Quoted from shlt_thunder:Don't get too excited. Pittsburg had the same idea and look what happened to Vegas with MAF.
Little different situation as the Penguins did not want to let Fleury go. The biggest issue was that MAF was going to be taken in the Expansion draft as the Penguins made the decision it was best to protect Murray (younger and coming off two Cup wins). Obviously that was a bad decision but if the Penguins didn't trade MAF they would've lost him anyhow and got nothing in return.
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Imagine being a Leafs fan.
Quoted from TheLaw:I don't have to imagine, everyone I know is a Lions fan!!
You guys ever hear of the Pirates?
Quoted from TheLaw:No...and those WERE THE GOOD DAYS!!!
Yeah what a shit show. Great city, fans, & stadium...and they just don't give a shit. They need to force a owner firing.
Hey they're one of the best minor league teams in the majors!
Lemieux actually tried to buy them several years back. Pirates owner balked (get it) at the idea.
Ottawa fans you have to be pissed. Anyone that hires Pierre McGuire is showing that they have no desire to win.
With Pierre out, how will I know what University every player went too. The only thing he ever added to a game! Always wondered if it was in his contract that he was the only one allowed to mention what University a player went too.
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Whatever tix sell to Mesz , I'll go that game as well
Luch in this case I need 32 tickets 
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Poor Taylor Hall....feel sorry for the kid. I like him as a person /player ...sucks he bounces around.
The black cloud just follows this guy!
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:I’m in! Have the Shelley express (wife) to take me home.
It’s all in luch’s hands to make it happen. No pressure.
If he doesn’t come through for us join me over at the “Luch promised me tickets to a Leaf’s game and screwed me” thread!!
Quoted from OldHockeyGuy:Being from DC area, my concern is the Caps growing too old,
Yeah the CAPS and PENS are growing old together. We're the Red Wings of tomorrow but tomorrow is coming quick!
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:Fuck Bettman
Agree. I use to defend Bettman due to him locking the players out. It was a great move on his part as hockey was going to follow the same path as baseball. The Winter Classic, another great move on his part. But Bettman, as good as he is from a financial perspective he's horrible when it comes to making decision for the game itself. (ok I am rambling now)
Quoted from hwyhed:..where’s the respect?
It came over the last 3 years in the form of 21 million dollars.
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Its all business now Hue .
This
Quoted from ImNotNorm:My concern is teams giving calibre players away. It shreds the league's credibility.
You can't call that business. Or good for business.
Watch ....
According to Vegas GM there were several talks with Fleury about what was going on. He also advises as to how they had a "Trade call scheduled" but the info was leaked out on Twitter prior to the call taking place.
So it's not as bad as the media/people are making it out to be. But since drama sells ......
Quoted from OldHockeyGuy:meSz Helpful post. There were some communications, but this was a face-saving press pr blurb after they messed up on not making the final call to him. He is a big boy and has made plenty of money, but still having your star depart in this fashion is at least tacky. As I recall, VGK were not particularly smooth in the Gallant firing. As noted earlier, this has all the fingerprints of George McPhee's cavalier managing style.
Understood! I guess I am immune to this as the company I work for, employees usually find out about job cuts via the media before the company makes an announcement. Doesn't make it right, just makes it normal for me!
Quoted from ImNotNorm:My thoughts are Bettman will do his best to sweep this under the rug.
Like ALL sports these days, no one cares what an athlete does off the “field”. As long as they produce on the field all is forgotten!
My favorite all time is Ray Lewis. The guy plea bargained out of a murder trial and the NFL made him their poster boy a year later!
Quoted from ImNotNorm:You mean Ray Lewis right? I remember that.
I think the times are changing though. Imagine how some of the Sharks players are feeling hearing about this.
The Jets threw his gear and clothing in the shower as a polite way to tell him to fuck off.
I wonder what some of the Sharks players are going to do/say to him.
Yes (corrected post) Ray Lewis!
Quoted from OldHockeyGuy:We have Bobby Orr's Power Play, #Olympic Hockey, and#IceFever, is it too much to ask that we get a game for Wayne Gretzky (beyond rod hockey) and Alex Ovechkin?
As much as I’d love to see a hockey machine I would think having a game themed after a single player would be a bad idea for sales IMO.
With technology today how difficult would it be to make a hockey game where you could go into the settings and change the theme to your team of choice? Think bout the Stern NFL machines but instead of different back glasses you have an lcd, go into menu select your team of choice and the logo or whatever of that team is shown.
Could also get the broadcasters for teams to do the call outs and that is played along with your team selection.
Just a thought that will never happen.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:The Hurricanes updated their Twitter account.....to French. LOL
The trolling is strong with this one![quoted image]
Shouldn't AZ be the ones doing that?
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Yup. I make a for sale thread to sell the piece of toast with the pinball machine apparition but the mods shut it down claiming it was a fake ad.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/pinball-toast-apparition
So I made it my avatar instead.
I thought you were signifying Edmonton's season! 
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Hahaha yea they are probably toast again this year.
Is it odd that, although I live in Edmonton, I get some enjoyment watching them lose?
Not at all, it's called accepting the fact your team sucks!
Being from Pittsburgh, I went through the same thing for few decades with the Penguins and let's not even talk about our minor league baseball team the Pirates!
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:Crosby out 6 weeks with wrist surgery
Malkin out indefinitely with knee
Letang pulled his vagina and return uncertain
Where you reading this info? I see ....
Crosby - Expected to be out until at least Oct 23
Malkin - Questionable for start of season (this is a shame as Malkin really only shines anymore when Crosby is out)
LeTang - As much as I criticized him the past several years I thought LeTang played pretty well second half of the season. Being his last year on his contract I'd expect a big year for him. He recently advised the Penguins he has no desire to go elsewhere.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:The BlueJackets have un-invited Zac Rinaldo to their training camp for this season. The reason? He refuses to get vaccinated.
At 31 years old he should've just retired but no one would care. This way he gets his name in the news once again and for the last time!
