[quote name="tvltre"]Sorry Stu if i am blind to Prongers accomplishments. But, it is hard to see how good he truly is by compared to how dirty he truly is.



I know you don't win the cup by being a poster child for clean play, but elbows and stepping on players during the game just doesn't warrant my admiration.



He is and always will be a piece of shit in my book.[/quote]



BINGO!!!



Fuck Pronger. Fuck Carcillo. Dirty low-rent bastards. I don't respect garbage. End. Of. Story. Period.



As I told a Philly native co-worker today, "Fuck the Flyers!"



Good lord but have their fans worked my LAST goddamned nerve on the net. . . already. . .with almost 3 more days still until puck drop! No matter where I go, articles, blogs, forums---their defensive posturing and obnoxious, entitled comments dirty up the joint like fetid sputum. Uggh.





But on a happier note, anyone read the column by Justin Bourne on Puck Daddy last night? Made of W-I-N!



How Blackhawks overpower opponents; can Philly stop them?

^ Thus my new favorite Blackhawks slogan is now: "41 THUNDERFUCK!", :lol: :lol:

"Michael Leighton(notes) would have to continue his spectacular run too. As great as he's been in his seven playoff games, he's either faced a depleted Boston Bruins roster or an exhausted Montreal Canadiens team. How do you like his odds against a well-rested, fully-healthy Blackhawks squad that can afford to be patient or go all "41 Thundertruck" on his seven-seeded Flyers?"



That quote is literally what I've been saying. Its MICHAEL LEIGHTON, THE MAN WAS RELEASED BY A NON PLAYOFF TEAM JUST MONTHS AGO. While sure anything can happen, I mean this guy has played no one in the playoffs so far. If he does pull off the win I'll give him more credit than I've ever given any other winner over my team, cause it will be one of the most ridiculous performances ever. The Hawks will shell Leighton, that I would put money on.





As for their fans......I hope theirs some real ones out there, cause those reading our O-boards probably think we have less of an IQ. Still have yet to go on their for months, but I can only imagine the carnage of our circus bandwagon act official boards.

[quote name="Tim"]It will be interesting to see how much the officials will let Pronger get away against Buff in front of the net. He can be a very nasty SOB.



Is it Saturday yet?[/quote]



I think it will be interesting to see how much the refs let the entire Philly team get away with.[/quote]



I can see it already and its gonna be a whole lot.

Ron, The anticipation is a bitch. Everyone is wired. Unreal the number of people sporting Hawks gear around Antioch. For years there was just a handful of us.

Looks like the Flyers are going to have a hard time getting away with the cheap shit. As much as I loath McCreary I think this helps the Hawks.

I've never liked Walkom since he was in the IHL, but this list doesn't look bad overall.

Flyers +200 for the series, Richards and Pronger for the Conn Smythe Trophy at +1000 each, Flyers +170 for Game 1.



Just a heads up for those of you who may want to hedge your bets. Richards/Pronger bet is too good to pass up.

Re: 5/29 - SCF Game 1 - Flyers (0) @ (0) Blackhawks 7:00PM NBC

I think it all depends on WHAT Hawks team shows up to the series. The team that opened the series in against the Predators and the Canucks? Losing 4-1 and 5-1, that could be a crusher in the Finals. This team has the ability to play great, or suck ass...



If they come out firing on all cylinders ... Philly is done.



Hossa is 31st in scoring

Byfuglien 33rrd

Versteeg 47th



But that is perfect... Philly will focus on Towes/Kane and the rest of the boys will give Leighton a sunburn on the back of his neck. Halak caved in once he got rattled and so will Leighton. It's one thing to be in the zone with a shut-out going, it's another to be fighting every night after you already have 3 goals against you. It gets in your head.



I think Hossa is going to break out and Big Buff will have a huge series.

4 GWG, 8 total (leading the team). Tied for 3rd most goals in the playoffs... I'd say he's firing on all cylinders.
