i hate both teams. a lot. all i'd care about are the injuries, not who advances. either way, if the flyers got through and had the chance to play them, i'd be thrilled.
- hammarby31

Yeah. I don't really root for other players to get hurt, I just shake my head when the Rangers pretty much go through an entire season unscathed from serious injury to their key players.

wouldn't bother me a bit. his knee on knee with grossmann was intentional. live by the sword, die by whatever means comes to you, i don't give a (frank). scott stevens getting a puck to the side of the head and retiring because of a concussion was great. (frank) you, stevens.

I only saw the replay a few times...you think the knee on knee was intentional?

i'm not actively rooting for it either, but if it happens, i'm not bothered by it, and i don't feel badly for them. sauer, eminger, and zuccarello (however the (frank) you spell it)...my how did they survive?

Right, I'd love some of that luck.

Agreed. A slapshot could have literally killed him. No blood, he'll probably just have a nice headache for a day or two.

Or some facial fractures is a possibility. Getting hit with frozen rubber traveling 80mph or so, can easily shatter a persons face.

yep. i don't think it was malicious, like he was trying to end his career, but he stuck his leg out. that's not an accident.

They had a serious injury to Staal that was about it. And his own brother did that. The fact a pretzel like Gaborik has a 40 goal season and plays every game is some serious bullpoop.

Was very irresponsible. Can't do that. The hit on Briere, I blame Laviolette. No way should Briere be on the ice in that situation. If I was a member of the media I would have flat out asked Laviolette what is Briere doing on the ice?

The replay I saw I couldn't really tell that, but it wasn't a great angle. If that's the case, that's some serious poop.

why don't you use your police skills to take him down

Nothing I can do about it. Except watch it, and be sickened.

Don't worry too much about it. I'd like to see a better angle, but at this point it is what it is. I just hope the timetable for Grossmann turns out to be only 7-10 days...

i hope so too. home ice. road ice. doesn't really matter to me. flyers are better on the road, and have shown the ability to win in pittsburgh. i like their chances either way. without grossmann, those chances take a big hit.

are these staged shots, or real?
- hammarby31

Staged. Which makes it almost as unbelievable as live. These marketing people have no clue.

Across the board, I agree.

it's preposterous.

simmonds took another puck up high, in the 3rd on a pp. he continued, so i guess it wasn't bad, but still. give me a (frank)ing break already.
- hammarby31

I know he doesn't care what I think but his helmet needs to be adjusted 1" lower on his head. At this height it almost renders the visor useless.

If it was a Chara slap shot, it would have maimed him. I don't want to see that. A good shot to the chops he had coming to him.
- PLindbergh31

Even after taking a shot directly to his face, he still didn't go down as dramatically as Crosby did after Schenn's little love tap.

Well, he got there too late to benefit from the Recchi diving master class.

Third straight SO for Smith and the Coyotes. I really hope somebody buys them and keeps them in Phoenix.
