Gaddammit. All these shit goals against us.

Good news is that we just need to keep plugging away. We're playing great.

But.

 

[bacon]

Agreed on very impressive D to even have a chance last night.

 

[PuckOff]

I have to admit it thatthe Habs are playing very well. They are playing and standing up for each other as a team.

 

[Matty]

Fleury sucks.

 

[reno cool]

take that back

 

[Matty]

Fleury the goalie is awful.

 

[bacon]

He's a "zone" guy but he doesn't hit it that often. When he does they're pretty much unbeatable though.

 

[Matty]

He's awful, he's had the luxury of playing for a massively offensive team and he has crappy numbers.

He has no "zone", he sucks.

 

[bacon]

He seems to get shit done when it counts. Sometimes. Which is more than most.

 

[Mudcat]

I know he has been to a couple Cup finals and won one, which not many humans on planet earth can say.

But I hear people who watch the game roundly criticizing him quite a bit.

 

[reno cool]

how long before Toews starts crying and Minnesota feels obliged to let Chicago win?

 

[reno cool]

up and down action. not bad

 

[bacon]

Bryzzy is winning these games for Minnesota. If you want to be richer than the universe see that guy.

I hope they win the cup.

 

[reno cool]

breeeeezegalov! He faced 5 shots and stopped a couple of em

 

[bacon]

Reno what do you think Philly would do if he leads them to the cup while cashing in that buy out.

I am a Flyers fan but man I'd sit that war out.

 

[reno cool]

Eh you know, money matters. Thats for the agents to deal with. If somebody made the wrong decision its not the players fault.
Bryzgalov struggles, but I root for him. He's not as good as the other goalies, he's not as big as some, or as quick as others. But if Wild plays like this he just need to get lucky a couple of times

It was a good ass kicking last night. Where was Chicago? Kane hardly touched the puck, Towes was mentioned once (crying about something). Can't win with Hossa alone. (we know that from the Olympics)
I love a good underdog. cant help it

 

[bacon]

I'll admit I feel the hate. Not because of the money - is it my money? Of course not. When we were pushing hard for the playoffs he said a bunch of negative shit but I get that he crumbled under the pressure. How can you go negative and hopeless though, this is my main complaint as well as many Flyers fans. He gave up but man, it's really a tough gig but I'm not sure Steve Mason feels the same way. I'd rather someone gives up 5 goals a game than resorts to defeatism when shit's on the line. He is an asshole and I don't wish him well . When you're making millions at least try to fight for the people paying it.

Chicago seems to be on or off but when they are on no one is touching them except maybe LA.

I'm getting a feeling the Chi/LaK winner will win the cup, pretty quickly too.

 

[reno cool]

hmm, well I don't know what did he say? I believe in not asking players questions. Russian players in general arent as fanatical about winning as the NA counterparts at least appear to be. He prob felt too much pressure/ negativity and said fuck it
