**Official NHL Playoffs Thread**

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
How do we know who the better team is when there is 10 or more power plays in a game now? It is great to watch the players now after a whistle, they all look at each other, "huh? was that me? huh? who? what? where? huh?" LOL! The great game is ruined. Now to take matters even worse, they are going to - make the nets larger - not allow the goalies play the puck behind the line - and not let the goalie freeze the puck. And I guarantee you this will happen only after the poster child of hockey (Chris Osgood) retires. I mean do you and Gary Bettman go to bars together wearing chaps with the butt cut out? Be honest, cause thats what it looks like. I bet Chris Osgood drives you two around. :ROFL:

I don't really understand what the last part even means, but from what I can gather, if you think Chris Osgood is the poster child of the NHL, you are even more biased then I first thought. Take off the "I hate the Red Wings" glasses for a minute and take a breath. Have you seen any of the NHL's commercials? Have you ever seen Osgood in one? Or even a Red Wing in general? The new commercials have basically all the Pen's in it, Ovechkin, some others, but no Wings. Objectivity is a wonderful thing, give it a shot.
 
Oh, and if you want to get an idea of how much Gary Bettman is liked in Detroit, tune in for the next game, if the Wings can close it out, he has to present the trophy, listen to the crowds reaction.
 
What ever you say there Gary.:) So any way, I'm watching this Flyers Pens game and I noticed something, It appears in the eastern conference that the players do not spend 100% of thier minutes on the ice trying to draw a petty penalty from their favorite official. Way more "let it go no acting" hockey that I like. Pretty cool because now it is just left up to only the officials to call a holding or a tripping or a hook when they feel like it for what ever reason, even thought it really happens every possession of every game. There are many leagues that host the great game of hockey, it is up to us to pretect it. Oh and BTW, the Wings have always been my favorite team (as I said twice before), we only had Canadian farm system teams here, wich I feel is better hockey to be honest, cheaper to attend too.:D Back to the game.:popcorn:

I still think it's funny you call me "Gary" when last game the Stars got 3 straight power-plays in a row, 2 goals from the Wings taken away that should have counted, and 1 goal from a Star that shouldn't have counted. :nilly::nilly::nilly:
 
I feel your pain bro, and that's some of what I'm talking about. Ok so, that game was a pretty darn good game I thought. Could have ezily been 2-2 cause that holding call agains Pitt. was just um... way to weak and petty to be a call.(and I hate Pitt.) But what made this game special to me was in the last minute good ol'e Darian Hatcher keepin it real. LOL Greatness. He is just one of a handfull of guys that played back when you kept the other team honest with out relying on the officials to do it for you like these little boys have to do now. Great Game, Pitt. will still take it though I think.
 
hamato are we the only one's keeping this thread alive? Where are you hockey fans? Surely some Penguin fans out there? Flyers? The Cup is right around the corner:headbang2 Lets hear it!!!!! :mwave:
 
Viper's been on the thread too, but really this is typical for what hockey is now.

On your point about Hatcher, this is actually a good reason to watch the Wings. Despite what Cherry says, we still have quite a few guys who play "old school" hockey. Now, unfortunately people think old school hockey measn just beating the crap out of everyone you see, but thats not true. Guy's like Draper, Maltby, Lidstrom, Drake, Chelios, Holmstrom, and so on, have played that game for years, and really still play it for the most part. They are fun to watch, and if you guys haven't seen Kronwall play, that guy is an awesome defender, who really is mastering the open ice hit.
