Kreider in the lineup for the Rangers tonight, sat out the first two games.

Good choice by the Ranger's.  He will be much more effective than John Scott, unless this game turns into the Pens-Flyers game of last night.

I just saw the highlights...or lowlights...of that game, it was all cheap shots by Pittsburgh. Was it really that bad?

Sioux jersey sighting... front row on the glass, zoomed in on him alone celebrating after Laich's goal (Washington's 3rd) around 14min in the 3rd.

3 periods of it.

St. Louis wins 4-3, Oshie took quite a few big hits this game but was his usual scrappy self.  Blues are looking pretty good.

Sioux jersey sighting...in Washington...hmm...isn't that where you're located Jim?!

Philadelphia has totally demolished Pittsburgh.   Pittsburgh is totally done.   It is indeed strange that Philly is the level-headed and composed team.

I can't ever recall a team as talented as Pittsburgh crash and burn this fast and hard.

I am starting to really hate the Flyers a lot. They're not quite at the Bruins/Capitals level but getting very close. If any one of those three teams wins the Cup I think I'll be sick. Anybody else I would be okay with.

For me it's Colorado, then Detroit...those two teams should never win another Stanley Cup.

I see NJ has pissed away an early 3-0 lead at home and is down 4-3 to Florida after 2.

Brodeur pulled in the first, wow I wonder if that has ever happened before?!

EDIT: They lose 4-3, not a happy crowd.

That was a very sad excuse for a hockey game....Not the kind of thing to attract more hockey fans.

While this postseason has been a litlle bit of the bloodbath judging by the numbers the fans are enjoying it, playoff viewership is up by something like 30%, and the Pit/Philly game Sunday had something like a 50% viewership increase compared to last years game in that slot.

And while I was reading this Hossa just got destroyed at center ice and has layed there for about 3 minutes. Oh crap now they are putting him on a board. On the replay the guy left his feet so he will have some repercussions from that hit. Looks like it was Torres. And now Toews is jawing at the Phoenix bench, announcers are saying that some of the Phoenix guys were laughing on the bench and Toews saw it.

This could get ugly later.

Heard Hossa still isn't moving in the hospital.

I'm certainly not a Flyers fan, but I was glad to see Pittsburgh get their collective butts handed to them for gooning it up Sunday.   Asham gets 4 games, Neal gets 1, Adams gets 1.    No Philly suspensions.

Seriously? That was 2 hours ago, man I hope this isn't some kind of spine injury.

I think Torres better enjoy this game, with his suspension history and this hit he might not play NHL hockey for a long time after tonight.

Asham and Neal got what they deserved, but I can't believe the Flyers got off without any punishment whatsoever. That is a travesty in my opinion. Hartnell, just to name one, is a piece of garbage. Has a personality that would be better suited for WWF than the NHL.

''After initial evaluation on the ice, (Hossa) was taken by ambulance to the hospital for further testing, which yielded encouraging results,'' team physician Dr. Michael Terry said. ''He has been released from the hospital and we are monitoring him closely at home.''

Flyers didn't get fined because they didn't want to fight or cheap shot anybody because they weren't about to go down 3-0 in the series.

I don't know how you can be so wrong all the time. I think you have a persecution complex and you're trying to be annoying.   You're not actually a "Sioux" fan, I don't think, either.  You want UND to suffer so your Gophers will be happy.

Anyway....

Sid hates them as well! They have crawled in his head and have made him and his teammates act like a bunch of immature 12 year olds.

Do you have any understanding at all of the game of hockey?

On the other hand, it is pretty funny watching Crosby play "tough guy".  Too bad Dave Schultz wasn't around to clean his clock.
