Around the NHL: We Really Like It, We Want Moar Playoffs!!!

[Paulie Walnutz]

Malkin and Bergeron fighting. Crosby being a little b*** shoving Chara only when the ref is there to protect him. He nicks Rask in the stomach and tries to start a fight.

Someone needs to break his jaw or something. What a despicable person... Blegh

Honestly, I'd try to if I played against him. He's fair game, you know his jaw is weak go for it. Is it dirty yes, but if Crosby's initiating a scrum all bets are off

 

[mike14]

Both boarding plays were stupid plays and both players deserve to go.

3rd period should be epic!

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Pittsburgh is such a ******* organization from the top down.

"Tough hockey". My ass.

 

[BB58]

Joke of a fight, Nash gets two in on Malkin who doesn't hit back until Nash misses a punch and falls down.

Tonight all Malkin did was sucker Bergeron with gloves on and then grab Bergeron and slam him down, no fighting.

Nash should be embarrassed. Malkin LOL.

 

[Riverdale]

How anybody can not root for the Bruins is beyond me. I was bitter after the NYR elimination, but I really hope the B's crush these guys.

 

[Kershaw]

Bruins sending off Bergeron might be a worse trade-off for them. We'll see how it goes.

 

[NikC]

The Penguins are infuriating. Things aren't going their way so they start fighting everyone. Crosby is cheap shotting Chara all game, Crosby shoving Rask when he's going to the bench, Malkin punching Bergeron in the face when they were just shoving. The list goes on. Hate Torts all you want, but one thing he was 100% right about was his description of the Penguins.

And those fans...jesus just because someone on your team went down doesn't mean it's a penalty. And the Marchand hit wasn't as bad as the Cooke hit.

I'm 100% rooting for the Bruins here.

pens showing balls... this is hockey or golf? Tough Torts never would allow the rangers to do this....

 

[mike14]

Wow. Nash got wrecked.

Only cos Malkin threw his shots while Nash was on his knees

 

[LeetchisGod]

Wow. Nash got wrecked.

We lead the league in incredibly soft big guys. Are there three guys bigger and softer than Nash, Boyle and Pyatt in the league?

Somewhat true.

 

[Swedish Fish]

Rask is the last goalie I would want piss off lol, dudes got a short fuse.

weren't the Rangers near the top of the league in fighting majors in 11-12?

 

[NikC]

Somewhat true.

yea. never understood why we couldn't be more physically assertive. Looking forward to that hopefully changing.

 

[NikC]

weren't the Rangers near the top of the league in fighting majors in 11-12?

who knows. Prust fought everyone. we need to have a handful of guys that can play and throw hands.

Dorsett plus hopefully McIlrath and Torres...

 

[OrbitalDynamics]

Gamesmanship on the part of the Tankers,see if Bruins bite the hook.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Boarding players, suckering players with your gloves on, and getting in the face of this opposing goalie is not tough hockey.

It's chicken**** hockey.

 

[BB58]

gonna be interesting 3rd period........

 

[Kershaw]

LOL!

Revisionist theory at its finest.

The Rangers traded their balls or let go off them via FA last year.

How does Crosby not get a penalty?

 

[Kakko]

What's not to like about Crosby? Herp derp

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Nash should be embarrassed. Malkin LOL.

Embarrassed by what? Neither of them are fighters. He got two shots in on Malkin, got spun up and went for a third shot and fell down. Then Malkin started punching him, when he was on his knees and with his jersey over his head. Despite how it looks, it's not as bad as I've seen people make it out to be.

pens showing balls... this is hockey or golf? Tough Torts never would allow the rangers to do this....

Balls? Balls are going out playing hard and physical. What balls does it show for Crosby to go over to Rask and shove him? or to hide behind the ref and shove Chara? LOL

 

[NikC]

LOL!

Revisionist theory at its finest.

The Rangers traded their balls or let go off them via FA last year.

haha yea right. Prust fought everyone. Dubinsky fought occasionally...

who else? in general we've always been too mild.

 

[mike14]

who knows. Prust fought everyone. we need to have a handful of guys that can play and throw hands.

Dorsett plus hopefully McIlrath and Torres...

well, having checked, I know we lead the league with 65

I agree we need to be tougher, but doesn't leading the team in fights for a season show that Torts doesn't mind playing 'tough'? People seem to have short memories

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Boarding players, suckering players with your gloves on, and getting in the face of this opposing goalie is not tough hockey.

A thousand times this.

 

[Kershaw]

According to hockeyfights, they decided Malkin won the fight 90.4%.

I have to agree with the majority. Malkin beat him up pretty good.
