Bobby Fucking Lou!

[El Fangel]

And before people think I am a bandwagoner, I only want Vancouver to win so that they face Montreal in the final.

[SaskatchewanChamp]

LMAO!

Montreal wont get past Boston.

[KleptoKlown]

Salo and Ballard as your 5-6 pair... Salo still has a slapper that would make Al Iafrate cringe, Ballard is good on both ends. Edler (might as well call him Elder considering his veteran presence despite his age...) has 3 games played since major back surgery, he's playing tough, putting up the body, laying down the blocked shots.

The only negative I can think of is with the Shitcago Blackcocks 4 posts.

Toews looks like a lost boy looking for puppy...

This is a huge win. Only thing I am afraid of is if this goes to 7 games...the Nucks are going to be dead come round 2.

[KleptoKlown]

Agreed.

I think this series will only last 5 games, but those are going to be some tough games. I look for one of the 'tards to run Luongo over in Game 3 or 4.

Even if the Hawks do(and if they do..I garuntee you Glass takes out Towes or Kanes knees...) Schinder could be a rookie playoff sensation. He's the real deal. He's ready to be a #1.

Honestly, didnt even notice Toews at all.

[KleptoKlown]

Rangers/Caps

Good God why did Tortella(whatever the spelling) get another job? I cannot stand him. He won a cup that Ray Charles could have coached to victory.

[KleptoKlown]

LMAO!

Montreal wont get past Boston.


I hope you're wrong.

It's hard cheering against the B's considering I've always liked them, and they have Lucic and Thomas who are my fav non Nuckers. The Habs are Canadian, and as a Canadian myself...it's been..18 years? Since a Canadian team won a cup. Jesus Christ. Someone born the last time Canada won a cup can now legally vote or buy porn..

[KleptoKlown]

And before people think I am a bandwagoner, I only want Vancouver to win so that they face Montreal in the final.
That final would be amazing...an amazing victory for the Nucks.

I fear a big bad mean team like Philly or Boston a lot more than anything else.

Skill and talent vs skill and talent...Nucks win every single time. Its only the team that can grind and wear down the Nucks that will beat them.

[Gertner]

Hey guys. Just putting this out there if anybody is interested. I've been involved in sim hockey leagues for about 5 years now. Basically, there's 30 gm's and you draft a team and manage it, like trading, setting your lines, entry drafts and such. Well I just joined a new league where you create your own player and you develop him. He gets drafted by one of the gm's in the league or signed to a contract and you assign points and such. Sort of like create a player mode in NHL 2011. For exaple, if you want your player to be a scorer, or a defensive defencman, you allocate your points towards certain attributes. I'm a goon right now so most of my points went towards fighting and checking. Anyways, this league is always looking for new players. It's alot of fun.

If you're interested or just want to check it out here's the link.

http://z7.invisionfree.com/The_SHL/index.php

If you join, make sure you note that "belak" referred you as I get 2 attribute points for every player I refer.

[El Fangel]

Signed up, awaiting approval.

[Gertner]

Awesome! Now that you created your player, gm's will approach you with contract offers. Your GM will pretty much guide you through everything.

[El Fangel]

This sounds awesome. Love that you are a goon.

[Gertner]

It goes pretty in depth. People do play by play of the games, write scouting reports, articles, stuff like that.

[El Fangel]

Thats awesome, I am wondering how the contract offer things work for rookies though.

[Gertner]

Rookies get a one year deal because the draft is next season. Then you can take that money and buy attribute points.

[El Fangel]

No what I mean is do we get approached with offers from GM's now?

[Gertner]

Yeah, gm's will send you a private message with offers. Usually wait till after supper when they get home from work.

[El Fangel]

Im kinda excited, sounds like alot of fun.

[Gertner]

It's alot of fun. A simulator called STHS sims the games and you have a detailed scoring sheet to view after the game is done.

[El Fangel]

Here is the thing, how long does a season normally last?

[OssMan]

Fallen Angel is the guy who says "yes please" when a telemarketer calls him and asks if he wants to buy accidental death insurance.

[Gertner]

40 games

[El Fangel]

40 games

haha, I figured you would say that. I mean in real time.

Also, I got offered a starting job, hammering out the details now.

[Gertner]

Depends on how it's scheduled. It won't be as long as an NHL season.

[El Fangel]

Didnt think so, Got offered a starter position :)

Also, Im thinking of making a thread for this, so it doesnt clutter up the NHL thread.

