The city of Toronto gets to appoint a couple people to the Board of Directors of the Hockey Hall of Fame. It was recently disclosed that in December, they appointed noted drunk and crack-smoker, Rob Ford.

Times are a getting desperate. Gotta cheer for the Canucks tonight.

Fucking Pens' choking asses cost the Wings a chance to clinch.

Post by **brian** » Tue Apr 07, 2015 9:16 pm

Sens 4, Pens 3. F-OT.

The team needs a overhaul. They are lazy, uncoachable, and gutless.

I agree tho, it will never happen... I seriously can't see a big name coach coming to Pittsburgh with these prima-Donas coach killers on the roster.

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Tue Apr 07, 2015 11:36 pm

Sitting in the SaddleDome we couldn't not believe the Sens came back.

Then later a Go Oilers chant started.

Unreal. Flames are 2 points from the playoffs!

Not much to cheer a Sharks fan these days but seeing the Kings lose ground tonight does help!

Pens are really screwing up what could be some great eastern matchups. Does anyone not want to see Boston at Montreal or a rematch from two years ago of the Islanders and Penguins?

Caps appear to be loose going into the playoffs....Pranking rookies and beating up on Beantown.

which means they are going to go out in the 1st round in 7 games like most years

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Thu Apr 09, 2015 6:52 pm

This is it tonight. GO FLAMES GO!!!

Knock the champs out!!!!!

Rooting against your team in a game during a season they're making the playoffs is lots of fun.

I legit don't know who I'm rooting for Ottawa to knock out.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 9:15 am

Every time a Pittsburgh team sucks or disappoints its always because they are gutless cowards who don't play the game right or some shit.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 9:45 am

I despise that type of fan, where their team can't get beaten, they must lose.

24 straight trips to the postseason for the Red Wings. This one will be a very short one.

No way we'll ever see a team make 20+ straight postseasons again in our lifetimes. With SJ not making it this year, I think the next longest streak is the Pens at 7-ish?

ETA: Looked it up. Pens at 8 and Bruins at 7. And obviously one of those streaks is likely over after this year.

You don't think a team can finish in the top 3 of a 5 team division 20 times in a row (and sometimes top 4)?

Aren't there a minimum of 7 teams in each division?

I mean, if the rules change to expand the playoffs to 10 teams in each conference or some shit like that maybe, but I'll stand by my statement. No team (including those with active streaks) will make it 20 straight years again in our lifetimes.

Oh yeah. Nevermind.

Congrats on making the playoffs, Degen! Now, you can start working up the bile hatred for Vancouver (not too hard for Calgary people). Which city will be the one rioting and burning couches in the street in a couple weeks?

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 1:05 pm

We dont riot.

Shirts off for Kipprusoff

Show your cans for Monahan

degen - congrats! i never thought they'd have a shot but they've been pretty damn exciting the last few months.

too lazy to look up: when was the last time 5 Canadian teams made the playoffs?

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 6:00 pm

2004 - Calgary, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 8:38 pm

Nothing says postseason like MAF taking it down a notch.

MaxWebster · Post by **MaxWebster** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 11:57 pm

All y'all can argue about your teams in the playoffs and yet only 2 teams this year are 100% meeting their goals. Whoever wins the Cup (yawn)...

and your Buffalo Sabres.

Thank you and good night!

Six more days until the Sharks win the McDavid lottery.

Travis Hamockery should be the name of our NHL Playoff Pool mascot

i was thinking about how to weave our Trav into that one myself.

Form Flame and Sabre. Was a huge part of the Flames 2004 run.

Sounds like post post-concussion symptoms. So sad :(

Don't click this if you want to continue blissfully hating Daniel Carcillo...

Poignant. Particularly with hockey players, it's surprising how often guys who seem like asses when they're on the ice seem like really great guys when they're off the ice.

Thanks for posting, Rass.

I'm sure Zac Rinaldo will call him a pussy for that then wait until he's not looking to slash away.
