgrades are Pyatt over Feds, Kreider/Hagelin over Dubinsky.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

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

There's a reason why the channel is called NBC... Nothing But Crosby...

Well they replaced the 4some of Feds, Dubi, Anisimov, Prust... with Nash, Pyatt, Kreider, Asham. Huge upgrade if ya ask me.

Same team as last year? Last year we didnt have a 5 time all-star in his prime. also we replaced all the guys we lost pretty well. Marc staal is healthy too

 

[Kane One]

Is it just me or does NBC, NBCN, and NHLN seem change their set every year?

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

First period of Philly/Pitt was one of the sloppiest excuses for NHL hockey I have seen. Turrible.

 

[Uncle Sid]

LOL yea, that sounds about right

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Ugh, I didn't miss Milbury.

 

[Boruto]

we still have holes to fill. Aside from Nash, we downgraded in losing Feds, Prust, Dubie etc. we need more depth down C.

This team has journeyman Anton Stralman on the 2nd pairing.

And ECHL player Stu Bickel on the bottom pairing.

They desperately need another minute munching defenseman, an upgrade over Stralman.

 

[JCrusher*]

The point is we are a better team. Our only weakness was offense and now that is solved

 

[Krams]

Not sure I agree. Pyatt cancels out Fedotenko, Asham replaces Prust, and Kreider replaces Dubinsky.

 

[BBKers]

Very sloppy first. Pens dominated 1st 10 minutes. Not sure what to say really.Bryz should have had the 2nd goal, but made a few real good saves. Fluery got lucky with the post. Malkin looked sharper than Crosby i thought. Hartnell was way off with his timing. Like the Grossman hit on Sindy

Stralman was pretty much fantastic last year, after he got settled in.

 

[Boruto]

Just a continuation of the playoffs

 

[JCrusher*]

Im getting so tired of Crosby. Cant wait for tomorrow when MSG taunts him lol

 

[Kershaw]

Stralman was pretty much fantastic last year, after he got settled in.

In my opinion, Stralman is best suited to play on the 3rd pair, not the 2nd.