[Gertner]

lol I think it'll just be me and you talking.

[El Fangel]

Yeah, but it isnt leaving dozens of messages for others to sift through to find shit they actually care about.

P.S Made the thread.

[El Fangel]

1-0

[Londoner]

Fuck Montreal.

[El Fangel]

Price robbed him.

[El Fangel]

I am an idiot.

[El Fangel]

Ryan White is an idiot.

[El Fangel]

Jesus Price.

[El Fangel]

They just played "The Game" by Motorhead, legit marked out.

[Londoner]

Yeh lol. I've heard it ocne before at a hockey game, may have been a Boston one.

[Arashi Kage]

Come on Habs!! Get a second goal!!!!

[Londoner]

Come on Boston

*clap clap clap*

Come on Boston

*clap clap clap*

[El Fangel]

Our Lord, who art in heaven.
Stanley be thy name,
thy playoffs come,
thy will be done,
In Game 7 as it is in Game 1
Give us this day our lucky bounces
and forgive us our cross-checks.
As we facewash those who cross-check against us.
Deliver us from the pit of despair
For thine is the kingdom,
And the championship, And the glory.
For ever and ever.
GOAL!

[Arashi Kage]

These last 6mins are gonna be nerve wracking.

[El Fangel]

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Londoner]

cunts

oh well only game 1

[Arashi Kage]

:y: I can't rep FA anymore, lol.

Phew, way to go Habs! But I won't relax until the clock runs out.

[El Fangel]

Jesus Price, bring that big shiny bastard home <3

[Londoner]

Flyers > cunts

i mean montreal

[Londoner]

fuck i should've not typed that, flyers 1-0 down!!!

[El Fangel]

Hahahahaha.

[Emperor Smeat]

:-\ Canadiens were much luckier in their attacking and Price was insanely good.

At least the Bruins kept their fierce attacking for almost the entire game instead of letting Montreal control the flow post-early goal.

[KleptoKlown]

God damn work...get home just in time to hear the buzzer go. Looks liked I missed a good game. Both Canadian teams win game 1.

[LoDownM]

How do you guys feel about this years "History will be made" commercials?

[KleptoKlown]

Not nearly enough recent game play....stings you in the ass realizing Full House was still on TV the last time a Canadian team went the distance.

[Londoner]

Ah well, if Flyers let me down i'll have to rely on kings next, big fan of them, well, i like watching them. Bet they lose 5-0 or something now i've said this.

[El Fangel]

God damn work...get home just in time to hear the buzzer go. Looks liked I missed a good game. Both Canadian teams win game 1.

PRICE!

[Arashi Kage]

How do you guys feel about this years "History will be made" commercials?

They aren't as stupidly annoying as last year's, hence, I doubt they will spawn countless parodies like the originals because they won't get the strong reaction that last year's did.

[Londoner]

Philly powerplay!

[Londoner]

Buffalo have defended for their lives. Well played.

[El Fangel]

I just poured myself a Ryan Coke. WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

[Londoner]

fuck sakes told u lol san jose 1-0 ALREADY!!!!!!!!! its ok i like them to though.

[Arashi Kage]

For anyone who missed the intro to HNIC:

33rd time meeting in the playoffs. (Hopefully that's a good omen in the Habs favor :p)

That was the worst moment of those playoffs.

[OssMan]

sean avery fight incoming

[El Fangel]

the sky is blue

[Stickman]

Incredible being at a playoff game boys....Game 2 starting right now!

[Stickman]

Nucks up in the series 2-0.

[KleptoKlown]

There is more grey hair on my head then there is on Dumbo's ass after tonight Nucks game.

Nucks hung on by the hairs on a porn stars cunny cun cun tonight. 2-0 though, coulndlt ask for anything better.

[The Fraze]

:)

[El Fangel]

Saturday nights aright for a 2-0 lead.

[ThePhantom]

Seriously, I want to know in what other sport would an athlete even consider playing after suffering 3 broken teeth, in the NEXT game no less! Martin St.Louis is without a doubt the player that I will be cheering for, for the rest of these playoffs.

NBA...Steve Nash would.

[Londoner]

Wish i would've been able to see the Flyers game but atleast they won!

Pretty much given up on Boston atm(although still keeping some small small faith....), they look like they don't know what they're doing at all. It'd be pretty funny if they didn't score in all the games.

