It's on like Donkey Kong - 2012 NHL playoffs

[Gin and Tonic Sky]

TB looking pretty impressive all the sudden 4 -3 !

[Rockindeano]

Ol "Super Tim" is leaking more than Elton John's semen drenched asshole. Dude couldn't stop a beach ball.

Boston just isn't that good offencively. Tampas Defence is not good at all....and BOS can't get a scoring chance, let alone a shot on goal, BUT, I know, there was at least 4, maybe 5 horrible non calls that Boston didn't receive, thus this game is obviously not fair.

I want to see Boston advance though, so that sorry piece of dog shit Charra can get thrown into the boards by Ehroff or Bieksa. No defence hits harder or more often than Vancouver's. Charra is a dirty sonofabitch and needs someone to run him into the fucking glass.

You just know that filthy smelly Euro never bathes and I bet he chain smokes in the offseason too. Not to mention I bet dude jogs in Prague with shorts and dark brown socks on, probably with a grit stick hanging out of his piehole.

Ole Crybobby couldn't stop shit last night either....

All in all, the calls were pretty good tonight. I have no complaints. However, this game was lost when Smith came in. Boston sat on that 3-0 lead....just like SJ did last night....

I have no complaints...

Deano, please stick to your Lionel train sets....leave the hockey to the experts, thanks.....

How long before Lynn busts in with her pink hat, claiming that TB is a really good team....and 'her' Bolts laid the smackdown?

1) I know more hockey in the tip of my cock than you do in your oversized goalie bucket. STFU and accept the HORRIBLE loss. Oh and I was never into Lionel. The unrealistic third rail ruined the authenticity for me, but thanks for the suggestion.

2) Lynn should come in with her hole yapping. TB did dominate 40 of the 60 mins. Scoreboard doesn't lie Seanboy. When you going to learn that proverb?

Having said that, I do think BOS wins it in 7, then gets to travel west and get throttled. Nice way to go out eh?

A) First of all, where do you get the idea that I haven't accepted the loss?

2) You don't THINK Boston will win in 7, you WANT Boston to win in 7. Difference. Pay attention to your own real estate. Don't worry what the East is doing. You are going to be hard pressed to win your series.

[YoungJRNY]

What's with this 'we" and 'your' shit?

[S2M]

I'm thinking Smith starts on Monday night....cause if he doesn't......3-2 series lead for Boston. Roli the Oldie is toast.....

Well, FIRST of all, I never wear pink secondly, they aren't "my Bolts"..... "my" is only used for me in conjunction with the Pens! Which I'm sure you know! They are "the Bolts" to me!

Now for the game! Wow! That's all I can say! I was ready to give up on them when I saw 3 goals on Roloson first period. He's a great goalie, and I don't remember him being pulled yet in all the playoffs. He was off today though, and it's good he got pulled. Smith did great. And to be in a home arena, when a team makes a turn around like that, was beyond exciting! It's what I hoped it would be like. I still really hope TB will make it to the cup finals. They don't give up, and I still say from the way I saw the second and third periods, they can still do it.

After the game, I was surprised with a free concert by Cheap Trick, right outside the arena doors. Not one of my top groups, but fun to see after a fun game. I guess Zander is from the TB area, and they played there the year Tampa won the cup also. Couldn't have asked for a better day! GO BOLTS!

[Rockindeano]

Smart you are not.

Pull Rolie? Put the pipe down.

Luongo got pulled and oh yeah, he came back to beat Chicago and dude has 2 SO's in the playoffs. He has arguably been better than anyone in goal Thomas included. You get pulled you lose your starting job? jesus Christ S2M....Rolie starts, guaranteed.

You had better hope Boston wins next game. You really want to go to Florida down 3-2 with a must win in Tampa?

I agree. He is a great goalie. Anyone can have an off day, and you have to hold defense partially accountable too. Pretty sure 3 goals got past Thomas yesterday I was impressed with Roloson in the Pens series. He's 41 years old, and played 2 back to back games. There was concern over his age, and could he do it. And he played both games unbelievably well. I was wishing Fleury would have! Anyway, no need to pull him. Good to know if he needs pulled, Smith can do the job.

No matter what happens in this series, Tampa is going to be around for a while. They are getting stronger as time goes on. I'm not necessarily totally happy about this, since I want my Pens back on top! But I can see it happening. They have a GOOD coach and management.

[Rockindeano]

Too funny. San Jose gets 7 power plays and can't score. Vancouver gets three straight PP's and scores on all of them.

Goodnight Sharks, thanks for playing.

Hahahaha. You sure you want any of this Lynn? S2M?

