| There's "wtf"s on both sides. And I mean that both pointing my finger accusingly at the Penguins, and at the Flyers as well....
But...it'd have to be the Pens in 7 at this point. :p |

| Yeah. We need yo pull our heads out of our asses and stop handing the Puck away.
And Asham... fucking idiot. If he isn't suspended I will be shocked. |

| Looks like rectal extraction was successful.
You can imagine how big my grin was during the game. |

| Oh, I thought of your grin the entire time, no worries. :p
Pens woke up, and the Flyers didn't expect that. Now Bryz is "hurt" and Fleury finally realized the Pens might not have gone back home honorably. :p All I know is, Flyers better take this series, and most likely the next, because if we're still in around my birthday, my boss is hooking me up with tickets. :p Oh, and the Flyers should NEVER play like they did on Wednesday ever again. It was embarrassing. The fighting and theatrics are great when they're actually playing hockey as well. But if the game is shit, they just look dumb acting like they did. Rinaldo got what he deserved. (Now that I'm sober. Being drunk and angry made his actions look better. :p ) |

| I am still pissed that he didn't at least get a one game suspension for that. His conduct was unforgivable, and in light of the other suspensions around the league.... but of course, that would require Shannahan not being a fucking moron. | |||

| Pretty much.
Hopefully tonight is better. And to clarify about the theatrics remark, cuz I said that to someone earlier and they took it the wrong way. I don't mean as long as they're "winning." You can still play a good game and lose the shit out of it. And THAT'S when the theatrics are great. Like Hartnell doing that Hulk Hogan thing to the Hogan look-a-like? That shit was hilarious. I want them to be done with the suspensions though. There's going to be fights. It's an extreme contact sport, and compile that with some general bad attitudes, and a need to prove oneself, and hockey is going to be full of that shit. But Rinaldo straight up followed the guy, and intentionally buttraped him on the ice. Even if he had hit Rinaldo REALLY hard right before Rinaldo did that, it'd STILL feel like the line was crossed. Although, I hate to say it, but Crosby needs to stop getting into a fight and backing up until the ref steps in and THEN throwing a punch. I hate that shit. Hartnell shoulda kicked his ass that one game. And it's not a Penguins thing either. Crosby pisses me off because he's the fucking second coming of christ when it comes to actually PLAYING the sport. His attitude is just terrible. He really is a crybaby, and he plays dirty. It doesn't get called often, but he does. It's not that he's the only one, but he's one of the few who's skill level transcends that bullshit entirely. Like, if Crosby ONLY got on the ice and played, he'd still be one of the most entertaining players. And that's my ACTUAL reason for my bad feelings toward Crosby. Man...hockey was my LIFE...and even though I got hurt, I would have NEVER had a shot at the pros, and I wanted it. Badly. People who waste their talents like that get me all sorts of riled up. If they suck, I don't care though. Like Asham. When he played for us, I couldn't stand him, but he's a terrible player to boot, so he HAS to do SOMEthing to keep getting attention so he can keep getting paid. /rant |

| The Hulk Hogan thing wasn't really that funny to us since we actually know about the guy... they did a little vignette on him during the regular season. The guy has been at every single game for years, and his fandom helped him beat cancer. The Hulk stuff is, because, well, he knows he looks like him so it makes him stand out. So, when we saw it, we saw Hartnell heckling a cancer survivor, and it was crass.
I think Crosby is going through this phase of "I want to make them stfu about the crybaby shit, but I do not want to get injured again." Because you can just imagine, being hurt yourself, how insane it must have made him to be out the majority of the season. And you really don't want to go out during the playoffs. If it makes you feel better, the guy is totally awesome off the ice. One of my classmates was walking down the street in Pittsburgh to go to a bar and he was wearing Crosby's junior league jersey. This SUV pulls up with dark tinted windows and the guy was like "Oh shit, I'm gonna die" because they were that dark of a tint. Window rolled down and it was Sid. The exchange went as follows: Crosby: Hey, I like your jersey. Where in the world did you find it? Classmate (Steve): *blink blink* Thanks... I got it online. Crosby: *chuckle* Man, I have never seen someone with that jersey yet. Hey, you got a pen? Steve: No man, I don't. Crosby: Wait, hold on... *dives around in car, comes up with a sharpie* He then got out of the car and signed the guy's jersey on the spot. Didn't have to ask or anything. Wished Steve a good day and took off. So... you played in goal right? What do you think of the performance of the goalies in this series, since we've seen all four in action at least once. I thought that Fleury was fricking brilliant last night! |