[Londoner]

AT FUCKING LAST!!!!!

[El Fangel]

:D

[El Fangel]

Someone put Spilchuk on suicide watch.

[El Fangel]

Man, Are they ever trying hard to get Subban agitated. I can't wait until he stomps on Lucic' face.

[Londoner]

Kings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KleptoKlown]

I remember Shaq being out of the line up with a stubbed toe....f'n pansy.

[KleptoKlown]

Don't think anyone would have thought that Habs would be up 2 game on Boston's home turf. Boston is playing horrible. Not to take anything away from the Habs, but in the last 10 minutes, I didnt even count 1 legitimate scoring chance.

:y: Good old Canadian Boy!

[KleptoKlown]

Torres Torres Torres...

Part of me want to say Seabrook should have had his head up, shouldnt have been looking behind him...

But he was looking behind him because thats were the puck was.

Torres wasn't looking at then puck, probably didn't even know where it was.

Torres is not a dirty player. Lately he is being exposed as an opportunist. The actual body checks are proper. He is keeping his arms in, there is no loose elbow, and it looks like a clean hit. Anyone with common sense knows that Torres is taking advantage of his opponents.

He's going to sit 2-3 more games. He should count his lucky stars this is playoffs, because if this were still regular season, it would be 6+ Maybe even upwards of 10.

[Arashi Kage]

I wasn't happy with Torres or the multitude of penalties that Vancouver took tonight. 6 PP opportunities for the Hawks - sooner or later that will burn you badly.

I'd welcome back Hodgson in place of Torres if Torres has to sit again. Hodgson was solid in the previous games.

CANUCKS!!!!!!!!!!! Nerve wracking finish. After the Canucks just barely missed 2 empty netters, I was sure that the Hawks would tie it up with less than 10 secs remaining. That's the way it usually ends up. :mad:

[El Fangel]

BOBBY LOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[El Fangel]

Canucks just bought this site.

http://www.broom.com/

[KleptoKlown]

No suspension for Torres. Gotta say, I'm (pleasantly) surprised.

It's probably because the hit happened right behind the net, which is an "enter at your own risk" sort of this and because Seabrook has his head down.

[El Fangel]

LMAO!

Montreal wont get past Boston.

Salo and Ballard as your 5-6 pair... Salo still has a slapper that would make Al Iafrate cringe, Ballard is good on both ends.

The only negative I can think of is with the Shitcago Blackcocks 4 posts.

Toews looks like a lost boy looking for puppy...

This is a huge win. Only thing I am afraid of is if this goes to 7 games...the Nucks are going to be dead come round 2.

Tough game but the Bruins take it 4-2.

:lol: at the 3rd goal coming from a Price goof up (2nd time he did it in the game).

[Corndad]

Wow Crazy end to Pen/Bolts.

Pens up 2-1 in Series

[The Fraze]

[KleptoKlown]

Hawks get way better entrance music. Metallica > U f'n 2

[El Fangel]

Trying to make a point with those 3 quotes FA?

:D

[parkmania]

Kunitz and Downey each get 1 game. Kuni better thank Downey, because if Downey doesn't make his hit, Kuni probably gets 2-3 games at least.

[El Fangel]

Bobby Lou? Where are you?

[LoDownM]

How bout that sweep? eh?

[RP]

I wonder if Toews will make an appearance in game 5.

[RP]

The Kings have blacks on the team.

[RP]

Sharks have life

[KleptoKlown]

7-2...lol...

I dont think anybody expected the Nucks to sweep the Hawks...including the Nucks, they didn't even show up. Could have been double digits for the Hawks if not for a few great Lou saves.

This was shit. Owners probably told them to toss it so they could get the revenue for another home game.

[RP]

Great game right now

[The Fraze]

SAN JOSE SHARKS BAH GAWD!

[Londoner]

I saw the score was level at 5-5 earlier but was too early in the morning for me here in the UK, gonna have to watch the replay later!

[Gertner]

Torres should count his lucky stars that the refs gave him and John Scott a ten minute misconduct before the face off. Scott would have put Torres in the hospital.

[JimmyMess]

Nice return for Dave Bolland.

[Gertner]

Bollard-Bickell- Frolik were incredible. The Hawks absolutely stole Frolik from Florida.

[weather vane]

Torres should count his lucky stars that the refs gave him and John Scott a ten minute misconduct before the face off. Scott would have put Torres in the hospital.

