  2. Cycling did end on time. Lance Armstrong won't be typing angry tweets now. Yay!

  3. Bob Cole doesn't sound as confused as he used to....apparently it's because he admitted he had a medication problem which affected his vision for a few years. Now he's better.

  4. Awesome. The fans are singing O Canada as it's a symphony playing the anthems.

  5. Delay of game on Montreal.

    Uhh...goodness.

    ReplyDelete
  6. And Philly nearly allowed a 2 on 1 seconds in.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Did Beninati really just say "Shut Yo Mouth?"

    O.M.G.

  8. Beninati channeling his inner Issac Hayes.

  9. CAMMALLERI SCORES! 1-0 MONTREAL!

  10. Well there goes the shutout streak.

    Cammalleri scores. 1-0 Habs.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Screw it...

    Bob Cole > Beninati

    Cole is not as senile as in year's past.

  12. There is no one quite like Beninati........

    ReplyDelete
  13. It's only 1-0 and yet Habs fans are OLEing.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Versus picks guys who scream hockey games out of existence, and even Doc on occasion is guilty of this by making long shots that miss the net seem like they have a chance.

  15. Leighton is going to have to continue to be huge in order for the Flyers to get out of this period.

    Halak is going to be tough to beat tonight, I can feel it.

    ReplyDelete
  16. just remember: i've been listening to Beninati since i was a junior in high school. He hasn't gotten any better.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Flyers really are struggling in the 1st period this series.

    Intermission can't come soon enough.

    ReplyDelete
  18. And the Flyers give up a completely bizarre goal.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Pyatt makes it 2-0. Crap.

    What was Pronger thinking there?

    ReplyDelete
  20. KT, what do you think of this:

    <a href="http://jamesrussellcraven.blogspot.com/2010/05/19/dear-izzy-youre-vindicated/>The London Olympic Mascots.</a>

  21. So......is this a penalty coming up?

    Joe B is so good at filling us in before commercial breaks.

    ReplyDelete
  22. No PP for us, but a PP for Montreal.

    That's borderline.

    ReplyDelete
  23. 5 on 3 coming up for maximum :52.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I love how even Reaugh is attributing all these Flyer penalties to the crowd.

    There have been a whole lot of wishy-washy calls.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Really? The Flyers probably should've been called for 1-2 more penalties.

    For the Habs all I see is that delay of game.

    The refs suck so far.

    ReplyDelete
  26. @ SSR: I especially did not like the Pronger call. Did he even touch him?

    ReplyDelete
  27. The IIHF should make a rule that all rosters for the World Championships should be final. No last second call ups because Malkin is available.

    That's why Russia's Olympic team just killed Canada today 5-2.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I agree about the IIHF. It's hardly fair.

    ReplyDelete
  29. “Montreal is not going down without a fight.” – Joe Beninati quoting Hoobastank AGAIN!

    /They're not afraid to let it out!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Random note: Doug Collins will be introduced as the new Sixers coach tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Flyers aren't doing much better in the 2nd....

    ReplyDelete
  32. Brad Watson is reffing this game. That explains the terrible penalties.

    ReplyDelete
  33. And that's NOT a penalty????

    I fucking hate Brad Watson.

    ReplyDelete
  34. The Flyers are playing some absolutely terrible hockey today. Refs have nothing to do with it and they have had their chances.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I never said the Flyers should be winning or the sole reason the Flyers are down 3-0 is because of the officiating, but Brad Watson is a terrible referee and he is having yet another horrible game; at least his 3rd real bad game of the playoffs.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Canadiens letting out the slack in their offense.” – Joe Beninati after our favorite Hoobastank song played agian.

    They’re not afraid to let it out!

    ReplyDelete
  37. It's not a win, but thank goodness Gagne broke Halak's shut out and took away a bit of the momentum. I'll take that.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Classic Brad Watson. He just let everything go for practically 15 minutes, and now he decides out of nowhere to call a penalty.

    The guy is inconsistent, and when he feels like calling lots of penalties, calls penalties that are barely penalties.

    He has no biases, he is a whistle-carrying moron on skates.

  39. "Who are we choosing tonight, Mr. Rasoir?" - Joe Beninati

    Rasoir = Razor in French. Razor = Daryl Reaugh's nickname.

    How do Caps fans put up with him?

    ReplyDelete
  40. "You always know you are losing a game when your goalie is in the middle of the bench like a grocery stick." - Daryl Reaugh

    ReplyDelete
  41. This is the Flyers first fighting major of the playoffs.

    And yet, we get the label of a dirty team.......

    ReplyDelete
  42. Up 4-1 and on a PP in the last minute and the Habs bring out their top PP line to score a 5th goal on us.

    Not only is there an unwritten rule that you don't do that, but we are the ones given the dirty label when in the past 2 games of the series, we put out our 3rd and 4th liners on the PP (as a team should) at the end of the game and they put out their top line to try to run up the score and essentially rub it in our faces.

    Again, WE GET THE LABEL OF THE DIRTY TEAM, THE HABS ARE PULLING THIS SHIT. Am I the only one that finds a disconnect?
