Datsyuk monsters at 2:45ish!

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Unreal. Getting that pass waaaaay behind him, thru the legs, and then the shot. Wow.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

No kidding!! Stole one in Boston today!!

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

No tot talk take anything from Howard..


but

Rask :hn

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Adam, over the past 18 months or so, I get the feeling you don't like Rask? Give it to me straight!;)

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Datsyuk is a sik m***********. Looks like the Wings may give them a good series.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

:emo2004

I don't believe I ever said... oh wait, yes I believe I might have mentioned my disdain for him once, maybe twice.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Hoping so...with Detroit moving on lol!!

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

When I see you, if your winnings taste like ass, I have NO idea why. :sh

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Guess that means I will have to re-gift them then just to be safe.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

I have a couple people in mind, we'll talk! :r

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

I missed the game..was sitting freezing my a$$ off at the Sox game, that was another cluster.:rolleyes:

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

I was the only person at the bar in Boston losing it as Datsyuk pulled that stick move/goal.

$5000 ? This is his second time doing it this season. Bush league

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Definitely a cheap shot...Lucic really is not a dirty player, just not the brightest bulb on the tree.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Holy chit Seabrook just destroyed Backes....:jd

Thoughts on him getting 5:00....?

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Deserved, IMO. Primary point of contact was the head. I think he'll get suspended too.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Yep, seeing a few more times, I think Seabrook will be sitting out game 3. Needed to be about a foot lower.....

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

I am hoping it's just 1 game for Seabrook, but he has history. :hn

Hawks blow a 3-2 lead in the last 2 minutes second time in a row. They are really in a pickle with a 2-0 deficit and Seabrook likely out. Can they win 4 of 5? Sure, they came back from 3-1 last year Vs. Detroit. Will they? I hold out hope.

Time for Pens-BJ.....Let's Go Columbus!

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

With you on that!

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Last four minutes of the Pens/BJ first OT period, Pens looked like they were auditioning for the Rio Olympics... Flopping all over the ice! :r

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Congrats to the Blue Jackets fans on their first Stanley Cup playoff win! Jack Johnson was awesome tonight!

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Avs look good!

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

WOW JR, " I'm going to go on record, right now, this kid is more dominate right now at 18 years old than Sydney Crosby was at 18".

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

7 points in his first 2 playoff games, as a rookie, maybe JR is on to something...:tu

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

JR is a blowhard, but McKinnon is definitely a special talent. That line with him, Landeskoog and Stasny was amazing tonight.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Huge win for the Flyers today! Was able to see the last half of the game after brunch with my family,

Seabrook gets three games.

Seems about right. Thought he may only get two, but two or three seemed to be the consensus. Down two games and now down their second best defenseman, the Hawks really need to show their resiliency...

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Holy **** at Brendan Smith wanting to go with Chara after the whistle ... and Big Zee is laughing his ass off as he gives him a face wash ... you can see Zee saying "really .... really??? " LOL

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

At the end, started telling Smith "Drop 'um, drop 'um". Smith was wise to keep his gloves on, not sure he had the reach to lock up...:r

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

well you could see on the fash washes (several of them) that Zee wasn't even stretching his arm out all the way and Smith still wasn't close enough to touch him :r :r

on a serious note every time freaking rask touches the puck behind the net they have trouble moving it out .. oh and that was a ****ing dive by alfredsson

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

not to mention his skates left the ice...it was completely predatory, intended, and douche. he should get the rest of the series.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

I disagree on Seabrook being a douche, look at 9 years of play and tell me he is a "predatory" player. There are 100 guys in the league more "predatory" than Seabrook (including Mr. David Backes)

He had one skate on the ice when the hit was initiated, only leaving it after the hit was made. I do agree he deserves a suspension as the head was clearly the point of contact, though I was hoping 1 or at most 2 with Seabrook's complete lack of disciplinary history in a 9 year career. My opinion, worth all 2 cents.