John Scott is such a homo. A tough homo but a homo none the less...

[Gertner]

I'm really tough, I mean I could take 90% of the goons in the NHL, but John Scott scares me.


Oh, and Jack Edwards is the worst announcer in sports.

[Londoner]

Rangers 3-0 up all of a sudden :eek: I do love the music the play after a goal.

[Droford]

Caps are gonna choke again..lol

[Gertner]

Playoff OT hockey is unwatchable sometimes.

[Hanso Amore]

Tyler Myers became a man tonight

[Hanso Amore]

Philly is over Hyped.

If the Sabres can out muscle you, you fucking suck.

[Corndad]

James Freakin Neal.

[LoDownM]

:cool:

[OssMan]

jesus christ, lizard

[Droford]

I shouldnt have changed the channel on the Caps..wtf

Should still point out they lost the series in 7 last year up 3-1 and lost the last 5 series they've been up 2-0

[weather vane]

I'm really tough, I mean I could take 90% of the goons in the NHL, but John Scott scares me.


Oh, and Jack Edwards is the worst announcer in sports.

I just love how much of a homer he is. I enjoy him a lot.

[Gertner]

lol I usually like homer announcers but Edwards is embarrassing.

[weather vane]

Yeah he has no idea what he is talking about 99% of the time. That's why I love him... entertains me

[Emperor Smeat]

:D what a game and comeback.

Down 3-1 into a 5-4 OT win for the Bruins and a tied series going back to Beantown.

The commentators were right after the 1st period where Montreal tried to go for the TKO in the first but Bruins held it to a 1-0 and then when it was 3-1, the Bruins didn't panic like they typically do in the past.

[Gertner]

Bahaha, the Habs are a bunch of heartless chokers!

[RP]

Yess$ss!!!!

[RP]

Pull Luongo bitches!

[RP]

eat shit canada!!!!!

[KleptoKlown]

3-0 after the 1st

are you fucking kidding me?

this current "core" team...never has a Canucks team frustrated me this much.

They had some bad team, but the effort was there. WTF is going here? This is night and day. They're not even trying. Lou is sucking some serious ass right now, but the guys in front are not helping at all. No one...not 1 single Canuck did anything this period.

Alain Vigneult...this is your last year. You should have pulled Lou after the 2nd goal. it was 20 something seconds after the 1st goal. You should have pulled Lou in game 4 after the 3rd goal which was like 15 seconds after the 2nd goal. Schiender is hungry, he has everything to prove. Lou is happy collecting his 10 mill, yet every year he tells the press "this year I feel better than ever"

I just don't get it.

How a team can be so dominating, can do every little thing right, win every little battle....then the next night look like a 1978 Pinto with 500,000KM

I can personally deal with the loses...as long as the effort is there.

I hope to God that Gillis can find someone willing to take Lou in the offseason. Give Schinds the chance. He's better for the salary cap, and he's still hungry.

I just dont get it.

[KleptoKlown]

eat shit canada!!!!!

I think you mean eat shit Canadian teams...

Cause if Canadian players had any sense of real national pride, they would play for Canadian teams...and everyone else would be fucked.

[KleptoKlown]

Thats actually something to think about...

If Canadian born players collectively decided to play exclusively on Canadian teams...we'd never lose the cup.

They're all millionaire, so really, whats the difference between 2 million and 3 million per year? you're still gonna live like a hog in shit.

Personally, If I were a NHLer and had to chose 500k to play on a Canadian team, or 1 mill to play on an American team...I'd pick Canada every time...but what do I know, I'm just an arm chair analyst

[RP]

Awww yah, shovel those turds in your mouth canada.

[Gertner]

Vancouver choking again. Shocking.

[KleptoKlown]

Your ass still sore from that Gold medal game?

[KleptoKlown]

or should I say gold medal games...even our women fucked you in the ass.

[KleptoKlown]

Vancouver choking again. Shocking.

Im shocked how bad they're choking. They dont even deserve it. Atleast with previous chokes....they were beat by the better team. Nothing wrong with that. This time they're beating themselves.

lol what is with Luongo in big games. I've never seen anything like this in all the years I've watched hockey. It's incredible. It sucks because the Canucks were my pick to come out of the West.

[Gertner]

I miss this goal horn btw

Team Canada won the gold despite Lou...not because of him.

