Would have loved to see something similar when Canada won. That's the loudest I have ever heard the bar in Calgary

A lot of noise on the streets. That must have been from the fans who left because the game was taking too long who didn't make it all the way home in time.

There's about an hour left but Tim Erixon's negotiating rights have been traded to the rangers. He was Calgarys #1 pick back in 09 but couldn't come to an agreement with them so his rights were traded.

If he is not signed by 5pm est. today calgary will recieve a second round pick this year (57th or 58th or something) and erixon will be be put back into the draft this year.

He's a really good defensemen. Kinda pissed the rags might get him.

Flames acquire F Roman Horak & two 2nd round picks from the #NYRangers #NHL - Details to come on

 

[sraczk2011]

Rangers signed Erixon before the deadline.

 

[Boss AZ]

Beast goal.

lol @ people steaming saying that was offside.

The bruins just looked outmatched all night and the canucks just didn't look like their normal selves. Game 2 is on saturday of course so we'll have to wait another 2 days for the dam game.

 

[wr50l]

Watched 55 minutes and 40 odd second of that fuckin match and fell asleep then woke up when they went back to the studio. Still haven't seen the goal, what an epic waste of my life. If I was a Canucks fan I'd have fallen asleep after 30 minutes.

How can you argue that it wasn't offsides? I yelled at the TV offside right as it happened. Beside that fact Boychuck has blown this playoffs and is on the ice for almost every goal against. IDK why Chara and Seids aren't on the ice in the final minute of the game. If you watch the replay you see Lucic stop skating becuase he thinks the play will be offside so that is another issue of not finishing out the play until the actual whistle is blown.

lol @ dude biting patrice lol.

Because this:

is not offside. It's a really good play by Kesler.

BTW who is broadcasting on the american side?

I am at the point where I can't stand healy and hughston for much longer. It's insanely obvious how one sided hughston is right now and healy is still making the dumbest talking points I've seen in a while.

I noticed mcguire in the space between the two benches so vs. or nbc has to have it right.

NBC has it and it's their usual broadcasters...and damn you I was just about to post that picture of Kesler haha.

Good still. I didn't see that. Either way I would hardly complain about an offside call like that because it is so close and the Bruins have gotten a couple of those. The problem I had was Lucic stopped backchecking and Boychuck fkin sucks

 

[Ravin]

Part of the reason Chara wasn't on the ice is because of the line on the ice. He was shifting against the Sedin line, and some against the Kesler line. It just so happens that Kesler stayed on the ice when the Torres line was coming on.

You're telling me you'd actually take McGuire over Craig Simpson? :sigh:

 

[killgod]

I would. That tandem out in Vancouver is annoying as all fuck.

Just geez 3 hours of Grapes and it would be unparralleled broadcast quality.
