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

    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?

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

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    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.

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

    He gets it.

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

    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...

    Carrie Underwood knows the NHL has a lot of fighting.

    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.