In other NHL News.....I received an email about the special on Amazon Prime Video - All Or Nothing: Toronto Maple Leafs
https://www.primevideo.com/detail/amzn1.dv.gti.00b38ef3-3070-456d-8ec8-362aa4c4289a
Since it's the Leafs it's a safe bet to say it will be NOTHING!
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Malkin out aprox 2 months as of today
That just means he misses out on 6 weeks with Crosby being out. My prediction, this will be Malkin lowest pts per game season.
If I’m wrong I’ll come back and edit this post! 
4-1 habs over leafs……too soon to call the leafs season or do u wait till the next pre season game????
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:It’s over Mesz
I thought so.
On a positive note, LeTang isn’t a minus tone that!
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Carey Price stepping away from the Habs to enter the player assistance program.
Will miss the start of the season.
He took the Finals loss hard!!!
Starting the season on a high (abv) note.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I got me some cheap Saskatchewan beer for tonight!![quoted image]
It's all about the taste.....not the price! PROST!
Quoted from beergut666:I rarely drink during the week these days, except for holidays. Opening day of the season for sure counts as one. Cheers gents and here's to a great season!
[quoted image]
yeah me either ...... PROST
Quoted from ImNotNorm:It's the powerhouse Sens with the recently signed Brady Tkachuk!!
Who’s not playing lol
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:How are the high rollers at the Casino? Spy!
Stop picking on me or I’m not taking you to the game when luch gives me tickets
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Leafs are fine...don’t worry guys.
They're atop their division ..... what could go wrong?
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Sorry folks ..had a few drinks ..wrong play
Have to be honest
Pens Leafs tomorrow......whats the bet?
Quoted from luch:$10 buck donation in the winners name to pinside , i'll take the leafs , you in ?
To be clear 10USD or 12.37CAD 
Quoted from luch:yes i understand ! you in or you out ?
In ..... man Leafs fans so testy
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I'm out. Can't afford that kinda money. Lol
We all have our limits!!!
Quoted from luch:just made my donation to pinside in meSz name , man the leafs suck !
Appreciate it! If you're up for it, Nov 20 is next game. Chance for redemption but I would advise against it!
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:...or lose by a touchdown
In Pittsburgh it's known as the "Chili Goal" when the Pens score 7 goals!
Quoted from luch:your on ! as George W Bush said so famously !
He had such a way with words!
Quoted from luch:leafs $18.65 large draft !
WTF that's ridiculous! For a team that's playing like the Leafs beer should be $2 a beer so you can forget about how bad they're playing!
Seriously I could see a team that doesn't have great attendance charging more for concessions so they can makeup for lost ticket sales. BUT the Leafs, correct me if I am wrong, have a long waiting list for tickets? At 18$ per beer they should give you Vaseline on the side!
and when you see goals like the second one that Carolina just scored on the Leafs..... beer should be free!
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Damn! Right on Mesz...that’s awesome! I want a large pens jersey please . Trade for leafs
Seems to be a really unfair trade. Can you get me a bottle of Blanton's Reserve to even it up?
In all seriousness, if anyone can get a bottle of this and is willing to ship it to me let me know.
Blantons (resized).jpgQuoted from ImNotNorm:Rumor is Quenville out in Florida and Tortorella in. (Joe Paterno comes to mind)
I love the Torts BTW.
Tort's TV career comes to a quick end if true....but it's probably for the best as it's only time before he says something completely stupid that gets him fired from ESPN anyhow!
Public Service Announcement - Center Ice is currently charging 59.99 here in the States for the rest of the year!
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:I don’t think getting crosby and Malkin back is gonna make a difference with these pens....it’s been a helluva run. Looking forward to them going bankrupt again in a few years and threatening to leave the ‘burgh ..only to get another number one draft pick phenom who will once more save the Penguins and keep them in town. That seems to be the cycle for the franchise.
What happened to you? You're the one that gave me Scheisse about saying the same thing the past few years!!!!!!
Keep in mind that the Pens are without Crosby, Malkin, Dumoulin and they just got back LeTang and Rust. Pettersson has also just cleared Covid.
Pens only have 3 reg loses (man I hate the way the NHL does this) and are 8 points out of first.
Drink!
Alright Leaf fans who's in for tonight's game? luch you going again? Do same as last time, loser makes donation to Pinside!
Quoted from luch:not going to the game , have to ref rep hockey tonight , but i'll take your bet , $10 to pinside in winner's favour . i'll take the Leafs , you get Pizzaburg !
Only true Leafs fan here, you’re on!
Quoted from luch:captain Tavares
Leafs I just shake my head at. They have some very good talent on the team but just can’t put it together. This might be the time where u can say it’s the coach.
Quoted from hwyhed:At least the habs made a move, and got an experienced president/gm. My owners, the Aquilini’s haven’t pulled the plug on Benning & coach Green yet. There’s some talent on this team, but they’re grossly underachieving. And, the pk is historically bad/fn brutal
Penguins aren't there yet (hey we have the best pk in the league) but are 2 years away from being the cellar team. In Pittsburgh it seems to be the same story for the Penguins and Steelers, try to continue to win with aging star players while making no acquisitions for the future.
Five years ago the Penguins had one of the top teams in the league as well as in the minors, today not so.
(before anyone mentions the Pirates, keep in mind we're talking about professional sports and not minor league teams)
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:They had more hits than SOG! Very un-penlike[quoted image]
7 Giveaways cant be right. They had that in the 3rd alone!
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:I used to run a lot..drink vegetable juice at 5 k
I used to run a lot......to the bar then I moved to CA where you can just order alcohol online and have it delivered!
What were we talking about?
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:I still have to look for your fancy booze ..you mean “ordered to California”
Nope, I live in CA now 90% of the time.
As for “fancy booze” I assume you’re speaking of the Blanton’s Reserve (green label)? It’s not fancy per se it’s regular bourbon but the Reserve is made specifically for Canada and, I believe, Australia.
