[Bob Sacamano]

Might lead with that next time

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

blame TVR?

 

[Bill Brasky]

quit whining

Bettman apologist 

 

[chet]

CC IMO

 

[ItsOnlytheRiver]

Tee times are set. 

 

[Billy Bats]

It's game 1.  Settle down.

Can't blame him. They could put Sheriff in net, Penguins are a steamroller right now. 

 

[JaxBill]

Maybe if they gave them a screen a little bit bigger than a Nintendo Game Boy to watch.

Yeah, seems like a prime sponsorship opportunity a la NFL and Microsoft Surface.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Hopefully that GWG will remind the Blues that in the playoffs, throwing the puck at the net is never a bad thing.  They spent too much time last night passing trying to get the perfect shot. 

 

[Bill Brasky]

Blame Elliott!

 

[Ghost Rider]

Elliott was fantastic.  

 

[TobiasFunke]

Just getting it all out of the way now

 

[JaxBill]

Elliott was fantastic.  

I believe that was Brasky's sarcastic effort to lampoon the critics of an oft-maligned goaltender.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Playoff hockey is supposed to be awesome.  I don't know what the Rangers were thinking, but they seriously forgot their awesomeness.  We need awesome.

And speed.

And Lundquist obviously.  He is all their awesome.  Eh, I'm just annoyed because my backup watching last night was the Yankees and that wasn't exactly awesome either.

 

[The_Man]

Nice job on today's thread title, though I thought "Sheriff shows up for once" would be even more appropriate.

Beard started this morning - nobody noticed yet, although some people might just assume (correctly!) that I was running late this morning. Haven't told my wife yet, but she will definitely notice tonight.

Rangers recalled an AHL goalie. While it could be a precaution, probably not a great sign.

I couldnt tell if there was blood in Henriks eye or not.

Either way, not sure it matters.

@NHLBruins: Sweeney was asked if Julien will be the head coach next season. "Absolutely."

10:06am - 14 Apr 16

Speculation is that it is Neely that in on the Hot Seat! TM

I'm not sold that this is the correct move. The pressure is going to be on me ... I mean, Sweeney ... to fix whatever he perceives is wrong with the roster.

 

[Bill Brasky]

Seguin out G1

 

[Insein]

Hockey on the USA network is weird.  What in the hell is "Royal Pains" and why should I care that the series finale is coming up?

I remember back in the late 80's early 90's when they were shopping around the playoffs it being on that network. Don't know of it was called USA network then though. I remember seeing the North Stars against someone. I want to say the Blues.

 

[JaxBill]

"Royal Pains" looks 10 times better than that Chrisley show.  Oooff.

 

[chet]

CC Could have (and probably should have) frozen the puck 5 seconds or so before it deflected off of TVR so I guess CC is to blame.

 

[Insein]

Orpik is a wanted man.

 

[poopdawg]

Thanks - I should have scrolled back

What's up Clorox!? Good to see you

 

[sporthenry]

Flyers going to regret those PPs esp when they even up against the caps PP. 

 

[Billy Bats]

Flyers going to regret those PPs esp when they even up against the caps PP. 

Same crap PP. Still going up against the 2nd best PK unit, but they're not helping. Flyers been playing disciplined hockey for awhile, let's hope that continues.

It's the playoffs. You knew they'd try to even it up. Missed trip phantom hook. 

 

[JaxBill]

Couturier is about the person they could least afford to lose.

 

[The_Man]

Caps with 14-4 edge in shots that period. Holtby looking extremely confident and not giving up the rebounds - playing like he did earlier in the season

 

[Billy Bats]

Couturier is about the person they could least afford to lose.

Would be a huge loss, completely cooked without him. 

 

[JaxBill]

Yeah Caps dominated the second.  Mason the only thing keeping this in reach.

 

[Insein]

They need to reach another level. Been coasting mostly. Not playing bad. Just not doing enough.

 

[RUSF18]

Florida having so many empty seats in the lower level, especially behind the net, is pretty sad. 

 

[JaxBill]

Really bad penalty after bad penalty

 

[JaxBill]

Coots will not return.  Not too many arm/shoulder/elbow injury you can recover from in 48 hours.

 

[E Street Brat]

Florida having so many empty seats in the lower level, especially behind the net, is pretty sad. 

Looks like a Detroit home game.

 

[The_Man]

Caps getting too fine.  Need to crash the net more

 

[JaxBill]

Huge kill but the Flyers need some shots

 

[The_Man]

Wilson getting ready to go for revenge on that big hit on Richards and Richards shoves him away from a scrap. Nice veteran move to keep the hothead dope from taking a penalty 

 

[The_Man]

Welp

Dope back at it. 

 

[sporthenry]

Yeah can't imagine broken collarbone or dislocated shoulder will heal quickly. 

 

[dgreen]

Thanks, Simmonds. 

 

[sporthenry]

Simmonds probably too valuable to do that. And they cancel those penalties out?  Absolute bulls hit. 

 

[Insein]

####### bull####!

 

[belljr]

Roughing?  Are you sitting me

 

[sporthenry]

Haha the Flyers get a penalty out of all that?

 

[Insein]

Refs let everything go but Simmonds roughing for fighting a dude that threw the first punch. Ok.

 

[JaxBill]

And now Ghost is drawn into the crap

 

[The_Man]

Gonna be a very violent series
