NHL 2010 Playoffs

Nice to see the Hawks on a roll and winning this one. 2 down, 2 to go!
 
So I took my gal's son to the game last night. It is amazing to see a 9 year old light up like that.

He led cheers of "Niemi", had his picture taken by people with his playoff beard and even started a cheer in the bathroom when a Flyer fan tried to have his buddy cut in line.

The guy called me a d-bag and that the Hawks were a bunch of <>. Brad said "dude, look at the scoreboard". The whole bathroom sang "scoreboard" in sing song the rest of the way. The Philly fan, of course, flipped everyone "the bird" when he left to massive boos.

Only in Detroit and Philly.
On Pronger, that's bush league and throwing Eager a Hawks towel as a alternative is really weak.

2-0 Pronger!!!
 
not all philly fans are animals :) tough luck for the flyers. a bounce or 2 the other way and philly is up 2-0. should be interesting in philly. this team won't quit despite the haters. amazing how much hatred there is out there for this team. they're beloved in the Delaware Valley...not some side show where fans jump on board when there's a winner in town...iow, philly Is a hockey town. i say don't hate, it's very unbecoming!
 
The team with the most passionate haters are probably the Canadiens. Some people that live across the country have it in their genes to spend 5 minutes a day hating the Canadiens. Even in July. Some ex-Nordiques fans do it too.
 
I was going to ask how you could possibly hate Briere and then I saw you're in Montreal.

I dont hate him for not coming to play for montreal or the they eliminated us. I hate him because he's the most cocky and arrogant player in the NHL.

He's good, I dont deny it, but he knows it and he always says the most annoying comments.

I just cant stand the guy.

although Progner is my favorite player in the NHL too bad he plays with Briere....

Love you like a brother J but I think John Madden called it when he said the players will be safer on the ice than those wearing the Indian head in the stands.

Anyhow, I'm frothing at the mouth like Carcillo right now. Can't wait!!

I can tell you both of these game were loud but I'm pretty sure your stadium will be as just as loud as the UC. Let's hope we can take you out of the equation!!

Apparently, the NHL is keeping track of decibel levels. :lol:

Comment from game 2.
It was loud. The loudest of course, was during the national anthem, recorded at a steady level of 116 decibels, then jumped to 122 decibels after "the rockets' red glare". That is the equivalent of a shotgun going off next to your head or a jet engine revving to maximum. 122 dB is louder than many outdoor football stadiums and near the pain threshold of 125 dBs. The loudest recordable sound, a sonic boom, is registered at 194 dBs. The loudest ever recorded at an NFL game was 119 dBs at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium in 1996. The loudest at an NCAA stadium was 121 dBs at Death Valley in Baton Rouge, LA during an Louisiana State game in 1991.

During the game, Hossa's goal was recorded at 113 dBs, Eager's was at 112 dBs. The end buzzer was recorded at 112 dBs as well. Those readings are equivalent of standing next to a gas powered lawn mower.

LET'S GO HAWKS!!!

Me neither!>. obviously i'm not as big of a hawks fan as you (actually, I guess I'm not really), but I'm going to be cheering them on when the game starts.. soon!
 
nice Whomper! great stats! another great game tonight. good to see the flyers trying to make a series of it. that Kane fellow sure can skate and shoot. and yes! carcillo is crazy! iffy charging call on him though. giroux was butter :cool:
 
I need to get me a Chris Pronger jersey. What a warhorse.
 
I (and a lot of people around here) don't want to see Pronger get another cup, so we're all cheering for Chicago.
 
Progner is a great defenceman. Great player indeed ... just ended up in the bad team lol
 
Great series indeed. These two teams are similar in many ways. I'm hoping the Hawks get Ladd back for tomorrow (practiced yesterday). I think Q may mess with his lines a bit and have Big Buff move to the 2nd and let Philly decide where they want Pronger. Brouwer moves to the 1st and Kops from the 3rd to the 4th with Ladd moving to his usual 3rd.

Regarding Pronger, I think a Philly fan and Hawks fan explain how I feel.

As a Flyers fan...

I want to take offense to this:

Hawks fan said:
Big Buff may have finally met his match in Pronger, not just physically, but in terms of Machiavellian shamelessness. Unlike previously conquered defensemen such as Weber, Bieksa, and Blake, Captain Elbows don&#8217;t give a <> what the rules are, what people think, what the press writes, what the refs notice or ignore, what his mom thinks. He&#8217;s going to slash, hook, pitchfork and cross-check until the refs can no longer turn a blind eye, and guess what, when he gets out of the penalty box, he&#8217;s going to come out on his next shift and slash, hook, pitchfork and cross-check even harder. That gap in his front teeth isn&#8217;t a genetic accident; it&#8217;s bodily proof of the moral abyss in which he exists.

Flyers fan said:
But I can&#8217;t, because it was <> hilarious. Well said.

Great series so far. It has been everything I had hoped it would be, minus being down 2-1 but the series itself has been great.
 
As in everyone around here, I meant people in northern and central Alberta. We all hate Pronger's guts for demanding a trade!
 
Ladd's a game time decision but didn't work with any specific lines. I'm thinking Q is going to stick with his lines and hope the refs make some calls on Pronger. I have my doubts so game on.

LET'S GO HAWKS!!!
