Cannot make this stuff up. Penalty called. He cries, as usual. He actually sits in the box. And they talk and take him out of the box. Funny sh*t. Eddie O just said first time I have ever seen a guy sit in the box and then get taken out. Comical stuff. NHL and Cindy...
The Pens have played well since the AS break. Give them credit. I also think I like the Preds and Ducks better than the Hawks in the West. I haven't loved how they have been playing the last month or so.
Nash may be the best player in the NHL right now. He clearly would be a top 3 finalist for the MVP if the season ended today. Long way to go though. Pens lose in the SO, so they are 2 up on us BUT we have 2 games in hand AND we already own the ROW TB despite playing 2 less games. Big game tomorrow night.
These teams just won't go away. Pens get a point at the Hawks and the Caps win at the Ducks on the 2nd night of a back to back. Damn. 4 behind the Isles with 2 games in hand. 2 behind the Pens with 2 games in hand. 1 ahead of the Caps with 3 games in hand. We own the ROW TB on all despite playing less games AND we have 28 games left.
The Pittsburgh team should have the Peacock insignia on their jerseys. NBC sure loves promoting the Pen team.
I think I wanted the Pens to win tonight, but # 1 I know I wanted one team to win in regulation, so happy the Caps scored with 4 minutes left. That team is lethal on the PP. If you don't have a good PK you will get rolled by them. This Met division is going to be a battle down to the wire. Right now if I was a betting man I'd say Isles/Rangers battle for 1 & 2. Pens and Caps battle for 3 & 4. I have said all along I don't care if we are 1 or 2, and I still feel that way. What I will say is I want the Caps least in the Met. If I ranked the teams in the order I want to play them I'd go: 1. Pens 2. Isles 3. Caps I am way more focused on playing the Pens over the Caps rather than division finish. I think the Caps are good and due for a series win at least. Right now: Isles 77 points 58 GP's Us 73 points 55 GP's Pens 73 points 57 GP's Caps 72 points 58 GP's And we own the ROW TB over all the teams despite having played less games.
chuck you love talking about the division.....still way too many games to start talking about who is going for 1 and 2 and 3 and WC... 10 games left..then scoreboard watch....all it takes is an okposo or a hank injury...oh wait...never mind
All in good fun Al. Of course there are way too many games left to really predict who will finish 1-4, but this is a message board where we offer opinions and thoughts, so we might as well have some fun with it. All we know is these 4 teams are 95% locked into the playoffs, and they will all be in the Met round robin playing each other, from there we'll see.
