Yeah, like Predators in 5? LOL.

I sure didn't call the Vancouver series... but I was the only one on Beyond to pick this one.

Fuck. Yes.

Best game of the series for Fleury by far. Made some big saves down the stretch. Hope the Pens can keep it rolling!

Vancouver has a great lineup, they did all that in spite of having him in net, not thanks to him, same way Canada won gold with him playing like shit in the olympics. He didn't help that team for shit.

idk about you, but 4 straight wins in single elimination games with 9 total goals against isn't exactly shit in my book.

either way, im gonna start jumping on booth's back if he doesn't start showing that he's even remotely worth 4.5 million a year.

Fuck that, what about Kassian!? We traded possible rookie of the year away to get that brute... worst fucking trade ever.

I really hope Lidstrom doesn't retire. I want to see him on 24/7 next year... also, he's way too good to call it quits.

No kidding. Between him and Teemu, they can show some old guys still have what it takes to compete in a fast, young guy's game. Jagr too.



Anyone see this? Haha



It wasn't entirely true in the end, but I thought it was funny

Maybe if this was the regular season. I'm guessing 3 or 4.

We were both wrong.

At first I thought this was too much. Then I looked at the list of his reprimands for his dirty play and he's really ramped it up over the last year and a half. I think he needs to be sent a message, and perhaps this will do it.

so he gets more than Bertuzzi got for the Moore incident, and McSorley got for the Brashear incident.
What a joke (other than the fact that it's Raffi Torres, I mean).

edit- re-reading what I put, I meant more that others have got off too lightly for a lot worse.

Kinda hard to use those examples as an argument when Shanahan wasn't the disciplinarian at the time and there's more emphasis now on getting rid of dirty plays.

[CanmoreOrLess]

25 games sounds about right, all the money should go to Hossa though. Tired of these marginal players taking out good players, hardly a fair deal for the team with the injured player.

[Freeskier]

I didn't expect 25 games, but I'm glad it's a lengthy suspension. Especially after seeing the video recap, Torres really is a piece of shit player. What was it, 6 or 7 suspensions for head shots? Glad Shanny's sending him a message.

[D'z Nutz]

Holy shit, anyone watching the Blues/Sharks game? Blues down 0-1, then make it 2-1 within 55 seconds

[JLau]

i am watching it...shot by pietrangelo, blues are gonna win it

Fuck yeah, Blues! Face my Flyers for the cup, plz!

[D'z Nutz]

Oh man, Fleury sucks. Thank god I put Briere as a "just in case" in my pool

[JLau]

Fleury is terrible....Briere has been awesome in the playoffs

lol looks like the linesmen have taken it on themselves to institute no-touch icing.
