fryer98 30 Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 Pittsburgh is on one heck of a playoff run. The Pens are the eighth team in NHL history to start the postseason 10-1, but just the first since the Red Wings did so in '95. Five of the previous seven have gone on to win the Stanley Cup.Starting Playoffs 10-1:'08 Penguins '95 Red Wings '88 Oilers* '83 Oilers '78 Canadiens* '76 Canadiens* '72 Bruins* '68 Canadiens* *Won the Stanley Cup Link to post Share on other sites

strategy's_touch 0 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I think we can all agree that a wings/pens final would be a huge win for everyone that enjoys the NHL... the attention it will get will be amazing if it goes to 7. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I can tell your heart isn't in this taunting. Join the dark side, root for the young guys with us.Hockey has left a bad taste in my mouth this year..The only little victory I will have is if the Pens fall on their face, either this round somehow or agaisnt Detroit..Its been a very tough year for me personally as a sports fan..We all know about the Leafs situation.The Raptors were somewhat of a bust this year, even though we made the playoffs.And my summer love the Blue Jays, its one disaster after another.I am thinking of taking up ballroom dancing.

digitalmonkey 929 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 What a surprise. Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and Jeff Healey would have known that puck crossed the line.And two of them are dead. Link to post Share on other sites
coesillian 0 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 well in that picture you can sort of see that there is white paint between the bottom of the puck and the line, but has the entire puck crossed over the plane of the red line, I for one still and not convinced and I don't think I will be. It's way too close to call, therefore the no goal call stands. good call imo.That kenedy fight really impressed me, I loved watching those boys go at it and leave it all out on the ice. great great fight.

Zach6668 513 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 It's like 3 inches inside the post... it's WAY over the line. Even the overhead angle was obvious, but Biron's glove was in the way, so they couldn't "see" it... All they had to do was complete an overlay of the puck, since we know it's dimensions and shape, and it'd be super clear, but they obv can't do that. Link to post Share on other sites
WestcoastCanuck 0 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Really? You look at that picture and are not convinced that the puck crossed the line? Really? WOW!From that side angle, the center of the puck (the part not touching the ice, nearest to the goal line) could appear further back than it actually is. Biron's glove is still blocking the closest part of the puck to the goal line. It seems unlikely that the illusion would be that strong, but I would still prefer a definitive overhead shot to make the right call. Maybe the NHL should look into making transparent posts and goalie gloves to make sure every camera angle can get a full view of the puck . Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 why does every hit the flyers make have to have hands or elbows or forearms to the head, and why the **** are the refs not calling any of this BS? I thought they wanted to eliminate headshots. Contract the Flyers and 50% of the league's headshots are eliminated. Link to post Share on other sites

fryer98 30 Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Staal heads for funeralPenguins center Jordan Staal will return to his hometown of Thunder Bay, Ontario, today for his paternal grandfather's funeral.A private plane arranged by former Penguin Mark Recchi will carry him to Canada, and Staal is expected to return tonight."I want to be there," Staal said. "There are bigger things than hockey."Staal's brother, Eric, left the Canadian team yesterday at the world championships in Halifax, Nova Scotia, to attend the funeral.
