It's just like Philadelphia to fuck up a good thing. I'd much rather see Ovechkin continue playing... Fuck that city... they never win shit anyway...

Yep, a Pittsburgh/Washington matchup would have been fantastic IMO, especially with the Crosby/Ovechkin storyline.

Ah well, both of those teams will be back in the playoffs.

4/23/2008 1:13:52 AM

^^ not the same matchup it once was

4/23/2008 1:23:52 AM

I dunno you've got some old faces back. Forsberg in Denver again. McCarty back in Motown with the rest of the grind line from the late 90's.

Somebody needs to step up with a massive hit in game 1 to re-ignite this thing.

4/23/2008 1:27:40 AM

Can't you just feel a McCarty hit on Forsberg in the opening minutes??

Then Foote gives a lil payback with a nice slash to Zetterberg or Datsyuk

4/23/2008 1:30:29 AM

You've also got Osgood in Detroit and Adam Foote back in Colorado, but its still not the same. I'd love to see the two teams go at it again, but lately it hasn't been happening. Maybe something will change in the playoffs...

Flyer fans are pure class:

Thus I still hate the entire Bush family. I would've considered liking her if she were a Canes fan. Stupid whore.

What is "NHL hockey player old enough to be my father"?

I'll take "Former Pittsburgh Penguins turned New York Rangers" for $2000

off topic, but ahl game goes to 5 overtimes.

4/25/2008 12:49:11 PM

An AHL game that featured the Canes' backup for next season, Michael Leighton, making 98 saves.

4/25/2008 1:46:51 PM

^no friggen way we keep leighton. he's a UFA.

4/25/2008 2:49:54 PM

I don't see why not. We have a spot and he surely isn't going to be a starter anywhere next year.

4/25/2008 2:59:55 PM

He's never been able to stick in the show. He'll sign a modest contract for a shot to legitimately push an NHL #1.

4/25/2008 3:05:52 PM

He has also never had a real chance to stick in the NHL. His only significant time was with Chicago and he didn't fare any better than any other goalie that suited up for that god-awful team. The rest of his callups are where he was simply the 3rd man out and never given a legitimate shot to challenge for a spot. I hope we sign him, as I think he can push Cam just enough without bringing him down too much.

4/25/2008 3:19:15 PM

Jarome Iginla would hit it

4/25/2008 7:22:40 PM

Pens 2 goals in 14 secs.

4/25/2008 8:22:26 PM

Great game!

4/25/2008 9:34:05 PM

Wow off the post! A quarter of inch the other way and it would have been in.
