leaving in 5 minutes for game 1 of buffalo vs philly...front row behind the glass! Since I know you are all big hockey fans, I thought I\'d share this info.:fighting:
-
I hate the Devils :(
-
i lost interest in the games a season before the strikes and stuff, but i love the sport.
plus forsberg left the avalanche...cept theyre killing dallas so maybe i should start acting like i still follow them.
-
Lightning had it last night and then pissed it away in the third.
Put em on the glass bitch.
-
Fucking refs cost the Flyers that game. I have never seen so many bullshit calls, and so many lack of calls. It wasn\'t even funny. And Gauthier is a fucking moron for not covering the post, AND going for a hip check in double overtime when he should have been clearing the goddamn puck.
-
yeah, it wasn\'t the 58 shots on goal, vs the Flyers 32.... :rolleyes:
oh and "put em on the glass"!?!?!? here\'s today\'s paper: That\'s my brother in the white shirt, and that\'s me on the right pounding the glass.
-
game on, bitches!
-
let me clarify. My bro is in the wite t-shirt. I\'m next to the guy making the funny face with the dark shirt on. My arm is in front of my face. Goddamn, I\'m hung over.
-
I was going to say. you cut your hair.
-
Don\'t give me that shit that the refs cost the Flyers the game. The Flyers lost that game, the refs did NOT lose it for them.

I didn\'t catch that game until the overtime. That was rediculous. Double over time, the Fliers goalie was on fire and it slipped by.
-
The shots on goal were lopsided in favor of the Sabers on account of the Flyers being in power play for an ENTIRE PERIOD. 10 penalties on the flyers, and there was SOME bullshit penalties. I will agree though: for the first two periods, the flyers just weren\'t there, but they owned that game from the 3rd till Gauthier was a retard.

you are delusional.
oh yeah, 6-1 in the 2nd period....and if you even try to call it the ref\'s fault, I defy you to find any more than the 2 penalties called on the sabres. They\'re playing clean, controlled hockey, and the flyers have officially lost their shit.:fighting:
-
oh, and Forsberg may be "the greatest hockey player on the ice" right now, but he\'s being a bit of a primadonna bitch right now. 7-2 halfway through the 3rd.
BTW, do you get the Rick Jenneret PBP or something else?
-
8-2. See you in Philly. :D
-
I love that 5 minute major boarding call on Gauthier, and the 10 minute on Eager for a fucking interference call. Yeah, those refs are amazing. Other than that. The Flyers just sucked tonight.
-
if that wasn\'t an intentional dirty hit from behind, then I don\'t know what is...and Eager was obviously sent out to"draw" a penalty...something he\'s not skilled enough to do yet without playing dirty.
-
The 10 minute was borderline, I think I understand their intent though. The 5 minute was deserved.
-
I still hate the Devils.
-
Oh yeah. What a game tonight. Even the games couldn\'t keep an overmatched Tampa Bay in it. I think that *if* the Sens can keep this level of energy up for the rest of the series, it will end in 5. Go Sens Go!
-
Fliers won tonight here in Philly :)
-
Tampa has no shot in hell this year. It was nice they were able to take 1, but they were just lucky to get into the playoffs.
-
They won the cup last year because of their goaltender, who they prompty traded. They gave up their chances at a repeat with that decision, and as good as they are, they are just totally outmatched for round one.
-
Tampa held the cup for two years. That\'s enough. We\'ll let someone else have it now.
-
So the Red Wings are down 2-1 to Edmonton. And I haven\'t been able to watch a bit of it.
It\'s nice being in a state that doesn\'t give two shits about Hockey. Blech.
-
Philly\'s multiple hockey superstars finally woke up, Friday should be a fun game to watch.
-
I\'d like to see one of the Fliers games. I\'m quite literally down the street from Philly at my college. One of my roomies is a Fliers fan. Getting tickets must be a bitch though.
-
What a game tonight by the Sens. 5-2 over Tampa, and coming back to Ottawa with a chance to end the series. Both Tampa goals were iffy, but even ignoring that, the goal they overturned by Spezza in the third was a terrible call, clearly put the puck in before he even touched the goalie, and only hit the goalie because of the trip. Can\'t complain much with a great \'W\' like that though. Go Sens Go!
-
Fuck the Sabres and their horrible Penalty shot call.
-
Ohhhh yeah! Ottawa in 5 baby! Great series... and now we get a decent rest before round two.
-
I haven\'t seen any of the games between the Fliers or Sabres this weekend. What were the standings?
-
i forgot how awesome hockey is. Ended up rooting and cheering when the avalanche won the game. Was pretty nuts since dallas was getting a bunch of shots off in OT (9 or 10) while colorado only had 2 er 3. But, leave it to sakic to give the avalanche a chance to score.
Still know a few people on the team..hejduk, sakic, tanguey..i miss roy and forsberg though,lol.
-
Sabres 3-0....oh, what was that about a penalty shot, emo boy?
your washed out "superstars" cannot contend with the speed, agility and youth of the Buffalo Sabres.
-

