Series Thread: Eastern Conference Final - Sens vs Pens

[dash]

Well, if these playoffs have shown us anything, it's that a multi-goal lead is as safe as a cub being held by a mother bear.

Bonino with a hell of a period, he was all over the place.

 

[Jared]

What a play by Haggelin.

These Sens are like cockroaches

Wow, frenetic last 20 seconds, but the Pens hold on.

Somebody needs to put Grapes in the corner.

Last two games haven't gone as I've hoped for, but you cannot ask for better watching hockey.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Huh, I seem to have won some vcash.

Good thing for the pens this didn't go to OT

Wow, frenetic last 20 seconds, but the Pens hold on.

Had to listen to radio while driving to Toronto, but sounded pretty exciting at the end. Sounded like a pretty stupid play by Cole to make it closer than expected.

Radio went out a few times, but sounds like Pens lost another D?

 

[Darkstone42]

That will never not be funny.

 

[Dacks]

LOL. No high stick. Ruhwedel fakes then gets drilled. Good.

Jesus, think about it for a minute. I don't remember any particular dirty plays Ruhwedel has done, but are you honestly celebrating someone getting a concussion? Knowing what we do about the potential effects on quality of life? I mean, hockey is exciting and all, but laughing at a headshot, saying "Good"... I just gotta shake my head.

Legal or not, and I'm not sure it is, Ryan can easily play the puck, maybe even generate an offensive chance, but goes in for a headshot on a very vulnerable player. Seems like a pretty vindictive thing to wish on somebody, as a fan.

How soon Pens fans forget. Ulf and Cooke?

I never celebrated their dirty hits though? That's kind of the difference. I thought Cooke on Savard was dirty as sh!t, and didn't celebrate it at all.

 

[Dacks]

Again, dirty and unnecessary. You won't find me saying "good". I'm having trouble understanding your point, as it relates to what I said.

On top of which, it's not even a relevant counterargument. That the Penguins have had players do dirty things does not excuse everyone else from doing them, and cheering for a team who once employed players guilty of that certainly doesn't excuse celebrating someone receiving a brain injury.

I cheered for Matt Cooke to do good hockey things. I hated when he did stuff like the Savard hit. I never celebrate a player getting injured. Especially not with something with such long-term consequences as a concussion.

 

[Dacks]

I mean, I can post youtubes of various Marchand antics, you'll respond with some Malkin shots, maybe I'll post Alfie on Tucker... but you're not going to find me celebrating a player getting injured.

 

[BF4L]

No you did not but you preference your reply with Legal or not.

The hit Cooke delivered on Savard was legal then.

The cheap shot that Ulf did was legal then.

Mario whined about this kinda of stuff all the time yet employed Cooke. Fuck him.