I really hope Gillis can ditch him...and that contract. It's gonna be a long 75 years otherwise.

I have never seen a goalie like him. Some saves he makes Patrick Roy look like a little girl...other times Ray Charles would have been a better choice in net.

Every goalie has bad games, bad shots, bad bounces...bad luck.

But this is surreal.

[Gertner]

The Sharks vs Kings series has been amazing.

[KleptoKlown]

I am ashamed to admit, but I have spent all my energy watching the Nucks/Hawks.

Sure sounds like I am missing one hell of a 1st round.

[RP]

They can go ahead and skip game six. No way in hell do the Canucks win that game in Chicago.

[KleptoKlown]

Unfortunately I agree with Dan Aykroyd above. Especially cause I am 99% sure Vigneulat is an idiot and will start Lou again(please prove me wrong)

If the Nucks lose in game 7....the city of Vancouver is honest to fucking God going to riot in the likes that even Habs fans will sit back and say "yikes!" to.

[KleptoKlown]

non topic question...

how did you get almost 34k posts? I dont even know who the fuck you are...

The Blackhawks are someone that Luongo has troubles with. I mean after the first 3 games everybody kind of swept it under the rug, but after the 2 blowouts it makes you wonder where his head is at.

I see Luongo starting every playoff game and hope that these past 2 games won't get to him and will just be great for game 6. I mean yes, we were up 3-0 and lost the next 2 games 12-1, but as long as the guys in front of him play as aggressive then Roberto will be good.

To be fair, the Canucks defense was horrible. I mean, Hossa's second goal, he had no one within like 25 feet of him.

[RP]

The Blackhawks are firmly embedded in the Canucks head.

[El Fangel]

They seem to have shoved that Chesea Dagger deep in Bobby Lou's back.

[RP]

They will not win game six. There own fans even know this.

[Stickman]

Canucks are going to win game six.......I'm not going to bet on it but I think they will.

I haven't seen the last two blowouts. I saw the first period of game 4 and Loungo was on fire. Don't know if he choked the rest of the game or not.

Lou will start every playoff game for the Canucks unless he's injured. Don't forget he has a 12 year contract that starts now. There's no way they're going to tell their franchise goalie to have a seat. Should they? Maybe.


As for the Torres hit, the call on the ice was correct, maybe could have been 5 minutes. Colin Campbell was on a radio show and he even said it was clean, but he also said, he has no idea what the rules are anymore. In my opinion, if your shoulders are in, you're not coming from behind or the side, you don't charge and don't leave your feet, tough shit for having your head down.

Rofl you should watch all of game 4 then. He gave up 1 in the 1st and 5 in the second. Lol. This series is over.

Canucks fans, be prepared to hear this horn and song about 6 times in game six.

[Arashi Kage]

Get Torres out of there, bring Hodgson back!!!

I'm placing all blame for this on Torres, he woke up the Hawks. Hawks were outclassed in the first 3 games, now they look like a totally different team.

Not impressed with the Canucks last night, this totally sucks (and the Habs losing totally sucks hard too).

:mad::rant:

[Gertner]

Never thought I'd have a Bruins avatar on purpose, but Ference is my hero. His only mistake was not taking his glove off.

[JimmyMess]

Is anyone getting shitfaced and watching tonight?

[El Fangel]

I am shitfaced now and awaiting the game.

[JimmyMess]

I am shitfaced now and awaiting the game.

Good man! :y:

[El Fangel]

Yeah man, cant wait :)

[Stickman]

If the Hawks win, we riot.

[RP]

If the Hawks win, we riot.

Can't wait.

[El Fangel]

So messed up at the moment.

[El Fangel]

Anaheim and Nashville has been a good game so far.

[OssMan]

Everybody in vancouver is too busy getting free weed like they're going to a soup kitchen to riot

[Stickman]

After the 1994 Stanley Cup finals there was a huge riot in Vancouver. It really changed policing in the city.

[El Fangel]

If Game 7 is a Canucks loss, we could be looking at an international crisis.

[RP]

Is Crosby still out?

[RP]

That was an unbelievable pass by Stamkos

[LoDownM]

Is Crosby still out?

Yes.

[RP]

Stamkos is destroying the Pens

[Corndad]

Pens Defense looks flat as hell today. Seems like road teams are unstoppable this year in playoffs.

[parkmania]

So glad the Pens were able to find the arena today... :roll:

[parkmania]

Is Crosby still out?