Mike Yeo taking over in Philly! Always liked Yeo just hasn't found the right team yet. Unfortunately today you're not allowed to yell or discipline players that make millions so I expect him not to last long in Philly before the likes of Giroux and Couturier start complaining.
Quoted from poppapin:Especially if they continue playing like last night. Holy shit, I took out the trash at 10min of 1st period, it was tied 1-1, came in 5 min later it was 4-1 Avs. WTF
Yeah but 5 min after that it was 4-3. Flyers scored 5 goals and still lost the game. Too many asinine penalties.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Called it! Just call the game already. No need for the remaining 2 periods.
Could be 3-1 leaf’s with 30 seconds left in the game and they could still lose.
It's not even a matter of listening. The thing that gets me is the NHL was making an ordeal out of going back to ESPN. ESPN is televising very few games here in the States and when they do it's only games at 10pm (West coast) games. Stephen A. Smith is ESPNs biggest name and he does not talk hockey whatsoever on his show.
NBC Sports use to have Two for Tuesday (game at 7 and 10PM) and Wednesday Rivalry where they showcased some of the bigger matchups in primetime. ESPN shows Wrestling in primetime!
I am with ya on the not listening to all the banter. I have a stream service that broadcast in HD/4K and when the broadcast goes to commercial or in between periods I just see a screen with the NHL logo and the words "commercial break".
Being reported that NHL will be suspending the season. Also, pulling out of the Olympics is more than likely.
Quoted from Jmckune:Where are you seeing the NHL season will be suspended? I see they are considering withdrawing from Olympics but according to Chicago’s the Athletic, NHL season is not yet under consideration for any postponement
[quoted image]
Actually saw it on TSN late last night. They stated that the Olympics were not going to happen especially with the latest announcement that anyone that test positive for CoVID while at the Olympics will be required to remain in the country for 5 weeks. TSN then went on to say the NHL held meeting late yesterday to discuss suspending the season if the cases continue to rise.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:NHL season has been "paused" from Dec 22-26th.
Technically 22-23 as there were no games scheduled for the 24-26th to begin with. But, this is only the beginning.
Quoted from finnflash:No one roots for the Coyotes, not even the Coyotes
Yes they do, they root that the coyotes will move out of AZ
Quoted from curban:Pens peaking a bit early this year. Oh well, at least Malkins return should bring ‘em back down to earth.
So true
So any of you guys happen to have a 1963 Bally Table Hockey machine in your collection? Looking for a picture of the underside of the playfields where the goals are.
Good to see Malkin prove Blitz and I wrong! First game back and he comes up with 3 points on the night. His line had all 4 goals. It's only one game but he looked strong in skating and all especially for an ACL surgery.
bacon you ever consider not cheering for the Leafs and then, just maybe, they would have a winning season? Burn that Leaf's jersey and put on a Oilers jersey!
Quoted from jumpyg1258:The Leafs don't have the cap space for The Phil.
Not to mention that Phil prefers the hot dogs in the States as opposed to N of the border.
Quoted from hwyhed:I always thought that he was a burger guy..Dave nonis always reminded me of the big boy logo
[quoted image][quoted image]
PKHD (resized).pngQuoted from cdnpinbacon:Luch can back me up on that.
Luch is busy selling his Elvira machine so he can help the Leafs with their cap
Quoted from TheLaw:If Jarry keeps playing like that I believe
This is one position that is a concern for the Pens as if Jarry doesn't play they don't have a backup. DeSmith with a 3.47 GAA in 8 games is rough. Would still like to see the Pens get a big Defensive Defenseman but overall the team they have is solid.
Blitz you may not want to read this next part ..... LeTang have been playing solid. He'll always have his LeTank moments on D but I think he's been solid and playing his best hockey since his surgery!
Pens played 1 good period tonight and collapsed. Malkin had a tough game. He turned the puck over 3 times on one PP for which 2 led to breakaways.
Need to revise my concern list, an improved PP is needed more than anything. The pens work hard and move the puck when even strength. They get a PP and literally stand in one place then try to pass the puck across the rink.
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:See…there’s where you err’d… I agree, Letang is having a great season with Rierden. But you can’t mention it or acknowledge it out loud. Did you see him and Dumoulin get schooled last night to make the game 4-2 off the faceoff 10 seconds after going down 3-2?
PS… Geno is fully back with the dumb penalty
[quoted image][quoted image]
Yeah LeTank had a bad game, agree!
Malkin was just unreal. On that one PP that he gave the puck away 3 times..it was literally the same play where he tried to pass the puck from one side of the ice to the other through two of the Kings players. 2 of the 3 he didn't even put anything behind the passes and lobbed the puck. Easily picked off by the Kings.
Old men (resized).jpgQuoted from bjab:GO KNIGHTS GO !
Like I said before....DON'T count them out !
and how did that work out for ya last night?
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I'll be wearing this hat but in forest green. [quoted image]
Finally a reason to watch an Oilers game!
Quoted from hwyhed:Pretty nice seats Hue. They alllowing 50% capacity there? That’s what they’re doing here..season tix holders get 1st dibs here, and I still don’t know how they figure out who’s in..
No, that’s the usual amount of people that attend Oilers game….
Sorry Hue, couldn’t resist!
Hue, cameras facing your direction. You gotta get closer to da ice!!!
Quoted from hwyhed:Panthers are for real man..fun team to watch. Oilers d/goaltending sure is struggling lately.
Oilers outshooting Panthers 2-1. Oilers just can’t put the “brisket in the basket”.
Anyone hear from Hue today? After that game I am wondering if someone should do a welfare check on him?
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:So Evanser Kane says all the right things but teammates want him gone from multiple teams???
Hopefully this guy matures..this is his Last chance
No it's not. Just like Antonio Brown will be picked up by another team once things simmer down. Kane and Brown both are good players with long history of issues but if a team can sign them for less money they will.
