[Dickie Dunn]

Go for the Dale Hunter. Now that guy knew how to cheap-shot ... none of this borderline, was-it-or-wasn't-it silliness.

 

[RUSF18]

Great period for the blueshirts. 

 

[Billy Bats]

This game is boring, not one face massage. 

 

[RUSF18]

That penalty is a perfect example of why Kreider will never reach his enormous potential.

 

[kupcho1]

Great period for the blueshirts. 

Enough already. Can we get back to discussing Ovechkin's ploy?  Or Lebowski quotes?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

obviously you're not a golfer

Something else I learned here today: There are a lot more Penguins fans than I realized. How in the world did they finish last in attendance in 2004 and almost move to Kansas City?

Lots of Pittsburgh fans on this board.  The Steelers thread is always active and actually has some really knowledgeable football fans

 

[MarvinTScamper]

At least I'm housebroken

 

[Doctor Detroit]

That's not what I heard.

One time!!!  What an a$$hole

C'mon Dickie, be fair. 1992 until 2008 was a long time between SC wins. You didn't expect them to stay fans during this long, lean period, didya?

There seems to be no explanation for it, but there are always more Penguins fans on these boards when the team is doing well.  #bandwagon

Sheriff was the only one that would come around and take his lumps when they lost a series.

8, signed by Beninati

I would have gone with a Jim Carey jersey. C'mon man he was the Net Detective!

 

[rockaction]

Did you micturate on the rug?

What about Scott Stevens? If he hit you, you knew you had been hit. 

Ask Eric Lindros.

Oh please

Not if it was Monday!

C'mon Doc, he had a GD life! He didn't spend all his time on these boards.

 

[Bill Brasky]

Blues look like an actual NHL team tonight

Are their jerseys tucked?

 

[The_Man]

With everyone selling out to block shots in the playoffs, I love the slap pass. Defender hits the ice as a guy winds up and it opens up so many passing lanes. Wish teams would do it more - drives me a little crazy seeing guys firing shots into what everyone knows is going to be a block. 

 

[Bill Brasky]

probably going to buy a Kia by June

If they want to be winners

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Our Preds are getting a game tonight. 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

ELLIS!!!!!

 

[Christo]

Boom!

 

[Bill Brasky]

####ty break for the Blues there.  take a short handed situation out of a scrum in a 0-0 3rd period playoff game and they bury it.  probably their best game of this playoff too.

at least bayhawk is happy

 

[Doctor Detroit]

####ty embellishment call there. 

 

[Christo]

####ty embellishment call there. 

yep

 

[gianmarco]

####ty embellishment call there. 

Almost as bad as the penalty call on the Blues after the scrum.

 

[Bill Brasky]

not a good time for a bench minor.  oof

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Preds hitting lots of pipes

 

[Christo]

Boom!

 

[Bill Brasky]

whoa

 

[Bill Brasky]

James Neal sighting

 

[ffldrew]

Nice job Elliott

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Preds easily my favorite playoff team destroying the Blackhawks and now hopefully the Blues. 

GO PREDS GO! 

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Preds, Preds, Preds

Ryan Ellis dominating like he did with Windsor

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Nashville crowd was never nice to the Wings but I'm digging them right now. 

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

####ty embellishment call there. 

that was really awful. stupid refs.

he went to the room to be evaluated for a concussion afterwards too? good effort, NHL.

 

[Brady Marino]

This series has gone about how I expected it to, sadly.

 

[Deputy67]

So what is with the thread title and the disparaging remarks about Sid Crosby and the Pens? Are we going to have a problem here? 

Niskanen needs to be banned from the league!!

Alias check on aisle 5 please

 

[AAABatteries]

You got demoted?

 

[fred_1_15301]

Alias check on aisle 5 please

Sheriff is dead 

 

[hagmania]

God bless our hockey team. Preds!

 

[Ghost Rider]

I missed the game, due to a concert I had tickets for, and it sounds like I'm glad I did.  The Blues lost and apparently got rooked by the refs?  Damn. 

 

[RUSF18]

So can anyone tell me more about Neal Pionk? I know he's on the smaller side but his skillset seems pretty solid based on what I've read. How far is he from contributing at least some third pair minutes?

 

[Jules Winnfield]

And another one from a non-Pittsburgh source (in MN, just for you Brasky):

http://www.startribune.com/watch-the-sidney-crosby-hit-dirty-play-or-bad-timing/420999953/

"I’ve watched the slow-motion replay a dozen times now (at least) and I still can’t decide for sure whether Niskanen intentionally went for Crosby’s head or if the hit would have landed more in the chest or shoulder area if Crosby wasn’t falling a little.

The combination of all the factors, though — from Washington’s desperation, to the Capitals’ knowledge of Crosby’s impact and injury history to Ovechkin’s ploys to knock Crosby off-balance and finally to Niskanen’s shot to the head — can lead you to conclude it was a dirty play of the worst kind: one designed to knock out a star player and influence the outcome of a game/series."

Michael Rand is who you are going to have defend your position?
