It's Hockey Season!!

“I KNOW AND I AM READY!!! Get in the fast lane Granny the bingo games about to begin!!!”

“LET'S GO PENS!
LET'S GO PENS!
LET'S GO PENS!

HERE WE GO PENGUINS... HERE WE GO!”

“1 point better than nothin'. They gave the game away. Great game though.”

“Tango you Pittsburgians need to whip Malkin into shape. I have him on my fanatasy hockey team and he's not scoring enough!”

“Are Penguins native to Pittsburgh?”

“What a game. I thought the Devils were done. 3 way tie for first in the Atlantic.”

“Malkin is 11th in points and only 9 points down from Ovechkin. I wish Staal would step it up.

Yes MarkO. It was an expansion team.

Some killer saves from both goalies.”

“If I was the Pens I'd leave Conklin as the starter. He's a big reason they are doing so well. Once everyone is healthy they are a really scary team.”

“Great game between the Flutters and Trashers last night. Good to see Mark Recchi, but he did not have a great night.

No fights in spite of great checks. They just played good old time hockey: put da puck in da net, eh?”

“Ron Hextall was inducted into the Flyers Hall of Fame at last night's game. Among other things, he said the Flyers fans are the most passionate about the game and he and the fans were made for each other.

During the ceremony, the fans chanted Hextall, Hextall, Hextall.

He damn near broke up at one point and said, "So much for Mr. Tough Guy!"

The team could have used him in the game, whacking opposing players and maybe scoring a goal. As it was, back to back games and flu bugs rendered the team very sluggish.

The Broadway Blues come to town on Saturday. We want that one!”

“Take em out, because if there is one team I hate more than the Flyers, it the Rags. What ever happens, the game better not go to OT.”

“Back in the old six team league when Emil "The Cat" Francis was the coach and Eddie Giacomin was the goalie, the Big Bad Bruins used to regularly beat the crap out them, both physically and in goals scored. A Bruin would take out a NY player and nothing would happen. The rest of the team would just watch it happen and do nothing.”

“nogranola- Happy now? Malkin is only 3 points behind the points leader Ovechkin.”

“Yes I'm happy. Malkin is spankin!”

Anyone catch this game? That's some scary stuff, getting slashed in the neck with a blade like that.”

“I saw the Malarchuk injury on TV when it happened and it was incredibly frightening. I never saw so much blood so fast! As I recall it, he was down on hs knees clutching his neck and the blood was splashing to the ice in a rapidly growing pool. Both men are very lucky.”

“He's in stable condition now after surgery.

Here is the link to the video:

“Zednik went home Friday after being released Thursday evening, officials at Buffalo General Hospital said. Zednik lost five pints of blood when he was accidentally sliced by the skate of teammate Olli Jokinen in a game against the Sabres.

The 32-year-old forward said he barely felt the skate slice into his carotid artery, but with blood gushing from his neck he knew he was in trouble. �I was like, Whoa. I knew I had to get to the bench.�”

“Woo, Devils are down only 2 points from taking the eastern conference lead.”

“Good game Saturday between Flyers and Canadians. Nice to see Jean Beliveau in the stands and not lurking in the slot.

Didn't see last night's game due to another commitment. Just as well. The Flutters are not looking good at all these days.”

“Guess who are tied for 1st in the east? Pretty good for a team everyone was saying wouldn't make the playoffs back in July.”

“Philly got slaughtered by the PENS!! I guess they don't have any goalies left. We've owned both of Philly's goalies today!!!

FINAL 7-1

Too bad that 1 goal had to ruin the shut out for Fleury!!!

1 point away from leading the Eastern Conference!”

“1 point away from leading the Eastern Conference!”

The Devil's aren't going to give that up without a fight. ;-)”

“Yes I know! I still Love Marty!

The Pens scoring has been GREAT the last 2 games! I hope they keep it up!

KILL THE DEVILS! KILL THE DEVILS! KIIIIIILL THE DEVILS!!!”

“The Flutters have self-destructed before my very eyes. It's not pretty to watch.”

“ooh, we went to our first hockey game last week...the grandgirl loved it, especially all the fights!”

“LET'S GO! DROP THE PUCK! KILL THE DEVILS! KILL THE DEVILS!!!! KILLLLLLLL THE DEVILS!!!!!

(sorry Marty but I gotta root against you!)”

“Devils are better. Marty is better.”

“Don't know about that! Any team can beat any other team on any given day! Hope its Pittsburgh's day!!!”

“MALKIN 100 PTS THIS SEASON!!!!”

“101! WOO HOO!!!”

“102!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“PENGUINS BEAT THE DEVILS LIKE A RENTED MULE!!!!!!

7-1 WOW WHAT A GREAT GAME!!!!!!!!”

“ATOP THE ATLANTIC DIVISION!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“PENGUINS beat the flyers tonight to clinch the Atlantic division! WOO HOO!!!!”

“Yet another reason to hate the Flyers.”

“They were really after Crosby last night and he beat Biron like a rented mule twice!!! That last goal where he redirected Gonchar's shot between his own legs to beat Biron was FANTASTIC! Beautiful!!!”

“Boston got lucky last night to get a point in that game. I'm still pissed that Zubrus' goal didn't count. Thomas knew it went in or he wouldn't have shot the puck into the corner after play stopped.”

“The wild are playing for their first division title tonight, a single win in their next two games will clinch it! :D I was at the Avs game on Sunday, A solid period of play followed by two piss poor periods, resulted in an overtime win by the Gaby. I'm on my way out the door to watch this game at the bar. Watch out, here come the wild!”

“PENS VS FLYERS!

RIGHT NOW!

PENS COULD HAVE HOME ICE ADVANTAGE AND THE EASTERN CONFERENCE TITLE!”

“So far nothing. I need Malkin to pick up a hat trick!”

“Dang No G, I din't know you too were a hockey puck.”

“They looked like H E double hockey sticks! Got blanked! We play the Sens. Flyers play the Caps.”

“Devils finally beat the Rangers today. Should be an interesting series between them.”

“Flyers squeaked into the playoffs by an a$$hair!”

“Rangers Devils series starts tonight. Here's hoping for a repeat of 2006.”

“Pens, Sens tonight also!!! I hope it's a complete opposite of what happened last year!”
