Wow at the rate the Penguins and Flyers were scoring it almost resembled a lacrosse match.

As for the Panthers, I wonder how many fans they had at their game and how many Devils fans made the trip down.

Glad to see the Canucks falling on their face! Go LA!

Kind of off topic, but Canada just defeated the US 5-4 in OT to win the IIHF Women's World Hockey Championship series.....

it's about time! I was worried after they blew the 3-1 lead they'd lose all momentum.

Back to the NHL.... Sens beat Rangers!

And Phoenix is leading Chicago 2-1 at the end of the 1st.

After having watched all the games today I can unequivocally say that every series is gonna turn into a blood bath before they finish.

Some calls are being made while others are being completely ignored which is giving the impression that as a player you can do whatever the fuck you want out there with no consequences.

The only one I saw today that was right was the shaw call and for the one they got right they missed four others that resulted in injuries or ejections for the wrong people.

Buttman had better get his pet Shanahan to start clamping down bigtime or it's gonna get even worse. As it stands now the WWE has less violence than an NHL game.

Yep probably, but let's be honest, most hockey fans enjoy the big hits, the fights and all the animosity between teams.

Yes we do. But we also don't like the stickwork, headhunting and cheap shots.

And what the hell ever happened to the rule that a major penalty(with the exception of fighting) was an automatic game suspension as well?

[Alta_redneck]

With what Weber did the other night and the elbow smash Burn's throw out last night, I'm concerned this might happen the next time the ice crew have to bring the ladders out to fix the glass.

The way the games are being called in the playoffs is a joke and is equally disgusting as the lack of respect the players are showing each other.

As a hockey fan, I like to watch skilled players control the game, not meat heads.

I just remembered why I hate WWE wrestling... thanks AR.

I have to agree, this whole playoff series is bullshit, this isn't hockey, it's warfare, beat the Hell out of the opposition, knock the "star" players out of the game any way you can. The number of infractions not being called is ridiculous, nearly every play ends with a crosscheck or slash. The league had better get their shit together or the whole series will get totally out of hand. I'm watching the Pittsburgh-Philly game right now, the first period has been nothing short of mayhem......
