The Ice Hockey Thread

I love juniors! They used to be able to fight in the WHL years ago. Have you ever been to the Brandt centre Stu? You should go to a game there! There may be some Penguins property on that team, I don't know. You could scout for me.

**SkStu** · 06/05/2017, 4:04 PM

I've been to three games this season but tickets for the first two legs of the final sold out in minutes. Live games are great. I also am friendly with the family of Stuart Skinner - from Edmonton, plays for the Lethbridge Hurricanes - I am certain he will play NHL, insanely good goalkeeper.

By the way, re NHL I still refuse to watch regular season hockey. Play offs only. It's a different game.

**KrisLetang** · 06/05/2017, 4:42 PM

At first I assumed it was Stuart's looking out for each other but he does look like an elite prospect. He will def get drafted in 2 months.

What was going on with the Sens not selling out those first 2 games with the Rangers? Ticket prices? Apathy? If that ever happend in the second round with one of the medium size city US teams it would have been bonkers in the Canadian press. Move them to Quebec! Disappointed in Otts effort these last two games. I hate the Rangers. Expecting them to win today tho.

Was just reading the post game thread on the Oilers HF Board. They seem to be split 6 ways
1. Done with NHL, it's fixed the refs calls at the end were HORRIBLE.
2. If only we didn't trade Taylor Hall.
3.its the coaches fault.
4. Shut up all of you talking about Taylor Hall, HCTM, or the refs. It's our own fault.
5. Shock mixed with expectations of failure anyway due to last horrid 10 years.
6. NHL wants a Pens Ducks finals.

Made up for it tonight.

That first period was a thing of beauty.

Hopefully the Caps can do it tomorrow too.

Nashville - an ice hockey town!

**KrisLetang** · 08/05/2017, 3:11 PM

Good for the Preds. James Neal playing well. Mr. Carrie Underwood is the captain.

I'm nervous that the Penguins are out of gas. Really worried about tonight.

**BonnieShels** · 08/05/2017, 10:37 PM

I'm really hoping they are gassed. Love watching Washington and would love Barry and Ovi to get themselves a Cup if Ottawa or E-town don't do it.
Also, that Edmonton team are shaping up to be something like 99's Oilers. Gonna be fascinating when we come good in a couple of years and that rivalry sparks because Babcock is gonna get us purring.

Was delighted for PK that the Preds are through. Still can't make sense of that trade. Glad it's biting the Habs' in the ass.

Anyway, HON WASHINGTON!!!!!

**KrisLetang** · 09/05/2017, 12:38 AM

Dreadful stuff from Penguins in the first. Crosby head first into the boards. Im starting to feel sick.

**BonnieShels** · 09/05/2017, 12:52 AM

That was a smelly goal to concede. Classic Fleury.

**BonnieShels** · 09/05/2017, 1:49 AM

Crosby (the player) isn't with it tonight. He needs to be pulled.

**BonnieShels** · 09/05/2017, 1:58 AM

I was just coming in to comment on the crappy crowd that has remained in the PPG Arena tonight as the game wore on. It was 4-0.

It went 5 as I clicked in here. I'm gonna hit the hay now as a result. I think we can call it.

**Real ale Madrid** · 09/05/2017, 10:11 AM

Nashville sitting pretty now while 2 of the other 3 series' go to 7, with the Rangers hosting the Sens tonight in game 6 in The GAhden.

**BonnieShels** · 09/05/2017, 2:02 PM

That game 6 will stand to the Caps. They should realise now that they have the firepower to mill through anyone if they put their minds to it. The Pens are done. And it would be no bad thing for them to get out now and give Sid a rest.

I'm giddy about tonight it must be said.

**Real ale Madrid** · 09/05/2017, 10:03 PM

Just watching highlights - Crosby (the player) took some hit to the head off the wall - no wonder he was off form. Caps favs now.

Yeah. He (the player) was always going to be targeted. Shame on the Pens for thinking he was ready to return after a concussive injury. Moronic.

That being said there was definite cause to think the poster had similar concussive injuries.
