Tonight is make or break for the Leafs. I totally gave up on them after 20 years about four years ago. I'm back on the bandwagon but a wise one who understands they could easily collapse tonight. Still, I'm hoping for the best, if they play like game 2 then everything will be okay.
What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it brings forth a sound (2112)
My user name shows my allegiance in an obvious way, but I have to admit, I am probably the only Ranger Fan that enjoys watching the explosive Islanders (Ice Landers - thanks Steve Sommers) except of course their games against the Rangers.
Is anyone outside of the Pittsburgh Metro Area at all surprised by the complete lack of class at the end of last night's game? The only surprise was that some of it was provided by Morrow and Iginla, who I always considered classy players. Malkin's facewash, completely expected. Crosby's tackle "From Behind No Less" of one of the Islanders, seen it before. Kuniz's 3rd man in, thought it was Cook for a second (suddenly thought of Savard - Karlson), yeah, no surprise.
Torts is right. They are an unbelievably arrogant team. They cry if Malkin, Crosby, et al are even touched, but then they do this "crap".
With 2 minutes left, I turned to my wife and said "watch, the Penguins are going to goon it up at the end". Shortly after, Morrow pounded an Islanders head into the ice repeatedly (right in front of a ref no less). Then the ruckus at the end.
I am now rooting for the Islanders almost as much as my Rangers. To any Islander fans who belong, thank you for a wonderful night last night, I loved it. Take the next two and finish it.
Years and years ago, I played on a tourney team with Jack Cappuano's older brother Dave, so I really don't have much guilt about rooting for the Islanders.
Oh man! What a game! Leafs are up 2-0 at the end of the 1st. Then they give up 3 in the 2nd. Down 2-3. Hubby says, "It's over. They're done". Then less than a minute later, the Leafs score and TIE IT UP!. 3-3 at the 2nd intermission. What a roller coaster! I can't wait to see what happens in the third period!

I can't describe how much I despise Crosby and the coddling he gets from the league and the media that covers it.

Rangers were up 2-0 but Caps have tied it just before the end of the second period.

Oh man. Fraser just got hit in the face with a slap shot. Blood on the ice and straight to the dressing room. That's gonna leave a mark!

That story is big news here. The principal and the teachers should be disciplined IMO. It's their responsibility to teach acceptance and keep the other kids from bullying this girl. Not bully her themselves.
Here's another not-so-nice story. I heard a radio interview with him this morning. The Leafs organization reached out to him and gave him tickets to tonight's game.
And the media wants you to think this only happens in Philly.

Caps just let in two goals. Talk about shitting up a game.

Yeah, well the Leafs just lost in OT. Damn.
I guess the good news is that if they lose on Friday I won't have a Survivor Finale/Hockey conflict on Sunday.
Red Wings-Ducks about to start ot. Cool.

Ducks / Redwings in another dogfight. Back to the Joe on Friday. I still think the Wings have a shot. They are playing well. Three shots hitting the post did not help tonight.

"My user name shows my allegiance in an obvious way, but I have to admit, I am probably the only Ranger Fan that enjoys watching the explosive Islanders (Ice Landers - thanks Steve Sommers) except of course their games against the Rangers.'
You're definitely not the only one. I've enjoyed watching the Fish Sticks all season long. In fact, very often I find myself watching them and saying, "Fuck me, I wish the Rangers would play like that with the puck" (defensively, ill stick with Rangers) That series is incredibly entertaining.
Rangers looked seriously good last night even with the heart attack-inducing last 5 minutes. Of all the 4 games this one was easily their most dominant. Holtby kept them in it in the first 2 periods. <knocks wood> the boys really seem to be firing on all cylinders now and hope to keep it going in Wash.

I posted that not for the sweet goal, but for the absolutely pathetic backchecking job by Ovechkin

Well if my husband didn't hate Phaneuf before last night (which he did), that turnover would have been the nail in the coffin.
And if you watch the second video closely, Cuthbert rolls her eyes first and Mrs. Reimer responds. I don't think it's what the media is trying to make it out to be. Although, even I have to admit, it would be a great cat-fight!

I get that same feeling but just like with football along with my love for the sport and the excitement and entertainment it provides draws me back.
Come on Scott there's been plenty of documented instances with Philly fans and not just in hockey... one that comes to mind is last years winter classic! You can make the argument that hanging around in Philly bars hours after the game with a Ranger jersey on is asking for trouble but my son was at that game and as soon as the Flyers were losing they started getting pelted with objects from behind and being antagonized while in their seats. And they weren't in the nosebleed section either these were field level seats.And the media wants you to think this only happens in Philly.
I'll third that with watching the Islanders very exciting games coupled with the fact that I love to see Sid and Pens go out in the first round."My user name shows my allegiance in an obvious way, but I have to admit, I am probably the only Ranger Fan that enjoys watching the explosive Islanders (Ice Landers - thanks Steve Sommers) except of course their games against the Rangers.'

No doubt Ranger's intensity has picked up especially with the offense with the exception of Nash who is seriously struggling.
NY hockey is just better when the Isles and Rangers are both doing well. Who cares about the Devils anyway? ;-)
Go Islanders! Bring down Bettman's evil scheme!!
The officiating all around has been dreadful.

Blah, blah, blah. Whatever.
I've been to Rangers games at the Garden and have received the same treatment. Philly gets a bad rap - this shit happens everywhere.

Holy crap! I just got home from grocery shopping and turned on the Sens/Habs game. 6-1 Sens with about 3 minutes left. Not looking good for Montreal.