People tend to forget about a players personal stuff as long as the put up good numbers. I always go back to Ray Lewis (as stated before), this guy plead bargained out of murder charges and the NFL made him their MVP poster boy
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Yeah good point Mesz. The Dollar reigns not the character ...not a body check at you just the realization youre right
You drinking again?? If so PROST
8972D9F6-D12E-4195-B556-974346A23B54 (resized).jpegQuoted from ImNotNorm:Not a peep in this thread about the all star weekend. Lol, love it.
Resort to the old saying .... if you have nothing good to say don't say anything at all!
Also, bacon will yell at me!
Well the Penguins should go on a winning streak for the next two weeks.....he's on Covid protocol! Must be sleeping with Ovie
Quoted from hwyhed:I can’t be the only 1 waiting for the trade deadline..J. Rutherford, and new gm Allvin must have an idea what the Canucks are..what to do w JT Miller? We’re against the cap, and changes have to be made. It’s gonna get interesting here in the couve..
Unfortunately for you Rutherford looks at 30 year old players as young kids these days. He loves getting players he once had back under him. And when it doesn't pan out he'll just quit and blame the players.
OK so onto positive news......did I mention Malkin has Covid
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:I’d like to see a new group of protestors hit the streets in Canada…bring back the original conference and division names. Wales vs Campbell, Norris, Smythe, Patrick, Adams. Screw Bettman!!!! Take it to the streets, all you hosers!!!
Just make certain that you wear mask while doing it!
I never understood the Division/Conference name changes. I always though some day they would change but it would be due to companied paying to have their name associated with it (i.e. Labatt Division, Budweiser Division would be under the Tampex Conference). and wtf is the "Metropolitan" division anyhow???
Quoted from hwyhed:And our gas prices..this didn’t fill up my truck yesterday!
[quoted image]
We're not that far apart. Here that amount of petro would cost 102.80 (CAD). The kick in the Jimmy for us here is the fact that I can look off the coast and see 4 oil rigs that bring in petro to the refinery less then 30 min drive from where I live.
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:Aaaaahahahahahaha!!!!!! Marchand let a goalie get his goat last night!!!! Love it!!![quoted image]
OK luch or anyone .... betting time! I say Marchand gets 2 games or less (I feel he'll just get a fine). $10 bet with winnings to Pinside under winners name! For me, a sucker punch and blatant high stick to the throat/face, the NHL will see no issue with it. Especially with no injury!
Quoted from luch:but i will take the leafs to win on the 17th , $5 donation , these US donations are like adding up !
Deal!
Quoted from luch:but i got to love the acting by Jerry the goalie , with the academy awards coming up , he's a contender !
Especially since you know Marchand still uses a Junior sized stick!
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:Definitely getting more than 2 games
We betting on this?
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Habs fired Ducharme.
What was the last good coach for the Habs? I thought Randy Cunneyworth was a good fit......only if he spoke French ehh?
Quoted from ImNotNorm:He speaks French. That's the only thing that matters.
That was my point with Cunneyworth, he was let go for no other reason then he didn't speak French..... just like 94.4% of the rest of the world!
No offense to the French speaking population.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I speak French and take no offense. It's the truth.
You should apply for the Habs coaching job then. You have the most important requirement!
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I drove through the island of Montreal in July and have no desire to return.
I wouldn't go that far! One thing I've learned through the years is, every town/city/state/country has it's pros and cons. Once you've lived it a place for so long things become common nature. You grow not to appreciate them as you see it every day!
I've been to Toronto, Quebec, Sheerwood, Saint-Georges and a few others ... all had some great qualities to them, Tried to go to Calgary next month but all the restrictions we had to bail on the trip.
Quoted from Quicksilver1:Acting aside, how the hell does Crosby, (or the entire Pens line on the ice for that matter) let Jarry get suckered and not do a thing about it? A captain like Landeskog would have fed Marchand his own teeth.
Ironically this was a newspaper story today in Pittsburgh. I've been saying this for years. The Pens have NO ONE to "answer the bell". Almost all of them walk away when stuff like this happens and teams know this. When the Pens get into the playoffs all you have to do is take runs at the better players and no one does anything EXCEPT Crosby and Malkin, the two players you don't want getting involved.
Watching that video again and the only Pens player doing anything was LeTang. Guentzel went over and said something for which Marchand responded "what are you going to do" ... absolutely nothing!
Penguins are 23rd in size in the NHL but they have some big boys that do absolutely nothing when it comes to roughness.
Quoted from jumpyg1258:The last time the Pens tried to beef up their lineup was the season after winning 2 cups. Strength has never won them cups, speed and skill has. As a Pens fan I'd rather have them concentrate on getting wins than gooning it up.
Not looking to "goon it up". Looking for someone to stand up when someone takes runs at the star players. Last few seasons all the other teams did in the playoffs was take runs at Malkin, Crosby, Guentzel and the only players willing to get physical was Malkin and Crosby. All others skated away.
Once you get physical with Malkin he's useless. He starts to take dump penalties. Rather have a player like a Reaves (just an example) doing the physical stuff and in the box as opposed to the likes of Malkin or Crosby!
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:Pens have never had a goon.
Dave Schultz
Jay Caufield
Georges Laraque
Eric Godard
Francois Leroux
Arron Asham
Just a few off the top of my head. None of the guys above were acquired by the pens for their goal scoring, play making or even bench warming capabilities!
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:Really? Are all NHL games in Canada that way?
It seems Canada has followed this pattern .... (seriously)
No fans at all (new strain is announced) They just came out of this last week I believe
500 fans for a bit
2500-5000 fans for aa bit
Full occupancy
New strain announced revert back to 0
This was the WHOLE reason there was a protest in Canada (bacon organized it) as season ticket holders had enough!
(Note: some aspects of the post writers embellishment is used)
Quoted from luch:sid who ! it's all leafs tonight !
I saw the first period, then had to make a decision of game or going out for few beers. Apparently I made the right choice!
Quoted from luch:leafs win , $5 bucks $5 bucks $5 bucks , sucker ! lol
It's coming ...... Robin's way!
Quoted from bouche03:Samuelsson was not even close to a goon...he never fought. He was a RAT. Running around playing dirty but would never drop the mitts.
