Cant win at hockey so resorting to girlie stuff

I thought the Flyers were the only team that pulled this crap.

 

[GlitchMarner]

Boston beats us 4-2 and I have less faith against them then TB. We can not beat Boston in Boston its like our Achilles heel.

Then I'm going have to rely on the damn Leafs or Washington or NYI because I sure as hell don't want BOS to win anything.

 

[mikeyp24]

Exactly. The best thing Foligno can do is do his best to send Stamkos packing.

At the same time 99% of the time I take that trade off if Fligs gets him to accept for being a bitch... now thats only if we are up or its still no score. Nicky grabs that 3rd or 4th line and puts the team on his back when we are down and gets the teams energy up and then we win. In order to have that energy we can lose him for 5minutes.

Stamkos has answered the bell plenty for a skill buy.

If asked, he likely goes. The question is will foligno push the issue over a nothing jab?

Getting a chance is not pushing the issue

Also Foligno would murder him but he prefers to play hockey and show up when its meaningful

 

[Max McBolt]

When did Columbus make fun of the Habs?

I mean I can understand if you’re unhappy that the Habs missed the playoffs. I never saw Columbus making fun of them.

The default montreal Canadiens fan's position.

I'd welcome another flu pandemic before seeing the bruins win

Greatest team not most point team when one team gets points for 3 on three overtime wins and the carnival show.

I cam see why some people would like to say Tampa was the best regular season team, people like to lie.

Tampa has Steven Stamkos who trained with Gary Roberts. Not a single player on that Canadiens team did.

Hesitant to say how good they really were.

So you get to take more offense about Stamkos jabbing foligno than foligno himself?

He probably won't ask because it was a non event. If he does ask, for whatever reason, I suspect Stamkos agrees win lose or draw.

As much as I agree with this - and, trust me, there's no sports city where I hate every team they have like Boston - is it even worth it at this point? Red Sox are the reigning champions. Patriots are the reigning champions. Those teams have 10 championships combined since effin' 2001. It's almost not even worth it anymore. As a good friend of mine (and a CBJ fan, go figure) has said recently - Boston sports fans can actually ask themselves "gee whiz, should I try to get off work to attend the parade?" and be able to say "no", knowing the next parade isn't far behind.

Oh my goodness they said you need to get high enough in the standings to qualify for the playoffs.

That's what happens when your team isn't trained by Gary Roberts and everyone is inhaling leaded gasoline.

Bruins won 49 games in the RS
Caps won 48 games in the RS
Jackets won 47 games in the RS

They aren't anything like the '94 Sharks

 

[c9777666]

To think Carolina almost got Tampa.....

 

[BruinsBtn]

Did Cirelli slewfoot Bobrovski?

 

[sandysan]

Did Cirelli slewfoot Bobrovski?

He certainly interfered with him, I thought they were going after him in the scrum

 

[Anisimovs AK]

It was a jab in a scrum from a talent guy. maybe foligno should go to the quiet room after getting rocked like that

Considering your post history its odd you are defending this action.

If you're responding to my comment, that's not, well, even close to the point I was trying to make. The "embarrassing" thing in this case deals with a 128-point team (inflated due to the post-lockout era, sure, but still a really high number) being on the verge of being swept out of the playoffs in the first round. A 128-point team literally winning zero playoff games. Opponent almost doesn't even matter in that case, although I personally said quite a few times before the series that anyone considering Columbus to be an "easy out" for the Lightning was stuffing their heads full of nonsense. To be that good in the regular season and then immediately be that bad in the playoffs, to get completely outplayed...that's where the basis for comparison is.

There's nothing to defend, it was and is a non issue.

 

[Mike Mike Caron]

I think if you replayed that series 500 more times the Caps win all 500. May never see something like that again.

It was incredible to watch, by game 6 we knew Halak was winning the series, even if Habs didn't tuch the puck for strechs of 10 minutes, we knew we were winning in 7 games.

 

[Cellee]

It could happen.... Need to finish the deed Tuesday...

Conversely, CBJ was up 2-0 and it went the wrong way so it shouldn't be hard to get their attention

 

[Alex1234]

Listen, I wasn't talking about the Pens until that dude brought them up to deflect. This all started because I was defending your team! I'm saying I'm ok with a down year.

You mean you are ok with a sweep hey?
ok got it lol

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

If Columbus gets past Tampa and that’s a big if, remember when the Bruins were up 3-0 on the Flyers?

They will have to be on top of their game to have a chance against the Toronto/Boston winner.

Good luck to you against Toronto.

Boston or Toronto don’t stand a chance against Columbus imo, the Blue Jackets are on another level.

 

[Caps8112]

If everyone picked Tampa, does it really **** anything up?

Picked Columbus but also picked the God damn penguins
