2. Hines Ward
3. Marc-Andre Fleury
4. Darius Kasparaitus
5. Marty Brodeur”

“OMG, Style too”

“Sniff Sniff ... only number 4 ... That's it for you Tango.

My poor Lithuanian heart is broken.

“If you remember Darius you left me! Heading out to Colorado! And then OMG getting married!”

“Hey Darius, how's watching the game from the locker room? Enjoy your game misconduct.”

“What happened?”

“An elbow to the head. Actually it was between the elbow and shoulder. It probably wouldn’t have been called if he didn’t follow through with it.”

“On who?”

“On Erik Rasmussen I believe. It happened early in the 1st.”

“Thank you.

I'm still in the afterglow of the Steelers win!!!!!”

“DAMN! Devils had a 1:06 of 5 on 3 and couldn't get the puck in the net. Lundquist is really on his game tonight.”

“GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“That goalie is kick butt! Especially for a rookie!

I agree Chappy!! Woo Hoo!!!”

“No football talk on the hockey thread.
;-)”

“Anybody want Nash? He's just sitting on my bench. Let me know who you'll give up in exchange.

Maybe I should post this on the fantasy thread.”

“The Waddles sure do make a fight of it. If it wasn't for Fleury though, the score would have been 10-2.

John Leclair spent the second intermission watching his son play in a PeeWee exhibition, then greeted the team when they came off the ice.

I know they had to cut him, but it does not seem right to see John playing in another jersey. Also sad that they dealt Jon Sim to Florida for a sixth round pick in 2007. I thought he showed promise. Too many centers though.”

“Worry not Geo, You'll see John in the Orange and Black again.

I'll take the empty net goal by Gagne too.”

“PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Penguins star and owner Mario Lemieux, one of hockey's greatest players, is retiring for the second time, a team official said Tuesday.

Lemieux, a Hall of Famer who won Stanley Cups and scoring titles and then battled through cancer and heart problems in a comeback, will announce his decision at a news conference later Tuesday.”

“Does this mean a second chance for Darius, poor guy?”

“Oh yeah ......


Penguins Suck! ”

“Hey, that second photo is the coach of the first place team.”

“Mario Lemieux said Tuesday he would likely have surgery to treat his heart condition because he hadn't tolerated well the drugs he's taking to slow down his heart rate.
"I don't feel great every day when I get up," Lemieux told reporters at a news conference announcing his retirement. "I don't feel 100 percent."

Lemieux said the medicine is causing him fatigue, a common side-effect from heart medications.

Lemieux said he's considering a procedure known as ablation and could have it done within a month or two.

The procedure is reserved for young, otherwise healthy patients, according to Dr. David Schwartzman, director of the atrial arrhythmia center at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

Patients are typically required to take blood thinning medication a month before the surgery and two months after the procedure.

Lemieux said taking the blood thinners would prevent him from playing hockey.



I thought it was the first one I get those 2 mixed up!

“everything you need to know about hockey can be found at this site. *sniff, sniff* Brings back memories of Flyers/Rangers match-ups of the 70s

“Holy pazoolas, talk about a testosterone overload!!! Thanks Limpy.”

“I don't like the fights, especially when the players drop the gloves and then dance around for a few minutes. I can understand if it is instantaneous.

But I LOVE good hits!!!

Here is some good hits:

“How about that hit on the Zebra Monday night.

A Flutter and a Waddle got him sandwiched between him and took him into the boards.

His chimes are still ringing!”

“Geo he shouldn't have been there!

Crosby vs Ovechkin tonight.

My love Martin had another shut out!!!”

“They're showing Mario highlights on the big screen in the Civic Arena. I had a tear come to my eye! What a super player!

Good to see the Devils didn't lose their momentum with the end of their 9 game winning streak. Of all the teams to lose too, why did it have to be the evil Rangers?”

“GO PENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Buffalo Sabres center Tim Connolly, whose left knee was injured after a hit by Rangers defenseman Darius Kasparaitis, will miss at least six weeks.
Sabres coach Lindy Ruff called the hit in Tuesday's game a cheap shot on Connolly, who was tied for the team lead with 38 points.
"I thought it was cheap. I thought he went low at the knees," Ruff said yesterday.
In the second period of the Sabres' 2-1 win, Connolly was skating with the puck and was struck directly on the knee by hip check along the boards by Kasparaitis, who was not penalized.”

“Hey It's not my fault his knee got in my way!”

“Welcome back JONI PITKANNEN! Second year defenseman coming back off of injury to score the first goal for the Flyers tonight and then the game winner in OT. Gotta love an up and coming D-man”

“Holy Pete Rose, they snarfed up Rick Tocchet in a betting bust.”

“With the Senators run out of town and the Flyers finally in the rear view mirror (which took a trip to Broad St, mind you), things are once again looking up in New York.

Gotta keep an eye out on New Jersey though; they've been making a lot of ruckus since picking up Elias...

“RANGERS SUCK!
;-)”

“Not this year they don't...”

“Enjoy it while you can.

Mike Richards got the hat trick last night, two of the goals short-handed. The last was an empty netter while the Flyers were down two players on the ice.”

“Actually, if you ask me, all 3 teams are going to the playoffs (Philly, New York Rangers, and New Jersey) -- it's just going to be a matter of rank and who gets home advantages and the better first-round match-ups.”

“It also depends on how much long this team consists of the walking wounded. The Olympic break will be welcome for the most part, except we have quite a few guys playing for their countries. But at least guys on the DL will have a chance to heal (I hope).

We've got Forsberg and Nedved both out. Man, Forsberg must be made of glass!”

“Well, everyone's got their weaknesses:

The Flyers seem to be very injury-prone

The Rangers, being Jagr and a bunch of no-name kids, have a severe lack of experience

And the Devils -- well let's just face it -- they're not nearly as powerful without Scott Stevens.”

“All we can say in Philly is that our DL can whup anybody else's DL.”

“LOL@GEO!”

“The Flutters play tonight and tomorrow night before the Olympic break. Tonight the Craps and tomorrow night at the Ottowa Sins. Forsberg won't be able to play, but he's saying he will play for Sweden in the Olympics. Ed Snider is less than happy over that.”

“Unstoppable -- The Rangers' tear picks up just where it left off. Today, Broad Street; on Saturday we take over the swamp...”

“Islanders and Devils go to a shootout”

“LOL! The Wings lose their first game back because they were missing their gold medal winning Swedes....last night the Swedes are back and the Wings win with Zetterberg, Holmstrom, and Lidstrom all getting at least a point.

The second half of the season is gonna be great!”

“go penguins”
