wow you played hockey in highschool, you must know everything about the game.

I'm not going to try and come here and say that philly has more firepower than the pens, because that is definitely not true. They didnt have more firepower than MTL or WAS but they got the job done. You know why? Because they are a playoff team.

The Pens haven't faced any adversity this playoffs. The sens (as much as I love them) could have been beaten by my local peewee team. The Habs are much more like the Pens (fast guys, who are softies and have no heart). Lots of euros on that team (similar to the pens), who like you say, dont like to dump the puck in and battle.

You talk about goaltending. WOOOOW. Fleury is so amazing omg!!! He has SOO much playoff experience eh? Sounds kind of like the Price story to me. No one thought he could be beat, until he lost a couple games and started to FEEL the pressure. Can't wait till that happens with Fleury. Philly is gonna get in there and rattle his cage.

Why do you think that the Pens purposely lost their final game to avoid Philly? ahaha. you guys are like scared little girls. Time to play with the big boys. Keep your head up.

The fact that you even compared Fleury's post season to Carey Price's, has just removed the the last miniscule amount of respect that I had for your opinions.  Price play pathetic.  Fleury has been making huge saves game after game.  There is no comparison really.

Marc-Andre Fleury:
GAA - 1.76 (3rd)
Save % - .938 (1st)
Wins - 8 (1st)
Shutouts - 2 (1st)

Carey Price:
GAA - 2.78 (9th)
Save % - .901 (13th)
Wins - 5 (7th)
Shutouts - 2 (1st)

yes this is the 2nd time Fleury has played in the playoffs... ...it is also the 1st time Biron has played in the playoffs.  So don't even bring playoff experience in the picture.  The lead leading "cage rattler" Sean Avery didn't even phase Fluery.  All he got was a ball-tap from Fleury and ruptured spleen from Hossa.  I have respect for how Biron has played, but never compare what MAF has done so far to Carey Price.

I am a sens fan and I really didnt see many big saves from fleury. Most of the shots were from outside, with no traffic in front. He was definitely not a factor in this series.

WOW fleury has two years experience? From what the 5 games he played in last year where the sens destroyed him?

Thanks for the stats tho. Lets just wait and see what happens. As long as the Penguins dont win the cup I will be happy. Crosby couldnt handle drinking anything but Gatorade out of that thing. He is a lightweight.

don cherry is a freakin asshole, he think he can say whatever he wants and he think he knows everything. He heard what he say about montreal riot? wow really smart. Oh and dont forget when he say that european and french canadian are fag because they wear a visor on their helmet? wow

Oh and for those who like flyers rough play and say that crosby is a fag and can't take a hit. In quebec we have something that's call semi-pro. It's full of guys that do hockey and UFC. There is fighting and cheap shot at every game,  only rough play, no fag players who score goals. I think philadelphia should try getting a franchise

yeah I figured you were from Quebec when you were talking about the semi-pro league (the Q?). That's why I said I can understand why you wouldn't like him, you have a very good reason not to like him.

I'm not sure why he hates on the french so much though. Some of the best Canadian hockey players ever came out of that province so Don needs to take a look at that.

When I think about it, I think the reason why he has such anger for Quebecers is because he is so proud to be Canadian he cannot understand why some of you would ever want to seperate from the country...?

Freeballin,

is this what you meant?

dont you mean sidney crosby is a bitch?

http://msn.foxsports.com/nhl/story/8114158

http://www.nypost.com/seven/04252008/sports/rangers/crosby_dives_into_series_108100.htm

So if he doesn't dive than he lacks balance, he's still a bitch for not being able to skate through someones stick tapping his skate.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/allan_muir/01/11/inside.nhl/



check this out, he just gets stepped into, and he acts like he's going into a coma! Yet again a bitch, atleast Umberger took a big hit and had a reason to be down

and again


his hand barely touched his face




this one especially jesus, he acts like he's got a fire on him!







This sums it up,

Crosby is a whiny ass pussy bitch.

Flyers in 5 or 6!

your right, even if the pens win i'll have SI/ESPN/FSN writing about me posting all this on Newschoolers, and i'll have over 100 videos about me posting all this on NS as well all over youtube.  Ha please that may be the dumbest shit i've read.  Regardless of whom wins, Sidney will never be as great as other players, who cares if he can score, he's classless.

Hockey is all about class and respect.  Look at the greatest!  Including young guns for colorado Peter Stastny and Wojtek Wolski, yeah no cup, but atleast they don't dive and skate through a stick check without falling over, or charge at players for telling the ref what someone did.  Sidney has pulled the same shit year in year out, I saw him do it at an Avalanche game this year, as well as a Flyers game.  He'll never be a Lemieux, Gretzky or a Sakic because he lacks class.  Yeah he's great out of the gates, but you'll never be respected by fellow teams for being a bitch in the NHL.  Shit i didn't dive that much when i was a mini mite.

Bang on there good chap.... NOT. 

he got rocked with a clean hit. big deal. it happens all the time. Umberger doesnt take that pass and its a scoring chance for campbell. Its OT, you gotta sacrifice yourself for the team. I guarantee if Sidney was getting a suicide pass like that he would just let it go right by him.

And Jeff-Lo, thanks for posting those videos. Pens fans will still deny his diving them but its pretty obvious from those videos.

I'm not going to even try to comprehend how I lose priveledges for rooting for a team, is that even comparable to not even knowing how many games you need to win a series?

And to the other guy, your priveledges were revoked, sorry bud.

fuck sake kid, your a retard.  It's one game!  Even if they do win who gives a shit, it was one game, i recall new york beat you guys last series?  Should I dare say the penguin sucked dick that night(cuz they did) but still won, you can't justify a whole series on one game let alone the first you dumb shit.

You sound like a freakin patriots fan, get over yourself, and your team of bitchy divers, at the end of the playoffs if they win the cup, think about how many people will be after your team for being a bunch of immature whiners and cheats.(malkin/crosby)  both have had problems as of recent with reffs for bitching, clearly if you actually followed hockey beyond your own teams wins you may know this and understand the respect the players develope for one another.  When I played midget AA's i knew players more mature and that showed more character than Crosby and Malkin, and those are 16 and 17 year olds.

the people that keep saying crosby isnt playing good obviously dont watch these hockey games. i go to all the games watch the shit first hand and i see everything crosby does. he is an amazing player and feeds the puck like no other ya maybe he doesnt score but he sets the plays up. without someone to set up plays well then you dont make plays.

You could be the "Best player in the world" but it's all about the cup. And Ovechkin kinda lost his chance for that. In my opinion Crosby and Malkin blow him out of the water. Crosby gets double covered and still is setting up plays. And Malkin, not only is he destroying in the playoffs, but when Sid fucked his ankle, Malkin really stepped up and led his team to the playoffs.

and did these guys grow up to be two of the greatest players in the NHL right now ?  No.

For God's sake guys, give them a break, they've been playing 2 years in the NHL and they've already accomplished more than 75% of the players in the league who've been playing for ten years.

TV stations have like 10 cameras a game just following Sidney all the time, it's just normal that you notice it more when the guy dives, and plus his name is SYDNEY CROSBY.  No disrespect to the guy, but how often did you notice Manny Malhotra dive ?  Probably never, first cause you don't give a shit about the guy, and second, you probably don't even know what team he plays in.

It's easy to hate on superstars guys, but just think that when you play close to 30 minutes a game, you'll have more chances to score, but also more chances of making mistakes.
