Yo Fibbi, I know your boyz are on the ropes, and all, but do a brotha a solid, and roll-over on the Sucks tonight and go golfing early.

Kings V Sucks would be

Just say'n.

Because the cup!

Alexander Ovechkin Would Prefer Not To Play Defense

This is Derek Stepan's goal from the third period of last night's Capitals-Rangers game, which put the Rangers up 4-2. It's an impressive play, but not nearly as impressive as Alexander Ovechkin's brief cameo.

Keep your eye on the bottom right hand corner of the screen, and look for the giant Russian guy who comes slowly drifting into the frame. That's Ovechkin, giving zero fucks about defense and looking like the world's saddest man. You really have to admire his ability to look that apathetic in the middle of a playoff hockey game.

I'd say your bigger problem was the ill advised pinch and attempt at a big hit by Phaneuf that led to the rush. Judging by the look Reimers wife gave Phaneufs fiance after the goal, I think she agrees with me
Yes of course Phenuf effed up but what else is new. All anyone is talking about us the ill advised pinch, there was another 150 ft of ice that happened after that. The turnover machine that is Obyrne did nothing to try and stop the goal.

And when is Reimer going to keep us in a game or steal one?? No name goalies don't deliver come playoff time.

Doc's drinking game is under the bingo.

OR, FOR THOSE OF YOU TOO FUCKING LAZY TO PLAY BINGO, THE VERSUS DRINKING GAME:

Take a shot every time Doc Emrick says any of the following words: DRIIIIIIIIIIVE!, SCOOOOOOOOOORE!, squibbed, knifed, or waffleboarded.
Take TWO shots every time Doc Emrick uses the phrase “no carryover penalties or power plays,” “caught in the goalie’s paraphernalia,” or adds a “-y” to the end of a player’s name that doesn’t go by it (e.g. Timmy Thomas, Chrissie Hynde Pronger)
Take a shot every time one of the following players, each of whom are not playing in the Bruins-Flyers game, is mentioned: Jeff Carter, Mike Richards, Roberto Luongo, Sidney Crosby, Alexander Ovechkin, Paul Bissonnette
Take a shot every time one of the following obvious things comes up as a vital storyline: Zdeno Chara’s height, Tim Thomas’s triple crown, Jaromir Jagr’s time spent in Russia, Chris Pronger’s new captaincy, Ilya Bryzgalov’s Twitter account
Take a shot every time Pierre McGuire appears on screen
Take a shot every time Doc Emrick explains a common hockey term
Take a shot every time Ed Olczyk talks about something unrelated to the game
Take a shot every time this year’s Winter Classic is referenced without mention of the Bruins-Flyers one from 2010
Take a shot every time Doc Emrick’s voice cracks.

(DISCLAIMER: These games are for entertainment purposes only, and for your short-term and long-term health, physical and mental, should probably not be played by anyone.)

Enjoy the game!

Homey you know laydown requests are only good for the regular season to help a brother out. After the party, it's the hotel lobby and every man for himself.


Besides, I already promised boy another round to celebrate his irrational hatred before we bust up this East Coast/West Coast divide.

This series has really come down to one thing, hitting.

The 2 games Boston has lost are also the 2 games where they weren't playing "always lay the body on 'em hockey". Game 2 they didn't do it at all, Toronto was the much more physical team and the Leafs took it to the B's on the body and the score sheet.

Game 5 was the same thing for the first 20 to 30 minutes. Rask saved the B's from being down 5-0 until halfway through the 2nd when the B's decided to play physical hockey. Reimer played out of his mind the whole game but it was 100% necessary in the final 20 minutes.

No doubt the Leafs can play tough hockey now but I think if the B's set their minds on being physical from the start of the 1st period we've got more guys who are hard hitting than the Leafs do and that turns the games in the B's favor.

The B's will never be a scoring team who can check, they're a checking team that can score, that's the only way they win games.

Torts is delusional.

Can the Isles not consider themselves eliminated?

Rangers coach John Tortorella didn't even want to address the notion that it could be his club's final game of the season.

"I don't consider it an elimination game," he said. "We're trying to win one game. I'm not going to even use that word. We've bounced back. Guys that haven't been in it, it's an opportunity. That's the way they have to look at it. We'll go home and try to win a game."

Figures you would whine about that, when it should have been a late hit to effing start with. puck was behind the net when Perrault was hit. But don't worry the black and white Rangers will make sure the blue and red Rangers have a chance.

Bulls@it.

How many Rangers are not playing due to Caps illegal hits???

What about the intent to injure elbow in the first????

What about the 100s of missed calls on both sides and in all series so far???

The Rangers had a chance to score, behind the play a player was down.

Play should continue until the player is in danger from it.

Although, seriously, as much as some people dislike him, Burke must be feeling a sense of vindication watching his Leafs push back like this.

Impressive win by Toronto tonight.