| Most of them are pretty cool off the ice. WHen you have a job that gives you attention, I've always saw a person as having two different identities, only because, it always seemed to be most fair. I've figured out that WAY too many people have pissed me off doing what they do best, BUT, personally, they're fantastically wonderful people. So, ON the ice Crosby is a little bitch, but that's not his entire identity.
Hartnell for example. I couldn't stand him when he first started. I thought he was a shitty player and was WAY too aggressive for the "lack of skill." Then I went to a "Meet the Flyers" thing, and as he was signing my jersey, I looked up at him and said "thank you!" and he stopped dead (I'll have to bring the pic over here, because the pic was taken JUST at this moment) and was like "You're the first person to be sincerely grateful I've seen this entire evening." and I was like "Really?" and we talked about hockey a little bit, and how crushed I was to have to stop playing, but it was inevitable anyway, so at least I went out like a boss. Before I left that night, someone pulls me aside and gives me free tickets to one of the upcoming games at the time, from Hartnell. So...I've been enamored ever since. And he gave me a bit of a talk that made me feel a little better about not playing anymore, so that was a plus too. The Hogan thing, I knew. And it's totally badass that he's survived cancer. We know that here too, honest. It's almost like a show of affection to be heckled a bit. It's like that perpetual state of when that boy in the second grade likes you, he sticks spiders in your hair or something else that pisses you off. I have't been around anyone yet that didn't absolutely LOVE the Hogan look-alike. The goalie situation? I would get lynched around here if I said this in public, but I absolutely love Fleury. Thomas from the Bruins too. I'm a bit disappointed that his year wasn't as fantastic as other years for him. And Marty Brodeur? His days are numbered, but HIS career was fucking phenomenal! Hextall though...I modeled my entire hockey life after that guy. <333 Needless to say, I'm quite a fan of the goalies from most of the major teams in the NHL. As for Crosby, it's not so much the "not wanting to get hurt" that bothers me. That's called being smart. Even I acknowledge that. It's the dirty hits, the pussy fights, and the dives. I HATE that it's cliche to accuse a Penguin of a dive, but they actually DO do it. I can totally understand him not wanting to get hurt. More now than ever, but if you're going to be THAT scared then don't act like a tough guy. When I got hurt it was ultimately all about that. Some asshole essentially made sure he took out my knees for good when he slammed into me. And it ALL started from me acting WAY too immaturely and like a big bully, to be perfectly honest. So, sometimes acting tough catches up to you. But he needs to either stay out of the issues, or follow through. Wow this shit is long. :p Btw, hooray for the most cordial heckling EVER. Lmao. I DID pick my fight with a stranger afterward though. Never learned my lesson apparently. XD |

| Well, there really wasn't all that much to heckle really.
And watching so many games, I can safely say that all teams dive, not just the Pens (and we do). Mike (cityondown) apparently had no idea about Hogan-guy. All those memes going around on the internet started getting on my nerves, and he kept posting them. Interesting conversation. Thomas... I like his talent, but I increasingly dislike him overall. First there was those asshole hits that he makes on players now and then, and then there was snubbing the White House invite when they won the cup last year. I mean, honestly... your team is being honored by the President, just like every team before you. I am sure the liberal leaning players didn't like Bush, but if their team won, they went. Not going just shows he's a selfish asshole. Also, not saying Thomas is racist... but well, I bet you he wouldn't have snubbed Clinton or Gore. |

