lol Wings up 5-1 not even halfway through the 2nd. Theodore allowed 4 goals in the first 3 games and 5 in this one. This whole series has been one big beatdown.

[wesrman]

Good Night habs.

[a500lbgorilla]

I cant wait for a Pens-Flyers finals

a lot of my friends are either pens or flyers fans.

[zook]

So hungover. Awesome game. I gave up when the Flyers couldn't score on a 5-3 pp when they were down 3-1. A couple of soft goals later, they were right back in it!

The Pens are a better team than the Flyers, but so were the Caps and the Habs, so who cares. Can't wait for the series to start...

[WildBobAA]

Is anyone watching Stars/Sharks right now? OT in game 6, Nabakov just made a ridiculous save to keep the season alive.

[Sykedupp]

GREAT SAVE NABAKOV WOOOOOOT

[Sykedupp]

the way its playing you would think it was 4 on 4 OTs.. lol

[WildBobAA]

This sucks I want to watch some Wings games, too much rest is bad for them.

[WildBobAA]

It's like the Stars have been on the powerplay the whole OT

[meeloche]

I really need san jose to win.

[Sykedupp]

omg i hate you turco, you just 1upped nabakov

[blackatom]

HOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSAAAAAAA

[bigspenda73]

omfg how close

come on Stars

[WildBobAA]

Wow that was a ridiculous first OT.

[WildBobAA]

Nabakov's save is on YouTube already.

Great view at 27 seconds and freeze frame at 54 seconds proving it wasn't a goal.

[thizzSantaCruz]

LETS GO SHARKS1!!

[Sykedupp]

soooooo tired.... great game by both so far... spenda and i obv forever against each other, GO SHARKS!

-Chris

[WildBobAA]

about time shit

BRING IT ON SPENDA STARS VS WINGS WHEEEEEEEEEEE

[Sykedupp]

and a couple min after I type that, the standard ref's calling the equalizing penalty (nothing wrong with that) and stars capitolize... GG both teams, both goalies, etc...

wings will crush em anyways, then pens will crush wings... rest of playoffs is decided now.

[JL]

wings will crush em anyways, then pens will crush wings... rest of playoffs is decided now.

I highly doubt that. Stars just took out the Ducks and the Sharks—the two favourites coming into the playoffs.

[bigspenda73]

about time shit

BRING IT ON SPENDA STARS VS WINGS WHEEEEEEEEEEE

OMFG LIFE TILT. At 12:07 AM CST Comcast Cable decides to do maintenance work on my network for about 2 hours, yea, I missed triple and 4th OT, so pissed. I watch fucking 100+ minutes of hockey and I don't even get to see the finish.

Anyways, it was cool waking up this morning seeing that they won.

[JL]

im sad

I imagine my avatar won't cheer you up?

Thank you Philly. My friend now owes me $5.

I should probably post that in the ballin' thread eh?

Philidelphia and Dallas in Finals. They will both defy the odds. yAAwn called it right here.

[WildBobAA]

Ok so the Wings are basically playing out of their minds right now. They look better than 2002.

[zook]

Flyers just lost Kimmo Timonen, their best defenseman, for at least the conference finals.

[bigspenda73]

I stopped watching after 4 whistles in the 1st period

rigged

[wesrman]

WOW, the pennsylvania series looks like it is going to be sick.

[a500lbgorilla]

there were 5 awesome hits in that game

[WildBobAA]

8 straight wins

Have fun sitting out game 3 Ribero you little bitch.

[ProZachNation]

Red Wings

[ProZachNation]

Red Wing Domination tonight

[blackatom]

both pens and wings are playing sicko hockey right now... assuming that both teams advance (BUT OMG 1975) it will be one fucking crazy series

[donkbee]

go penguins!

don't have cable but will probably get it to watch the cup round.

[wesrman]

don't have cable.

FAIL.

[WildBobAA]

I guess the Wings are so good that the refs are going to take away goals now to give Dallas a chance.

[ProZachNation]

Fucking refs... this is the playoffs not time to do that shit

Red Wings making stars look soooo bad lol

[WildBobAA]

So Holmstrom wasn't in the crease and they wave off our goal and both of Eriksson's skates are in the crease on the Dallas goal and no whistle.

