And away we go NHL thread!!!!

Tommy- what was Gaborik thinking going with Carcillo?

I think Gaborik just grabbed on and Carcillo jacked the RPM to redline on the right piston. Pretty bad I thought...I guess he should learn that he shouldn't grab Carcillo at all.

haha, he got worked harder than a $2 whore at mardi gras.

I think his gloves fell off by accident because his fighting technique seemed to be "Repeatedly smash my face into his right fist".

I love me some old time hockey, but that "fight" was Danny going berserk. He seems to be on or off when it comes to beat downs.

As a Flyers fan I could watch the Rangers take a beating all day!

I'm just surprised that of all the players on the ice at the time to grab, he picks Carcillo.

I love Tortorella's whining too!!

The refs are making some horrible calls on both sides in the Flyers/Pens game today.

at least they are consistent in that regard

[Spivonious]

yeah I guess that's better than inconsistency. I'd rather have them make correct calls though!

Flyers were robbed of their second goal from a soft roughing call (Malkin elbows Gagne, Gagne grabs Malkin) and the Pens given a 1-1 tie from a non-existent high-sticking minor on Gagne from the same occurence.

And how Orpik pushes Hartnell into the goalie and yet Hartnell gets a goalie interference.

I don't like conspiracy theories, but in the back of my mind I can't help but think Bettman wanted to help out his poster boy.

I don't think any bad calls could be directly attributed to any scores in that game...why do you think the high sticking penalty on Gagne was wrong? What do you think led to the coincidental roughing penalties? As was mentioned, the bad calls went both ways and none were game changing.

Both teams played well and both goalies made some great saves. The final goal was pretty crazy...a Gonchar slapper that went through two sets of legs, then off Cooke's stick and 5 hole. That's like three 5 holes on one shot

From a Pens fan...

Well, there wasn't a whistle before the goal, and the penalty took place well away from play. I also never saw a high stick, just some players pushing each other by the boards. Changing a game from 2-0 to 1-1 is game changing for me.

The final goal was a good one. The only way Emery could have stopped that one is if he had x-ray glasses.

[Shawn Lutz]

what about the finger biting? Did you guys see that?

Gonchar's goal was a lucky seeing eye goal in the right place. I wanted Philly to win but sort of glad it ended in regulation so it didnt conflict with me watching the Jets/Colts game

[Hellbat]

I got to go to the Canuck's/Blackhawks game on the weekend. The right team won!

[atomic charvel guy]

The Rangers are going straight to the Cup finals this year.
The Jets are playing in the Superbowl in two weeks too.

[atomic charvel guy]

Jimi Hendrix is playing the Staples Center tonight, I have 2nd row tickets.

[atomic charvel guy]

Archie Manning is going to start against his son in the Superbowl for his old team the Saints as well.

[atomic charvel guy]

Rex Ryan is gonna fill in for Tortorella for the rest of the season.

[atomic charvel guy]

Anyone else a little delusional today?