| !!!!! I completely forgot all about that thing with Thomas! I was PISSED when that shit went down though. But what you did just there (I see it) was how most people do NOT think, and I sincerely wish they do. You called him "The President" and referred to him as such as well. I'm pretty sure you a supporter of this President, but still, I recall you referring to Bush the same. Without getting too political here, I'll just say that the office should be respected at all times. Might not have to respect the man in the chair, but the OFFICE...and what Thomas did was stupid. Kids look up to these guys....
But like I said before, I separate PEOPLE from their careers whenever possible. And this year has been one of Thomas' worst years that I could think of by far. But I'm watching their game now, and damn... With the Hogan guy, I probably shouldn't have said "EVERYONE". It only FEELS like it's everyone. It's not like it was on the news here about Hogan guy, but I could walk out my door and my neighbor, knowing me my entire life, knowing that I love wrestling and idolized Hogan as a kid, was jabbing me about it, but always ended the discussion with "But the guy's a cancer survivor, didn't you hear?" and we have 30-40 families per block, pretty much, in the neighborhood I'm from, so I keep forgetting that it's not the same EVERYWHERE...so most I'm surrounded by knew at least. :p |

| Ah, okay, I get you. And yeah, Thomas has kinda sucked this season. I actually found myself rooting for the Caps yesterday and I think you know my opinion on them (well, on Ovechkin at least).
Kings won *happy dance* I think, as much as I dislike the Capitals, it would be good if they took Boston out and if Phoenix takes out Chicago because that way all that are left haven't won the cup in a while (or ever) and that should make the playoffs more entertaining. I'm also really hoping Ottawa takes out the Rangers because I do not like their team... and, ya know, it'd be nice to have one Canadian team in the running. |

| Ditto.
Everything you just said. Ditto. Thomas may have been able to impress me, but I can't STAND Boston and Chicago. Again. Ditto. |

And Boston lost. WOOT! |

| I am kinda annoyed that the Rangers won. I'm okay with the Devils winning, but I had picked Florida, so damn.
Anywho, Round 2 (and my votes): Kings vs Blues (I vote Kings in 6) Coyotes vs Predators (Coyotes in 7) Flyers vs Devils (Devils in 7... sorry Katana) Rangers vs Capitals (Rangers in 7, ick.) |

| I'm not gonna lie, I didn't wanna play the Devils. Strange things have happened. But still...I'm going to have an aneurysm until this round is over.
And I'm annoyed about the Rangers, but sadly, not surprised. But Boston?! I'm STILL gloating over that. I've seriously gloated over THAT loss more than I have over the Flyers' win, and that's saying A LOT. |

Also, omg I hate having to watch this on NBC... they are such MORONS!!! |

| I can't STAND those NBC jack-offs. And I LOVE Brodeur. When we're not playing them, I'm all about watching him and getting all excited at his awesomefucktastic saves.
But uh...still happier about the outcome. I just hope that no one jumps on the whole "Briere kicked the puck in the net." It was an accident. Briere should be a marksman. If he weren't a hockey player, he would be a FANTASTIC marksman. He doesn't need to kick a puck into the net to be "good" and of all the players we have, he'd be the least likely to pull a stunt like that on purpose. On the replay, even he hesitated like "Uh...I'm not sure if that's going to count..."So were the rest of the Flyers actually. **shrugs** Game was kinda boring in comparison the Pens series. And they were the favorite not just for the series, but for the Cup, so....yeah. Crazy shit happens. Hence why I'm not going to get cocky about the Cup from here on out. Shit's getting real, and Jersey makes me nervous. :p |

| Tee hee hee hee!
And Kings are poised to sweep again! Let's hope they succeed this time, since I don't really like the Blues at all. And with Phoenix a game away from taking out Nashville... awesomeness! |
