    Hahaha...just like I call for his head nightly cause he's wearing a Pens jersey. Although that applies to the Flyers as well. Realignment better happen next year. Even if we still suck I want the fuck out of the Southeast and get back all our old Patrick division rivals.

    Yeah, I can buy all of this. I wasn't happy when we got him at the deadline the year we went 7 with you guys. He's definitely not as bad as he used to be. Like you said though, he's always going to have that rep, and I think a lot of fans are jaded by him and are going to see this and assume...

    You tried to sell Matt Cooke as completely reformed too. While he's definitely not running around every other game anymore he's still had one or two incidents even since "cleaning up" his game. A Lady Byng will not be in his future.

    One I found quickly. Doesn't look like much of a slew, although I'm sure fans everywhere will decide whether or not they think it's an "intentional stomp" or whatever. Not something I think anyone has any real way of proving. Sucks for the Sens.

    Think everyone knows what it technically is, but so many other borderline plays get labeled that. Haven't seen video of it yet, I just remember the Ovechkin incident was a similar scenario, going towards the boards into a check with Peverly with one leg off the ice and when they overbalanced...

    Heard the same defense used of Ovechkin's "slewfoot" on Peverly couple years back. Reckless play is a reckless play, although I'd like to see a regular speed video first. Feel bad for Karlsson, even if it's bullshit he got a Norris for putting up O numbers at a slightly worse clip than Green...

    Fucking Devils not helping us out. Montreal somehow blew a 3-0 lead to let Tampa get a loser point too. Oh well crazy comeback 6-5 OT win for us.

    Versteeg is such a pussy. Turns his back to Ovechkin at last minute to try and draw a charge and fakes like he's hurt. Doesn't miss a shift and comes right back out and cross checks Ovechkin going after him for the hit, linesman breaks it up before Versteeg gets killed. They both get minors...

    It's pretty nuts how stacked they were 3 years ago when they won the Cup, then had to have a bit of a sell off b/c how far over the cap they would have been. Have to give a lot of credit to them for being back at this level so soon after that.

    I wonder how the fact you only play in conference games in this shortened season will affect that number. Any OT game instantly means 3 point games in your conference, etc.

    Edko I know McKinney has had weight issues, but you don't think you might want to bring him back after the reshuffle on the O line late in the year? Really made a difference in the pass protection for the playoffs giving Flacco all that time to be successful throwing the ball.

    I don't think Dave would be boring TV b/c he gets shit done. Aside from the funny drama at times the only thing you really care about watching is how much they get every cleanup...and Dave just moves dirt and finds gold. If they did a Dave v. Todd season (when they aren't working together...

    Was nice to see the Caps play a complete game for once. Holtby actually looked like he did last year in the playoffs again...picked up a primary assist on a great lead pass to catch Florida in a bad change. Liked the way our lines are starting to roll a little more too. We'd have a looooong...

    Not a soul should be shocked soon as Dave left, Todd goes back on the agreement he made with him to discuss opening a new lower cut in a week once he was back. I can't wait to see the plant break down now.

    Nice game Grimm...pretty sad when you guys don't even have to try in the 3rd and that's all we can manage. Wonder how long until we trade Ribiero to a contender.

    that was a sick shot. Of course the penalty was a terrible call with Alzner turning around from a dead stop to chase the puck and Neal allowed to haul him down while climbing over him to somehow be interference on Alzner. Meanwhile Fehr gets manhandled chasing down a possible breakaway to no...

    "Retooling" bro. Had a discussion with some other Skins fans today, I had to kind of laugh at them thinking we were a lock to win 12 games next year. I don't believe I'm nuts in thinking we could regress to 8-8 or worse considering we won't be playing a last place schedule next year (hello...

    I'd love to watch Dave have a completely separate team. Honestly if you're an investor watching the show, who would you give money if they could get a claim with proven gold deposits? Dave.

    I don't know, feels like when we have a lot of possession it's all cycling and kept to the outside, which isn't terrible, but we just don't generate a lot of good chances that way. We looked pretty good in the 3rd, but have to wonder how much of that was related to you guys being up 2.

    Don't worry too much Meth, we always seem to find some legs when down 2, we'll probably push the rest of the way and give up a soft goal late to end it.

    More of the same from the Caps. Not getting great goaltending, look decent for stretches, then a ridiculously bad breakdown sprinkled in to give up goals.

    Yeah I don't understand the Kaeperbro hate. The pick was a horrible overthrow, but he made so many plays last night and literally was 5 yards away from MVP. Yes, MVP. Assuming he either throws it in or ran it in himself he would have went for over 300 yards, 3 total TD's, with the one pick...

    Grabbing the facemask is a penalty, and I fail to see him being grabbed by the helmet, a guy has his legs tangled, and the defender goes in to make a tackle. Simply putting your head down to make a tackle is NOT spearing. Spearing would be a full on horizontal launch head first, and you just...

    Especially after getting it below the 2 minute warning...you'd think on 2nd down at least they'd spread them out and give Gore a chance to run it in...would either waste more clock to prevent leaving the Ravens time for a field goal to tie/win, or they'd have to burn a timeout.

    I can buy into that "shouldn't have let it be that close", but sometimes it will be that close. I do think they were pretty consistent with letting them play all game, but I can also totally understand Niners fans being upset about 4th and goal last chance and having a non call in that...