Agree, they should have an Ulf trophy for this. Marchand would win it every year!
Quoted from luch:biggest rat of all time by far Ken Linesman !
Yeah if you're going to have the Rat trophy Linesman would be the one to name it after!
Also, going forward bets on games have gone up to 10$ ..... Pinside no longer will accept donations under 10$.
Quoted from hwyhed:Wtf is goin on w the leafs?
[quoted image]
They're falling!! (get it)
Quoted from Jackontherocks:Letang dumb penalty to give the Cames Ot win, thought it was a worthless call for overtime but oh well
You spelled PENALTIES wrong . The official let the first two (LeTang emblishing the "punch" to the head and the crosscheck) but after the slash the ref had enough. Don't forget the roughing call as well!
Trocheck could've been called for roughing. I think this is where people are so tired of the NHL officiating. In an OT situation you don't call Trocheck's penalty but the several by LeTang you can't let go. Most common is that the official calls, one of, LeTang's penalties but also even it up by calling Trocheck as well. This, obviously, didn't happen last night.
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:No more Marner jokes from me , I apologize to the Marner family and MLSE for any derogatory statements I have made against the Toronto Maple Leafs or MLSE.
Did you get a Cease and Desist from the Mariner family??
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Sure ..I’ll play with the MVP too and pad my stats. He’s ok
the Robbie Brown effect
Quoted from luch:i like your math , sell me something fast ! $1200 per game times 3 home games = $3600 , but that is only for the first round , the entire playoffs max out at 16 home games is $31,256 , cost
yeah but with the Leafs you dont have to worry about Rounds 2-4!
Quoted from luch:i figure if there is going to be a cup presentation for the leafs $5-10k a seat
The drawback to this is ..... it's never a guarantee.
I've always wanted to see the Penguins win a Cup. The fact they have now won 5 is crazy to think after watching them in the 70s and 80s. I mean they had no luck at all back in the day to the point they actually killed their mascot (back in the day they had a real penguin as their mascot but failed to realize they got a South African penguin and it died pneumonia)!!
Anyhow, I had Season Tickets for all 5 Cups and they won all 5 on the road! Bastards!
Need a beer!
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Like I have mentioned before...good hair bad coach.
[quoted image][quoted image]
image (resized).jpgQuoted from hwyhed:Big game here 2nite vs the caps. Nux still pushing for a playoff spot, n Ovi can pass Jagr for 3rd most goals in nhl history w 1 against 1 of his old coaches. Fans in oil country booed the great 8 a few nights ago, w all the shit that’s happening in Ukraine. Apparently Ovi still has a pix w him & Putin on his instagram?! What’s he thinking? It’ll be interesting to see, if, he scores, and how the crowd will react. Regardless, should hopefully be an entertaining game..
He still supports Putin and that was one of the reasons CCM pulled his sponsorship then the pulled all sponsorships of Russian players. But lets talk hockey instead of politics cuz politics is banned from this pinball site (still following me )
Anyone hear from bacon n luch today? Think we should do a welfare check on them after the BS no call last night that led to the Leafs defeat!
Disclaimer: I still think Matthews was an ass for complaining about the no call. Play till the whistle then complain!
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I'm rooting for a hat trick tonight for Ovie.
This coming from a guy not named Norm!
Quoted from luch:so do the leafs get a goalie come monday ? I say yes fleury it is
Harri Sater Aghhh who
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Breaking news, Mark Giordano traded to the Leafs.
Good pickup! I think this is where Leafs are really struggling more than goaltending. Leafs are in the top of the league in scoring but are middle of the pack when it comes for GA. Think a stronger D will help with the GA!
Alight got the TSN Trade Centre streaming here in the States! Waiting for the Leafs to do something that puts bacon into a bender
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:and flowers playoff % ho hum
Fleury has .912 SV% in 160 playoff games. Keep in mind vast majority of these are with the Penguins who won on offensive power. He's also won the Vezina Trophy last year. With the team the Wild have now and with Fleury ..... I like their chances!
Quoted from luch:it's the same jersey , reversible
Actually neat concept but for Leafs fans they should let you pick another NHL team so when the Leafs lose you can reverse the jersey to another team!
Quoted from wolverinetuner:Why mess with an original six team’s sweater? They better never put a smiley face in the winged wheel!
If they can make money off of it, they will!!
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:You see that little kid trying to pump up the "Trady Bunch" lol
Yeah and now the Leafs used him to open the game tonight! They'll burn that kid out real quick and the next thing you know the kid will be visiting the special home that Macaulay Culkin called home (aka rehab) for so many years!!
So watching the Leafs game and of course they have to bring up the reversible jersey and that Bieber is at the game. He had like 10 people in the box with him and I am assuming for them to go they all had to wear the smiley face Leafs jersey!!! LOLOLOLOL
So will the Leafs come out in the second period wearing the smiley face side of the jersey???
Time to switch over to the Pens game!
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Black or yellow or baby blue is not a Toronto Maple Leafs Jersey. It is maple Leaf blue and white
and the irony of that is .... an actual "maple leaf" turns a deluge of different shades of colors with the exception of blue!
So bacon were you in on the REDvolution (petition to change the leaf to red in color )
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Imagine Brian Burke approving an orange penguins jersey with a smiley face in the middle
It's getting close to that as all we need is a holiday that is orange base...
evgeni-malkin-penguins-2020-st.-patrick's-day-green-jersey-0 (resized).jpg
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:They turn blue when the Leafs win the cup. That's why you, myself, and anyone under the age of 60 doesn't recall seeing it ever.
This is the best explanation ever!!!
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Flyers are marking Keith Yandle as a healthy scratch tonight. Bringing his Ironman streak of 989 consecutive games to and end.
https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/33653964/philadelphia-flyers-end-end-keith-yandle-nhl-record-iron-man-streak
Kinda dirty to cut that streak short of 1000.
Cheeseburger Phil will probably pass Yandles streal by next year now.
