please do, then smack some sense into him as well

I hope the Rags and Sabers knock each other (frank)ing stupid tonight

The Flyers clinch a playoff berth IF:

- The Buffalo Sabres LOSE in regulation to the NY Rangers AND the Winnipeg Jets LOSE to the Washington Capitals in any fashion.

- The Buffalo Sabres LOSE in regulation to the NY Rangers AND Winnipeg Jets WIN IN A SHOOTOUT over the Washington Capitals tonight.

Well then, GO RAGS!! GO JETS OR CAPS!!!!, I wanna have the Flyers clinch dammit

Their reasoning was that since the shootout is so important in the regular season and decides so much, it is stupid that it is not in the playoffs. He stated that when they are at a bar and all the games are on, when one goes to a shootout all the attention goes to that game and people cheer and get interested. Rhea The Idiot chimed in that it would be good for the casual fan blah blah blah.

They decided it should be one full overtime then the shootout.

Screw you Jonesy.

yeah, (frank) that noise

Overtime hockey is the only attention grabber the NHL has in general.

Even casual fans know the shootout is a gimmick.

The fact that Keith Jones of all people said that.

Wasn't he involved in the 5 overtime game against the Pens?

Yes, and he is proud to tell the story of how he jumped on the ice at one point, looked left, then right, then yelled, "Change!" and got back on the bench.

Al's covered the game for HOW long? Even Bill Clement has said that the shootout is the best way to decide a tie game.

Who are these people and what happened to hockey purists?!?

Phantoms up 1-0 about 5 minutes left in 1st. Akeson scored.

Gus and Bourdon paired together, Lauridson is HUGE.
Pens carrying the play.

I'm completely against the shootout in a playoff game. I think it would be a lousy way to decide a game. But I will say one thing. Based on being a STH for a few years. The overwhelming majority of fans, love the shootout. They all stand and there is definite excitement to it. For the regular Season, I think it's good for the game, because it's good for the fans.

please do, then smack some sense into him as well

Quicker to the buffet?

Guy behind me at baby pens, phantoms game is talking to the players like they can hear him.
"Get in there hit him" " "shoot the damn thing( no shooting lanes even close to possible)" " hit him " 5 seconds after phantoms guy passed the puck.

The "Hit somebody" while on the PK is possibly the thing that makes me most stabby. Stupid dolts.

EDIT: Pardon the redundancy.

If there is ever a shootout in the NHL playoffs, I will cease being a fan of the league.

I think that it's stupid to decide regular season games with the shootout. What other sport decides the outcome of games by not playing the (frank)ing game?

Greatest. Thing. Ever.

i find this interesting:

in the atlantic division there are 4 teams with 89 or more points, no other team in the east has over 87

in the central division 4 teams have 92 or more points, only other team in the west over 90 points in the canucks (97)

does the mean the cup finals will be between a team from the atlantic vs a team from the central?
