OT: Around the NHL: Playoffs!!!

[Shockmaster]

Yeah they kept showing garbage on the ice during handshakes. Just sad.



Yes they are?

Whoops, misread the post

Boston is almost trashier than Philly.

I had this discussion yesterday with a couple of friends over drinks. We came to the conclusion that both are just as trashy as the other, but in different ways. Philly is more trashy in the traditional sense, but Boston is more of a pompous trashy.

I wouldn't wear an opposing jersey in either arena.

I wouldn't even go to Philadelphia willingly

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Aren't these the two teams we played the most in the playoffs since the Crosby era

We've played the Caps more than the Sens, I think.

It's not that bad, when you leave sports out of it. I went for the Philadelphia Sakura Festival a couple weeks ago.

Surprised that NBC has a Pens Sympathizer (Rupp) on the crew.

Philly, minus the sports, is actually a beautiful historical city. Full of stone homes where a lot of the stone came from Pittsburgh. Some great American history. Some great food. Sure, the people aren't as friendly as Yinzers, but it happens.

I hate the sport fans. But let's not put the entire town in that circle.

Yeah, 4 times each. Variety.

This has clearly bred rivalries since I was surprised that many series had happened. Then the Flyers 3 times, Washington/Tampa/Detroit/Columbus twice and some one offs.

Sens and 98 points have home ice over Rangers 102 points. Anyone else have an issue with this " System".

This sounds like an exact description of Boston, and I'm pretty sure most would agree that Boston is a lot nicer than Philly.

I used to like Liam a lot, but his voice is so boring and so negative. I can't tak eit. Get rid of Roenick, Milbury, Jones, and Liam. Get positive voices in there. I want someone to sell the excitement. I love Rupper. I love Weekes. Tony Luftman, or whatever his name is may be overly annoying with his positivity, but he makes you believe you are watching something awesome.

Boston is definitely nicer. Alot more to do. Went to the old Boston Garden once.

I have reasons for believing otherwise, but don't want to drag down the board with them.

OK, so let's look at this.

Liam (Broadcast 4 Life) has spent many a year surrounded by Milbury (NYI), Roenick (PHI), and Jones (PHI).

As Pens fans, can we really expect him to not hate the living **** out of us?

Rupp scored the most goals in his career with us, so he's got a soft spot.

 

[66-30-33]

Sens won, just watch Caps win to end the 1st round with 0 game 7's and series probably starts Tuesday.

I just used to enjoy Liam because he has some positive vibes about him. I feel every intermission is a damn funeral. They always focus on the negative penalties and everything. Never focus on the "wow" moments.

Yea, almost everyone dislikes it. This isn't anything new but Garry says he is happy with it so, what are you going to do?

but it works perfectly... just look at the "rivalries" that its creating


either way though 1 and 2 in the conference should not be meeting up in the second round

I hear nothing but amazing things about Boston. Out of all the times I've driven through or by for hockey, I've never spent time there. A few friends go up there like 3x a year for long weekends. Love the city. I hear it's beautiful.

I can only speak for Philly. My father grew up there and my Grandmother, before her passing, lived there. I was always amazed at the beautiful homes.

And if i'm not mistaken, actually tied into an agreement for 3 more years. Is that right?

For someone like me, Boston has a reputation of being significantly less hospitable...

 

[ColePens]

How does this game start at 7:10 with 2 anthems and Pens games can never get underway until like 718. I wish NHL was like MLB. 7:05 starts.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Go caps.

I hate the leafs fans, their coach and their gm far too much to hope they win even against the caps. **** Toronto.

Wish I could speak to it. I have no desire to go there. Pittsburgh hits my appetite for "city" life and everything else I need warm weather. Hawaii, Vegas, etc.
