Blackheart Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 He did...and he got 2:00 himself for embellishing it. Literally threw himself into the air. Give him a 5:00 major, diving problem solved.Some people like that style of play. Quote

MafiaMan Posted October 24, 2014 Author Posted October 24, 2014 Not a Penguins fan at all...but that's an awesome jersey. Besides, Sidney Crosby would look much better flopping in black and yellow as opposed to black and Vegas gold... Quote

BTW, the color of those jerseys is awesome...too bad they had to copy the Bruins. 1 Quote

Ray77 Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Zdeno Chara out 4-6 weeks...yikes. Rough start to the season for the Bruins so far. Quote
Snake Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Rough start to the season for the Bruins so far. No doubt. They've had a hard enough time adjusting to Boychuk's absence...now this. Defensive depth is definitely being tested. Hopefully the 3rd period of last night's game is more indicative of how they will play without Chara than the 2nd period was. I also wonder if getting all the pomp & circumstance of Boychuk's return over and done with can help them move on a bit. He was a big piece, for sure, but they seem to have had a hard time dealing with his loss. It almost reminds me of when Seidenberg went down last season...it took a good 10-15 games before the D & PK were straightened out. Let's hope losing Chara doesn't set them back another 10 games.

sioux rube Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Wouldn't that make you a hypocrite? Shootouts are for the Olympics and that's where they should stay. I agree. Shootouts are an individual competition not a team thing. I hate that the winning team of a shootout gets a point. Dumb. Quote
UND-RedSox fan Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 I think the 3 point system for all games would be awesome. Hockey is making a concession for the casual fan with shootouts but all sports are making concessions for casual fans. Most diehard football fans love good defensive battles but the rules are being changed for more offense and the fantasy football fan. It's just the way things are going. Three point system would provide for incentive to win games before the shootout and less playing for ties. Not perfect but it would be better and would help solve the loser point problem. Quote

MafiaMan Posted October 25, 2014 Author Posted October 25, 2014 Steven Stamkos is worth the price of admission. The new kid Jonathan Drouin is gonna be good too. Watch out for Tampa Bay, folks! Quote

Tampa Bay has a good thing going and I wouldn't be surprised to see them make a deep run in the playoffs if not win it all. Quote
MafiaMan Posted October 25, 2014 Author Posted October 25, 2014 I think Harry Sinden would disagree with you.The city of Pittsburgh flag - black and yellow The Steelers - black and yellow The Pirates - black and yellow The Penguins - Hey, let's be black and yellow! Harry Sinden - waaaaaaaah! 1 Quote
MafiaMan Posted October 25, 2014 Author Posted October 25, 2014 I did some research, though, Blackheart, on Harry Sinden, after your comments. He was so incensed about the Penguins' proposed color change that he had a Bruins jersey done in Red Wings colors and brought it to the Board of Governors meeting. Owners, however, were already so mad at him that he chickened out and didn't show it to everyone as a protest against Pittsburgh's change. Funny story...I wonder what ever happened to that jersey?

What's up with that? My Blackheart sensor just went off so I got here as fast as I could...I watched last night's game courtesy of Dish's free NHL Center Ice package week-long free preview and can honestly say that Detroit absolutely worked over Philly for 97% of last night's game, yet was only ahead 1-0. Attempted shots at one point were like 50something to 15. The 4th Flyer goal was an empty netter. Good game. Philly got off to a slow start but has been playing well as of late. They defeated the hated Penguins a couple of nights earlier in Pittsburgh. Quote