[quoted image]
Agree with the Flyers sitting him for the better of the team and I am not one for playing a person for records but with the Flyers being eliminated and the rest of the team looking as bad as Yandle .... what difference are you going to make by sitting him? He can come back all rejuvenated and play harder than he has but with the team he's on it's not going to make a difference. Only good out of this is the rookie getting play time!
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Just sucks that cheeseburger Phil is going to come out the new Ironman of the NHL lol
I thought it was Hot Dog Phil?
PKHD (resized).pngBig game for Matthews with two nice goals!
Watched the Masters all day with Tiger. Good stuff! Then I thought to myself, golf is what the Pens will be doing after round 1, unfortunately!
Bossy was such a great player. Like Lemieux I can’t help but think what he would’ve done if he had been able to play longer/healthy!
On another sad note …. wtf is with the Jets?? Talk about crash n burn!! They won’t hit 20 SOG for the game!
Quoted from TheLaw:I think they have better record against the top teams than the 4th & under anyway.
Jarry situation is gonna be rough.
Agree, I think if they were to play the Rangers they would be swept. As of now they're looking at Florida. They wind up losing this position, like I think they will, they will play Avs. Avs and Pens are both two offensive teams which could be fun to watch. Still don't see Pens making it past first round.
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:What?
Only way they play the Avs is in the cup final
Let this be a lesson, don’t drink n post (it’s called the bacon rule)!
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Barkov is a Beast! Great player... You bought an Olympic Hockey Mesz? ..I have mine and looking for a repo back glass.
So far the only way to get a “repo” is going with coos
https://www.coos.net/bingo_e/backglasses.html
I emailed Shay about a screened version and he said there’s no plans to make one.
Be great to see Leaf’s / Oilers matchup in the Cup but I don’t see either getting past 2nd round.
As for my Pens, they can make tee times now for after game 4 round 1.
Quoted from TheLaw:Without Jarry I assume so as well.
But its nice losing as the underdog instead of favorite.
I don’t think Jarry is the deciding factor. DeSmith has played very well since coming in for Jarry. He has very bad D in front of him. Pens can’t even clear the puck out of their end, constant turnovers.
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Olympic hockey ,5 bumper pics for Mesz as requested..sorry carry on!
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Thanks Bacon!
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Looks like we just got 7 for the bracket challenge.
Who is VALIS666?
Damn it I missed the bracket!
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Game 1 going to OT between the Pens and Rangers!
and now doubled OT
Quoted from hwyhed:People on the east coast might be a lil tired for work 2mrw..but what an opening game to start the series.
Yeah I need to get back to the West Coast for the playoffs. Like it better when the games are all over by 930pm.
Quoted from TheLaw:The "Louie Domingue" game
A Pietrangelo Omen?
I’ve said it before, goaltending hasn’t been issue with the pens. They’ve been good but the team in front of them has struggled.
Wow Tampa how did you leave Reilly so open in front of the net and you don’t even have LeTang on D???
BTW, to give LeTang credit, you guys see his hip check?? Classic !!!
Quoted from wolverinetuner:Now the pressure is on the Leafs
I believe the pressure has been on the Leafs since the made the playoffs!
Malkin finished first round 32nd in points for which 9 of those 31 players had fewer GP. He was tied for 4th in points on the pens team with none other then Jeff Carter.
Basically malkin is getting 6 mill extra to put up Carter like numbers in the playoffs. Regular season doesn’t fair much better but Carter had more GP then Geno.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:First playoff Battle of Alberta since 1991!!
Thanks for the the double jinx Vic!!![quoted image]
So with the BoA this guarantees a Canadian team making it to the semis!
Still shaking my head at the loss!!! Not speaking if the Pens as I expected that, but the Leafs 
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:My dad and I were just shaking our heads Mesz..just don't care anymore..how embarrassing at home.
Yeah I mean we joke about a jinx but starting to believe in them.

[quoted image]
$ says it was a leafs fan!
so I am calling the Rangers and Canes the who cares series! Cuz lets face it ... other then Canes and Rangers fans who cares who wins as these are two teams that barley made it by two mediocre teams. And lets be honest, the Cane's fan base really doesn't care as they rely on opposing team's fans to sell games out) The winner of this series will be eliminated next round......easily!
BTW how's everyone doing???
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Battle of Alberta starts soon!
Gotta be better then this snoozer in NC
Quoted from sixtyfourbits:I'm no Lucic fan, but the Oilers are paying him close to a million to play against them this year. So I hope he throws the body around a bit this series haha.
The insult will be WHEN he does score against the Oilers.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I only got two beer left for this game. Geezus!!
Please explain how a Canadian is so ill prepared for a hockey game???
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I'll save them for the third period. This game is crazy!
But like I said....Calgary has this game in the bag. Anything less would be uncivilized.
This is a Beerurgency …. Go to a neighbors, they’ll understand!!
(Note: the time it took me to type this 2 goals were scored!)
Quoted from ImNotNorm:1- my wife drinks while she plays pinball.
2- my neighbour is a oiler fan and needs it more than I do at the moment.
3- there's hard stuff in the liquor cabinet if it gets crazier in the 3rd period
Go to cabinet
Quoted from ImNotNorm:If this games goes to OT I'm cracking the crown royal.
I’m predicting an Oilers blowout
Hoping Penguins are watching this game and see the benefit of just shooting the puck. Not all goals have to be pretty (not many in this game) !!
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Draisaitl coughs up the puck and barely skates to backcheck. He must be hurting because he has been coasting all night.
Or he’s been watching Malkin the last few years
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:The cloudy oracle is now clear and has chosen Florida as winners of series.
So let me translate here ....... Bacon has switched from drinking beers that are produced in brown bottles to beers produced in clear bottles. Thus the reason it's gone from "cloudy oracle" to "now clear".
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Stamkos should get a minor penalty for gloving the puck.
Agree but let me give you an NHL response....as soon as Stamkos touched the puck it deemed him having possession, the fact he picked it up is irrelevant as once possession happened the play is over!
