147 pages in the 2010-11 Thread. Here start's next season.

Now the season's over, Boston has the cup for the summer, but it's all up for grabs come autumn. Bump it through the slow summer months as transactions occur

Oh, and to start some tradition: LOL @ Anaheim.


Who's winning the cup next?

They're out in force here in OREGON... I'm currently sitting in a sportsbar with 8 other guys clad in teal. Lots of Southbay Expats here.

Chicago dominated those last few minutes. Their penalty looked more like a powerplay.

Many Sharks fans laugh at you when you say you'd rather have Niemi... especially because many Sharks fans hate Niemi because he's not Nabby...

even though the wild didn't make it, these playoffs have rocked so far...its sweet to see teams like the preds, yotes, blues winning.

and sorry Sean I'll have to pull for the Blues only cause Oshie and Backes are minnesotans

I was excited to think that Greiss would be the fulltime starter and then we signed Niemi who can be fantastic but is inconsistent

Greiss is far more inconsistent... But I was mostly stoked when we got Niemi on the CHEAP and ruined shit for Chitown haha.

have you seen the goals he let in this game and last? tonight's goal wasn't even a shot...it dribbled off of a stick 7 feet in front of him and slid in between his legs at like 1 mph.... tuesday's was a shot ON THE GOAL LINE...as in 90 degrees from the front of the net and it went in. seriously fucking pathetic. we didn't deserve to win with performances like that...

Yeah I must say that this years playoffs isnt really a defensive one. A lot of the goalies have been lacking. I feel like Howard has been not on his A-Game since he broke his finger.

the only reason we lost was because the caps goalie was on FIRE! seriously, 48 out of 49 shots saved? thats unreal. as much as i hate the caps, they deserved this win.

44 saves you clown..props to holtby though he play realllllly solid, bruins gave him a ton of looks but nothing of real quality - why do they keep shooting glove side on him?? Obviously he has a great glove so avoid it..they also need to set up many more screens in front to part the red sea of caps defenders that form an impenetrable wall around him, holtby had so many clean looks at a number of shots

The caps offense blew though - THEY ONLY HAD 3 SHOTS IN BOTH THE FIRST AND THIRD PERIOD..fucking hell that game was painful to watch, they pretty much sat on their thumbs in their own end and let the bruins cruise through the neutral zone with no problem..shame on the bruins for not being able to capitalize as one of the best offenses in the league they should be hanging their heads

Can't fault timmy for either goals that semin wrister was a snipe...I cant believe how much speed he generated on the puck with that quick windup

Got my ticks for game 5 yesterday though..figure I'd go early in the playoffs since I probably wont be able to afford tickets to any of the later rounds

Caps Blocks

Game 1: 22
Game 2: 27
Game 3: 15
Game 4: 26

They've blocked 90 shots in four games lol If you include the 26 blocks from last night with the 44 shots on net..the bruins have had 70 shots last night - god damnit.

dude stfu and remove your pens avatar. you are just like every other fucking pittsburgh fan, probably one of those douche bitches that leaves when they are down 2 goals. I watched the best game of my life this year when the Pens came back against the Leafs and half of the building had left... FUCKING IDIOTS, JUST LIKE YOU ARE BEING.

Root for your team and be confident in them, if they play the same game again they will win. discipline and getting the puck deep.. its not that hard.

I have never left a game early in the five years I had season tickets. If the pens play real hockey like they did last game they will win. The curse of the flyer at consol energy center is why brings me to this. Conclusion

I will never forget that game. Seeing the vibe in that arena change was amazing. Anyone see Hartnel's quote from the other night? About the amount of goals scored. I'll go out on a limb and say there will at least ten goals tonight. Also excited for kings nucks

another thing to consider, all of the fylers goals in the last game were on powerplays, so perhaps pittsburgh defense is better off with out asham.

Kinda agree that it is a little boring. But I seriously think he caps and bruins both are making everyone else's goalies an defense look like absolute shit around the league.
