2-0 Yotes.

Ahbroody · 04-07-2012, 07:36 PM

Its alright this way I can still cheer for both teams and when the sharks go out against the Canucks im guessing I will just cheer for the Hawks.

Against the Wings of course. Rumor has it Stuart is looking to come home to San Jose to be with the wife and kids. Definetly wants to come to the west. Not going to be good if the Wings see stuart and the old man leave the blue line. Well it will be good for me.

Don't sell the Sharks short, beat those Canuckleheads!!

Rangers lost to the Caps so the Canucks have their fate in their hands for the second game in a row. Anything other than a regulation loss to the Oilers tonight clinches the Presidents Trophy. If I read the sheet correctly we've already clinched the conference as a Blues win combined with a Canucks loss ties the teams at 109 and the Canucks hold the tie breaker on wins.

Looks like Hawks - Yotes.

Can Clutterbuck please run Mike Smith for us?

icehog3 · 04-07-2012, 09:21 PM

Blackhawks re-signed Ray Emery for next season.

Ahbroody · 04-07-2012, 11:06 PM

friggin Sharks. No way they escape the first round.

44stampede · 04-07-2012, 11:50 PM

What a finish! End games still meaningful.

May the curse of the pres trophy be on the damn Canucks

Ahbroody · 04-08-2012, 12:04 AM

didn't see that happening.

If anything, I see the Pens as the more "brutal" team of the two. Sure, Hartnell still plays an aggressive/aggravating role, but he has been such a contributor offensively this year, that aspect of his game is much less prevalent. Couturier looked great against the Malkin line, but he's far from aggravating.

And, FWIW, the Pens were the aggressors and instigators on Sunday. Even the push by Schenn on Crosby was in retaliation to a couple of slashes Crosby got away with (including one that should have clearly been a penalty being he broke his stick in two). And I have no problem with it! That's hockey.

But Ken, the avatar...oh, the avatar.

Oh Joel...

Had a feeling I would be hearing from you once you saw my avy...

I have been reading lately how the Pens are a dirty team. I haven't been able to catch every game this year, but I haven't seen much of that. I guess the Flyers just bring out the worst in them!

I was going to go with the avy below, but then I would just be putting myself in the tasteless class with most Philly fans...

GO PENS!!!

I feel a friendly wager coming on....PM incoming!

I was at the game yesterday, with GREAT seats. I don't know what it looked like on TV, but in person the Pens looked good against the Flyers. I know the playoffs are a whole different world but I like the Pens chances.

icehog3 · 04-08-2012, 11:27 PM

I thiink the Pens-Flyers will come down to goaltending, and my money is on Fleury based on his experience. The Flyers will sorely miss Grossman on the blue-line as well.

We were at the game, and they looked pretty lifeless, for the most part. Just didn't seem to get anything going at all. At least I got to see the Wild debut of:

I don't have to worry about the playoffs, but the future here is looking pretty bright. The paper here today even talked about how they've essentially stocked 4 years worth of prospects into the last 2, and a few of them have fairly high ceilings, it seems.

When Fleury is on he is money. Problem as of late from what I watched he has been allowing soft goals. I think Johnson played in the season finale this past Saturday. I certainly hope he steps up his game because when he is on and the offense is clicking the Pens are a hard team to contend with.

Should be a great series!
