2009-2010 NHL Playoffs

[Drummond]

Why are you nervous? You'll win. Home ice means more ownage of the face-off circle.

Predictions for tomorrow:

Pens 4-1 (Pens will score first, Habs tie it up, but Pens to run away with it)
Sharks 3-2

Of course I'm hoping both these predictions are way off.

Sid has to explode in this one. Been getting a fair bit of negative media attention recently, there's only one way he responds to that sort of thing.

It is all deserved. The bloke appeals for penalties more than Shane Warne appealed for LBW's...

Pens got so much ref assistance last game (both goals) that even Don Cherry on Coach's Corner commented on Montreal getting bent over by the refs. I should be amazed if Paul Devorski and Eric Furlatt get anymore games in the playoffs. In fact they should never officiate again.

 

[TheStinger]

Whew. Got a bit hairy there at the end with Camel's goal but 2-1 is fine by me. Now to seal this at the Bell.

 

[pickman]

It's going to be tough for the Habs to win the next two to claim the series but they've bben good so far through the playoff so the Penguins shouldn't start popping the champagne corks yet.

 

[PalaceGun]

Montreal had enough chances (especially early), just didn't convert...

 

[TheStinger]

I reckon the Montreal goal was lucky anyway. The puck was under Fleury and should have been called dead. Meanwhile Camalleri is whacking away at him and somehow poked it in. Rubbish goal to take away Flower's shutout.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Pens figured out how to beat Halak.. just dont shoot so much

Well, take good shots anyway. That was the problem with Washington, too many bad shots and no-one around to get rebounds. You have to get a body in front of Halak, which is why we needed Guerin back in the lineup, and make him squirm. If he can see a shot he will save it.

Whacking away at him? The ref could see the puck through Fleury's open legs. Good positioning.

You might want to watch it again...

 

[Bradesmaen]

FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU a lost stick costs a goal. Dominating like all hell again too.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Jummmmmmmmmmboooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Drummond]

These refs are an absolute disgrace.

 

[Bradesmaen]

These refs are an absolute disgrace.

Haha what? Because the Wings can't keep their hands to themselves? The wings are taking stupid penalties that are there. End of story.

 

[Drummond]

Yes Bradesmaen, this is an excellent display of refereeing.









































For you.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Cry more. God, no wonder you're an Adelaide fan, it suits your whinging.

 

[Drummond]

Bad luck Vlasic.

 

[Bradesmaen]

So which decisions have been disgraceful Drum? The blatant elbow to Pavelski's mouth? The Shove into the net? The clear holding from Bertuzzi?

 

[Drummond]

Bertuzzi, I love it how he gets called for all the stuff that happens to him repeatedly.

You're so easy to get fired up Bradesmaen.

One period left for the season.

 

[Drummond]

Kronwall and Rafalski should be joining Grand Rapids next season.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Yeeeeehah. WCF here we come!

 

[PalaceGun]

Please refrain from any Gary Bettman speak...

It is the Clarence Campbell Conference Final.

How about the non-call on Murray for his blindsided high hit on Franzen? Could have sworn the NHL said they are eradicating that from the game and giving out majors for it. Should have been a 5 minute PP, then like 2 minutes later Marleau scores.

I'm not going to say we lost the series simply because of the refs, but if you don't think we got a hard run then you're extremely biased.

Was a very close series anyway and 4-1 doesn't tell the full story but well done.

 

[krudmonk]

The Murray hit was to the shoulder and Saint Johann crosschecked Nichol's face a bit later (no call) so who the hell cares.

 

[stay true]

He hit him on the cheek.

 

[Bradesmaen]

And then Franzen hit Murray in the head on a retalitory check, take the eye patch off.
