You guys gonna go out on your own ice for a third year in a row?

[Bregor]

We'll see brah. But I ain't scurred.

[Sepukku]

I don't speak stupidassmotherfucker. You're going to have to use real words. I'm not from the e-hood.

[Ishido]

Aaand the Wings shit the bed in the 3rd to make a winnable game almost unwinnable (and lose lol).

Stuart injured during the game, no news yet on if it is long term or not.

[Sepukku]

Flames got a point too, and with their tiebreaker edge, Detroit now falls to 9th.

In Montreal, Andrei Markov called out Carey Price and has suggested he "go home" if hes not ready to play hard.

[Brill Weave]

It's not the first time a Habs player has called out Carey Price. I can understand wanting to treat the guy with kid gloves because of how old he is. But come on. Markov has been playing for a long time. I tend to believe what he's saying. Look at how we treated Fleury when he arrived here. We tossed his french canadian ass into the fire. Price is going to end up being another Ray Emery with a nonexistent glove hand.

And wtf is up with Detroit? All kidding aside. Last year these guy's were in the finals. They still have the talent and personnel to be a great team. It's almost like we're watching the wheels on the bus fall off as the bus careens towards a school van filled with down syndrome kittens. It's not going to end well.

[Ratatapa]

I've always been a Pro price, but now i'm starting to get annoyed, also i'm tired of all the Halak vs Price lol, can't walk cross a street without hearing that

[Abraxas]

thats what you get for living in Montreal lol.

but hey, at least you dont live in pittsburgh

[Ratatapa]

yeah better hearing halak vs price then living near seppuku any day

[Brill Weave]

But you forget, you would also be living near me!

[Ratatapa]

less problems

Living in Pittsburgh is one of the greatest pleasures one can experience in life. You get not one, not two, but THREE rivers, two championship caliber teams, a green-tech city that has hosted the G20 recently, has deep, rich roots, is full of intelligent youth who are the future of the city and the nation, is devoid of evangelical riff-raffs, is happily liberal and has two universities that are on the forefront of technology, education, and research.

Philadelphia gets a high crime rate, a cracked ass bell, a bunch of hoodlums, and a shitty hockey team that has 4-5 homosexuals on it, at LEAST.

two caliber teams? are you talking about the steelers who didn't even make it in the playoffs, because big ben fucked it up?

or your talking about a junior team that surely no one else then pittsburgh people knows?

[Dolmen]

Pittsburgh (and Pennsylvania in general) have an awful taxing system. =/

It's not a bad city, just a different kind of city.

[Sepukku]

Dickdontwork says what? Its not Ben's fault the defense gave up like 4-5 GW FGs during the final 2 minutes of the 4th/OT and Jeff Reed missed 2 potentially GW FGs during the same time periods. Oh, and that offensive line. What the fuck is that. SEAWEED LAYING ON THE FIELD would've protected Ben better. Seriously, if you're going to blame any one, Ben is the last person to blame. He was actually the Steelers first 4,000 yard passer in franchise history this season.

[Ratatapa]

Sure make someone play 15 year in 1 team, if he doesn't break records there's a problem

[Sepukku]

Not a franchise career total, I'm talking about season total, so its not a case of he played there a long time so of course he had enough time to compile a grand total of stats to surpass the others. And even then, hes only played here, what, 5 years? Hes only like 26. I don't know why I'm even talking about this with you, you're a fucking Canadian, you suck on the teet of America's amazing nipples, you know nothing about football. The only useful knowledge you possess is strategies for shoveling one's driveway and sidewalk.

[Bregor]

Can we not go down the "other sports in your city" road again? I sure as hell don't want anyone pulling a Redskins or Wizards card, and didn't Sep already say he doesn't give two shits about the Steelers or Pirates? Aside from their color scheme of course.

Re: Carey Price, I think it's unfair to keep calling him out. A 2.73/.910 isn't bad, and the guys in front of him aren't exactly lighting it up offensively. They've also given up the second-most shots on goal against. I understand trying to motivate your team, four teams in the East have 55 points, and four more have 54, but it's almost like the Habs are already making Price the scapegoat if they miss the playoffs.

[Sepukku]

Pre-emptive excuse. I like it. If the Pens miss the playoffs its cause of Chris Borque. And I do care about the Steelers, but no where near the amount I care about the Pens and nowhere near as little as I care about the Pirates.

If you had to rank my care, Pens would be 10 to the 10th power, Steelers would be a 5, and the Pirates would be 1 to the negative 50th power.

[Bregor]

Pre-emptive excuse. I like it.

I just don't want anyone mentioning Gilbert "Fun 'n' Gun" Arenas" like I care at all, just because I live in DC. My parents are Redskins fans and I want them to do well, but I love college football way more than the NFL. Also Dan Snyder is one of the biggest dicks in sports.

PS. Chris Bourque has 29 points in 20 games in Hershey, I'd really like to see him up with the big club permanently but I also can't think of any forward whose place I'd like him to take. Probably just gonna be one of those in-between guys forever.
