TrueBlueGED Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Not sure why people have been complaining about this series. This game has been great. Sure it sucks not to have a team to back emotionally as we would the Sabres but there is something to be said about watching a game with an unbiased view. Lots to like from both teams as far as the emotion and effort and sacrifice. They're leaving it all out there. On another note Pyatt has really turned it on this playoff season and had some memorable plays. I think the series as a whole has been pretty "meh" since the Kings just completely dominated the first three games. I don't like one-sided affairs...even with the Sabres they bore me unless it's against one of my truly hated teams. On the other hand, I agree that this game has been fantastic...it's taken me 2 hours (and counting) to finish what I'm working on because I keep watching the game for long stretches.
darksabre Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 The officiating is awful. OMG. They just get worse and worse as the game goes on. The players on both teams are beside themselves. And there it is! Kings win!
LGR4GM Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 LA Kings advance to the cup finals and the Coyotes are PISSSEDDDD!
darksabre Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Phoenix fans throwing everything on the ice. Classy.
LGR4GM Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Penner on Jonathan Quck "You mean Vezina Smythe?" Well I thourougly enjoyed OT and still believe the Kings will win the cup. Hope to see a good finals and I agree that the conference finals were somewhat dull.
darksabre Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Roenick telling Millbury he's essentially a moron. Love it. So happy to see the Kings in the final.
... Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Roenick telling Millbury he's essentially a moron. Love it. So happy to see the Kings in the final. Same here. And I thought this was a good series, too. Lots of the kind of hockey a lot of us say we want to see.
darksabre Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Same here. And I thought this was a good series, too. Lots of the kind of hockey a lot of us say we want to see. This series was much closer than the 4-1 result indicates, and Phoenix played LA better than any other team. LA just has a little more raw talent and it's getting them what they need. It also appears that Sutter might be the man.
SabreFX Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Attention people occupying Jobing Arena, you may now take off your white T-shirts and return to not giving a crap about hockey.
RazielSabre Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 They just get worse and worse as the game goes on. The players on both teams are beside themselves. And there it is! Kings win! Times like this I do miss Fire Lindy Ruff NOW! He would have bee apoplectic with rage. Hehe.
Weave Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Roenick telling Millbury he's essentially a moron. Love it. So happy to see the Kings in the final. I'm sorry I missed seeing Roenick call out Milbury. Would've been a huge belly laugh for me.
deluca67 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Congrats to the Kings, what a great job they have done . Richards in the off-season, coaching change mid-season and when Jeff Carter became available they jumped on the opportunity. Looking forward to a great Finals.
Marvelo Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Strikes me about how players who don't produce during the year become pivotal at this time of the year. so maybe if the Sabres snuck in, maybe a Leino might've become a beast.
Sabre Dance Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 i don't think there's any need to throw your proverbial arms around that broadcaster as one of the "gals." from where i sit, her lack of fluency with hockey has nothing to do with gender and everything to do with where she grew up and what she grew up watching. Agreed - take a look at the stiff Channel 4 has reading the news on the weekends, Lou something or other. Aside from mispronouncing names of various communities in WNY, he reads the news the way most people would read the classifieds. And his attempts at banter are laughable. I give him another month before he is tossed to the scrap heap.
bunomatic Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 Was Dustin Browns hit late in the game suspendible ? IMO it was unnecessary and he seemed to go out of his way to make the hit. He had to reach to hit the target area of the opponents leg which makes the hit avoidable. Ugly hit.

I was just watching some TSN stuff and they seem to quickly brush over that section of the game recap.

spndnchz Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 http://www.sportsnet...ngs_conspiracy/ hit shown in link above.... consensus does seem to be, if this during season, he gets 3 games minimum. Consensus from who? The Coyotes players? IMO no penalty. That was a good open ice hit. The whistle sounds at the same time as the hit yet some say it was after the whistle, Brown makes no move to stick out his leg and keeps the same path to the player hitting him first (by a split second) in the shoulder and the rest of his body follows through. Rosival knows better to be cutting across the middle like that.
RazielSabre Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 This is why us gals don't get taken seriously when it comes to hockey. http://youtu.be/2Y1a4-MpU-8 That was like listening to Americans commentate on Football (proper Football) 10 years ago. Then you got further than us in the World Cup and the tables got turned.

He didn't go out of his way to throw it and with all that traffic, it was completely unavoidable. Nothing will happen with this one.

thesportsbuff Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Posted May 23, 2012 No supplemental discipline needed, but it was definitely a penalty (one that went uncalled).
millbank Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 All thing come around. Brown's time will come. Guy has zero cred around league as he not a accountable guy. Mark my words, the day will come where we be talking about Brown getting his behind handed to him...

Mark my words, the day will come where we be talking about Brown getting his behind handed to him... I've never really thought of him as a particularly dirty player. He's gritty, skilled, and goes hard. I like him and I wish him well.