Were you talking to me?
-
Fucking emo boy haha. :lmao:
-
think he was talking to the one who said "fuck the sabers" and actually talked about a penalty shot.
-
I just assumed someone with a faggoty name like "faithdies" is an emo douche. One time we played with an early "emo" band called "as summer dies", and after they played, we came out and introduced ourselves as "sometimes I cry"...
oh, and 20 lashings for rooting the Flyers, slave ;)
-
I am in no way shape or form, emo. My name isn\'t "hopedies", or "Icry", or "I\'mAFuckingPussy". The Refs hate Philly. It\'s ok. I expect them to win at home, then lose in the 7th game in Buffalo.
-
:fighting:
Just messin with ya kid....:thumb:
-
oh, and 20 lashings for rooting the Flyers, slave ;)
Only rooting for the better ;) Besides, I\'m by Philly. I\'m not gonna root for a team in some god forsaken city in New York :p
-
the better?
:D:D:D:D
I wish they wouldn\'t have crumbled. I like a close game.
-
Philly > Buffalo. Not even athletically speaking :p
-
Sore loser. :p
-
Sore loser. :p
I haven\'t even seen the games. I didn\'t know the schedule nor cared all that much. I\'m just saying Philly is a better city than Buffalo, who named their city after a big smelly animal who\'s meat tastes good in burger form :p
-
Just got back from the game. I got on TV a couple times and was on the radio on stage trying to win some seat upgrades from the local sports callers. Entertaining game, certainly, but I don\'t think I can call it good from a sens fan point of view. I hate it when you lead a game for 57.5 minutes of the game and still lose, and the \'mistakes\' come at the worst possible moments. Neither goalie looked especially sharp tonight, and both Ottawa and Buffalo better work on their \'errors\' by next game, because while I\'m sure both are happy with offence, both want to be letting in a lot less than 6-7. Some of the calls were pretty off this game, but nothing too unexpected, can\'t believe we didn\'t get a call when the Buffalo D grabbed the puck in the crease, but meh. Onwards and upwards, I\'ll be at game 2!
-
Who are the senators playing now? The Devils, right?
-
Buffalo. I\'m sticking to my prediction of Ottawa in 6 this round, Ottawa in 5 or 7 next round (depending on who advances), and then The cup in 5 (the west is weak with the top four out).
But hey, that\'s just me, eternal optimist!
-
I was at a bar watching the game, so I didn\'t get to really watch it. Nice of the sabres to let the puck drop before winning it in OT....;)
My prediction: I will drink beer & watch playoff hockey.
-
That\'s more of a resolution than a prediction... and I also resolve to do the same :beer:
-
LET\'S GO NORDIQUES YE

I gotta find a place to drink and watch the game. I\'m no longer on at school so I can\'t do that :(
-
well, maybe if you lived in a shitty place like Buffalo, you would be drunk right now. Last call is 4 AM, slave. Oh, and there are around ten colleges here, so the bars are full of drunk hotties. I heard Philly\'s a ghost town after 11 pm.

Motherf****r. I went to tonights game. Lets see:
Outplay opponents offense. Check.
Outplay opponents defense. Check.
Outplay opponents goalie. Check.
Win game. Nope.
Oh well. I have mixed feelings. If Ottawa plays exactly this way for the rest of the series, they can win the series no problem, no way Buffalo will win more games like this. The one improvement? Go down on the 2 on 1s!!!! If the D takes away either the pass or the shot, Emery makes that save!
Ok, mixed feelings, we lost, but I might be in tomorow\'s paper (photos taken of the paintjob), and I won \'fan of the game\', and a $300 4GB IPod Nano black. Pics:

*edit*
Upon reading that, I don\'t mean Emery outplayed Miller, cause he played a great game, but Miller was beaten by the sens lots of times. There were at least 2 if not 3 off the post shots in that one, and it was killing me all game. My new nano is nice though, even if I would never have bought a nano otherwise.
-
I believe the amount of goals scored wins the game, not "outplaying" the other team. See you in Buffalo!
:fighting:
:D
-
Like in first grade, its the effort that counts :D
-
this just in: Got the same first row tickets for tomorrow nite\'s game! I\'ll bring a decent camera this time.

this is all my celly could manage:
-
Aaaarrrrgh! Ok, we really have to win tomorow, I think that if they could have won tonight (tonight was the first game they DIDN\'T deserve to lose), they would have been nice and loose for next game. As it is, they have to suck it up, and play a fast and offensive game for tomorow, lets stay in the series with a W tomorow Sens! Go Sens Go!
I guess my prediction moves from Sens in 6 to Sens in 7.
-
no good camera, went rite after work...

