Nice win

They better show up tonight against the Ice Chickens !!

up 5-3. :thumbup:

oooooooooops 6-4 (had the BCS game on also)

You guys are on fire.
Now if someone could tell that assclown Carcillo that you aren't supposed to celebrate when you get manhandled....

when did carcillo get manhadled?

anyways, that was a nice win agaist an upper echelon team

too bad Toronto stole a goal from Gagne. It was clearly in the net. Anybody know were the war room in toronto gets it's replay shots? from what is broadcast on tv???? it was funny how they showed the replay that clearly showed the puck in the net AFTER the goal was disallowed. seemed the commentators knew as well (i had the pitt feed) because they kept saying they thought the penguins were going to catch a break.

I like JVR, and hope he gets more ice time. he is going to be a good player, or at least he should be considering he was the number 2 pick in the 07 draft.

anyways, good win.

Did you watch the toronto-flyers game?
He didn't get beaten to a pulp because there were only a few punches thrown, but he quite obviously lost and was flung around like a ragdoll.

i saw that. not sure i would say either player won or lost. most of the fights that night were like that.

Sorry, pretty obvious he was on the losing end of that one. I know you're a fan so I'll let it slide that you can't admit it

i have to admit, i don't recall that specific fight, however, a take down doesn't = fight win. i remmber the hartnall "fight" where they just layed on the ice and held each other and one other fight where there were a punch or two thrown and then the Leafs guy was falling down and pulled the Flyer guy down with him.

i would admit if a flyer lost a fight. unlike a lot sports fan, i try to be objective when watching a game, even when it involves one of my teams.

oh, and the TSN annoucers were the worst i've heard all season. don't know if they were the toronto guys or just biased, but they sure enjoyed bashing the Flyers.

most annoucers across the league do a good job of not being total homers

I don't usually watch the Toronto games on TSN (I actually try not to watch them at all, but whatever) but the TSN guys are usually pretty good. I find that they usually aren't really biased, per se, but they (Pierre Mcguire) talk way too much, and usually go overboard on 'look how much I know about hockey'.

Sorry, when I said I found them 'pretty good' I meant in terms of bias.
As far as announcers go I find them quite annoying.