He can skate with the team, but is not cleared for contact yet. Probably won't play next round (assuming the Pens get there) either.

[RoXer]

Does Fallen Angel and Spilchuk realize their favorite teams are going into 2OT in the playoffs right now? I don't think they do. Someone should tell them.

[El Fangel]

I am aware and I am watching it. Price has a beautiful save and Chara saved the Bruins ass.

[El Fangel]

Also, I have to be up at 415am :(

[weather vane]

Am I aware? I don't get it...

[El Fangel]

Basically asking if you are watching the game (Rhetorical question)

[El Fangel]

And since Bruins fans arent that bright...

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/rhetorical

[El Fangel]

Goddamn. Great game of hockey though.

[Emperor Smeat]

Woo-hoo 2-1 2OT win. 3-2 Bruins series lead.

What a game, both goalies were amazing but Thomas was better.

[Gertner]

hahaha UH OH!

If you never posted again it would be too soon...

[El Fangel]

If you never posted again it would be too soon...

Thanks, Ill keep posting then.

[Gertner]

This has been the best first round of the playoffs in recent memory. The Kings vs Sharks series has been must see! Sucks that there games are on so friggen late.

[Gertner]

Holy Shit is Quick ever putting on a show! 50 saves with a little over 2 minute left!

[Gertner]

Kings win 3-1 in another awesome game. lol Quick finished with 51 saves. Niemi finished with 1.

[Gertner]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xJ-ltw4ux3o" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[weather vane]

so mint

[Lara Emily]

Fucking Blackhawks lol

[Gertner]

So friggen great! Love the Canucks choking.

[Gertner]

Only thing that'll be better will be the pussy Habs and their 911 calling frog fans blowing a 2-0 series lead. I wonder if they'll call the cops on the Bruins for making the Habs their bitch.

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: at the idea of back-to-back years with 3-0 series comebacks.

Vancouver could hold the worst of the upsets because none of them were a 1v8 matchup (2 done in Stanley Cup finals and a 6v7 last year).


Edit: Lara Emily is correct, I made a mistake since it only occurred once in the Stanley Cup Finals and twice in the earlier rounds.

[Lara Emily]

:eek: at the idea of back-to-back years with 3-0 series comebacks.

Vancouver could hold the worst of the upsets because none of them were a 1v8 matchup (2 done in Stanley Cup finals and a 6v7 last year).

Incorrect Toronto did come back from 3-0 against Detroit in the 1942 Stanley Cup Final, but that was the only time it happened in the finals the other 2 were 1975: Islanders coming back again the Pens in the Quarter Finals and the aforementioned Flyers coming back last year against the Bruins and that was the semi final.

[The Fraze]

Glad to see Nashville in the second round for the first time, love their jerseys (not the reason, though). Teemu should come back as well. "He's still got it."

[RP]

Ohhhhhh Canada....thou get your shit pushed in by David Bolland.....Ohhhhh Canada!!!!

[JimmyMess]

Ohhhhhh Canada....thou get your shit pushed in by David Bolland.....Ohhhhh Canada!!!!

You know he is from Canada right?

[OssMan]

Luongo is so bad

[JimmyMess]

Yep. Played like shit in the Olympics, playing like shit when it matters in the playoffs.

He is the new Curtis Joseph a.k.a. NOT CLUTCH AT ALL.

[Gertner]

To be fair, Cujo played on alot of shit teams that barely made the playoffs. He was pretty good on some awful Pat Quinn coached Toronto teams that didn't know the meaning of the word "back check".

[RP]

You know he is from Canada right?

Nah, he's a Blackhawk

[JimmyMess]

Lol, fair enough.

[JimmyMess]

To be fair, Cujo played on alot of shit teams that barely made the playoffs. He was pretty good on some awful Pat Quinn coached Toronto teams that didn't know the meaning of the word "back check".

Well the reason he was so good was that he got 50 shots a game. For the most part goalies need a lot of rubber on the net to stay limber in a game. Very rarely is there a tender who can be great making minimal saves (Ken Dryden, Martin Brodeur)

That is why, in my opinion, when Joseph when to Detroit he played so poorly, he never got a lot of shots, so he was having to make cold saves. Which is very hard to do.

