Vokoun didn't want to sign with Philly. They talked to him. I said if they were gonna do anything they should have sent out offers for Schneider, Bernier, and Rask, then if nothing happened just ride Bob.
Hah, I didn't actually know he denied them. Strange. Anyway, good thing the Flyers can score goals.
 
Just woke up, sounds like it was a crazy game. Fuck yes @ finally beating the Caps at CEC. Fuck yes @ 6 in a row. Fuck yes @ Malkin continuing to be unstoppable. Fuck What? @ Ovi's flying hit to the head on Michalek.
 
I also can't believe the amount of shit Leighton gets for that Playoff, he was a big reason that they got so far in the beginning.

After playing well against Montreal he completely fell apart in the Stanley Cup Finals. If he was even mediocre, then the Flyers win, but he couldn't even manage that.

Bryz is a huge waste of money, but Flyers goalies have always being bad in the shootout. That's why they're 19-37 with a .569 SV% since shootouts were introduced.

Get healthy Sid. The thought of our second line having two of the league's Top 5 goal scorers on it gets me so hard I pass out. If we find a decent winger for Sid by the trade deadline and he gets healthy for the playoffs? Shit is gonna get real.

To be fair, Michalek had a dirty hit on Hendricks (I believe). He was lucky to get two imo.

Sorry but marshmallow head is done and why would you want to throw him into the playoffs where he will get another concussion for sure.

It's been over a year now, trolling with Crosby nonsense doesn't work on me anymore. You'll have to find a new angle.
 
What I mean is it is so selfish of you as a fan to want the Penguins to throw Crosby right into the playoffs even if they think he is healthy. He couldn't handle a slight love tap and now you think he will survive the high intensity of playoff hockey after sitting out for 4 months?

The fuck are you talking about? If he's healthy why wouldn't he play? If he's not healthy, which pens fan said he has to play? It sure as hell wasn't Spire.
 
Glad Bruce is back
Sad Bryz still sucks
Mad that the flyers can't win a shoot out, and Pitt wins every fucking OT game they play
 
I missed Horton getting a head injury and leaving the game today. How bad did the hit look? I guess he stayed on for a few shifts after so hopefully it wasnt too bad.
 
youre gonna feel the wrath of bryzgalov today homie. he aint gonna be giving up no 5 goals this time.

predicted stats:
bryzgalov - 32 save shutout
giroux - hat trick
sestito - 2 fights, a questionable hit and game misconduct
Holy shit this prediction is all over the place but some of the stuff was not far from the mark. Kind of like a drunk fortune teller.

Bryz did allow 5 goals
Hat trick for Hartnell
Sestito with a questionable hit
32 saves for Bryz

Uncanny
 
I'm not a doctor, so I'll trust whatever the Pens' medical staff says about Crosby. They're being really careful as is, especially with the rumours that some teammates allegedly think he's milking it. I don't buy into those rumours, but there seems to be a feeling that the Pens may be being TOO careful...so if the med staff says he's ready to go at any time this season, I'll trust them. I want him to be genuinely healthy, though, but you never know with concussions. Even if he's cleared, there's no guarantee if he'll react well to a game hit.
 
How does one "milk" a concussion unless they want an extended vacation? And Crosby would be the last person to want that, I'd think.

I'm pretty sure that rumor was pure nonsense.


I could see Crosby returning this year. The only symptoms he has right now are some minor motion issues. He's working out and skating consistently, I wouldn't be shocked if we hear that he's been cleared for practice within the next few weeks.
 
Alucard I do not how you can say you trust the Penguins doctors when it was their mistakes that put Crosby in the status he's currently in right now. Spire I also cannot see how you can call motion issues as being minor.
