He literally looks like he's crying.

someone needs to tell Crosby a fight isn't a cat-fight and clawing isn't allowed

You do realize Crosby is the only one in either of those pictures with a closed fist? Both pictures, both of Niskanens hands on Crosby's jersey. Also, the snapping them thing he does when he fights is smart, its actually really hard to do anything about that, or do anything during that, ever watch collegiate wrestling? Thats what theyre doing half the matches.

[Palin]

We all know Nisky is a pansy. He's undoubtedly the softest guy on the Stars roster. No sense even going down that road no one's going to argue lol.

Oxy see my sig!

[Selamis]

Holy shit that's the best sig quote ever.

[Callisto]

Boogard just mauled Shelley lol

[Penthesilea]

Shelley has never won a fight against Boogard.

Again Giroux showing some sick moves. spin pass to richards top shelf

[Anton]

Wow 6 games and next to nothing tonight. No one's team playing?

Edit: Saw this on facebook



WHY ARE THERE HATS ON THE ICE?

[Palin]

Stinker by the Rangers, goony game by Flyers. I'm not one to usually call reffing but it really was bullshit tonight. It wouldn't have made a dif with the way the special teams battle was going, so I'm not saying the referring cost the Rangers the game. But it was bullshit seeing Carcillo headshot Fedetenko and Timonen THROW CALLAHAN HEADFIRST INTO THE BOARDS with no calls. Hope I never hear Flyer fans complaining about reputation calls the rest of the year, because they fucking deserve it.

[Penthesilea]

Fedotenko fell down/ducked into it. Carcillo was looking body and the guy bailed last second. And sucks but Kimmo was totally legit and I laughed as it happened cause he looked a fool

[Anton]

WOW just saw the Carcillo hit. I thought the Brown game misconduct hit was less ridiculous than that. No penalty... that's... uh... wow

Edit: After Slo-Mo review (god bless the DVR), he stops looking for the puck and sees Carcillo. At that moment his head starts coming up, Fedetenko starts dropping his knee and getting lower. I can see both sides of the argument, Carcillo though might have been called for Charging (his legs leave the ground as they make the hit/meet the stick. Hard to tell really which comes first)

[Palin]

Halak has been amazing. Kinda wish I took the risk on him in some of my Fantasy Leagues.

It's been nice adding the Blues to my game-watching, San Jose and Niemi have not really delivered

[Sepukku]

And to throw into the penalty inconsistency issue - Mattias Ohlund somehow got 5 minute boarding major but both ESPN/Yahoo have yet to report a Game Misconduct in conjunction with it?

Also Joe Thornton tossed for 5+2+10 for illegal hit from behind / elbowing David Perron? IDK yet to see the hit.

WHY ARE THERE HATS ON THE ICE?

Thats ok, I believe Crosby also had a hat trick that game. AO had 3, Crosby had 3, someone else scored for the Capitals for a 4-3 win. I was at the outdoor jumbo screen for that game. More importantly however, I'm pretty sure Crosby had the last laugh a week later

They look freaking good. Halak was such a good pickup.

Poor Islanders, lost 6 in a row and 17 GA in the past 3 games. They have Philly next and then a 3 game Western road trip. Talk about tough.

[Flarega]

This Kings-Lightning game is really good.

[Callisto]

Not surprised, they started way stronger than I expected when you stop and look at all the guys they have injured on top of them being a salary-floor team to begin with, and noone even knowing whether or not DiPietro was even still any good with him being injured for 3 straight years. I definitely figured they'd have the roughest start of the season, though NJ went ahead and shot that theory to hell.

[Callisto]

fffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuu I'm stuck going to a shitty wedding for people I've never even met on Saturday and there's Hawks/Thrashawks with an undercard of Halak vs. Thomas, FML...

[Penthesilea]

Oh yeah Sean Avery was called a jabroni today during the broadcast. Loved it

Steve Downie with his third Misconduct of the year. The guy is gonna win me the PIM category all on his own in my league. Plus, he gets to play on a line with St. Louis and Stamkos. So delicious~
