Penguins vs Stars

Hey Wringer - are you here at the game?

Oh never mind.  I don’t know why I thought a Bruins fan would be at a Pittsburgh game.

GREAT game though!  Thanks to penalties there was a three on four battle and Pittsburgh got a short handed goal. It pained me but I can’t deny that’s good hockey.  We came from behind and tied it up by end of regulation and the Stars eventually won in a shootout.

The stands were packed with Pittsburgh fans.  I had no idea that many Penguin fans lived in Dalllas!

I work with a guy from Pittsburgh who was there, but yeah the pens have tons of fans. Residuals from Lemieux and Jagr days.  I know that's why I still watch them.

Since the Superbowl, the Flyers are 6-0-2! Boo ya baby!

Bs are still hot too. ;D

Enjoying the olympic hockey too...the women are kicking ass and the men are holding their own.

I'll be at tomorrows game.  My best friend from back home is coming to Dallas for two days before we head out to Colorado to go skiing for a week.  figured a Hockey game would be a good start :)

Gonna be a tough game tonight against Tampa Bay.  I’m in section 112.  Wave if you see me!   ;D

Man what a heartbreaker.  Overtime loss 5-4.

Flyers had their first loss as well in a month. :-\

Florida was not kind to our Flyers, Jimmy.  Ugh.

We had another overtime loss last night - to Ottowa.  How you going to win in the playoffs if you can't even beat the teams your supposed to win against?

Dammit Flyers. You suck.

I think since it turned March, they haven't won a game.

Dammit.

Wringer- your probably here too.  I’m at the Stars vs Bruins game tonight.  And I’m already drinking after our six game losing streak.  My only hope is that you guys are resting players since you clinched the playoffs this week!

Well, that sucked.

yea...i was there...i kinda liked the outcome but I still feel for ya.  After the first goal the stars had no step, the PPs were weak at best.  the only spark they showed was on the shorty, which was a great goal.

Hoping the Flyers keep their 3 wins going tomorrow agains the Penguins.

**** YOU PENGUINS, YOU ****ING *****!!!

 ;D :D

Yeah we didn’t look good and we’re terrible on PP.  Better than last year but not there yet.  Killing us that Bishop is out.  Lehtinon just isn’t the guy.

Stars vs Flyers tomorrow night!

Dare I say I hope your Stars continue their slide against Philly? 😉

Game on. Go Stars!  :D

I have spent almost the entire 2nd and 3rd period trying to find a way to just share a picture on here.  I’m so pissed off because you just can’t upload a pic to a site anymore and share the url.  If anyone knows how it’s still possible please let me know.

Damn you Stars!!!!

****

Good luck to your guys, Jeff.😎

Thanks Jimmy.  I don’t think we hurt your chances any to make the playoffs.   ;)

Overtime wins are always so nerve racking!

Well a point is a point, I guess. But the Flyers got Columbus and Florida coming up, and they are streaking hot right now! I'd really rather see the team not be a wild card, but I'm not sure it's going to happen.

Flyers play the Bruins tonight.

Ouch Jimmy - that's gonna be tough. 

Wringer - you think your guys are gonna spoil Jimmy's night?   ;D

Bs didnt play last night...we are up against the red hot Lightning tonight and the panthers Sat and then the Flyers early Sunday

I love the run up to the playoffs

I also was apparently very wrong about the remaining schedule for the Flyers.   ???

Yes I would say your team is sitting pretty.   ;D

4-2 win over the lighting put the Pats Bruins in 1st place with Pasta' recording a Gordie Howe Hat trick.

i know i've said it before but i LOVE hockey.

GAME ON

Definitely a GREAT year to be a Bruins fan!

I've always liked the Bruins, just because they are Original 6. And they're keeping old man Chara around still!

good comeback for the Bs yesterday, just not enough to take the Flyers in OT.  Good Game though and i will certainly take the point.

Hot Cha that was needed though!

Sorry to hear the Stars are mathamatically eliminated from the playoff.

Yeah dangit!  But we did it to ourselves with all those losses in a row.  It's Hitch's first year back as head coach so I'm willing to give him some time.  I will say they were vastly improved from last year.  The fact that we were even thinking we'd make the playoffs is a lot of progress!

That's too bad Jeff. They had a decent record with a good amount of points scored.

Damn Flyers couldn't clinch a playoff spot with a win tonight! Flyers, you suck!

(just my Philly showing)

a few losses down the stretch dropped the B's to 2nd and have to face the 3rd place Maple Leafs in round 1.

i do not understand how playoff matches line up...i always though it was like football...top team plays last, 2nd plays 7th, etc.  guess not in the NHL

I thought the same thing, Wringer.  I went ahead and looked it up and found this.  Now it makes sense.

"16 teams will qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The format is a set bracket that is largely division-based with wild cards. The top three teams in each division will make up the first 12 teams in the playoffs. The remaining four spots will be filled by the next two highest-placed finishers in each conference, based on regular-season record and regardless of division. It is possible for one division in each conference to send five teams to the postseason while the other sends just three. In the First Round, the division winner with the best record in each conference will be matched against the wild-card team with the lesser record; the wild card team with the better record will play the other division winner. The teams finishing second and third in each division will meet in the First Round within the bracket headed by their respective division winners. First-round winners within each bracket play one another in the Second Round to determine the four participants in the Conference Finals. Home-ice advantage through the first two rounds goes to the team that placed higher in the regular-season standings. In the Conference Finals and Stanley Cup Final, home-ice advantage goes to the team that had the better regular-season record -- regardless of the teams' final standing in their respective divisions"

Flyers only lost by a touchdown. :'(

Suck that Penguins! **** YOU, CROSBY YOU ****ING  **** !!!! BWA HA HA

Like, I know the Flyers are going to be bounced from the playoffs. But man, could you at least try? Like, you lose 3-1 or 4-2, okay that's an effort. 7-0 and 5-1? C'mon that's terrible play.

OUCH!  That is not good!

Sorry Wringer 'bout them Bruins!

I think I've always pulled for the Predators before; maybe they are my team?

Then again, man, the Caps finally made the Finals past the Penguins!

Then again, I do like the story of Vegas.

All in all...great hockey!!

Stanley Cup Game 5

Will the Capitals Win it all tonight?  I hope not.  I’m pulling for Vegas.  They won me over.  Plus they have the most ridiculous pre-game in NHL history.  It’s so Vegas.  All it’s missing are the strippers.

 :D

I love the Vegas pregame. However I'm rooting for the Capitals. Ovechkin is just my kind of hockey player.

You should be happy this morning then!  😝

I kid.  All I really wanted was a good series and we got that.  Congrats to the Capitals on their first ever Stanley Cup.

not the outcome i would have preferred but it was some top notch hockey

Well deserved win the the Caps

I thought the same thing. And also how the Flyers are not a team that could compete against either of those two in the finals. My Philly team is so far away from being any form of playoff competitive.

my Bruins fake it well but not enough for either of those