Like E.J. said, Hawks are in serious trouble, down 2-0 and with Sheldon Brookbank in the line-up, a 7th D-Man replacing a 1-2. I'll keep the faith like I did against the Wings last year, but they are really going to need there star forwards to step up.....5 of the 6 goals they have scored have been from D-Men, including 2 from Seabrook.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

oh and p.s. God...please tell the Lightning to stop being ****ing useless. Amen.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

They did get screwed by that "no goal" call. But yes, they need to get their crap together.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Damn Sharks are putting the boots to the kings tonight after going down by 2 goals they have scored 7 unanswered goals. What I really like is Quick is getting exposed for constantly coming out to far. Loved seeing Doughty truck Quick because he was so damn far out. Then watching the kings go after shepard who did nothing wrong. Game 3 will be very interesting.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Sharks beat the Kings physically and mentally, and then stole their girlfriends.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

There were a few bad calls in that game, that was bad but there were a couple huge penalties by the Habs that just weren't called, part of me is glad I thought it was only the Bs that got ****ed by the Refs playing the frogs, seems their fairy godmothers look out for them against many teams.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

I do not think he is a Douche but that was a douchey hit...and he did leave the ice as he was hiting himmaybe not "before" but defuinately assisted in driving through the point of impact. in this case Backes' head. penalty and suspension I feel fit. and it is doen. I just wish that they could get on board and call this and suspend for it in a fair and consistant manner. Again, I do not see him as a predator but that was a predatory hit as the Hawks were looking to hit Backes any chance they could...because of his history.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Seabrook hit was a nice freakin hit. Pick your head up Backes.

Thought it was unfair for Detroit that the refs interfered between Chara and Smith.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Tony, I can come a lot closer to agreeing with you now. I still don't think Seebs initiated the hit with intent to get the head, but who knows? Hope to see Backes back in there, I don't want to hear any excuses if the Hawks can come back in this series.

Marc...it certainly wasn't unfair for Smith! :lr :bx

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

They could have used Chara off the ice. You know why they fight.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Oh please marc that was nothing at all, the refs didn't "come between them" Chara laughed till he got a cramp and Smith left a few seconds after pissing himself. I find your comment predatory and douchey at best. :D

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Chara (as Jack Palance) to Smith: "I crap bigger than you". ;)

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

I don't know if any team anywhere gets more leeway from the refs at home than Montreal.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

I heard it was Duncan Keith who had a case of diarrhea of the mouth with a classless taunt. Article/Video Link

Blackhawks aren't acting like champions in this series, IMHO.

1. Quenneville grabbing his crotch
2. Seabrook hit
3. Keith's taunt (if it was in fact Keith...but whoever it was, it was classless)

Starting to lose a little respect for them...The one "heat of the moment" thing I give the guy a pass on is the Seabrook hit. While warranting a suspension, not necessarily an intent to injure. The other two...well, douchebag moves, IMHO.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Listen to what Brendan Morrow (of the Blues) said. Worse things are said than that after every other shift in every NHL game. Fans and media just aren't privvy to it. I have vidoetape of things 100 times worse being said. Reaves, a whining clown who has little business in the NHL, should thicken up his skin if he is going to go around running people and shooting off his mouth every shift. It's the NHL, Boys, not table tennis. Reaves has seaid worse, and so has almost every player on the Blues, Blackhawks and Flyers. I have some great footage of Hartnell and Simmons shooting off their mouths, wish I could post VHS here.

Sorry for the rant, Joel, but Reaves is quite the pu$$y for such a "tough guy", and I really think people are clueless as to what goes on on the ice in an NHL game.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

This. I've been a volunteer off-ice official in the CHL and SPHL, working mostly in the penalty box. These guys can get nasty with each other.

Here's a taste of what gets said on the ice (NSFW, language):
http://youtu.be/1MNA0_n32Hc

Edit: oh, and that clip is relatively tame compared to a lot of stuff that goes on.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

And parents thought Junior As were bad

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

Avs survive the 1st... Varly was awesome. Expected the Wild to come out hard and nasty, they did just that.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 

I don't disagree that things are said, often worse than this...but (you knew that was coming ;)) the guy obviously had a severe head injury. He couldn't even stand up. I have no problem with verbally berating a guy, give 'em an absolute verbal beat down! But the guy was injured, obviously injured, and that IMHO is time to show some class. If he thought he was faking it or embellishing the severity of it, fine... I'm okay with that. But it sure didn't seem that was the case, again, IMO.

For me, it's about the situation. If you don't agree, http://www.sportspickle.com/wp-conte...eJ-150x150.jpg :r :r
I have absolutely no problem with what was said in that video, from an on the ice standpoint (don't think they should be walking around Boston talking like that ;)). Obviously he embellished an injury and the Bruins were letting him know they thought it was bush league (in so many words). They should and did rip him a new one!
