GDT: Game #82. Pens in Philly. 3:30 pm Sat.

[Nakawick]

I can't remember a d-man having more trouble getting shots through than Lovejoy.

He needs to start shooting intentionally wide.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Does anyone really care?

I want Cullen to have as many goals as Kunitz or more.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Hopefully Olczyk has a good cry and a stiff drink at intermission so he can forget about the Fehr non-call that shouldn't have been a penalty anyway.

If he doesn't, we'll probably hear about it another 3 or 4 times.

 

[Daeni10]

Zatkoff inspires no confidence. Just a terrible goalie that looks terrible.

I actually dont think he is a bad goalie skillwise, but as you said he looks like he has 0 confidence and he isnt calm at all which is a must have as a goalie.

 

[TheSniper26]

Actually you are ignoring things I said. You keep talking about how deep in his crease Murray was but that's irrelevant because it is legal to be in the crease with possession of the puck. It was incidental contact and should not have been goaltender interference in my opinion. You disagree and that's fine.

But I have no trouble reading and I have no desire to waste anybody's time by trolling them.

So by this logic, a guy on a breakaway could cut across the crease and elbow the goalie in the head before putting the puck in as long as he keeps possession of the puck while doing it?

 

[barbosa]

I'm pretty sure both MAF and Murray will be ready for game 1. I don't think that Murray plays unless they know MAF was going to be ready.

My gut tells me you are right. Hope we are both right

 

[66-30-33]

Imagine going into the playoffs with Zatkoff....get swept easily.

 

[KIRK]

Another goal from the Kessel line. Take it to OT. Then lose and tell Boston to go **** themselves.

Philly or Boston missing out. Mixed emotions pal . . .

 

[BHD]

What was the nature of the collision? I missed it.

 

[SirBrad]

NBC talking about how ****** Philly's 4 professional teams are

Why do I feel like this is something that the medical staff has said a lot?

 

[chethejet]

Flyers win against the AHL Pens and they face the Caps. I would love to play the crap team in the second round fully loaded. Pens would embarrass them in the playoffs. Caps spank them anyway, but would love the opportunity to crush them.

As long as it's incidental, apparently . . .

 

[IcedCapp]

Team actually looks like they've stopped skating since The Great Zatsby came in.

 

[ColePens]

Let's... be careful how far we go into battle here in a meaningless game. Remember site rules.

Ha!Ha!Ha! You're not kidding. He cried about that not being called (I've never seen it called, ever) for a good 5 minutes after it happened. It is so transparent how he feels about the Penguins. Hell it took half the game for anyone to mention that the Penguins are playing without half their team and none of the announcers are talking about the Flyers only being able to score against our 3rd best goalie.

U wot m8? U havn a giggle?

 

[barbosa]

They may have. That's probably where my gut heard it.

Post game critiques of Zatkoff, Kunitz, and Lovejoy still are okay, yes?

 

[WayneSid9987]

[iamjs]

Shocking.

Zatkoff looking like he's doing a Jesus on the cross pose.

Jesus actually saves

So in a must win game with the playoffs on the line Schenn has the puck on his stick and his main concern is delivering a flying ass to the goalie's face? I don't buy it.

In a must win game, i'm doing whatever it takes to win. I'm not saying it was his intent but he saw the angle and decided to take the goalie with him in an attempt to score. I'd have done the same thing knowing fully well to expect retaliation.

 

[MrBurghundy]

I'd be in self preservation mode as well. Nothing to play for.

No. That would be an elbowing penalty. And you can't try to check the goalie. Schenn didn't try to check Murray, he was attempting to make a scoring play and contact occured. My opinion is if a Pen did the same thing and had been called for interference I'd be pissed so I'd be a hypocrite to expect it to be a penalty on the Flyers.
