I still haven't seen a playoff game. I was working on Weds night, and I was at the Phils last night.

You seriously went to a meaningless early season Phillies game over watching an NHL playoff game?!

Wow, Id be embarrassed to say that.

Embarrassed? Are you kidding me? Harry Kalas died and it was our first home game back, I would hardy consider that meaningless. Maybe in your town you people don't give a shit about baseball because it hasn't been relevant in 30 years.

BTW Claude Giroux owned your whole team today.

Forgot about the Kalas part. I'll give you a break because of that. And some people still give a shit about baseball here, but most havent for 15 years, not 30.

Giroux had a great game. Im surprised he didnt have more points this season honestly. It was terrible defense on the shorthanded goal though, that pass never shouldve made it Gagne. It was huge for you to score first, and even moreso to build a 2 goal lead. That shorty probably changed the game. If you dont get it and we get a PP goal, its tied 3-3.

Our D didnt play good, and Fleury played even worse. I dont blame him on Carter's goal too much because Gonchar screened him (that 1's on Gonch), but all the others were stoppable. You had to have 10 scoring chances as good or better than our best one, and you scored a lot of them.

Im confident Fleury will come back strong. Game 4 should be a doozie.

Im guessing Mike Richards is feeling good right now too because Im pretty sure Pierre Maguire gave him a blowjob after the game.

Man he really embarrassed you guys on that Gagne short handed goal. My favorite had to be when one of the Pens swung at him and Claude took him down and elbowed him in the face! Your D didn't play to well. I thought ours did pick it up a lot. Kimo had a nice game, despite getting run over there in the beginning.

Hopefully this knocks Fleury's confidence down a notch or two.

Speaking of blowjobs: are you upset that for the first time ever he wasn't dangling of the tip of Crosby's wee wee?

Nah, I just hate watching/listening to games where the announcers are so biased.

Even listening to the Pens announcers for their FSN games, they arent baised. The commentary simply analyzes the game.

Its not quite as annoying when the bias is for your team, but it bothers me either way. Those C-class announcers that NBC has just cant seem to comment on a game without their favoritism coming out.

And dont be too proud of Giroux taking Tyler Kennedy down. He's probably the smallest player in the league at like 5'5'' or so, and I thought he actually got the first and maybe best shot in. Giroux just outweighed him bigtime and took him down.

I wouldnt count on Fleury's confidence being knocked. He typically has great games after performances like this. And like I said, we gave you way too many great scoring chances. He shouldve stopped more of them, but we maybe had 2-3 scoring chances as good as the 10-12 you had.

Dude, I live in Philly. You think we don't know about being on the other side of biased announcers?  EVERYBODY hates Philly. I'm surprised Joe Buck didn't let Manny Ramirez drop his balls into his mouth last year.

I flipped between the CBC and NBC telecasts of today's Pens-Flyers game. I hate Pierre with a passion and pity you folks that have to watch NBC, although I think the intermission segments have improved a lot this season.

[joey_rogo]

watching games on nbc is almost as bad as watching a buffalo feed. i hate pierre AND milbury. nbc is a carnival of stupid. i can't wait until they show a devils game this post season and we have to watch doc try not to be a homer.

[capt. scotty]

I totally forgot there were other games on after the Pens because that performance just annoyed me.

But I caught the end the NJ/CAR, and that series is definitely goin 6-7.

Watching the SJ/ANA game right now, and I might be wrong about the best series. I dont think its CHI/CAL anymore, I think its the Sharks/Ducks series. High octane and highly entertaining.

San Jose has all the momentum right now, but its still only tied. If Anaheim wins this and goes up 2-0 and on their way back home, Im not sure if San Jose or Washington is choking more.

ya capt, whats happening here?!?

obviously, the best conclusion to draw is that the rangers and ducks will meet in the finals :P


super sad that the blues are down 3-0. and their team is called the blues. there isnt even the need for a cheesy joke here. i feel for my man, John Davidson, and his team. just dont get swept.

I mean, as far as the Blues go, they overachieved. The other Mason, Chris, got hot late, Backes, Perron, and a few others had good games, but they had no chance against Luongo and Vancouver

Is the next Rags/Caps game on monday? Ill definitely watch that. That series is far from over right now (see Pens/Flyers), but if NYR wins its done and gone.

And this only occurred to me earlier today, but how bout we do the Avatar for a month bet, Mickey and Leon?

If the Pens win, you (both) have to sport the Pens avatar of my choice for a month. If the Flyers win, vice versa.

This occurred to me before todays game, but I think you both wouldve declined at that point. Now, its a series, anyone can win.

If yinz got cujones, youll say yes.
