First time this year I'm seriously on the verge of changing the channel.

Reimer FUCKING SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[Courtnall]

This is getting ridiculous. Our pk is going to do us in this year.

That one was nothing to do with the PK.

 

[sucka]

That was ungood.

Terrible. 
Isn't it galbraith?

I don't think you can argue with the call too much from behind/boarding/what have you. I think if that's Chara on Kessel we're all fine with it being five and a match.

Really effin' stupid on Phaneuf's part.

 

[pnjunction]

You keep getting scored on during a major the PK% just keeps dropping right?  I think it is always PPGA/PPA.

 

[Stronger Than All]

I haven't been this mad about a game in a while.  The usual suckage in Buffalo is fine but we seemed so much better than them at the start of the game.  I think me watching the Buffalo feed is driving me insane too.

Someone tell me why Dupuis gets to play in the NHL, he can't score and he is a cornerstone to the worst PK in western civilization. 

He doesn't score, we get it. But statistically speaking Dupuis is the best of the bunch of our penalty killers. Not saying much obviously though.

 

[Kin]

Yup. Thanks for the catch.

Its saying nothing, he is big part of the ineptitude out there.  Why take one of your worst players and put him on the ice when the team has a disadvantage, it isn't work, change it.

I can agree with the penalty, as it definitely looks like boarding in the flow of the game.

I can't agree I'd say that deserved a major.  Majors are for grievous transgressions of the rules and big fights.  Not 3/4 boardings that don't even hurt the guy.

Well i wasn't referring to that goal. But since you brought it up, it was a bad goal by Reimer, and yes it had to do with pk. Would they have had that pressure on if we were even strength? Me thinks not!

That one was nothing to do with the PK.

Agreed, bonehead play.

I think you can argue with it being 5 rather than 2, as evidenced by comments here and by the TSN announcers as well.  But certainly a poor decision by Phaneuf.
