I would bet that one of the two guys in stripes(with no armbands) said to the other "wrong guy in the box"! And I'd bet the farm that the guy replied with "are you 100% sure"? More often than not us "lineys" can make a "Ref" a hero or a goat, and on occation I've said to myself "#@&*him(or not)" for lots of different reasons!

That was priceless! The wrong man in the penalty box in the last minutes of a semi. I was screaming at the TV (not the first time). Oh my goodness.

All said, WOW! Great hockey. Few offsides and such, very little chippy... fast... exciting.

Oh no-- did they really double up the scheds for this round?

OK! That's what the DVR is for then! If no DVR, sometimes NHL radio or teams' websites have allowed a day-after listen to the audio.

...surely they CAN'T be doing drugs?....

A leaguefull of unusually big, very young guys bulked up (in one summer) before their time? Across the whole league? Having to bulk up to keep a roster spot (Ryan Malone, please come home)?

DRUGS involved?

I would hope not, but I'm a cycling fan too, so....

Naw, "our" PENS couldn't be. But they could, too....

Susan! Them lads don't use any kinda drugs do they? They are young men in their prime... maybe... I have said more than once that I can't believe they get so winded after a few minutes on the ice... surely they CAN'T be doing drugs?

Seriously, if a tennis or squash player can stay on the court for four hours ON FOOT, why can't these guys stay on the ice for more than several minutes? No way they are doing drugs (are they really ya think?). Or is it about strategy?

Amen! GO BROONS!

Still disgusted with Pens. I suspect they had the wrong energy drink-- thought it was caff but not-- because they all seem to have had the same malaise. They look, in the lowlights, to us-- like people missing their performance-enhancing stuff of whatever sort is possible to squeak thru the drug tests this year.

Well, refter, I did allus like them Habs. No wait-- there were a couple of chippy years recently when they didn't execute and win well-- but the real Habs, the classic Habs, the LETHAL Habs-- damn the Pens but GO HABS GO!

UNTIL they meet the Hawks that is, and then... another tough choice for us.

And then by next year I hope to be able to cheer the Pens again without gagging on our BBQ. :~)

~S~... not intended? Then why did you insult me? Your words, not mine. You posted them, not me. Those are your words.

Re posting about what happens on the ice, go for it. Better than insulting me and millions of viewers with that assinine comment and then crapping on me about it. Your call.

Subject: RE: BS: NHL Reg Season '09-'010
From: wysiwyg
Date: 12 May 10 - 08:04 PM

OK, gnu, read another insult where none was intended. Here:

We always turn off the TV as soon as our Pens piss away a game, sometimes before it ends, so we missed all that and I've erased the game.

I hate to take such a negative view as the "final word" on it, but I have no comeback because I didn't see what you guys saw.

Maybe it will turn up in tonight's coverage-- the local commentators we watch are no "homers" and I have often seen them decry Pens' actions when warranted.

Of course the league also is watching and anything really egregious is always suspension-worthy-- stars or no stars.

===

Now. SOMEONE who posted above seems, to me, to have "seen" a whiner and a purposeful check, who APPARENTLY can read minds.

Instead of reading minds, or taking the assessment of people who seem to think they can, I simply prefer to take the League's harsh judgment-- which I am sure they will mete out if it is warranted. They were not afraid to suspend Ovie this year, or others, eh?

Or if you like I can post a gripe every time SID is cross-checked, slewfooted, and stickbutted-- and there is no call-- and then attack anyone who politely fails to agree. As you did!

If you prefer that kind of posting, by golly, I can do that too! :~)


BUT I WILL (PROBABLY) NOT CLAIM TO READ HOCKEY PLAYERS' MINDS.

I DID see our alternative team put the Canucks out, last night, and I hope to see the Habs retire gracefully for the year this evening, plus-- is the Boston series closing tonight?

I've always thought so. One look at Sid and you can tell if he is upset. If I was a coach I would be after him always. He is just one of these folks that cannot hide his emotions and it shows very clearly with his facial expressions.

Nail on the head Bobad. Sid is a kid with an attitude. To immature to have been made captain in my books. Just fed in his immature ego. I still think he will turn it around in a year or two. In the mean time he may really blow it with some stupid incident which he may cause. Could happen and with Sid's temper. It is very possible and it would be a shame.

You're right gnu, Sid is a special player but if is going to attain the stature of greatness accorded to players such as Howe, Belliveau, Gretzky etc. he has to ditch the cry baby routine. Hopefully that will come with maturity.

I hope the Habs win, just so that kinda shit doesn't get any kinda reward.

The Pens are a great team, and Sid the Kid is an amazing player.... but that kinda crap sportsmanship was never allowed on my rink. What a fuckin pussy.

That WAS kinda what his reaction looked like. OMG I am getting to be a hockey commentator.

Gnu refers to the Chi/Vanc game BTW, which Vanc won, staving off elimination.

Tonight's games are Pens-Habs and Broons-Flyers. I think. I get mixed up! I am not sure which towns they're in tonight. I THINK we are down to these three series. I think it's gonna be Pens and Hawks at the end. Our earliest prediction at home; our best fantasy, and our worst nightmare. Faulkner will lose his mind.

Salo was hospitalized after blocking a shot in the midsection from Chicago's Duncan Keith in the dying seconds of the first period. The Canucks would not disclose the nature of the ailment, but the word around the United Center after the game was that Salo had suffered a ruptured testicle.
