Ugh, I was in the car coming home from a meeting and his little orgasms every time Philly scored was frightening. The high pitched "He scOOOOHres!"

On an unrelated note, the Florida Panther ice girls could use some work.

SHOFEAR · #**302** Posted **Apr 16, 2012, 12:03 PM**

Two girls no cup. Simply awesome.

Other that hughson's homerisom what a game. If it isn't painfully obvious after kesslers antics why nobody likes the canucks then there is no hope. I hope brown drives him through the glass for snowing quick in the final minute and a half. Give the kings credit for not going after him then.

As much as I like seeing the pens loose, I don't want that series to be over in four.

There was nothing wrong with Brown's hit on Sedin.

Even if there was, it's not worth a suspension. I mean, Weber didn't get suspended for what he did. How could Brown's hit be considered worse?

Travis007 · #**304** Posted **Apr 16, 2012, 2:07 PM**

Atta boy Brown, clutch goal! And solid performance by Quick.

rrskylar · #**305** Posted **Apr 16, 2012, 2:12 PM**

Who's that Sedin sister knocking on the door, Do me a favor,
Open the door and let 'em in....

Calgarian · #**306** Posted **Apr 16, 2012, 2:24 PM**

Sad I missed the Pens Flyers game yesterday, sounded like a Classic in the making. Really surprised that the Pens got hammered again, I figured they would take game 3 for sure.

Great to see the Canucks down 3-0, Quick is having an unbelievable playoffs!

Brown's hit was clean, but the preamble was not so much... he knew what he was doing and while Brown is one of my favorite players because he finishes checks, that was pretty close to charging. That said, he and Quick stole the game... for the rest of LA was quite underwhelming. They were lucky to take the win.

Classic Kessler. I literally cackled out loud when I saw this one last night.

The Kings were a bit lucky that game. Vancouver's desperation showed. I'll take the win either way of course

I took total joy in seeing them lose again.

Just for record, I like the city of Vancouver itself, but can't stand the Canucks. Partly because they are in the same division as the Flames, but mainly because I don't like their players.

How can anyone possibly like the boring, melon headed Sedin sisters, or the smug jerky boy Kessler...... or how about the two most annoying players in the league Max Lapierre and Alex Burrows? The also have the most overrated goalie in Luongo. I couldn't route for the Canucks even if they were located in Zimbabwe.

Oh and Go Flyers!

One player I can't stand is that over rated goalie in Pittsburgh..I despised Marc Andre Fleury ever since he held out for more money in his rookie year.
He constantly has a smug look about him..His atrocious G.A.A and save % looks good on him right now.

Yume-sama · #**311** Posted **Apr 16, 2012, 6:43 PM**

lol a friend in Sweden phoned me this morning asking what's wrong with Sidney Crosby. Apparently us Canadians have to speak for his actions

Deepstar · #**312** Posted **Apr 16, 2012, 6:55 PM**

I was just listening to Jim Rom and he brought up the Canucks and their diving. I guess it's not just us 'Alberta haters' that think the Canucks are divers. There's a reason everyone keep associating them with diving.

Sooooo aside from that, great to see LA up 3-0. Never in my wildest dreams would I have predicated that.

Great to see Nashville up on the wings. Let's hope St Louis can pull out a win or two in SJ. They've been the better team so far, they just need to keep playing the way they're playing.

Rico Rommheim · #**313** Posted **Apr 16, 2012, 7:00 PM**

What a spectacular collapse by the canucks. How any of them can ever show their faces again in this town is mind boggling.

Coldrsx · #**314** Posted **Apr 16, 2012, 7:01 PM**

'Sooooo aside from that, great to see LA up 3-0. Never in my wildest dreams would I have predicated that.'

Goaltending wins series/cups. (unless you are the flyers)

simple as that

Quick has been great. LA played good solid road hockey in the first two games, not giving the Canucks alot of good clear chances. LA reminds me of the Flames of 2004.

You're dead on about the Flyers. They look like a team that would easily win the cup if they had better goaltending.

Except along with their grit and determination is actual amounts of fairly stacked talent!

Like just look at their "superstars"; Quick, Doughty, Kopitar, Richards, and Carter. Then look at just their normal stars; Brown, Penner, etc.

It's actually quite astonishing that basically them losing nearly 10 times this year when only allowing 1 goal has them in 8th instead of 3rd. And in the playoffs while being 29th in the league for Goals For, and one of only 2 teams under 200, with 194 (the Wild had only 177 of course!) Sutter seems to have righted their ship since his arrival, though.

Calgarian · #**317** Posted **Apr 16, 2012, 7:59 PM**

Sutter is a good coach, it's his GM skills that are lacking.

The best two years the Flames have had in the last 15 years have been under his coaching. Certainly a better coach than GM.......

Yume-sama · #**319** Posted **Apr 16, 2012, 10:28 PM**

So, Daniel Sedin was cleared and is flying to LA. Presumably with his best superhero costume.

Mike Richards and Jeff Carter are superstars???

Dustin "Pancake" Penner is a "star"??? Even Scott Gomez did produce at a greater pace this year...
