Benz Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 A little surprised (but not really) that no one has posted on the Hockey Playoffs this year, especially where the Panthers are in this mofo and kicking Devils' ass. I will happily root for the Panthers this year. Not over the Bruins , of course. But if the Bruins fall, then the Cup should go to Miami/ South Florida. So far a lot of underdogs are winning. I'm happy the LA Kings beat Vancouver. Ha ha Luongo's tires must be flat. (null) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panch Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I'm not keeping up until after this first round. The way the Panthers backed in, didn't give me much hope for them, but I'm glad they're proving me wrong. Besides, we have Heat playoffs coming up and MIAMI Marlins going on, too. Been waiting for baseball, honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benz Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 For me right now, baseball can take a shit. Don't get me wrong, I love the Red Sox. We just need to fire Bobby Valentine already. Oh and a better-than-single-A-quality bullpen would be nice too. NBA? I've got more faith in the Celts right now than the Sox. But our first round is against the Heat? Might as well be the Eastern Conference championship already. Nah, I'm most focused on the NHL right now, because I like EVERYTHING that is going on with ALL the teams right now. Vancouver's out of it in the first round? Sweet! Panthers kicking butt? Awesome! All the underdog teams winning? Really freakin cool! Flyers? Eh they're the exception, but fuck both teams in that series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panch Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 How are the Celtics playing the Heat? I thought they were higher in the standings. I was hoping to play destroy the Knicks. Also, Ben. Can you keep me updated on the Panthers? I probably won't jump on the bandwagon until everyone else does :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and me both. But ESPN doesn't lie. Also, Ben. Can you keep me updated on the Panthers? I probably won't jump on the bandwagon until everyone else does :/ Definitely. Here's hoping they win again tomorrow night. I will most likely watch the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benz Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Not a very physical game so far. I guess that's what the series/ Panthers' play has been though. I want to see the Panthers get physical. Violent. Not cheap, mind you. But they need to get motivated. 0-1 Devils after the first period. Aarty already has me on grumpy gills alert.

Benz Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Yes Panch. Game 7. Thankfully Panthers will have home ice advantage. Sadly though, they stopped selling the rubber rats. Flyers got lucky, Ice. Hopefully that will be remedied next round. (null) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panch Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I'm sure the fans will still find a way to get em in the arena. Fucking place... I'm sure they were cleaning up the mess of rats and selling them for five bucks a pop. Pretty brilliant, if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benz Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 Bruins are out. Tim Thomas was too busy with his political career to focus on keeping pucks out of the net. Oh well. LET'S GO PANTHERS!!! (null) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panch Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Found out on Twitter and caught the highlights on SportsCenter. Didn't wanna say anything. I'm off tomorrow night so I'll be catching the Panthers' game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benz Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 OMG... I didn't realize there were Bruins fans in the South. I do blame Tim Thomas though. If you're going to start a political career, please leave the goaltending to someone who is focused on hockey. In all seriousness, shit happens. Panthers better get physical, want it and win it. All my hockey hopes lie in you, Stanley C. Panthers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benz Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins have denounced racist comments made by some fans after the team was eliminated from the playoffs Wednesday night. The Washington Capitals beat the Bruins in overtime of Game 7 to move on to the second round. It was a sudden end to the Bruins' hopes to repeat as Stanley Cup champions, and many fans took to Twitter to express their frustration. But for some, that frustration took the form of racist comments targeted at the Capitals' Joel Ward, who scored the winning goal. Ward is one of a couple dozen black players in the NHL, and some Twitter users used racially derogatory terms after Ward scored. The Bruins issued a terse statement in response Thursday afternoon: "The Bruins are very disappointed by the racist comments that were made following the game last night. These classless, ignorant views are in no way a reflection of anyone associated with the Bruins organization." Boston.com reported that many of the pages of the Twitter users have since been removed. Twitter doesn't prohibit racist language or moderate its content, but when offensive tweets have gotten widespread attention in the past, users have canceled their accounts because of the outcry and the ease with which their identities can sometimes be determined. Ward told USA Today that he was told about the comments during the team's flight home. "It doesn't faze me at all," Ward told the newspaper, saying that he's concentrating on the next round. Ward said he also heard from many Bruins fans supporting him. Read more: http://www.wmur.com/...l#ixzz1tBIb15QN (Didn't use the quote tag because you can't read it here...)

Aartemys Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 They are blaming Devil's fans for throwing the rats on the ice during the game. It's common knowledge that the Panthers will get a time penalty if it happens. Damned people from Jersey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benz Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Damned people from Jersey... That's my girl! Panthers are getting more physical tonight, which is good to see. They need to play that way if they want to win. It can be a double edged sword, but if done correctly it's how the Bruins won last year. I don't believe much in violence but please at least beat the living shit out of the Devils if nothing else tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aartemys Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Devils won in double overtime against the Panthers. Still, it was a good run and something that Florida fans should be proud of...should, being the operative word. I've always been a Panther's fan and am very happy that they got as far as they did. Round 2 of playoffs are: LA Kings v St Louis Blues Nashville Predators v Phoenix Coyotes Washington Capitals v New York Rangers New Jersey Devils v Philadelphia Flyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benz Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Still, New Jersey and every other remaining team in the East can eat a bag of dicks. Go Kings. (null) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceManML Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I know him, by-the-way. Stanley not the nig-wait... Iceman comes in here, right? Lol! yea Philly has a black player that helped them win in OT a couple weeks ago. I posted on my Facebook about it n automatically a friend of mine felt seriously awkward he didn't know there were black hockey players. Lol I think it's hilarious, but on Nicky's post: you can't stop ignorance in an instant. Especially when it's hater aide coming from mankind's garbage. (see what I did there?) GO FLYERS BABY! Still, New Jersey and every other remaining team in the East can eat a bag of dicks. Go Kings. (null) No one in the east will be joining you when it's time to cry in your mothers bosoms... Wait, is your mom hot o_O? Yes Panch. Game 7. Thankfully Panthers will have home ice advantage. Sadly though, they stopped selling the rubber rats. Flyers got lucky, Ice. Hopefully that will be remedied next round. (null) Last time I checked blow outs of the penguins n leading them 3-0 is far from a fluke. Kings are weak.
