make sure you win the game first and then take care of business
The Penguins will miss Staal, but they are still going to be a tough team. Flyers/Rangers/Penguins will be in a race for first.
I don't think they'll miss Staal as much as people think. I actually like that trade better for them than the Hurricanes. Sutter has the best on-ice goals against rate among forwards in the league since he's been in it. In exchange, Carolina got a player in a shortened season that they likely would have signed for free in 6 months.
That was the biggest ***** move on his part. He ran right to the bench when all the scrums started.Neal is a dirtbag, and a ***** to boot.
After his cheapshots to Couturier and Giroux, guess where he was? Hiding on the ****ing bench.
I want to see him on the ice. Send Rinaldo, Sestito, Simmonds after him.
I want Neal pummelled. Other than that, hope Schenns boys go ape shift with hard , clean checks. Play Sestitto after Neal and rag doll the *****.
I'm not coming here to start ****, but I think the Flyers got their revenge by winning the series? You guys are also talking about taking Pens players' heads off for what they did? Do you guys think Giroux should get his head taken off because of the headshot he delivered to Zubrus?
Like I said, not in here to start ****, I'm just curious as to what you think. There's no double standard, so if the consequence of playing dirty is getting dirty hits in return, then you're saying Giroux deserves the same thing. You can also take my approach and say "the Devils got their revenge by winning the series"
Personally, I think it's a new season and teams will be focused to get 2 points, not goon it up, but hey that's just my opinion.
I wouldn't be pissed at someone going after Giroux. It was a stupid, stupid move on his part and if he has to pay for it, well that's hockey.I'm not coming here to start ****, but I think the Flyers got their revenge by winning the series?

Both will be addressed at the appropriate time. It's not always the next game. The difference though is that the Penguins/Flyers was bitter and has been bitter for a while. Can't really say the same about Flyers/Devils. The Penguins series was driven by emotion, the Devils series was devoid of it. And I think that is part of what took the Flyers out.

But Neal went after Couturier AND Giroux, essentially the same (or next) shift. No offense to Zubrus, but he isn't a star player. We all know players get more pissed when something happens to their star player.
Then Neal had the audacity to hide on the bench when the scrums started. That's what really pissed me off.
Apparently I'm the only one that thinks outside of being a lil late, the Giroux hit on Zubrus was clean.
Giroux- 5' 11
Zubrus- 6' 5
Girouxs skates never left the ice.
How does a guy hit a whose half a foot taller in the head if he never leaves the ice?
Answer is Zubrus was hunched over after dumping the puck in.
You're not going to see me nailing Roo for hitting a guy after he dumped the puck in considering NJ's D ran similar interference on our guys the entire series and didn't get called for it.
I also want to note that this isn't the only case where Zubrus has been caught with his head down.
