Yeah, Gonchar didn't even get fined.

Nynja you seemed to really get into writing that... you write erotic literature about Sidney Crosby in your free time? Its ok, a lot of girls and gay guys do...

Nice win again for the Hawks today, and now we come to the game of the week tomorrow...Hawks vs Detroit. Gonna be a tougher game than the last two since the Wings have some of their injured players back that weren't there last time. Still hoping for a win but the Hawks better show up to play and not overlook the importance of this game.

[Ishido]

Wings fucking jobbed today, 2nd Dallas goal should have been goalie interference, and about 4 uncalled high-sticks, a few of them blatant. And to top it off, a SO goal that was ruled by the refs to be a no goal, reviewed in Toronto and ruled a goal without any conclusive camera angles.

Big game tonight for Vancouver. We get Pavol Demitra back in a game against the champs. Looking forward to it, hopefully Luongo plays better than he has of late.

[Sepukku]

I hate Vancouver-Pittsburgh games. I love Vancouver but they're never been good to me. Last year Luongo got hurt in Pittsburgh and I missed Crosby's first game in Vancouver when they had the shootout.

Hoping tonights will be amazing though. Pens are 3-1-0 on their West Coast road trip so far, but our 3rd string goalie is playing tonight (Brent Johnson and Marc Andre Fleury both hurt).

3 game winless streak for the canucks, what better way to break it then against the 3rd string goalie. Fuck Matt Cooke btw.

[Sepukku]

DID YOU SEE THAT PLAY MALKIN MADE?! I mean, the actual goal itself was laughable, but the backcheck, steal, deke, and give and go that led to it was pretty fucking sick.

[Thoronas]

Dammit i'm missing the game

will be watching 2nd period onwards

[Izzy]

Nothing like having the best (arguably) goalie in the league suck fucking ass during a shootout.

[Thoronas]

HOoooooooooooly shit!!!

[Sepukku]

Thank god they pulled John Curry... I thought they were gonna leave him in to keep our 4th string one-day-amateur-tryout goalie on the bench. He was going down the Stephen Valliquette road REALLY FAST.

Dude's not even getting payed. I feel bad for him

[Sepukku]

Super classy move by the Vancouver media members to name him the #3 star of the game - he didn't even know why he was being asked to go back out on the ice and had to quickly grab someone else's blocker/glove (which he had on opposite hands) and went out and acknowledged the crowd which seemed to be cheering pretty loud for him. Also... his jersey # is usually 70 but the Pens couldn't get a #70 Pens Jersey into Vancouver in time due to them being typed up in Customs. Also, he was using Fleury's leg pads during the game for the same reason.

Good game.

[Ivaden]

The moral of last night's story is: goalies with rhyming names are never good. Ever.

On a more serious note, I've always thought Curry was pretty decent, I don't know what the fuck happened last night. Crazy bounces a few times just absolutely deflated him, and our defense was not helping one bit. I do hope Shero keeps an eye on Pechurskiy (actual spelling of his name btw), but we have 5 goalies within our club right now so I dunno. Pretty sure Curry is a free agent after next season, Johnson is a free agent after this season. So who knows.

[Ishido]

My god Pierre McGuire is fucking annoying and dumb to boot.

For the American fans, that missed out report by Don Maclean and Colin Campbell during intermission about the Auger/Burrows incident.

No class Maclean, focusing on Burrows rather then the ref issue.

[Ishido]

What a joke of an interview.

Glad he mentioned the Dallas SO goal, since I found out the linesman was the one who ruled in a goal, not the ref who was sitting about 3 feet away from the line. There is so much shit the refs can do in the league, seemingly without any accountability.

[Sepukku]

One of the worst interviews ever on Colin Campbell's part and one of the worst pieces of journalism I've ever seen on Don's behalf.
