Its always easier to hate a pest who plays for a team you hate. Hey, Im a Leafs fan un fortunately, and right now I hate Tucker too. Only because dickheads making over 3 mil a year, refused to waive his no trade and doesnt produce or hit. He only had a good year last year because every goal he scored was a one timer from Kaberle on the doorstep at a wide open net.
Anyways, yes Brodeur showed a lack of class when he didnt shake hands, but no way in hell would I shake that guys hand either. Avery shows a lack of class everytime he steps on the ice. When he digs into personal life to get under your skin, or when he whips a water bottle into the crowd and almost hits little kids. Or when he cheers in your face when he scores, or does pushups. What a tool. Talk about no class.

Anyways, Avs have been disappointing, Dallas has been surprising, Price needs to find his confidence, just like the Montreal snipers, and go Pens tonight. If the NHL lets the Rangers trade Avery mid playoffs to Russia or something, then I might not care if Rangers win.

Wow...the Penguins are scary good right now. Game one they win 5-4 in an all offense game after trailing 3-0. Game 2 they "outRanger'd" the Rangers. What i mean is they played the Rangers type of physical, dump n chase kind of game and won a shut out 2-0. Now in game three they just proved how dominant and resiliant they are once again. They took a 3-1 lead...played the worst 2nd period of hockey i have ever seen and let the Rags tie it up at three, then Malkin just continues his brilliant play and the Pens win 5-3.

I predicited this would be a 4-2 series win for the Pens but i really think the Rangers will say "how the hell are we supposed to beat these guys?" and I think the Pens stay perfect in the playoffs and get the sweep thursday.

I haven't watched alot of games out west due to work, but the Stars have been real solid and are a nice suprise because I like Dallas. Wings are solid too but I think they are beatable.

LET'S GO PENS!!

There is no way in hell I would've predicted this much domination in rd. 2...not only by the Pens (who do look close to unbeatable) but i thought the Avs might show up and I sure as hell thought the Sharks would've made a series with the Stars.......

Yeah same here i really thought penguins were going to have to fight super hard to beat NYR but i guess not, they are pretty much godly atm.

Actually it should be a close match between Pittsburgh and Philly hopefully it would be boring if pittsburgh walked over every team in the east. I am really rooting for Philly to upset Pittsburgh.

Well, you knew they weren't going to go 16-0 (Pens)
What the hell was Malkin thinking on his penalty shot???? If he went any slower he would've been standing still!!!
I'm a little disapointed in Malkin tonight.....I like him a lot, but 2 slew foots tonight.....one of the dirtiest plays in the game is the slew foot, and he did it twice......pretty minor ones, but still....he needs to be better than that!

I second that. Malkin has quickly become one of my favourite players. But I couldn't do anything but shake my head when he slew footed Mara twice. Such a dirty disgusting play, and I can't believe Mara kept somewhat of a cooler head on it. I know if it was me, I'd be after the guy in a heartbeat. What made it even worse is that Malkin would quickly skate away after each one. Shame on him.

That Flyers game was really surprising. Not only the game but the whole series in general. Poor Carey Price though. What amazed me, and I have to say was very uplifting, were the Habs fans last night. Wow, I am impressed. After Price let in 3 goals, a couple which were softies within 3 minutes to allow the Flyers to take the lead, the crowd started chanting "Carey, Carey, Carey!" I've never seen anything like that. Instead of jumping on his back, heckling him, or even booing, they encourage him and try to motivate him. That was fantastic. Plus, after the empty netter to put the Flyers up by 2 with one minute to play, instead of booing the fans chanted "Ole, Ole Ole Ole" That was something else. Way to go Habs fans. I have to admit they are true fans of their team.
