Devilsfan118 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 They run Courtier and Giroux with nothing called then Rinaldo pushes Kennedy and gets 4 minutes. F U NHL. I think as Doc said, they were just trying to control the game Rinaldo isn't exactly a saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neb00rs Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) True but if the Flyers plan on playing defense like this they're in HUGE trouble. The Penguins completely lost their heads and discipline. The Flyers are just adapting to the pace of the series. The Pens take more risks and score more also. I have seen the winning team from a high scoring series, completely shut the goal scoring down the next series. I may laugh at the team that allows 20 goals in 3 playoff games, but I fear the team that scores 20 in 3.

DevilNurn Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I can't believe a few weeks ago during the regular season I said that the Penguins were going to be bar none the hardest team in the East to beat. They are so stacked with talent... ...But what can you say? The Flyers were built to beat them. They play hard defensively, they hit a lot, and they are explosive offensively on 3 lines. Since Fleury has been playing like garbage they've got nothing. Their stars don't know what to do. They look silly. And I mean even though it means the Flyers are going to win a series, I'm enjoying every minute of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95Crash Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 As much as I hate the Flyers -- and believe me I do -- damn they've looked impressive. Hopefully it's just a macthup thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisZajac Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 this game was hysterical I can't remember a team being that bad in a series with such talent, perhaps the Trashers of 2007 but even then...(Trashers were eh lol) I'm glad the Devils didn't hold on Martin, dude looks like a former shelf of himself... that and...Pens are done.Fleury/D cannot do anything at all....Bryz's just almost as bad as Fleury that goal where he went up and that puck got in...I mean, just stay down and put your glove behing you or just check LOL that and ''getting out'' Rinaldo was understandable..bet the refs didn't want to deal with more penaltes or Rinaldo having a go..they should have done that with Neal right from the start when he was having a go at anyone(after Couturier's hit..)

Marshall Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Full disclosure: when time ran down in the second period, I thought it was the third because the game had gone on for so long and the score was that high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Penguins. Flurry is too big a sieve and Flyers have too much firepower. Kings - Canucks have still been close games and Kings aren't putting the biscuit in at a frightening rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravityFat Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 canucks have a backup goalie capable of stopping the kings, pens don't have a chance in hell with either goalie they have. easy pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) So Hagelin gets 3 games, and Carkner gets 1. Discuss. The difference is that Hagelin's play resulted in one of Ottawa's best players potentially having to sit out a few games. (I'm not sure if anything there's any determination of how much time Alfredsson is going to miss.) So it's basically tit for tat. I would imagine there's also a liability issue, since hits to the head might result in a lawsuit, as we're already seeing the NFL. Otherwise, it's all part of the league conspiracy to get Ottawa into the SC finals. Edited April 16, 2012 by Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Curious to hear everyone's thoughts on the suspensions yesterday. I think Hagelin getting 3 is hilarious in that it fvcks the Rangers, but I thought it was a little excessive. 1 game probably would've sufficed. Carkner getting 1 game is also hilarious in how it's enraged the Rangers fanbase, but he probably should've gotten 2. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was "feeling better" according to TSN. The thing with Hagelin's hit is I don't think it was with intent to injure. He got a little carried away, he doesn't have a history of being a dirty player. I was surprised he got 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised he got 3. but how many times does it have to be told to these guys, no head shots allowed, it's been talked about so much this year. Keep your elbows down, that's all he had to do. 3 games is fine to me because of the stupidity of these guys who don't listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJCroMag Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) Which team, Canucks or Penguins, will bow out first? Take your pick. Article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette today suggests the Flyers have tired themselves out by constantly raising their arms in celebration of a goal this series. The writer thinks this may work out in the Penguins' favor. (Okay, for the record, he said this jokingly. Still...ouch.)

I could see grounds for leniency if he was just trying to finish a check and got his elbow up or it was some sort of spontaneous reaction to Alfredsson making an evasive move (which was kind of the case with Volchenkov's elbow last year). UPDATE: Apparently Alfredsson stated that he thought the hit was not intentional. Edited April 16, 2012 by Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overtime98 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Perfect suspension for hagelin..... Alfredsson didnt have the puck and Hagelin led with his elbow and forearm HIGH to throw the hit.... The hit took Alfredsson out of the game. Hagelin even apologized for the hit which means he knew he was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
