Cap of potentially $63.5 million next season. Philly has to be stoked they could be gifted a buuunch of extra cap space.

Is here where we spout off about how dumb Chicago is for going all out to win that Cup and putting themselves in salary cap hell … for one season … in which they still took the Western Conference Cup reps to seven games? What a bunch of idiots they are.

I confess, I am cheering for Vancouver. Besides, that one fan who pops in here sometimes seems pretty nice. And all of the perpetrators of Bertuzzi evil are gone.

To hate Vancouver just because of that incident is stupid IMO.
That being said, I’ve supported Boston (and Nashville) since the playoffs started so it’s needless to say who I cheer for.
Because....fuck the Red Wings!
I hate them for many other reasons. That is just one that always stuck with me.
Common guys were talkin’ Division rival here!
And Canadian….
Datsyuk may have done it first, but he learned it from Peter Forsberg.

I really think that should be delay of game.
When a guy is blatantly laying on the puck like that and refusing to move. How is this not the exact definition of delay of game?

This is really, really, really, really NSFW only because of bad words (not boobs or anything). It’s not a picture or video or audio, but I just want to make sure we’re all forewarned.

Fleury > Price this year… especially after Malkin/Crosby and just about every single forward on the top 3 lines went down.
Fleury sucked at the start of the year badly though.But I’d agree it was close between those 2.

Why?
Tim Thomas was the only reason that game was even close. Can he play a whole series like that? I picked 5 games and I’m happy.
"Sit tall in the saddle, hold your head up high, keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky. Live like you aint afraid to die and don't be scared, just enjoy your ride."
I can proudly say I fought the urge to even turn over to this game.
the temptation was so bad at times, but I’m glad I wasn’t watching when Vancouver scored a lucky shit goal which may have been offside.
I feel embarrassed to be a hockey player and teacher when I watch the Canucks play.
Here’s to NOT watching at least 3 more “hockey games” this season!
Just remember what the MPAA says: Horrific, deplorable violence is okay, as long as people don't say any naughty words!