Unlike you, I never bitched about any of the suspect calls, and IMHO, there were many, but oh well. A 5 on 3 is a deserved opportunity.

Oh goal alert. Vancouver just undressed Niemi 5 on 5. There is your even strength goal.

By the way, without looking, I believe Luongo has the best GAA in the playoffs. Oops, almost a 3rd shutout. In any event, he played well.

Like I said, I wasn't looking, and when I said it, he had only given up the one goal today. Now he has let 2 in, but the GAA will still drop. Maybe he can take the lead as it now stands, but I am not doing the math.

For the record, I personally think Thomas is better between the two. My point all along is Luongo must play under intense pressure in Vancouver. Perhaps no more pressure in the NHL than that town right now. If they don't win the Cup this year, I expect the city of Vancouver to be burned down completely.

[S2M]

All I know is whomever plays Vancouver better stay out of the box....it doesn't take a theoretical physicist to figure out how to beat this team....or any team for that matter.

I think therin lies the problem. I do not think you can beat this team 4 times out of 7. They are too strong, deep and seasoned to lose this.

I'm on the fence about your statements....Boston has been the best 5 on 5 team ALL season, plus the playoffs. They have the worse PP. Like I said before, IF(and i realize people hate this term, but having a PP this bad is a one in a lifetime anamoly in hockey) they even had a mediocre PP - they'd be the team to beat....and I wouldn't have been surprised if they went 16-0 with the Cup....

Roloson 2.51.....doesn't that make them all pretty close? Or does that tiny fraction make a difference? I'm asking seriously!

Ok, you win. After reading this, this garbage, I can no longer talk hockey with you. This is the most ridiculous shit I have ever read.

You do realize Vancouver had BY FAR, the largest goal differential in the NHL, right? There is a reason they go on the PP. Teams have to clutch, grab, trip and hook the team with the superior speed. You just bewilder me dude. I cannot wrap my head around your statements at all.

For you to say Boston, a team that finished what, the #3 seed in the lesser conference, was the best team in the entire league all year long in any category is beyong comprehensible. Then, you have the fucking gall, or stupidity to say that if they had a good PP, they would go 16-0. Hey Einstien, did you see yesterday's game? Was that the Bruins awesome 5 on 5 let in those 4 straight goals that lost them a lead and the game? Boston's defence is average at best. I hope you get to the Finals. I want to see the 6-2, 5-1 blowouts that I know are coming.

You're about right Lynn. They are definitely close....but what Seanboy will not tell you is, Luongo(2.37 now), has played 2 more games than Timmy. So that means if Timmy gives up 3 the next game, he is behind Lu.

Look at the stats that matter(and GAA does, but wins is obviously number 1, and Luongo has 11 and Thomas 10. To be fair, Luongo has the much better defence in front of him, vs either Thomas or Roloson.

Lastly, as I have said before, it's a helluva lot easier to play in Boston than it is Vancouver, and even more easy in Tampa Bay, where basically no one gives two shits about the Ing.

[S2M]

To admit that Luongo has a better defense in front of him, yet he has more stress on him is illogical....how about playing with Boston's shoddy, swiss cheese defense ALL year, and STILL having the best GAA, and SA%....Thomas has easily saved this team from more defeats than every goalie in the playoffs combined. No PP, shoddy defense....it's not even close.

Again, Dean....Vancouver doesn't impress me 5 on 5. They really don't. Only homers cling to that superlative for their teams. Am I the only truthful one here? Besides TT, Chara(I'm losing alot of respect for him), and Bergeron - this team really shouldn't be where they are....but they are. Do we(and by WE, I mean YOU) really need to nitpick, and constantly be running in here to wax pathetic about how such and such a team is going to destroy such and such...?

And Luongo has 2 more games because Boston SWEPT Philly.....but I'm sure you will come back with the fact that whatever team VAN played was better than Philly....

I'll use this as an opportunity to remind that TB swept the caps also The Bruins and TB both ended up with quite a break!

[Rockindeano]

Yeah you did, because it's a third round Stanley Cup playoff game. What you want to guess the attendance was in a mid January or February game? let's look.

How about these huge tilts at that hockey crazed mecca known as Tampa Bay.

There was a monster crowd in the Ice Palace for the Jackets in February- 13,000 announced attendance, which means there were about 9,000 in the house. My point is not to bash you or the Bolts, but of course you'll have interest this deep into the playoffs. A TRUE hockey bastion sells out every game. The Nucks have sold out 386 consecutive games at GM Place/Rogers Arena, 18,630. That's impressive. They messed up. They should have built that place to be the size of Tampa's rink. I believe TB holds 21K+. The two clubs should trade arenas.
