Shelley was ready to fight up in the press box...he was yelling down towards the ice...don't think he knew that nobody could hear him though.

they need to stop drinking from that well. it's not a recipe for success.

It's good to know that they will fight back, but yeah, wells can go dry

At this point, I just add it to the heap of head scratchers. Laviolette haas done a great job overall. I question some of his decisions, but more often than not, he's managed to get the wins, so I can really complain
- Jsaquella

I wonder if Lavi is going to be suspended.

Laviolette: "They hadn't used those guys in 12 minutes. It was a completely gutless move by their coach."

Yeah, he was pissed about the guys on the ice for the Pens
- Jsaquella

no doubt.

Missed the Grossmann injury. How bad did it look?
- 77rams

knee on knee, it had the look of torn ligaments for sure

I wouldn't be surprised if they say he is done for the year

Pure speculation on my part, but it looked awful

Yeah. I agree with you. Can't have issue with the results. The networks are salivating over this first round series. What happened today, just adds to the allure of the first round series.

In Laviolette's defense, the Pens did have last change. And as Laviolette said, those guys hadn't seen the ice for awhile, so he probably didn't think they'd be out there late.

That said...you're going to be meeting this team again, got to think there's a message to be sent.

how does comcast not have a webcast for a postgame against the pens? seriously terrible programming. the technology is there, folks.

Where did you see this?

Just be worried that sooner or later one will give you a seizure.

that would really suck if he was done for the year. He's played really well. Laviolette said they didn't think it was serious when he was asked by Pierre, who knows if that's just lip service.

i didn't think it looked that bad. pray i'm right. grossmann has been a beast. and if they lose him, it's just not fair. pronger. meszaros. timonen. kubina. lilja. grossmann. all have been injured this season. some longer than others.

That's not the good kind.

Well, entertaining game, huge win, hope Grossmann is OK

Maybe he just had a bad bruise, we can hope.
He seems pretty vital in a long series against Pitt.

But the contact was on direct to the medial knee, it had torn collateral ligament and maybe acl based on the mechanism on injury

he was screaming on the ice after the hit.
hope it was just a bruise
probably he gets the mri tomorrow and then we'll hear... or not

Since he's been here, I think he's been their best d-man. Can't afford him being out for the playoffs.

i'm just going to assume it's a terrible, season-ending injury, because that's what happens to us, and if i'm wrong, i'll be very pleasantly surprised.

Lava's acting a bit naive, don't you think? One of his players drills Crosby from behind in what was already a chippy game, right in front of the Penguins bench. The outcome of the game is no longer in doubt, and Bylsma deploys his 4th liners. Anyone who has been watching hockey for a reasonable amount of time had to know what was coming. Its happened in countless NHL games over the years, and the Flyers have been the traditional kings what was to come. This was message sending time, and the message is, if you hit one of our skill guys, we'll get one of yours, and Vitale delivered the message via a clean hit on Briere. Everything else that happened after that was just the usual window dressing after a big hit.

Its going to be a fun April around here.

It's every year. Just don't get it.

What's the Rangers current injured list?

In all seriousness, I hope Grossman is OK. He was a nice pickup for you guys.
