nice to see Iginla get a goal.

when you have Ovie anything is possible unless you want to get past the 2nd round of the Playoffs :twisted:


Mike Richards is not a fan of the media. watch until the end of just skip to the last 15 seconds.

Are Pittsburgh a bunch of divers? I hardly watch the east. From the one game I watched, it looks like the Isles are.

when the Pens play the Flyers it seems someone is always saying a different Penguin is a diver. the penalty he is referring to Ben Lovejoy did grab Richards stick and fall to ice with it but it was to protect his groin region as Richards was about to hit him in a very bad place.

 

[pghbuccos]

That was a bs call. Now NHL wants to penalize nice clean hard hitting open ice checks.

Yeah, loving free preview of center ice. Pens-Philly game should have some good fireworks I hope and not a snoozer like opening night was. Also looking forward to Boston-NJ and Cal-Edm tonight.

it sure was a bs call. it was clearly a shoulder to shoulder hit. Comeau assisted on both Isles goals and was named the #2 Star as well.

I am hoping for a much more exciting game as well from the Pens and Flyers. Boston NJ should be a great game as should Buffalo Chicago and Detroit Phoenix.

I will say, it was not the correct call, but you still have to look at it the way the refs see it. They don't have the replays we do, where we know what we're looking for the second time around. I can understand how it was called that on first glance, seeing Comeau's helmet go flying and him going down (whether he was faking it is another story). These are going to be tough ones we see all season I think.

With that said, hopefully the NHL will at least review it and do the right thing and NOT suspend Letang.

I definitely understand why the call was made but it still makes me angry and like we both said I hope the NHL does the right thing and does not suspend him. the Pens play today at 6 and there hasn't been any mention of a disciplinary hearing so I would imagine they have already decided not to take any further action.

the NHL officially rescinded the Major Penalty assessed to Kris Letang yesterday afternoon.

There are a few teams in the West that get weak in the skates. Mike Ribeiro may be one of the strongest players on his skates, but sadly, he will go down easily from time to time.

You will enjoy it. Even if you don't buy anything its stilla great Hockey catalog to look at. They have some amazing pieces inside of it.

 

[Weimer]

I should probably request a copy. Sounds fun.

 

[matchpenalty]

Yep, Frozen Pond is about as good as it gets for Hockey auto stuff. Love reading Hersh blog. Chris Bosh stuff was pretty good and how that signing turned out.

Bilko that's will be fun to see the Oilers Young Guns.

Mike Rupp and Jody Shelley just fought. Rupp didn't fair so well

Rupp did pretty well in that fight. He can go with big heavys and hold his own. Shelley did feed a million jersey jabs. Really nice rip on back of Shelley jersey after that fight with shot of him in penalty box. Just went to MeiGray site to see if his home set 1 was avaliable. Looks like someone preodrered it already. That one should be easy photomatch to repair from the Rupp fight.

I just don't like to see Rupp go up against the heavyweights. it would suck if he got hurt. he had some blood on his jersey when he skated off the ice but seemed fine when he came back from the locker room.

the Penguins will play Sergei Gonchar and the Ottawa Senators tonight at 7. this will be the first time Gonchar will play against the Pens since he signed with the Sens on the first day of free agency this past Summer. he said it will be strange to play against the Pens especially one of his best friends Evgeni Malkin. the two will undoubtedly face each other on the ice a few times tonight.

good article about Gonchar and Malkin...
