Video End of Flyers - Pens game

[artiesrevenge]

Yea, he totally hid. Asham went after a guy who was being restrained by the ref. Yet Rinaldo's the coward?

restrained...lol...the ref had his back to rinanldo...he wanted no piece of asham..if you think otherwise then you dont understand too much and talk a lot of jibberish on here..take care pal.

One of the few games this year where having Shelley and Sestito around would have been a good thing. They wouldn't have allowed Schenn to get cheap shotted over and over. Asham would have been missing some teeth.

I'll bet his dad can beat your dad...

Doesn't change the fact that Asham went after a defenseless player (Schenn)

Other than Engelland, the Pens have no answer for those two, and he can't take them both. Asham's face would look like a smashed watermelon after a bout with Shelley.

ok...you right..crosby is crsyby..my bad

What???? Your posts are absolutely ridiculous. Seriously, what is this in response to?

 

[Broad st phantom]

This is a fair post. I've never understood the phenomenon of this

I know I'll get reprimanded for generalizing the entire fan base, same as the thread after the last Pens-Flyers game. But...

The majority of, but not all, Flyers fans seem to love the tag of the tough, gritty, and sometimes dirty team.

Why when another team is tough, gritty and sometimes dirty in response, or God forbid, first, the same group becomes whiny (not specifically you, since you are saying you are OK if it's either team dishing it out)?

Mob mentality, anytime something goes down it's always a this side vs that side battle of arguments. HF examples, every time a post is made by a questionable play(s) you hardly get rational discussion from the teams fan bases involved.

I dislike the penguins, but only cause there a rival team. Rivalries get heated, and it is not as if they sit around and think about how they can piss off the opposing fan base this afternoon. Personally, I love this rivalry and it's good guy vs bad guy scenario. Both teams are gritty, and if we are gonna talk about teams being dirty neither the Flyers or Pens are angels, no team is, ***** happens.

Was the hit on Briere necessary? No probably not, but I wont call foul on something I would find amusing if the roles were reversed. I also think that hit was more of a result from the game in a whole and the previous actions of both sides.

Oh yeah!! Asham can pound them both at the same time with one hand tied behind his pack, he has metal talons than he can wield and slash Shelley's face and then using his ninja skills, he can pummel the other guy with blinding speed and extract each of his teeth and imbed them in his forehead before anyone knows what happened. So there!

You can be tough guy all you want when you are sitting in the press-box..

You're going to disappoint a great many posters with this little nugget...

The Flyers were on the wrong side of every bit of that IMO. First, the hit was absolutely clean and no, you shouldn't stop competing because you're probably going to lose the game. Second, I am so sick of coaches getting worked up about line match ups. Boohoo, your opponent put out their fourth line against your first - have your first line smoke them and teach them a lesson. Nobody has to fight anybody in any circumstance ever. It's really not that big a deal if your opponent puts tough guys against your skill players. This whole situation got violent because the Flyers couldn't handle a big clean hit at the end of the game and yet Lavi is mad because of what Pens line was out. I don't see the logic.

Cute. Congratulations, you've convinced me to leave this thread. I have no interest in arguing with a 14 year old. That post wasn't even directed at you or anyone else for that matter. Either way, so long. You'll probably respond to this with an even more ridiculous post, given your seeming necessity to always have the last word.

Too late.

If Hartnell, Rinaldo, or whoever laid a big hit and was still clean on Malkin, The Pens would respond the same.

 

[Teezax]

Who cares if the hit was clean, which I agree it was, the argument was him giving a hit like that at that point in a decided game. Clearly the Flyers are going to react as i'm sure the Pens would have had the roles been reversed. See you Saturday ladies.

 

[Hammer Slammer]

Intense game, loved it. "Hulk Hogan's brother" and Hartnell were cracking me up.

[PJStock*]

LOL @ Laviolette.

His team starts crap after a pefectly clean check and he freaks out that the Pens are dirt bags...


I hope they meet in the POs. It will be awesome.

I'm glad you'll be watching then, after all, you will have a lot of time on your hands

So you wouldn't be the least bit p.o'd, if say, the Rags were playing the Penguins, and you were up with a minute or so left, and then all of a sudden, they put out their 4th line who hadn't played in over 12 minutes? To what, protect their deficit? And lol at the people calling for 'playing to the whistle.' Playing to the whistle in this case would mean sending out Malkin, Crosby, Letang etc, to try and get back a goal or two in the game. Bushleague move, but I wouldn't expect anything else from the Penguins. They cry when their own players are targetted, yet they somehow are allowed free reign to do it themselves.

I wouldn't worry about it too much... you see Pens fans would be screaming for justice if Asham was still in the orange and black, yet now they defend his goon tactics... Talk about a guy that deserves to be caged, thats Asham.

It will be very interesting to see who dresses if the game next weekend means NOTHING.

The Flyers already took a cheap shot at Crosby, who has missed most is the past two seasons concussed, with the game basically decided with four minutes left. Should he have put him out to be cheap shotted again? Fourth line made sense, and they got their shots in to boot. Why did the Flyers put their first line out is the question.

That said, broad street bullies or a bunch of whiney girls? I am confused as the Flyers played both cards in the last four minutes. I know what my opinion on the issue is. Acting like a tool is bad enough, crying like a bunch of three year old girls after called on it is just pathetic.

Bylsma should have put on Staal line and Laviolette shouldn't have put Schenn on. Both of them caused what happened in a way

 

[Terrapin]

Flyers are the typical bullies, and this time when they started their ****, they got their ***** handed to them. Why wasn't that **** Hartnell on the ice with a minute left? Too big of coward? Must be, since he runs his mouth and cheapshots all game long. Then Shenn cheapshots Crosby, and obviously can't understand why someone's gonna smack him for it. Like I said, Flyers are a bunch of tools. Maybe you'll win another cup in the next 30 years.

Doesnt change the fact Schenn crosschecked a defenseless player. Take the homer glasses off and call a spade a spade.
