As much as I like this Rangers team I'm so freaking jealous we don't have a Sidney Crosby. He's one of the best players in the league and he's only 20. 20 FREAKING YEARS OLD!!! Rangers have some good, young players and we'll be ok after Jagr and Shanahan but we don't have anyone like that.

Yeah, it's incredible that we have two players like that on the same team. That's why I'm certain we'll win at least one Stanley Cup. An embarassment of riches, like when we already had Lemieux and then got Jagr.

Just think, not long ago it wasn't even known if we'd keep hockey in da 'Burgh. You never know when you'll get a great young talent though, Assface. The Rangers aren't on my hated list (save for this series), so I hope they do find a Sidney Crosby.

:D

On a side note, I was surprised how clean this game was. Yeah, both sides had a few small cheap shots, but nothing like what I expected. To be honest, I expected the flyers to revert to their thug fallback, like the stuff you tried to pull near the end of the season. Instead, kudos to that philly team for keeping it clean!

:thumbup: :D

So, the refs rob us of one goal, we give another goal away on a short-handed breakaway...and we STILL win by 2. God, it feels good to be the better team by far in terms of quality. As much as I said it was a clean game in game 1, it was dirty in game 2. And the funny thing is that when the thug cryers started getting dirty, they looked shocked that we returned the favor, with a little more brains and a lot more effectiveness. I've been hearing some cryers fans...well, crying about the officiating. How about Rutuu gets called for diving when slammed in the back by the goalie (he got a bad call because of his rep, which got him an earned penalty earlier)? How about one of the two cryer goals came on a bogus penalty when their player flopped to the ice from a little shove? How about the myriad cheap shots after the whistles the refs ignored? Cryers, you are reaping the whirlwind, my hapless enemies, and we're providing the fuel for you to burn yourselves on. Have fun watching us in the Cup.

The fact that you said this is our house on a message board is kinda funny. What, exactly, is your house, Stout? :p

You're just pissed cause the Rangers suck my ass!

I didn't quote your post, Stout, but, wow, you got a lotta hate for the Flyers, huh? I agree that you guys got robbed of a goal No question there. Your comment about winning by two is okay, though the last goal was open net (though I guess you are counting that as a make up goal for the one that didn't count).There were a few offsides and other calls that weren't made, but so it goes in the NHL.

I don't have a house, Wendy. That's why I had to move in with the pens ;)

Yeah, I have a lot of hate for the cryers. Don't you have a lot of hate for the pens? I always thought it was just a natural, cross-state hatred.

Wow. Okay, I take nothing away from the Flyers at all. They came out and flat-out earned the lead. They've played aggressively in the 1st period and deserve to be ahead. That said, this game so far is the single worst officiated NHL game I have ever seen. Apparently it's legal for you to continue to hit after the whistle, constantly...if you're a Flyer. If you respond, well, that's just not allowed. Also, it's apparently illegal for you to ever touch another player, because if you simply touch a player with your hand...not hold, not punch, but TOUCH, it's a penalty...if your a Penguin. The tally thus far? Flyers 1, Refs 2, Pens 0. Okay, that's a tad unfair. The Flyers still had to score the puck, but they were handed two powerplays on golden platters. I mean, how DARE Gonchar touch a Flyer? How DARE Orpik become miffed at being cross-checked in the back after the whistle? Sheesh.

Thankfully the officiating actually became good in the 2nd and 3rd. Man, we made a heck of a run at tying it up. Oh well. A last gasp from a desperate beast. We'll close it out a home, just like with the Rangers. I am getting tired of the awful Versus crew, though. A fight breaks out, so we go to hockey central? Ugh.

Tough break, but at least I get to watch the game on Sunday. Sucks having to work late, especially when the East Coast games are on. I think NBC does a great job, too, and it will be nice to watch the game in Pittsburgh. Go Pens.
