thebug Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Thanks. Just adding a bit of good natured ribbing salted with a bit of truth. True or False? Did the Pens not get a free goal by the puck bouncing off of Orlov's skate? True or False? Did Bonino get hit int he face or chest? He sold the hit. Am I wrong? True or False? You're still upset the Caps beat Toronto. Mr Bandwagon Fan. Lol. Stuff happens in every game. True or false? Not upset at all about the Leafs losing to the Caps. In fact, I never expected a team with 8 rookies in the lineup to even compete with the Pres trophy winners! They held their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Dunno who can take the Pens down. I'm rooting for the Sens in the East, but I don't think they can match that juggernaut. If Pekka Rinne keeps playing like he is they could do it. Also the veteran Ducks could match up pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're still upset the Caps beat Toronto. Mr Bandwagon Fan. Re the "own goal," that's hockey. Every team has been on both sides of those bounces in hockey. Re getting outshot, same thing. The Pens have lost lots of games where they have doubled their opponents' shots. Just playing the Rangers with Lundqvist or Bruins when Rusk was on his game-- those guys would steal games or have defenses that caused the shots to be less effective. Re the Bonino hit, I honestly don't recall the play. Was it the Oshi high stick at the end of the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen many west playoff games yet, but this surprised me given that the East had a lopsided advantage during the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can fool the ref it's a win. Take advantage when and where you can. Bill Belichic would be proud. Like I said. Good acting that aided his team. I see it more like the Penguins are the Patriots or Broncos of the East. They are loaded. I just saw this after my post. So apropos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It usually the retaliator that gets caught because the ref can't see everything. Sure, but in the NHL players get a rep and calls come accordingly. Ask Kadri how many times he has not gotten a legit call because of all his diving in his first couple of years. You dive in the NHL in the 2nd period and they will !@#$ you in the 3rd.

That Leafs choke job was in game 7. Still, an impressive job by Edmonton. Complaining about the refs is lazy. No matter if it's justified or not They ought to look in the mirror about goals 1 and 2.

plenzmd1 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Why do Sabres fans hate Lucic? Did I miss something? He picked on the Sabres for a long while, and in typical Sabre fashion, we had no response, ever. This was just the icing on the cake. Truly the game and hit that started the Sabres on the way to the tank and to where we are today. Edited May 7, 2017 by plenzmd1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston went to the final that year. If the Bruins were a vastly superior team, how did the Leafs push it to 7? Not to mention having a 4-1 lead in the 3rd with half a period to play. Did Boston just suddenly decide to play up to their talent level? No. You don't blow 3 goal leads without choking in a major way. Nice try at revisionist history. I'll give you that.