-
whoops, duno why I can\'t up load...
-
Great game boys. The second period had me a little worried, but the sens fought through it, and just ouplayed Buffalo in the third. I think after we take the next game (hopefully decisively) it will break buffalo\'s confidence, and game 6 and 7 will go much easier.
-
buff deserved to lose fo sho.......
saturday nite fever, bitches!
-
VICTORY!
early on, it looked touchy, especially since Chara seemed immune to any kind of interference or cross checking calls...
:fighting:
suck it up, buddy. :D
-
BOOOOOOOOOOOO!
/me weeps :(
-
I can\'t tell if your stars were not showing up, or if they just couldn\'t solve the Sabres defense. Heatley (or Summer Wheatley, as he is known in B-lo :D) held to zero points for the series, and your boy Alfie was a virtual no-show. One goal?!?!? Wow... too bad. Exciting games, tho. I kinda thought there would be more scoring on ottawa\'s behalf. (After all, I had front row seats to the game where you guys ran all over us 10-4)
-
I am still pissed the Thrashers missed the playoffs. :rofl:
Guess I will be watching the Stars next season...
-
Oilers All The Way Baby Yeah!
-
wow..my sabres smacked the shit and piss out of carolina...wheeeee!!!!!!
cup time!
I\'d love an oilers-sabres stanley cup series...
-
I\'d like the Sabres get their asses kicked......*runs from chizzy*
At this point, I really could care less actually. My teams are all out...well the Fliers were who I was rooting for and they got beaten by Buffalo. I\'ll see who\'s in the Cup before I decide who I\'m gonna root for.
-
Philly > Buffalo. Not even athletically speaking :p
Philly is a bigger shit hole then Buffalo could try to be.
Buffalo is the cream of the New NHL crop. There young, extremely balanced, and can outskate any team, and nobody in the league executes the odd man rush as good as the Sabres, and nobody is as dangerous short handed as we are.
If you\'re not on the Sabres bandwagon then your missing out on the team that is and will define the NHL for the years to come. Buffalo is the new NHL
CHIZZY
Sorry I was late joining this thread, I didn\'t see it being all stcuk to the top. I\'m lovin what I\'ve been seeing. The Sabres are clearly better then the 1999 version, and IMO are poised for a long successful run after this season regardless of outcome.
-
D\'OH!!!
4-3 loss.......no biggie, now they come home for a couple... Kyoko scored her parent\'s box seats for friday nite\'s game. (at 6 1/2 months preggo, that\'s the only way she can see a game. She\'s gotta pee every 5 minutes, and the box has it\'s own bathroom.) She\'s taking my bro\'s chickie.
-
So Chizz, you got the house to yourself that night? :jb:
-
Buffalo looked totally outclassed tonight. Carolina played the game they had to.
-
Tonights Edmonton game was crazy. 1 Goal in the first, then 8 more in the third! What a game! Looks like a Canadian team is going to go through to the finals, just gotta win one more! Refs should have either let them fight or clamped down way harder in the first, because this half-way effort to calm them down just made the fights last longer.
-
mid 2nd period.... sabres 4-1 wowowowoowow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
The Sabres are pissing me off. They play a period of Hockey that completely destroys Carolina, then 2 subpar periods to round off the game.
We\'re hurting big time on Defense to with another injury.
-
we really are missing teppo numminen & timmy connolly....if maxim afenigenov could have scored on his chances, it would have helped his confidence...
-
Afinogenov reminds me alot of Chritian Rutuu. All the ability to get open and skate around defenders with little finshing ability.
The Sabres themselves have to learn to finish. Since the Fkyers series they haven\'t been convincing finishers.
Carolina looks like the better team out there and they have the Sabres working twice as hard for their opportunities IMO.
It ain\'t over till the chubby lady solos though
-
Buffalo. I\'m sticking to my prediction of Ottawa in 6 this round, Ottawa in 5 or 7 next round (depending on who advances), and then The cup in 5 (the west is weak with the top four out).
But hey, that\'s just me, eternal optimist!
That didn\'t work out to well now did it !
-
Shadup. At least theres a Canadian team in the final. I\'m hoping for Edmonton-Carolina, cause I don\'t think Edmonton can beat Buffalo. Go Oil!
-
woohooo!!!!!!!still in it.....sorry, been ignoring da boards, as I\'m working 60 hours a week, renovating my just purchased house, and sweating my balls off... it was 95 here today. it was 45 two weeks ago. I even turned down the front row tix for tonight\'s game so I could tear out carpet on the second floor.
-
Probably a good idea.... wasn\'t a very good game. Boy was that ice bad (humidity) by the third period.
