Great win by LA.
I sure hope Philly meets them in the finals...
The Rangers and Devils aren't nearly as much fun to watch.
 
I knew I should have taken the Kings, they were my dark horse pick back in October to win the Cup.:monkey1

The Devils deserve this. They are embarrassing the Flyers and beating them at their own game. My hats off to them. Unless the Flyers pull their heads out of their ***** they are done.
 
I liked how Giroux was crying to the ref and when the ref wouldn't listen to him, he elbowed Zubrus in the head and he didn't even have the puck. Talk about cheap.

You want to see cheap consult the Pens and your avatar. Thanks.
 
Devils last 3 games have impressed the hell out of me.

I've felt Philly has had a better team on paper, but execution wise the Devils are playing at a level I have never seen them hit with this style of hockey.

Also, if you think Devils hockey is still boring, you aren't watching the same games as most people. Their style this season has been completely different from years past. They're certainly no Philly/Pittsburgh with their tempo, but they have more offensive flash than other teams left in the playoffs (Caps, Rangers, Phoenix, Nashville, to name a few).

I'm just trying to make a point about how the Pens get so much hate but there are plenty of other players in the league who act the same way. It's kinda funny that way. Why doesn't everybody call Giroux a baby now?? I mean he was crying to the ref when the puck was still in play and everything. Quit crying and play the game, right??? Isn't that what Flyer's fans always say???

Your team was notorious for being cheap in the past. You even said times have changed, but when someone brings up a player being cheap, you don't acknowledge it. Even if it's fact! Instead, of accepting your player's fault, you attack the Pens and their history. Like they had anything to do with his judgement call, or lack there of one. Even if there were similar acts as of last round. You want us to get over that Broad Street Bully label and/or past? Then get over the past of last round. This is now, and what Claude Giroux did is clearly unacceptable. Just accept it for what it is. Rather than playing a blind eye to it. Pointing the finger else where and being ignorant won't change what it is. Giroux is a douche bag for what he did, because it is a douche move. If Sidney Crosby did it, you would see me acknowledging it, because, I don't know... I KNOW it's because I did last round. So in return, I expect the same sort of respect and acknowledgment.

Cheers.

Who thought at this point into the playoffs, that teams like your New Jerseys, Los Angeles', and your Phoenix's would be where they are?

Certainly not I, and this is clearly why I made the comment earlier before we played this game. You can't dictate one's knowledge or IQ of the game based on playoff success, because it's such a crapshoot. None of the so-called experts predicted these outcomes. And some of them are justified in their "expert" status/label. Case in point, Bob McKenzie. His opinion is more trusted in the hockey community as analysts are concerned, than anyone in the game. He did not predict this.

And there is nothing wrong with that! It makes things interesting when the near impossible becomes possible, and all odds, and simulated or calculated outcomes don't pan out.

I will address this. :lecture

Giroux's hit was nonesense and completely out of character for him. He let his emotions get the best of him. Suspend him for a game and he will think twice about doing it again. I'm fine with that and you won't hear me crying about it.

Now here is the difference.

Crosby does this type of ____ almost every game. The NHL practically sucks his little wee wee and rolls out the red carpet for him. IE blind eye every time. And the Pens fans? They are the worst. They are so blind to it because they are so busy nut sucking that they refuse to see his filthy ways.

That is the difference. :lecture