Dallas finally gets their first lead of the series at the end of the 2nd period in game 4 and it's only because of the moron refs.

[a500lbgorilla]

terrible call on the goaltender interference

[WildBobAA]

WHAT THE FUCK THAT PUCK WENT OVER THE GOAL LINE TURCO HAD NO IDEA WHERE IT WAS YOU COULD CLEARLY SEE IT LOOSE UNDER HIM ON THE REPLAY DAN O'HALLARAN IS THE WORST FUCKING OFFICIAL EVER 2ND GOAL HE'S TAKEN AWAY

[WildBobAA]

Such a joke of a game.

[bigspenda73]

Such a joke of a sport.

[WildBobAA]

Well game 1 of the Finals is set in stone for May 25 so that means if the Wings and Penguins would sweep that would mean 10 days without hockey so I guess Bettman had to do something amirite?

[zook]

Congrats Pens fans. Maria is back!

[a500lbgorilla]

Hey did you guys see that awesome goal! (x6)

[dthorne04]

go stars, plz drag this series out.

[WildBobAA]

WINGS IN 7 LET'S DO THIS

[Galapogos]

I'm really looking forward to these finals and neither team is one I have any particular interest in. They're just both so good and offensive. Finally a playoffs that's going to be fought with real firepower and not with just some amazing goalie and/or defence.

[ProZachNation]

If Wings can dominate the flow of a game they win.

They run into problem when they get held up at center ice and cant maintain dominate possession.

[WildBobAA]

Stevie Y and Super Mario dropping the pucks. sooooo pumped!

[a500lbgorilla]

Super Mario and Stevie Y dropping the pucks. sooooo pumped!

FYP

[WildBobAA]

FFS

[WildBobAA]

Fleury was outside the crease yet the refs take our goal away and give Holstrom a penalty. Standard.

[a500lbgorilla]

Call was by the book. Please stop being such a homer. Go pens!

[WildBobAA]

Well the first period was one big powerplay for the Penguins, I'll take a tie game at this point.

[a500lbgorilla]

2nd period was one big powerplay by the red wings.

Scores only 0-1 Pens.

[wesrman]

Pens deserved to lose game one for not playing Gary Roberts.

[dthorne04]

[WildBobAA]

Total domination in the 2nd and 3rd periods of game 1. The shots on goal were 25-7. We'll see how things play out tonight with Pittsburgh changing up their lines. Also the Wings get Franzen back finally.

[blackatom]

yikes

[Warpe]

[WildBobAA]

The Wings play amazing defense. Osgood isn't even doing much, he just doesn't face that many shots because his behind such a great defense.

[ProZachNation]

[pgil]

it also helps that anytime a penguin touches the puck he has at least two wings sticks on him, adn usually at least 1 wings players arm. that's fine if they are letting that go, but it has to be for the whole game and both ways. that is all

as long as osgood doesnt get the conn smythe or something stupid like that. i could play goal for the wings and get a shutout at this point.

[JL]

QFT

Osgood is overrated for sure. Anyone see his performance at the All Star game?

[ProZachNation]

holy shit just now almost 6 minutes of insane play

[Deuce Blue]

Great game. Thank you Pens!!!!!!!! At least no sweep.

[PokerSwede]

Game 4 tonight! I'm hoping for another Penguins win!

[WildBobAA]

FUCK YOU YOU PENGUINS FANS SHIP THE CUP TO HOCKEYTOWN FUCK SLOLS

[blackatom]

gg

[WildBobAA]

J/ K I RESPECT THE PENGUINS I"M JUST DRUNK RIGHT NOW CROSBY IS GOING TO BEHT THE FUTURE OF THE NHL YOU GUYS WILL WIN THE CUP AT LEAST ONCE IN THE NXT FIVE YEARS

[blackatom]

you prob respect the pens about half as much as i respect the wings...
you guys are so sickly professional... i've said it all along (although not here)

[DocRazor]

Osgood is overrated for sure. Anyone see his performance at the All Star game?

Does anybody even care about the All Star game?

In tonights game during the 5 on 3 I know Zetterberg made a good defensive play on Crosby to keep the puck out but the few times the Pens got shots through Osgood was there to stop them.

By the way, anybody going to Game 5? I've got Game 7 tickets but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.