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Left alone all in front....3 panthers coasting and not picking up their man.
Was LeTang out there?
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Must be nice when games start at 4:00 pacific time
Moving out to West Coast it took me about 2 games to get use to the 4 o'clock start times. Get to watch while working an no more after midnight games. It's still odd when they have the early afternoon games as they start at 9am here. Eggs n hockey!
Quoted from ImNotNorm:1st is ending and the SOG are pathetic.
[quoted image]
Quoted from beergut666:The Battle of Alberta can not start soon enough! This series has been a major snoozer so far.
Please see post 1359
I’ll go out on a very sturdy limb here …. Congrats to the Lightning on making it to the Finals. Only two ways the Canes beat them …
1. The Lighting plane crashes and all die. ALL must die, even if the Lighting mascot lives, do they have one, the Canes lose.
2. Canes play bores the Lighting to the point they all fall asleep.
Quoted from ccbiggsoo7:that guy will pay for what he did to binnington next game, wait and see.
Won’t change the fact that Avs will be moving on! That’s harsh reality of it.
Rust signs w Pens without going to FA.
Malkin offered 3-4 year deal at 5 mil per. Response from malkin camp ... “it doesn’t seem like (the Penguins) really want him“.
Rust getting 5 mill per year n scored, PPG, same as malkin this year so why would you pay malkin more?
Rust +7 on the season malkin -10
Seeing the "collision" with Smith last night and Binnington few nights ago makes me think bout changing the rule for hitting the goaltender. I say bring it back! My thought has always been, once I goalie leaves the crease he becomes a player. I know the rule was implemented to reduce the risk of a goalie becoming injured but if you want that to happen tell your goalie not to play the puck! You keep the rule(s) in tact for contact with a goalie when he's inside his crease but when he comes out of it to play the puck he becomes a player thus fair game (get rid of the asinine trapezoid area).
and GM from the West Coast
Valid points but if a goalie is out of his crease and someone hits him it becomes interference if he's not playing the puck. I am speaking more as to when a goalie is coming out to play the actual puck from on offensive perspective.
Not saying one way is right or wrong, just conversation! Had a lot of time to think about it during the Rangers/Canes game! 
Quoted from hwyhed:He’s not called ‘Mc Jesus’ in oil country? Guess he needs a cup 1st
I don't see the Oilers beating the Avs or the Bolts so the Cup will elude McDavid this year! That's right ... Avs n Bolts in the finals. I just saved you all from wasting time watching the next round!
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Sounds like a another jinx to me!!!
Bacon and Vic could use company
If I am wrong I'll buy all of ya a beer and dinner.
So Ranger/Canes game was pretty good....for the first 6 minutes!
(legal disclaimer: in order to take advantage of this offer of beer and dinner the recipients must be of age and appear at a bar of the posters choice in Santa Barbara, CA. by the end of 2022 during a snow storm)
Quoted from wolverinetuner:Maybe Canes should just decline power plays?
A lot of time left. I’m not sure canes are done yet!
Quoted from wolverinetuner:Wow, that Rangers goal is huge.
Yeah stick the fork in the Canes.
Good news is, an NHL game is about to start!
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:Another 15 goal game coming??
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:True... it would be his fault if they went on a skid.
Quoted from TheLaw:Hey man, can't get rid of a winning flag!
By the looks of that flag it has seen a lot of losing games.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Any predictions for tonight's game gentlemen?
I'm going with St Louis....4-3.
Avs 5-3
Quoted from TheLaw:Wow...this guy is awesome
[quoted image]
The furby convention must’ve been in town!
Quoted from ImNotNorm:OT winner predictions
Makar
Tarasenko
I’ve been wrong enough tonight, I’m out!
Sad day here on the States as Soccer is to pass hockey in viewership. This will make hockey the fifth most watched sport in the States!
Kick but I’m still trying to get over this “good goal” call when the whistle clearly is blown the play dead before the puck is even shot.
Agh the NHL
Quoted from vicjw66:Yeah. Don’t care about either team. But was a horrible call. Puck was going in the goal anyway. Was not redirected and there was no kicking motion. No matter. Neither team had any chance to hoist the cup.
I dont care either, well I do as now we're stuck with the Rangers/Canes series, but looking at the replay several times it appears the puck bounces, just before it was KICKED in, and start to go more parallel to the goal line. Not saying it wouldn't have gone in on its own but that it may have not gone in right away giving the Oilers D, who was right behind the Flames player, time to save it from going in.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:We need some input from cdnpinbacon on this controversial call.
He keeps this up I am changing my user ID to ampinbacon
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:How did you not score that bus shelter Pens poster years ago baffles me..to this day!! Lol
download (1) (resized).jpgMan Smith is just letting a lot of soft goals. I know that was a hard shot but the goals he has let in, in the playoffs, have been questionable!
How is that on sides ????
I cant see this series past 5 games. Just no D whatsoever on the Oilers side. Smith has been pulled in more games then vic has jinxed games!
Im still trying to understand that no offside call? I couldn't hear the intermission so did they explain as to why it wasnt?
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Even former NHL ref Don Koharski said it would be called back during the review.
Yeah I heard that and that's when I thought I was wrong
Not sure if anyone has this info but I would love to know what Koharski's record is with making these calls. From what I have seen of him he's wrong more then he's right. Now saying he's bad, just shows how much that judgment calling hockey refereeing is!
Quoted from finnflash:That game will have good goaltending, so I doubt we have a barn burner. Unless Tampa explodes tonight.
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:I like watching shesterkin ...FN Rangers.. move on from Hank to Shesterkin, Must be nice
He finished 15th in goaltending this year and with Tampa being the 8th overall team in goal scoring .... I dont see it low scoring at all, at least from Tampa's perspective.
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:if you play sports betting
Thinking last nights game how the NHL and all of sports, at least here in the States, spent the last two decades distancing themselves from betting and now it's like every third commercial is about betting!
Quoted from hwyhed:I’m going w a 4-3 bolts victory tonight..
