As I stated ... you could have an opinion on this regarding suspension if that thug of yours Staal got what he deserved last year. You are whining like every nome Ranger fan to the point that you look like idiots. Again, your fan base said Staal's actions "it's hockey", but yet when something happens to one of your's it demands a suspension?

Are you kidding me!!? Totally a hockey play, your right, its my opinion....the right one. As far as Staal..I agree, but it happened yrs. ago. geez, just admit it was bad, and you like us w/ staal, yrs ago, gotta away w/ one

I'm becoming more and more of a fan of Guentzel. The kid is really starting to look like the real deal. He's going to be fun to watch develop.

The WBS guy on DK reported this week that Prow is struggling to adjust.

You no what uncalled for. Your starting to sound like your road rage / Bruce lee buddy who trolled his own fans and got banned. Whatever good luck tom but you probably don't think you need it.

Read up the page a bit where I said I was wrong. I'm not trolling anyone, I just hadn't seem this replay of it. Once I did, I admitted I was wrong and changed my opinion after considering the new facts I had on hand.

I guess doing that on the internet does make me a fool though. I think the correct thing to do would have been to hold my ground and fake it from there.

This will go on forever. That's what hockey fans do. Someone brought up Graves before lol.

What fun is it if we put this behind us and agree on things? Rangers suck, Pens rule, Staal is the devil and Letang is innocent. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

HAHA. What about ULF hitting Domi!

How is Prow and Blueger doing?
- madmike71

Prow is a scratch, I tend to think he's going to take a while. Blueger is blending in but actually playing. Nothing stands out about him yet which isn't a bad thing. It's hard for a junior or college player whose not used to playing a long season to get thrown into a pro playoff race like these guys do. So the fact that Guentzel Blueger and Desmith are playing says alot.

Well we don't need him for a couple of years. He's got time.

I remember Domi getting suspended for decking him lol

Coward team?

How stupid of them to sit out their best players before the playoffs whwn their number one defenseman and starting goaltender was already injured. How many points did Crosby and Letang get the last couple games of the season? Give me a (frank)ing break. You think your team is so much better than they actually are.

Good enough for you pack of cowards to throw 2 games to not play us.

And I never said staals hit wasn't suspend able it was and there was also intent. Funny nobody mentioned yandles cross checks on Malkin that was vicious he could very well been suspended. The refs are letting too much go and the longer they do the worse it will get.

Doesn't matter if it happened a year ago or not. It was bad ... should have been a penalty. Then again, its not like it cost you the game like many fools are saying. Letang got away with one, like Staal. So ..

You clowns were all about Staal's play last year being "eh, it's hockey", so ...

And most of us (NHL fans) agree that things are too loosey goosey. But instead of getting up in arms with the way the league is run, we argue with each other about whose players are worse, and which actions are worse.

And ultimately, 9.5 times out of 10, the home crowd witnessing a questionable hit cheers like madmen when it happens. We want our guys to destroy your guys. You want your guys to destroy our guys.

Fans also love this stuff, at least subconsciously. The arguing. The trolling. The false equivalencies. The hypocrisy. We eat it up, because we're conditioned to be entertained by drama. I mean, if I don't stay up for the late games and shenanigans happen, I search out the video and watch it. Can't say I've sought out a game winning goal.

You lose ...

In the last four games prior to sitting out the season finale -

Crosby 4 goals and an assist
Letang - 6 assists

So, they played.

You deserve no break. Your team intentionally tanked the final few games to get a more favorable matchup. Everyone knows this.

Well let's hope the next time 1 of your colleagues brings up Sid 'whining' or 'crying' you tell them that it happened years ago & to let it go - stop!

The biggest 'whiner' on the ice these days is Lundqvist, & the biggest off it is AV!

In other news, the comment section in Tanner's blog is a disgrace

I'm not even sure if Letang high stick should be a penalty. I mean in my opinion it should either be no penalty or a suspended offense. I guess if all accidental high sticks are a penalty then Letangs should be a penalty. I'm just not sure if it was entirely Moore's hit that caused the high stick or if Letang could have done anything to prevent his stick going up. I mean if a bigger guy grabs your stick and lifts it up is that a penalty.

All I know is Letang said he was sorry and claims it was an accident. It seemed to work for Simmonds......so let's just put this behind us now.

He actually looked back at Stalberg so is that an admission of guilt (although most 'accidental hits, the offenders don't look back), or legitimate concern as in "poop, I just got him", which of course he didn't mean to do.

Or, his mean streak came out at that instant & said (frank) you Rags Richardsucker, cop this - aaaahhhhgggggrrrrrr!!

What is taking the league so long to call when Game 5's time is going to be? I'm going to that game in Pittsburgh, and would love to know when I have to freaking be there. Why do they continue to do the whole TBD thing? The game has to happen, announce the freaking time already!

I have always wanted to travel to Australia. Really think it would be a fun time exploring the different areas. But the way you folks talk down there would get me in a lot of trouble, I would break out in laughter with some of the poop you say.....and then promptly have a massive knife slammed into my spleen. Can't help it!

Man.... Just watching the end of this Caps/Flyers game and the Flyers are hanging on for dear life. I never thought I'd root this much for Philly, but I sure want that series extended.

The Orange and black goon squad survived to maim another day.
