Kings are playing quite sloppy tonight. If the constant turnovers weren't bad enough, Quick just scored a shorty on himself... with no one around...

I went to that game. Sat almost directly behind the net and maybe half way up. Was crazy to see, seemed much slower when it happened.

Thomas Hertl with four goals tonight. He had two last game as well. His fourth goal was fuckin greasy.
Yeah it was. Gif version because I love gifs.

NHL Network guys were killing the Rangers for their almost total lack of defense on him.

Juicy Jo had a hat trick for the Pens today, but Eric Staal had the best goal of the game with a pretty awesome deflection while laying on the ice. Couldn't find a good angle gif of it though.

Pretty nice goal. No fucking surprise to hear Kesler bitching about it, it being something that should be in the "All-Star game", when one of the fucking sisters has done it an a game. Reminds me of Tampa players and specifically St. Louis bitching about Omark's spinorama shootout goal when St. Louis himself had done it before.

Fuck I hate the Canucks.

Those complaints remind me of douches that complain about people ruining the spirit of the game in baseball.

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. I mean I can get people being pissed about Yakupov's celebration last year, that was pretty over the top. But Kesler is just a straight up ignorant cunt for having the temerity to say that it doesn't belong in a regular game and that he'd be pissed if it was done against his team when his own fucking teammates have done virtually the exact same move in the past.

Thankfully I haven't heard of any Rangers bitching about it, given the fact that Malik was one of the first guys to pull it off in that marathon shootout years ago.

Yeah, I mean, rag on a dude all you want if he tries something flashy and misses, but if the goal goes in I can't really see what there is to bitch about.

I think McKenzie on tsn said it best...that move is now part of the skill set of players. It's been done so many times that it's no longer a hot dog move.

Every time you've called refs blind it's been out of anger. Finally you can point to some concrete, incontrovertible evidence.

Haha Thornton:

"Hearing a question to Marleau about Hertl and whether he was showboating, Thornton said: "Shut up, have you ever played the game?"

When the press turned his way, he then added: "I'd have my [penis] out if I scored four goals. I'd have my [penis] out, stroking it."

And that's why Thornton is the captain of an NHL team and we aren't. I can't think of any better way to respond to the ridiculous and, unfortunately, all-too-predictable outcry in the wake of Hertl's incredible fourth goal than Thornton's comments. Well, maybe if he had pulled out little Jumbo right there in the press scrum as a visual aid to parallel the self-righteous wankfest criticizing Hertl's move.