[Gertner]

I always thought Cujo got a raw deal in Detroit especially in the 03-04 playoffs. His GAA was 1.39 and his save percentage was .939. Not sure what more Wings fans wanted from him. It's not his fault the Wings couldn't score on Kipper.

[JimmyMess]

You're right, the stats don't lie.

[Gertner]

Wings fans are the dumbest fans of the original six teams. I live in Windsor Ontario which is right across the border of Detroit so I hear alot of Detroit sports radio and talk to alot of Detroit fans and yeah......the majority couldn't name 5 players from a team other thn Detroit.

[JimmyMess]

I just remember watching Cujo and thinking "wow he's not playing as well as he did for Toronto"

I'm a Leafs fan btw, but yeah 1.39 is unreal and.939 is epic. Thats crazy, because I know I'm not the only one who felt Cujo didn't live up to the hype in Detroit.

[Gertner]

I'm a Leafs fan too, and Wings fans shit all over their goaltenders CONSTANTLY, unless your name is Chris Osgood. If Jimmy Howard has 1 bad game next round, Wings fans will be calling for Osgood even though he's been shit for 2 years now.

Cujo lost the last two games to Calgary both by scores of 1-0, the last one in overtime. Wings fans were bitching" why couldn't have stolen those two games instead of Kipper?" Lol he allowed two friggen goals in two games!

Even in the 02-03 playoffs when the Wings got swept, his GAA was 2.08 and SVP .917. The scores in the series were Game 1: 2-1 OT Anaheim, Game 2: 3-2 Anaheim, Game 3: 2-1 Anaheim and Game 4: 3-2 Anaheim OT. The Wings offense was the reason, not Cujo.

[RP]

I think the stat I heard last night was that Luongo has 20 playoff losses and 11 of them were to the Hawks.lol

[El Fangel]

Luongo has also surrendered 98% of playoff goals against to them as well.

[RP]

The Torres hit on Seabrook lit the fire, but Bolland has been pissing gas into the flames for the last 3 games

[JimmyMess]

http://i52.tinypic.com/k2fdqs.jpg

i can watch this over and over

[Gertner]

Lol Mr. Clutch Joe Thornton scores the OT winner to knock out the Kings. FANTASTIC series.

[JimmyMess]

BIG JOE!

[Gertner]

This has been the best first round of the NHL that I can remember. Practically every series has been amazing.

[JimmyMess]

I must agree, all the back and forth action has been phenomenal.

[Hanso Amore]

GAME 7

Come on Sabres....

I grew i nmy Rick Martin Chops and Stache

[LoDownM]

God damn Lighting :mad: Wasn't even this pissed when the Pens lost in the Finals in 08.

[El Fangel]

I want them to lose, so the brownnosing local paper stops writing about how crosby is inspiring the team to win without him.

[Gertner]

Do Habs fans have the cops on speed dial?

[El Fangel]

I'm thinking of taking a Maple tree to the Habs game tonight so a few leafs finally see playoff hockey.

[Gertner]

lol I heard the Boston Stranglers favourite team is the Habs. Always choking.

[El Fangel]

I'm glad Montreal will win tonight since the strangler has been in Vancouver the past few days.

[Gertner]

Montreal and Vancouver losing tonight will make this an epic night.

[weather vane]

that would be the best thing ever...

[Gertner]

Not "would". "Will".

[El Fangel]

Hey Spilchuk, avatar bet on tonights game?

[Gertner]

Spilchuk, this is like challenging a retard to a spelling bee. Guaranteed win.

[El Fangel]

A logo of the others choosing for the rest of the playoffs.

[Hanso Amore]

Any Philly fans? Ill get down on a Game 7 Avatar Bet.

[LoDownM]

There is like two Philly fans here, but I don't think they have posted since the finals last year.

[OssMan]

They'll be back if Philly makes it a few more rounds

[Stickman]

Game 7 baby! Girlfriend is going the game without me, what a cunt.

[El Fangel]

Also, Philly has 16 shots to Buffalos 2.

Miller time.

[El Fangel]

Spilchuk, this is like challenging a retard to a spelling bee. Guaranteed win.

Ahem, you were saying?

[Emperor Smeat]

Canadiens did what they needed to win and took advantage of all their chances but those refs were horrible.

Both goals for Montreal came from 5v3 opportunities when Montreal didn't get any or maybe just 1 of those types of situations in the previous 5 games.

Bruins powerplay is still bad and yet wouldn't be surprised if Game 7 is full of fights.