-
Shadup. At least theres a Canadian team in the final. I\'m hoping for Edmonton-Carolina, cause I don\'t think Edmonton can beat Buffalo. Go Oil!
We\'re hurtin on D. One of our top D men is playing but only logging 10 minutes of ice time becuase of injury. 2 other D men are prety much out for the year now. We\'ve called up 3 AHL D men that are playing admirably, but there defintiely a drop off in experience.
I personally think Edmonton would be better off getting Buffalo, and I believe Carolina has played a more solid series the Buffalo.
If Buffalo goes to the Cup it will be my 7th trip to the dance in my lifetime. 4 with the Bills and 3 with the Sabres, right now I\'m 0-6
-
edmonton vs carolina? iv definitly been out of the hockey loop
-
Sabres had 4 injured D men for game 7. if we had a healthy team Carolina wouldn\'t have made it past game 6, and Edmonton wouldn\'t have had a chance.
But once again Buffalo is cursed. its amazing how much goes wrong for Buffalonian sports fans.
Well from what I understand the Sabres are moving back to the Blue and Gold in 2006 and that alone makes me happy.
-
Motherf****er!
(note: drunken reply to follow):
Okay, the fucking oiler\'s owned the first, won the second, and then just fucked up the third. I mean, I know it\'s Carolina\'s best fuckin\' period but really, that\'s bullshit! Man I bet the Edmonton D that nailed his own goalie in the double-hit is kicking himslef now, without Roloson, the Oil is fucked. I sure hope they can come back and win game two, they should steal one for sure.
*exceuse bad typing, possible incoherence. I\'ve had.... some.... to drink.
-
Carolina is a strong 3rd period team.
the fact the Oilers had like 9 days rest IMO is the only reason they had a solid advantage in the 1st 2 periods. Carolina\'s skill and tenacity took over after they regained their composure.
I expect a different gam emore lopsided for Carolina tonight, especially since Roloson\'s out.
that being dsaid I can\'t think of a team less deservng of a cup victory then Carolina. They couldn\'t even sell out there 1st Stanley Cup game until game time.
In Edmonton and Buffalo Stanley Cup playoff tickets dissappear within minutes. Carolina fans have a weak heart, and did a lot of whining when Buffalo played them.
I predict Carolina will easily win this series, but IMO thats a negative thing.
-
OLN averaged 611,000 households for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Monday. That\'s fewer households than ESPN2 drew for an Arizona-Northwestern college women\'s softball game Monday night. It is 39% fewer households than ESPN drew for the Stanley Cup series opener two years ago.
-
So vid....is that bad?
-
heh.. Um.. Yeah.. That\'s pretty freaking bad.
That gives it about a .3 rating..
You could probably broadcast color bars and get more viewers.
Even my car show has over a million viewers.
-
what\'s weird is that i like to watch hockey, but i always forget what channel OLN is or that it even exists..or what time/day the game(s) are on. They need better publicizing.
-
it should do much better in ratings with games 3 and 4 on CBS
hell, i didn\'t even know what OLN was untill i found out INHD was showing the game in HD.
-
OLN = channel 608 on DirecTV
channel 95 on DirecTV is usually the OLN high def signal.
-
well, I guess if the two teams in the finals are a nascar town and a yukon outpost, then you\'re gonna get bad ratings. There\'s just not enough black men playing hockey. Once we have some T.O. -type antics then the lowest common denominator will watch it.
And I won\'t.
-
One of the suggestions for improving hockey\'s ratings would be to start the seaosn in Sept and end it Feburary, leaving March and April for the Stanley Cup playoffs.
The NHL is not going to be competing againdst the NBA and win in the rating dept, and nobdoy feels like its hockey season in May or June.
I think more people would take aninterest in hockey if the playoffs had their own stage during a time of year that feels a little more like hockey season.
-
I don\'t get OLN. I have basic cable :( Next year I\'m going all out on cable though :)
-
Edmonton is making this an interesting series.
Looks like injuries are working against Carolina now.
As much as I don\'t want ot see Edmonton win yet another cup. I despise Carolina and their unworthy fans.
-
What a great game seven... I\'m just dissapointed the Oilers only came out to play in the second half of the game. They tightened up a lot after that first Carolina goal. I almost drove over to watch the game (being in Tenessee for Bonaroo), but I\'m glad I didn\'t with an Oilers loss. Congrats to Carolina, and I\'m glad that Ward won the Conn Smythe trophy.. he really deserved it.
-
So....when is the stanley cup being played?
-
A joke, or do you really have no clue?
