Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread

Very entertaining game. Listening to the 3rd period on XM on the way home from work last night, the Chicago announcer kept apologizing for being a homer, but said, "I don't want to sound like a homer, but if I see something I am going to call it." He must have said this or something similar to it every time Pronger was on the ice. Pronger must have gotten away with a cross-check, slash, interference, and holding about 10 times in the 3rd period alone according to the Chicago announcer. Now reading what those who watched it say, he might not have been exaggerating.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread

I always told my boys, "if the refs aren't making the calls ur playing 5 on 8 (they only have 3 refs per game) so just suck it up".

Not only did the Flyers not take too many Penalites, they were the ones who capatalized on Hossa and Byfuglys slashing penalties while killing their penalties. Byfugly actually hurt them more then helped them tonight. Two penalties one resulting in a PPG.

In all honesty I was glad to see the Flyers win this game and make this a series. They got hosed in game one on a play that should have been blown dead because the puck touched the player on the bench which seconds later resulted in a goal. That game should have went to OT and been anyones game. I found it funny how no one wants to talk about that little gift when it resulted in the game winner.

Game 2 was a 1 goal game in which Philly outplayed the Hawks but Niemi saved the day. Game 3 was a 1 goal game flyers. Take out getting hosed in game 1 and you have an even series. Take out Niemi standing on his head in game 2 to save the day and the Hawks could be down 3-0 in this series orit could in fact be 2-1 flyers if they had not gotten hosed in game 1. I said before the series started Philly was going to give the Hawks everything they could handle.

Sorry but a good nuetral take is needed in this thread. The Hawks are lucky to be up 2-1. Yes lucky because they got lucky that the play was not blown dead as it should have been in game 1. Philly out played the Hawks in game 2 but Niemi saved the day. I really think this one could go the distance. The Hawks also showed fustration tonight taking retaliation penalties. That happens a lot when a team is getting pushed around.

All I can say is boys looks like we got us a series and I am very glad we do. Before the Habs series I said the Flyers would win and give the Hawks a run for their money. :=:

The Hossa Curse may still live to kill another team :r

I just had the wrong team:r

Let's hope we get some decent reffing friday:rolleyes:

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread

Things getting intense now. This is the Hawk's series if they can win on home ice....... I hope they can do it.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread

Go Flyers!
Giroux, Briere and Pow... a few hometown boys!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread

My family and I found a sports bar in NC to watch the game last night. The bartender said it was the most hootin' and hollerin' for a hockey game the bar ever had! :wo :wo

Even Michelle, who doesn't watch hockey unless the Little Man is on the ice, was glued to the television the final 10 minutes of the third....

Wanna make another bet? ;)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread

Dont know if anyone noticed but the wings resigned holmstrom terms undisclosed and lindstrom 6.2 million. 6.2 million on a team that to me needs to sign some younger outside talent.

In sharks news there is a lot of talk that patty may be looking to LA given his ties to the gm, the great young roster, the fact that he has a house down there, and the wife would only be an hour from him or family by flight.

The sharks are apparently also looking at price from the habs to be the next goalie, internal rumors are nabby will be looking for a new home and clowe may be traded in the price deal.

Talked to nichol at a kids bday party. He believes he will be back net year

Hockey gossip update.

Dont bet the hog. I guess right a lot and he got me.:r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread

The B's signed Seidenberg 4 year deal. This one I like:tu
I did not like the Ference Deal but if he steps up he could be a good #4 defenseman.

Between that, and getting Hudler back, it a good start for the Wings.

Wonder where Nabby and Clowe will end up? What do you think about Price?

Clowe I can see going to the Habs. He has always just seemed to not really like it here. Nabby I dont know maybe the KHL,maybe he cashes in on a struggling team. Given his playoff issues and salary I just dont see the Sharks wanting him back.

Price. Ugggggh we better get some stay at home defensive players. With Blake likely not returning and Nabokov being gone there will be a little room. If Patty leaves I wont be happy. That bridge may have been burned though. I hope not. I see him staying on the west coast though.
