Negative. They aren't playing the Rangers......... If the Bruins can beat the Capitals, and the Senators and continue their success against the Rangers this year, the Bruins would draw the Senators in the second round.........

What? The Senators have had the better of the Rangers this year, and Lundqvist has been a sieve lately, so we'll see if he chokes again..........(semi-choke).

No, but they hang in Fish's mouth........

It should be no surprise at all........ http://www.thelostogle.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/blake-griffin-girl.jpg http://www.thelostogle.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/blake-griffin-frolicking.jpg http://www.thelostogle.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/blake-griffin-girl-hug.jpg *Waits for Fish to say flopping isn't bad*

Cousins is one scary dude.......

I don't like that match-up with Washington at all. They scare the hell out of me, they really do. I think the Bruins are the better team, but Chara is going to have to shut down Ovechkin. The Bruins pretty much owned the Senators too, so I'm mad about that.

What the [expletive] New York? Get your damn shit together. I want nothing to do with the Capitals in the first round.

They're not really goons at all. I'll admit that Malkin has that dirty side to him, and I think he'll get suspended sometime in his career for some of little dirty play, but outside of Cooke, they aren't all too dirty, unless you mean dirty by undressing teams and scoring goals. I'm picking the Flyers as of now to take the Penguins out in the first round, so I have no bias here at all. This just reeks of a team, or teams that have been badly beaten by one of their division rivals, and need something to complain about. Crosby used to complain a lot, but he doesn't complain much anymore.

Oh, alright, so every time Crosby or Malkin "whines", they are right in front of Tortorella, right? Please. The reason "in the same weeks, tow NHL coaches called them out for whining to the refs" is because the Penguins have raped them during the most important times in recent years. The entire whining stuff about the Penguins is one the same level as the Flyers being goons today, unless you believe that to be true as well.

Do you want to explain to me how Malkin is a whiner that probably speaks 50 words in English? Tortorella complains more than Crosby and Malkin combined.

I've gotten one thing from them in over a year being with them. It was just a pamphlet right before the NFL playoffs if I remember correctly. Also, PM me your 5dimes account number. I sent you a PM earlier saying I'd give you $100 in addition to what I still owe you. Send it to me as soon as you can because I'd rather get it to you before I potentially burn it all.

We'll see how much he's whining after the Capitals (if they get the #8 seed) take the Rangers out in six games in the first round Pretty defensive you are, eh? Tortorella is always complaining about something.

I don't disagree with his comments, but to call the Penguins whiners is hypocritical.

Tortorella complaining? Color me surprised. . That guy does more whining than pretty much every coach in the NHL.

It was worse than I thought it was going to be. Some of it I didn't mind, but when you say that you want to keep hitting his head after the play and trying to take out someones ACL, that's overboard. I don't think he'll coach for a LONG time, if ever again. I think their punishment was WAY too light now.

http://markmalazarte.com/dwight-stan.gif Grow up Dwight. You're just a little friggin baby.

So, then according to you, there must be about 30 franchise players in the NBA? There's not 30 franchise players in the NBA, nor are there 15 players. He's similar to Amare and Bosh where both are very talented players, but they aren't cornerstone, franchise players. If they are the main piece of a team, you're not winning a title. I have a very strict definition of a franchise player. I think the only franchise players in the NBA are LeBron, Wade, Kobe (still), Rose, and POSSIBLY Howard.

What an overrated bum. He should be happy that SVG is his coach because he actually has the balls to challenge Howard. Dwight is a shot prima donna. Get lost you bum.

No, he is not a franchise player. No PG (if you want to call him one) is a franchise player. Not CP3, not D-Will, and not any other PG. The only one I'd consider is Rose.

Totally a part of football........... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhnn9kbqQUA&feature=player_embedded Let me tell my players to directly target the head, take out the outside of the ACL, hurt players ankles, commit late hits, etc...... Enjoy your suspension you piece of shit.

I'll make this my last post about the Rangers and Capitals in this thread, as this is meant for the Flyers. The Capitals have had the Rangers number over the years. Yes, this season is different, but they have had their number in recent years, and in the playoffs. No team since the lock-out has won the Stanley Cup without being top 10 in scoring. There's a first time for everything, but I just don't trust the Rangers offense to be consistent enough. Maybe you believe they will be, but I just don't see it when I watch them play. The Rangers are currently 11th in goals (close enough to top 10), but I really don't see the offense there. I don't think it's an outrageous prediction to think their offense will let them down, even against Washington. On that note, Ovechkin has been heating up, and is the all-time leader in gpg in playoff history. I just like this match-up IF the Rangers play the Capitals. If the Rangers draw the Sabres, my opinion will change. However, I just like the Capitals in this particular match-up. If the Rangers were to play the Bruins, I would be pretty nervous as the Rangers seem to play them ever well. However, I just think the Capitals would take out the Rangers.

I've said it for a while now, especially on the "misc", that the Rangers are not good enough to win the Stanley Cup, and will lose to the Capitals if they play them. Laugh all you want now, but you won't be laughing much in a few weeks if the Rangers have to play the Capitals . A team with a "meh" offense such as the Rangers will struggle in the playoffs. Personally, if there's one team I don't want to play, it's actually the Rangers because they just have the Bruins number, but I don't think they will be able to beat Washington. Call it whatever you want, but I call it the truth.

Knock them out while Boston hopefully takes out Ottawa. Then the Bruins will most likely either play Washington or New Jersey...... Then if the Flyers are in the finals, Bryzgolov can have a meltdown.

Not to the same extent as baseball. Football has all except one or two of their games on a Sunday to start the year. There's no real hockey tradition for opening day, yet they pretty much start around the same time. It's practically a weeks difference between opening days in the MLB this year.......... By the way, are you scurred about the Nationals taking the NL East? :glasses: .
