    Kunitz isn't really a role player though and the argument can be made that neither is Dupuis. Both have scored 20 goals or more the last two season. I look at it this way. Do you keep the first line together thereby forcing a player onto the second into a position he has never played. Also putting them on the backhand side, eliminating the ability to easily take passes and hit one timers.

    Or do you drop the guy from the first line that has filled in extremely well in the past on the second and move second liner up to the first and put him in his natural position. It's pretty simple as far as I'm concerned. But Bylsma is determined not to do that. Keeping the first line intact while damaging the second line is just asinine. But again, Bylsma thinks that the talent level is enough to overcome little things like positions.

    Ugh. This is what Toronto lived through most of the season. Carlyle forced Phaneuf on the left side (because he has a left shot) but he has always played the right side. Then forced terrible right shots to play with him because that's all they have. I never understand fucking with your star players because you want them to play your way, at the detriment of the team.

    I would just like to add that despite the extensive discussion of why the Penguins are not playing up to their potential, I don't mean to take anything away from Boston. The Bruins have far exceeded my expectations in this series and they look like an incredible team. Even if the Penguins were in top mode, the Bruins would have definitely won Game 2, and very possibly this game as well (considering they were much closer to their best last night). I think the Penguins probably could have won Game 1 if they didn't play like such shit.

    Boychuk made multiple unbelievable diving saves; Bergeron and Krejci are just "fuck you" puck slingers in beautiful fashion; Chara is scarin' people; and Rask is putting up a .982 percentage more than worthy of the regular season thread title honors. Just ridiculously good hockey, as much as I hate them.

    I'm a Winnipeg boy, that's who I am. Every tattoo on my body proves who I am.

    Dedicated to Blue. This your theme?

    Winnipeg music should only be associated with The Guess Who, Comeback Kid, and to a lesser extent: Propagandhi (Portage La Prairie, closeenough.jpg)

    I honestly don't listen to those genres. I'm a classical, symphony and metal for me.

    That just made my ears and eyes bleed.

    Buffalo wouldn't trade Hodgson for Malkin. Hodgson is the future of our team, Malkin is a rental.

    That being said, I'd trade off a fuckload of 1st rounders for him.

    What's all this "fire Bylsma" talk? I thought after 24/7 we were all in agreement that he was the greatest coach in the history of sports!

    Campbell's fibula was broken on that play. He continued to skate for nearly a minute with a broken leg.

    Call me a nerd, but I think the FF Victory Theme would be amazing for a goal song.
    Preferably this version:

    I would like it more, if they played it each time Marchand gets stamped into the boards