I'm going with the fact that Shesterkin doesn't finish the game!
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Idk Mesz...I do think the Rangers may get stomped overall
If the Rangers win it will be like the old Devils where they play that trap (boring) style hockey. Hoping this isn't the case as prefer to watch a good game. Thus far the first two rounds the Rangers were in weren't really exciting games to watch (yeah I am including the Pens).
Quoted from hwyhed:I can still appreciate a low scoring game..a shot/deflection can turn the game around. But I prefer a good old shootout, like last nights game. Any word about Kuemper and his injury?
Oh so can I just not one where a team plays the trap the whole game.
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Over under on Avs shots..40?
Im thinking under so you may want to go with over!
Quoted from meSz:Im still trying to understand that no offside call?
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:and another offside
"The explanation for the decision essentially boils down to the fact that Makar was not in possession of the puck at the time his teammate (Valeri Nichushkin) tagged up to get back onside. The video review argued that Makar pushed the puck over the blue line from the neutral zone, then didn’t touch it again until his player was onside. Once everyone was, Makar was free to play the puck again and score the goal."
Quoted from wolverinetuner:Maybe it’s not high sticking if you let go of the stick just before it reaches the opponent’s face because you weren’t in possession of the stick at the moment of contact.
well technically if let go of the stick then you failed to maintain control over your stick so it's still a penalty.
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Go Tampa!!...Daddy needs a new pair of baby shoes!
But they wont fit!
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Why would Maroon touch that puck? What a Bonehead Mesz
Take one of the O out of his name and it will make sense!
Igor should get a diving call, Amazing how he was so hurt till no one paid attention and he gets up! By rule a hit to the head should result in him leaving the ice
Congrats to the Rangers on showing up and playing a good game. Maybe 5 or so minutes they looked blah but outside of that they played hard.
Announcers makin a big to do about how Kadri has so many more points in the playoffs with Colorado then his entire time with the Leafs. Maybe that's due to the fact he was suspended more then he played when he was with the Leafs???? MAYBE?
Quoted from wolverinetuner:Oilers passing looking for the perfect PP shot. They just need to shoot the puck!
It’s called the Penguins effect!
MAYBE the Oilers win one at home but can’t see this series going past 5 games.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Time for another one....
What's everyone drinking?

[quoted image]
That’s good luck. It means the Leafs are going to win!
Some day
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:He turned colour! .wtf does that mean??? ...wants to mate with me?
[quoted image]
No means another 50 year before a leafs cup!
Man Tampa just bad on that 4on3. Can’t pass or posses the puck.
Welp the good news is, there won’t be a lag between the semis and final round. Finals should start Thursday at the latest.
To Rangers credit, they’re just playing harder. Tampa still playing like hey we’re better and we’ll win (aka Penguins mentality)
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Who scouted Sheshterkin? ..big raise
agree, if he doesn’t incur that rookie jinx where he just fails in the finals.
Tied up
You guys are forgetting that George Parros is the head of the NHL's Department of Player Safety. It's the same if the DEA would make El Chapo the Administrator of Drug Enforcement
Quoted from ImNotNorm:If the Oilers lose tonight they will not of won a single playoff game since I purchased the hat.
#JinxConfirmed?
You still have the receipt? Maybe you can hurry up and return it before tonight's game!
Obviously at this point the seller doesn't want it back in inventory!
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Just saw my neighbour outside between periods. He said, "fuck these clowns, they mailed it in. I'm going to get a haircut."
And he got in his car and left. Looks like he gave up on the Oilers.
Well to the Oilers benefit they didn’t score the kiss of death first goal!
Quoted from Colsond3:Oilers need to stop trying to be pretty, and just start throwing shit at the net.
You watching the pens game????
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I hope I catch him between periods see what he says after 3-1.
Don’t engage with him just yet. IF the Oilers would win you need to toilet paper his entire residence!
(Note the big IF)
Quoted from Colsond3:They should’ve blown the whistle on that. Bullshit goal.
puck was never covered!!
Urinating Tree is hard at work tonight
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Called the oilers implosion. Lol
Burn the hat on your neighbor’s driveway NOW
Quoted from meSz:Koharski just got fired
Shots are even but man Tampa is flying. Hope the can sustain this as most teams that come out flying can’t.
The Rangers from the first two series showed up tonight.
Hard to believe shots are even as it’s been all Tampa
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Disgusting.
Trouba says there’s nothing wrong with that hit. The NHL Players Safety has suspended the fan for 1 game.
Quoted from Cobray:To do what they're doing in the salary-cap era, losing players
But let’s not forget that Tampa manipulated the salary cap last year thus had a lot of top players on their team that they shouldn’t have. Smart of them to sit those players on IR then bring them back for the playoffs as they would’ve been over the cap
Quoted from Cobray:Wow, I though only bitter fans thought of things that way. lol. I don't see it that way at all. Kucherov was injured almost the entire season and couldn't play because of legit hip surgery.. some hockey players are never the same or can never play again after something like that. The fact he sat is a stretch to call "salary cap manipulation" IMO. If you look at the circumstances, the Chicago Blackhawks and many teams have been under the same circumstances AND went on to win cups. And, it's LEGAL. Imagine saying you want to sit Sidney Crosby or Ovechkin the entire season, just to bring him in at the beginning of the playoffs so you can manipulate the cap- a cold player coming off delicate surgery inserted into the fastest, most critical part of the season, all while not having that talent to get you there. Makes no sense.
The Lightning have been able to replace entire lines of people they lost due to cap problems, only to keep the train rolling... seems like they know what they are doing, no? And if it's legal, I'd put it on all of the other teams to figure it out!
Not bitter at all and props to Tampa for doing it but let's not make it out that they struggled with players. I am hoping Tampa wins it. Be nice to see a, so called, Dynasty team as we just dont see it that often anymore.
The key point you fail to mention is that Kucherov was able to come back for the last week of the regular season but it would've put them over the cap so they let him stay on IR. It was the smart thing to do as they didn't need to worry about making the playoffs.
