OT Pittsburgh Penguins @ Nashville Predators Stanley Cup Finals Series Thread

[Mediocre Man]

LOL quality slashing. No one looking to the refs crying like a bitch. Just hit back.

Nashville puts on a great show. This arena is so loud.

Not a big fan country music, but it's such a nice change to hear the anthem sung like it was written.

And out come the catfish

Pittsburgh's passing and puck handling is ridiculous. I was hoping for San Jose last year but after the first few games I was like, "Oh. They are fucked."

Ya. Pittsburgh is so skilled. Nashville probably faster and more physical......I wonder how many games Lebron would need to rest during the season with guys sprinting as fast as they could at him, then launching into him?

 

[BigGameDamian]

very physical. Lots of hard hits early.

 

[BigGameDamian]

The commentators always sound so excited during the game and rightfully so. They don't have to reach for things to talk about.

Damn, this is incredible. It's better at being basketball than basketball is! Such shooting and passing, like only men can shoot and pass. I'd like to see Durant handle a 120 MPH puck aimed at his face when he rose for a jumpshot LOL Am I right, guys? *high five* It's also super competitive. Won't see great teams here, that would be lame.

By the way, what sport is this?

It's called hockey. The NHL has been around since 1917. That's 100 years for those mathletes, and 30 years longer than the NBA. YOUR very own Portland Rosebuds were the first American team to compete for the Stanley Cup.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Preds score first. Getting chippy

 

[Mediocre Man]

Barkley is there. He'll be on in the second intermission.

He gets it.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Pens score on a break away to tie things up at 1. 1:06 after the first gial. Nice quick response

 

[Mediocre Man]

Cross check to the face while he's laying on the ground. LOL, refs letting them play

That's like stepping on someone's face while not stopping. If you did that in the NBA you would be suspended and fined.

I think you might be more insecure about the NHL than I am about the MLB and the NFL...

 

[BigGameDamian]

Carrie Underwood knows the NHL has a lot of fighting.

Ya, it's a beautiful game. Hopefully people tune in.

 

[Mediocre Man]

LOVE the live band during intermission. Better idea than pumped in canned music. I remember......Kool and the Gang???? playing during some Blazer game. That was fun

Neat. Googling it, there doesn't seem to be much mention of hockey on the Internet, but I'll take your word for it.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Rinne with an incredible save. Oh my!!!

 

[BigGameDamian]

What a save!!

 

[BigGameDamian]

Very exciting!!

You always have tomorrow, with the ISO's, flopping and players bitching at tge refs all night, to look forward to.

 

[Mediocre Man]

That's a goal for the Preds

Thought it was an incredible save at first for Murray

Wednesday, actually. I wish there was an NBA Finals game on tonight.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I bet Adam Silver, David Sturn, Stu Jackson and Kiki Vandeweghe are watching.

Me too

Why do you think that?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Haha...Great by both. Barkley crashed the Gretzky press conference and asked who his favorite black athlete is, and Gretzky, without hesitation says Grant Fuhr....who was his goalie in Edmonton

 

[Mediocre Man]

Those saves by Rinne were ridiculous. How did the puck stay out of the net?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Looks like at least 6 of these games. FUCK YA

 

[Mediocre Man]

Barkley loves the uncertainty of hockey. For those not aware, or more likely not caring, Nashville was an 8 seed. Actualky 16 seed. Worst team into the playoffs.
