It's Hockey Season!!

“I am still riding high from last night. I love Simon Gagne but did he have to score and ruin Fleury's shut out? Very chippy out there last night too.

Thanks for the link Peps.

"We held a conference call Monday with the general managers and coaches of playoff teams and told them explicitly we would not tolerate attempts by clubs to 'send a message' late in a game when the outcome had been determined," said Colin Campbell, the NHL's Senior Executive V.P. of Hockey Operations. "Organizations, players and coaches will be held accountable for such actions."

I'd expect something like that from the goon hartnell but Carcillo wow.

“The Flyers haven't been the same since they traded Scottie Upshall for Carcillo. And the trade was made specifically because of Carcillo's record. I think Homer said "The Philly fans will love this guy." What's shocking is the suspension for only two games.

That game was lost after the first goal. The Flyers tanked. Not a hint of life.

I hope the real Flyers show up tonight. I wish we had Upshall back.”

“I was pretty surprised they gave Upshall up for Carcillo... Upshall has potential and a future - Carcillo seems to just be another goon.

Watching the Flames/Hawks game last night, it looked to me like Cammalieri did the EXACT same thing to Havlat that Carcillo did... I wonder if he'll have a suspension coming too”

“OMG What a game! Penguins win in OT. Bill Guerin GWG!”

“Wooo! Devils finally beat the Canes in OT!!”

“Wings up 2-0, Sharks down 2-0!”

“Dang.....the Habs can't buy a win over Boston.”

“The 'greatest' player in the NHL Ovechkin has 24 SOG and no goals! Actually has taken 44 shots!”

“I should have added, in the 3 playoff games he's played.”

“That's because Zach Parise is actually better. 8D”

“Sid and Evgeni are better than both of them.”

“Those washed up nobodies? ;-)”

“PENS WIN!!!!

PENGUINS lead series 3-1 and head back to Pittsburgh for game 5!!!”

“Ouch!! Devils come back from a 3 goal deficit only to lose with 2 tenths of a second left on the clock.”

“Look for me at the Hawks game this Saturday! Whoo Hoo!”

“Only silly libbies like the Blackhawks. ;-)”

“Boston is looking like quite the behemoth against Montreal... I'm very impressed”

“I will bring a sign with that says, "silly libbie."

lol lol lol lol”

“Enjoy the game.”

“Montreal's centennial celebrations crushed by the Big Bad Bruins tonight....
Canadiens got swept in 4 in the first round. At least we didn't get a riot this year.......”

“FLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Your truly was in attendance at last nights matchup between the Hawks and Calgary.

Seats in the 4th row at center ice are a wonderful experience. I tried taking a picture to prove it, however it was difficult capturing the "bouncing" pucks.

More in a second....”

“WOW! that was a full diaper!

Okay, back to the game. It wasn't long until I got to see the bounce. The Hawks scored thrice in the first period. I mentioned earlier that we were seated fourth row center right? Along with expensive comes well to do persons.

I was not sure whether to keep my eyes on the puck, or the bouncing pair of pucks sitting next to me.

the first score by the Hawks diverted my view from the celebration on the ice to seat 11, next door.

When the Hawks score, they play the song "Chelsea Dagger" from the Fratellis. A rocking little number that causes attractive young brunettes with large "pucks" to jump up and down.

The Hawks scored 5 times! That is a lot of jumping up and down and the eyes turning to watch multiplied each score.

Did I mention I was watching hockey/

GO HAWKS!”

“WK is a hockey puck.

How do you know what color her hair was?”

“yup another flyer exit... oh well at least i wont be missing anything worthwhile as i hike...

“Can you walk.................yet?”

“I'm getting worried..

The Penguins crush the Caps in the deciding game, and there are no Tango sitings on the board...

“She gloated all over Facebook, and probably Twitter too. So many websites; so little time.”

“.......a language all their own.”

“Great at least another week of man crushing Sid.

>:-p”

“I've been working!!! And on a HUGE HIGH! If drugs were only this good!

And I was not gloating. I was merely stating facts. Except for MM she was being mean to me so I had to do a little dance!

“Bring on those douchebag Red Wings”

“WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! PENS BEAT THE canes 6-2!!! LEAD THE SERIES 3-0!!!!!!!”

“HOW 'BOUT THEM PENGUINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SWEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!”

“Back to Pittsburgh tomorrow! Kick the Wings butts!!!”

“http://msn.foxsports.com/nhl/story/9633560/Pens'-Malkin-won't-be-suspended-for-fight

If I'm Detroit, I send a one of my enforcerers out at the end of this game to do the exact same thing that Malkin did, and then dare Colin Campbell to suspend him..

I love hockey, but this is absolute bullcrap.. Admit it Colin, you are still covering for the horrible mess that Bettman got hockey into, and you realize that without Malkin this series would be over in 4.. At least now you can prolong it an extra game for the TV revenues...

You and Bettman are both jokes...

Merry Christmas Tango

“Look back 32, Pens aren't the only ones that have benefited from the inconsistencies of the NHL bigwigs. Take it for what it's worth when it's good or bad from your team. There are good calls and bad calls and always will be. Just like I think we should have had a penalty shot when Zetterberg was all over the puck in the crease. There's a rule about that and no call.

A team is not in trouble if and until they lose at home.

GO PENS!!!

“Zebras hate penguins.”

“Tango... there is a difference between a blown call and a decision arbitrarily left up to Colin Campbell...

There is no debate.. Malkin instigated a fight in the waning moments of a game... He should have been suspended.. End of argument..

Blown calls are one thing.. Decisions made to make a series better are another story..

Don't get me wrong, I want this to go 7, it will allow me to watch a few extra games... But Campbell's decision was garbage with a capital SH..

“Come on did you watch the Pens Canes series. Same thing with Bayda.

snip

"Bayda exchanged high-sticks with Kris Letang during a scrum with 1:19 to play, sparking a pair of fights — one between Tim Gleason and Letang, the other between Patrick Eaves and Miroslav Satan.

Letang was assessed a game misconduct and Bayda a match penalty, which denotes an attempt to injure and carries with it an automatic review suspension pending a review by the league office. Bayda was unavailable for comment after the game."

snip

No suspension either. Soooo??? Very similar diff team with the big wigs doing whatever they do in their plush offices.”

“NOt even close....

hmmm Letang.. Malkin.....

Sorry......

However, I do loke when you get fiesty...

“Dear Colin Campbell,

The check is in the mail. Thank you for your efforts. You have done more to keep us in this series then we have. We couldn't have won this game without you.

Sincerely,

Evgeni Malkin

“WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“I wasn't talking about Letang! Bayda should've been suspended. But the bigwigs made a decision and he played (to make a better series)”

“WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! PENS TIED THE SERIES UP TONIGHT WITH A 4-2 WIN OVER THE wings.”

“Go Pens! fun game to watch, for sure.”
