In the last two weeks I have seen the worst officiating I've seen in ages and the cheapest play from teams.

This is going to be interesting....

Sadly my Avs fell short to the be there :S

F&%@ing Penguins!
ARSE!

WHY do they leave Fleury in when he's let two past??
They also need to stop giving away cheap PPs.

Yeah. That second game was a complete farce. even worse than the first where they threw away a 3-point lead in the 1st period.
Protip : When you're two points behind, and <5 minutes on the clock of regulation play, DO NOT take your goaltender off the ice because one half-mistake, and you'll be three behind.
Happens EVERY. BLOODY. TIME!
Not sure I want to watch the rest of the series when they play like that :\

EDIT : Certainly not worth staying up until 3am, anyway....

Wow, I did not like Crosby and Penguins before and after today there is nothing left to like. They played really cheap and what they showed does not belong to hockey at all.
I hope they will get punished by league officials.

On the other hand it waas thrill to watch. If only Pens managed to keep calm it could have been spectacular show.

I love playoff hockey! The Flyers have scored 20 goals in 3 games. I do not understand why they don't pull Fleury, it makes no sense. Who is the backup goalie for Pittsburgh?

What I don't like Neal for p-burgh taking cheap shots on some of the Flyer players. Game four is going to be interesting. Any bets on how when the first fight is? I say first period, the Pens are going to try to assert themselves early.

BBJ. Big Bad Johnson. Yeah, him and Geno are swines for it. Give far too many PPs away when they get going.
It's different when the other team is ganging up on Geno and Crosby though. Geno took a hell of a hit, early in Game2, and throughout the regular season, half of the Pens' first rank of players were out injured.., Bruins are bastards for attacking Pens players, to name one.

I expect this to be a very bad playoff for the Canucks. What with Daniel Sedin out for the forseeable future and two LA wins, this is going to be such a fuckup for my home team.

That said, I only have a tiny interest in ice hockey (I dare not say this in public) so I only really care if a) my city is set on fire to afterwards or b) they win.

I'd love to see the Bruins drop in round one. Overall, playoff hockey is excellent to watch.

I enjoy playoff hockey, even when the closest team to me geographically is the Blue Jackets.

I'm cheering for my hometown team, the Nashville Predators, they are playing well this year, hope they at least make it to round 3

I think he was out, injured, for a couple/few months. They played him towards the very end of regular season. First game back in, he was very shaky...uncoordinated. He did pick up though, 2nd and 3rd games.

Well, they lost yesterday, too. 8-4...I give up. They're not getting further, this year. Which is a shame, as Crosby is back fully after nearly a year and a half out injured....

I'm starting to think the Pens are only able to play well in the postseason if a key player is out with an injury. Good grief.

I would happily sacrifice Joe Pavelski or Patrick Marleau to the Hockey Gods if it meant San Jose finally reaching the Finals.
