Sounds like the NHL and NHLPA finally agreed on a deal.

Now who's ready for some hockey??

Quote from Landers :
Yeah, every season is a completely new draft. You sign up for the league/level you want to play in, then it goes through a full draft just as though it was a real draft for the pros. Pretty cool. Most teams stay pretty similar, but sometimes things get mixed up. It's fun playing with new people.

PPG is pretty good. I'm a defensive center, but tend to manage about .80ppg overall. Some seasons I manage to find the back of the net a lot more. This past season I only had 2 goals and 9 or 10 assists. Much more of a set up guy.
Last season I was a setup guy. This summer season I've been taking punishment right in front of the net, but also have put in several rebounds or loose pucks. I'm not afraid to mix it up in the crease if necessary!

Now, if the B's will just knock out Pittsburgh...

The most frustrating part about this loss, is that the blackhawks didn't beat us. We beat ourselves. Almost all of the Blackhawks goals in the last 3 games came either on the Power play, or because of bad turnovers. There's no reason we couldn't have beat them. Injuries, man. Injuries. If we'd have had Dekeyser instead of Smith... I dunno. Excited for next year though, now that all these rookies got so much experience.

Doh that's what i get for trying to watch 2 games at once (nhl + nba) while viggling and responding to email laugh out loud

i went back to check the box score and realized vokoun got the start and had already been pulled by time i tuned in for the long haul (late in the first). i guess it didn't really matter much today given the way the team played as a whole...

Two games does not a series make, but the Pens have looked pathetic in this series. Boston is going to be rocking the next two games.

The Boston/Pittsburgh series is hilarious. Of course I want the Kings to win the Cup again, but I basically have that "anybody but Pittsburgh" mentality. Game 2 was just beautiful, I could almost shed a tear.

Now the Kings... they're having some issues. I don't think the injuries are helping. Richards isn't supposed to play and I didn't hear about Muzzin. Hopefully they will continue their dominance at home, but games 1 and 2 were rough. Chicago has just been too fast for the team and our defense was terrible on Sunday (poor Quick). I also think the Blackhawks aren't as beaten up as the Kings. We faced the Blues and Sharks. They got the Wild and Wings. No comparison. I feel like a lot is going against the Kings at the moment, but ultimately it's up to them to get it together and find something that works. Where's Kopitar? Where's Brown (other than hits)? Wtf is Doughty doing half (or all) the time?

I dunno. I'm nervous for tonight's game. I think they can win tonight, but at the same time I almost wouldn't be surprised to see the series end on Thursday. The scheduling sucks though. 3 playoff games in 4 days? Rough.

oh i agree 100% that it's far from a done deal, but i must say it is nice to be up 2-0 (convincingly) with the next 2 at home.

Good win for the Kings last night. I made it through the 2nd period.

oh man that had to have been demoralizing to lose like that after the fight the pens put up tonight. they were visibly much more aggressive and were able to control the puck for long stretches of time. this easily could have gone the other way. hopefully the bruins can close it out on friday Cool

Can't blame the goaltending. The Pens offense seems to have forgotten how to score.

But as I told a friend of mine yesterday, it's not over until a team loses 4 games in a round. Something tells me that the fat lady is warming up in Pittsburgh though.

I'm very excited for this series to end with Krejci having more goals in the series than the entire Penguins team combined. I'm found great joy in listening to the sadness deepen in Doc Emerick's voice as he realized Pittsburgh was going to be swept and there's nothing that Crysby or Bettman could do about it.
Even the postgame is fellatiatingly unlistenable:
"sadly, Pittsburgh didn't figure out how to play the Bruins until game 3." (really? because they still lost.)
"This isn't supposed to happen to the Penguins." (boohoo)


I hate them all.

Wow. You couldn't have written a more embarrassing end of the season for the Penguins. Not only did they get swept, but they only scored 2 goals the ENTIRE SERIES.
