2011-2012 NHL season

Go Kings!!! Taking out Vancouver would be awesome. Caps and Bruins in OT right now in what is shaping up to be a slugfest of a series. Gotta think the B's will prevail. They are built for this type of hockey.

Been watching playoff hockey all evening and something dawned on me as Seabrook just tied the game for the Hawks.

Golf for the most part is extremely ****ing boring.

Wow another awesome game for the Flyers! Hopefully they can complete the sweet on Wednesday.

It will be interesting to see if any Penguins are suspended tomorrow.  I am guessing Asham will be and possibly Neal.

[Grndslmhttr3]

I expect Asham to be suspended. Neal, on the other hand, could go either way. The hit was late as hell, and he did leave his feet, so I could see him getting suspended, too. Losing him would really hurt the Penguins at this point.

I think Bryz did a pretty good job today. He did let in a few softies, but he still managed to post a respectable save percentage against one of the best offenses in the league.

Was watching the Blues/Sharks game the other night.  Hasn't been too often that the biggest fights were actually after the end of the game.  Going to be a crazy time in San Jose.

All the series have been rougher than expected. We knew Philly/Pittsburgh would be crazy, but St Louis/San Jose reminds me of back when Pronger was a Blue and the Sharks knocked them off in round 1. I was pulling for SJ then, but for SJ now.

Some guys are really showning their class (or lack of it). I'd comment on it further, but don't want to upset anyone.

Craig Adams got suspended for the next game, so the Pens could have three of their guys out for at least Wednesday's game.

there's been lots of despicable play out there this postseason, I'm actually kind of shocked by the amount and how it's not confined to one or two teams, it's everywhere.

Looks like Asham gets four and Neal one. Also, looks like Raffi Torres will be sitting for the 'yotes after he nearly killed Hossa.

Hope the Flyers close it out tonight!

[Grndslmhttr3]

Shanahan only suspended Neal for going after Giroux, not for the blatant blindside charge on Couturier. Can't say I agree with that, but hopefully the series ends today, anyway.

That Penguins/Flyers game tonight was an absolute joke

[Grndslmhttr3]

Yeah, that was tough to watch. Hopefully Lavy will light a fire under their asses so they can continue to dominate at Consol Energy Center.

[Grndslmhttr3]

The Flyers' inability to score even-strength goals the last couple games is starting to worry me, but it's good to see their power play is still clicking. I DID originally pick the Flyers to win in 6, though, so maybe that'll come true!

[darkhunter139]

Yeah that was my original prediction as well.  And lucky for me I am going to the game tomorrow! I hope I get to see a handshake line.

[Grndslmhttr3]

Lucky. I've never been to a playoff game of any sort; woulda killed to have been at the Wells Fargo Center for game 3.

I know dude I almost went to game 3 but decided not too.  Hopefully tomorrow is good!

I got my ticket on stubhub earlier this morning for $90 which isn't too bad.  This will be my first Flyers playoff game but I went to game 4 of the Phillies 2009 NLCS vs the Dodgers when Jimmy Rollins got a walk off hit in the 9th.  Such an amazing game, its worth the price if you can get lucky enough to see a win.

[darkhunter139]

Well that was well worth the $90 I spent on the ticket!! Awesome effort, Giroux was so pumped up after the first goal and the crowd was nuts the whole game.  Lets go Flyers! Can't wait for round 2.

The two games I watched today were the first games I've watched all the way through this entire season. I guess I picked a good day though, two pretty entertaining games.
