Always nice to watch Blowsma's Pens get pounded in to the ground, and then stepped on several times. Especially by an actually talented(unlike them), young club with mediocre to no goal-tending. Wait till all those ass clown fans find out how bad their team really is. Quoting the announcer, "this is no fun", when the Isles starting adding injury to insult. Now we'll see just how awesome a coach Blowsma is, and how all-star Fleury is. Haha, you couldn't write the script any better. The 'what if we didn't, and someone else, hmm say the Sabres, won that lottery' script. Fuck off Pens. Maybe you can get Gonchar, Geurin, and Kovalev to bail you out. Haha. I'd love to see them waste money and resources on Kovalev to only suck worse. That'd be fun.

/angry rant

Now that I'm done laughing at the Pens, I can say that game was an embarrassment to hockey.

Guess fighting a guy two on one is allowed in Pittsburgh. Someone should run Johnson and/or MAF.

You wouldn't understand, but Godard represented The Code to the letter. He even tried to separate his goalie from the attacker. But Johnson didn't need any help, and regardless of that fact Bailey got what he deserved. And so did the Penguins.

One thing no one is going to do to the Isles is embarrass them. If they bring their heart to a game, they can win. If they ever became consistent/healthy, they'd be pretty scary. Someday.

I also like the way they handled themselves. When they were scoring the 7th and 8th goals, they weren't gloating around like the Pens do, thinking life is a circus, and it will never end. They sat on the bench, took their rest, and stayed focused on the game. Good bunch of kids coached by a guy they respect.

Yeah I don't know why you're blowing a team the Sabres are about to play, but I don't think the Pens are coached to gloat or in fact have players that WANT to gloat. Hate the penguins but don't make stuff up that isn't true. Bylsma is a good, tough, coach who wouldn't sell out his team, or the league, anymore than he would sell out his brothers as he ate diner with him and his parents with a broken collar bone. Ever have a broken collar bone? I seen one playing tackle football as a kid, and he cried for real.

I'm happy the Penguins got this and I'm even happier that the Sabres will be emotionally spent for their game against the Sabres!

I understand that two guys throwing punches at one guy is bullshit. Regardless of what Godard started to do, him and Fleury wound up beating on Bailey together, and that's horseshit.

It was Godard and Johnson, Johnson squared off with a Bailey who came down the ice after him and before BJ could beat the shit out of him himself Godard left the bench and tried to stop him. BJ was not gonna budge so Godard got his monies worth.

You know what, I REALLY want to side with you against the Penguins but this isn't rational. If you're gonna throw down with a goalie and you're not a goalie, then you are breaking The Code and deserve to get double teamed. Just because a former Sabres shits all over The Code doesn't mean it's okay for everybody else too.

Not sure what the broken collar bone story is all about, but I just don't think Blowsma is the coach everyone else wants him to be(ie. thinks he is). He walked into a sit with 2 phenoms, well they're gone, now let's see what you can do with a good defense and a strong(?) goalie. If he rides off into the sunset like everyone thought he would, fine. I see the Pens struggling mightily from here on out. You don't make excuses in hockey if you're good, you just win. The Sabres lost their top center, and they're playing great hockey. I hate to admit this, but it's because LR is a far better coach than Blowsma, Sorry, that's just my opinion.

As for blowing the Isles, I saw them beat the Sabres and Ducks well in more than one way every pretty much every game I've seen. They're playing with no goal-tending, and a still somewhat banged-up club. Sorry if respecting that hurts your inner child.

Their goalie smiled before getting his face smahed in and they took exception to that. That's fine, I'm glad they got even and then some. But I have no idea how coaching comes into this thread topic. The collar bone incident is about Bylsma's character. When he was little his collar bone broke and one of his brothers was to blame. Instead of telling on him he ignored it and ate diner with the family as usual. As a player he blocked shots with his face and did everything for his team. He did inherit a team with a couple of superstars but I don't know how that allows jagoff message board posters to ridicule him. Go block a slap shot with your face and then maybe I will take your posts seriously.

You're a fuckin jackoff. Now go back and defend your pens on your own turf. I think it's pretty reasonable to include a comment about bad coaching in a 9-3 game. If you want me to create a new thread about the score, I will, but it seemed foolish. Adding a retarded story about a guys collar bone IS HOWEVER RETARDED when discussing tonight's game, isn't it??

As for your other fucktarded comment about DiPietro, Tim Thomas was smiling before they did anything, does that mean he deserved his "face smashed in". I dunno if your drunk, but you're being a real tool.

It's still two guys throwing punches at one guy. The situation doesn't matter, that should never happen, ever.

I guess Bailey should have thought about that before he skated down the ice to fight the goalie, he got what he deserved.

Maybe I don't know I was really drunk at the time, not as drunk now, but it still seems irrelevant to even mention the coaches in a game like that. It was run by the players and it was made to be a blood bath by the players. I don't think that game should be a poor reflection of either coach, and especially not "Blowsma" who I know has respect and integrity.

So suck my bawls!

Ok, so my sig should read, "shotblokerz iz gud cocheez"?? Is that what I'm to take from your post about him. Anyways, this is a homer site bro, and if you can't handle nicknames of enemy combatants, then you're in the wrong place at this time of year. Every point is intensified, so when I see a team I don't pretend to hate, and that I think is not very talented up front, I'ma talk about it. I don't care if you wanna be a drunk, x-pen outcast, but here you're gonna get 100% Sabre fan hockey. I fuckin hate the Habs, Boston, Ottawa, etc. with a passion, and ask for no quarter. No matter how much you'd like to have a glass of pino noir with Dan Blysma is gonna change that. If he's a good coach, his stripes will shine. In what thread this discussion is taking place is none of your concern, you're not a mod. Now try to keep it civil. We're usually cool here, and throwing weak insults around is not the norm. If you wanna teall me why the Pens will be fine with Blowsma, pleez do. I just hope the explanation isn't he's a good dinner guest.

Johnson squaked at him like a punk and asked for it. He had his gloves off before Bailey so fuck him. He got the fight he wanted then his teamate jumped in. Bullshit and dirty.

While reading this thread, I realize now that I was REALLY drunk last night. LOL And in a very argumentative mood. Still, I think my point was good about Bailey. Nobody put a gun to his head and made him skate alllll the way down the ice to fight the goalie. That was his fault. And then he seen Godard coming off the bench and he still went down after the goalie. His teammates watched him get double teamed and did nothing, nobody came off their bench to help him. It looked weak, and honestly who wasn't in the wrong in this game? But I stand by my comments regarding that. Bailey was in the wrong and he got what he had coming to him.
