Around SBN: 2012 Budweiser Shootout Entry List Released

Tuesday May 4 NHL Playoffs: Round 2 Open Thread

Game Three featuring Versus wunderkind Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins battling against the USS Hal Gill and his Montreal Canadiens.  That series is tied after two games.  The West Coast Timezone gets to watch the US's one man wrecking crew of Joe "Don't Call Me Jr." Pavelski and his Sharks of San Jose vs. the Detroit Red Wings led by Noble Prize Laureate Jimmy Howard.  The Wings look to the friendly confines of a nearly empty lower bowl at JLA to help them dig out of a 2-games-to-none hole against the Corsi-favored Sharks.

If the Big Pavelski gets a hat trick this game on 3 PPs earned by Olympic class diving phenom Setoguchi, would the Dead Things throw their tin foil hats on the ice?

I spent more effort eating a pudding than Tyler Arnason skated last year.

More Betterer or just Gooderer?

Devin Setoguchi or Greg Louganis?

Discuss amongst yourselves.

Unfortunately for Louganis, there’s really nobody that can hold a candle to Setoguchi’s diving ability.

I mean, just look at that beauty and form.

One check in the “reasons to like the Penguins” column: Leopold. I understand all the Leoprone hate, but I always liked him and was sad when he left. He’s not enough to actually make me LIKE them tho.

This is our team: underrated, filled with amazingly talented kids and veteran leaders, both young and old, who are buying into the vision of a hard working, fast moving, never-say-die game. They are the 2009-2010 Colorado Avalanche.

by Cheryl Bradley on May 4, 2010 6:42 PM MDT reply actions  

Same here. I was always a big Leo fan, and still think he could have been an above average D-man for us if he wasn’t always injured. Remember his shootout goal against Detroit? But…. won’t make me cheer for the Pens.

Forever grateful that Joe Sakic isn't a douche bag like Brett Favre.

Is there any reason to like Matt Cooke?

I know it’s not AV-related, but is the dude just trying to injure people?

by Brett Shumway on May 4, 2010 6:46 PM MDT reply actions  

I could find a special place in my heart for Matt Cooke if he could somehow find a way to mash Steve Nash’s face into the boards.

You know, I will take this in stride.

The Red Wings suck. At least we got 2 games from San Jose. Now they are my favorite team.

Darren McCarty is in the studio for Vs.

I imagine he’s gonna need a little extra time to clear up the tears.

It’s standard issue for Wings fans. It comes with the tin foil hat survival kit.

Jimmy Howard is just letting San Jose get a head start, he’ll now take control and win every game until the Cup is his.

After game 3's for Sharks

1st round – Avs lead 2-1

2nd round – Sharks lead 3-0 against the Wings. HA

When the Sharks fans and players admit the first round was harder than the second.

Jimmy Howard isn’t crying, he’s spraying himself with a dose of reality.

Seriously, is that an AP caption or an MHH caption?

How dare you slander the marketing creation that is “HockeyTown”? Seriously, I’ll believe that shit when I believe Bud Light is a good beer based on Super Bowl commercials. If any town is Hockeytown, its Montreal, not Detroit. I mean, for fucks sake, no one even LIVES there.

They're not even Hockeytown in the US

Minnesota sucks, and they can sell out their arena every game. Detroit is a power house year after year and they can’t sell out playoff games.

Always surprises me too

But they support their team no matter how bad it is, I’ll give them that.

You guys should check out the photochop gallery they have going on at FTF for Pavelski. It’s really awesome.

Except for that kid who stole my bear riding shark idea.

But who can’t appreciate that?

Howard wasn’t happy with the performance, so he altered all of our memories to include Osgood in net instead of him.
