we lost ocuz of the reffing. 4-3.
their second goal, ou teammate cleared the puck, goes at least half a foot over the blue line, I swear the ref saw it, no idea how he couldn't have. opponent brings it in immediately, slaps it. believe goalie tried to glove it and it popped up and over him..maybe it was deflected, i dont think though.
one guy on our team said it was the most aggressive game he's played in a long time at that rink. lots of checking. lots of fuckin stupid penalties, after that bullshit goal we got called for offisdes at least three times that weren't offsides. some teammates weren't very happy about it. i thoughtthe reffing was stupid.
one guy had the puck coming down teh RW side. the Dman, to me, pinned him pretty good against the boards. teammate yelled something like "What the FUCK are you doing?", must have got hit pretty hard. thats when things started going downhill.
soon after our teammate was called for a penalty behind our net, looked liket he opponent tried to skate through him, myt eammate got called for checking. no idea. after the game i asked and he said the guy sucked and couldnt stop, tried to skate through him. oh well. how i got suspended in California.
one of our older Dmen, pretty good player..the puck was at the our D blue line and i guess my teammate skated into the opponent. my teammate kept saying from the penalty box, KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND YOU WONT GET HIT. after teh game he said he checked the guy. so yeah, probably not a good play.
30 sec left or so one of their players, who pretty much sucks at skating but plays like he's the real deal. started playing in January. Way out of control, used to be on my team. he slid into my teammate along gteh boards, teammate fell to the ice and laid there. i got off the bench and wanted to kill that kid. fuckin stupid play. teammates wanted him ejected. i just wanted to skate into him like a Mac truck and ask him how ti felt.
last couple of shifts i was playin pretty hard. i was pushing people while chasing down a puck, one kid got in my way and I put my shoulder into him. on anotehr chase the Dman played it pretty well, protected it with his body. i stuck my stick out, caught his left skate, and i pulled as hard as I could. i heard their bench yelling what sounded like Interference. Tripping if anything, but the guy didnt even lose his balance.
teh game didnt bother me, except for that stupid hit near the end that caused an injury. ah, and that 2nd goal. clearly outside the blue line, no idea what the fuck the refs were doing. even the ref at the goal line should have been able to see it. no call.
that guy that yelled after getting hit, he told me I skate really hard and play really well, have great wheels bluh bluh bluh. I said I play teh best I can and I'm in really good shape, which I am. also said my skates weren't sharp at all, he said the place has sharpeners. last week teammates said the place didnt have any, so that injured kid should have them sharpened for Sunday's sticktime. he's the same kid I picked up the night I got in Augusta. First time I've seen him skate. last summer he said he had tryouts with the RiverHawks, local pro-am team. he's pretty good, skates hard, good form. only problem I coudl tell were his skates were shit, he said he uses special blades that can't be sharpened, needs to buy some new ones, and he let someone else borrow his good skates.
definitely a good skater and player, with some new blades he'd be really good. he got handcuffed a few times, but that seemed to be from losing balance cuz of his blades. we'll see next week.
i had the puck standing on the goal line facing the net with 15 sec left or so. took my time, Dman got on his knee tryin to take away my options. i'm too good though, threw it to the craese, had two teammates there. all they had to do was lift their stick 4 or 5 inches and tip it. no dice. I yell a lot when Im open in the neutral zone. MIDDLE MIDDLE MIDDLE. one time i was fuckin extremely wide open on a 2-1 on the left. LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT. no fuckin pass man. well, actually, the teammate lost control of the puck slightly, had to turn back to the red line, then passed it behind me. jesus.
the refs lost control of the game in terms of the physicality. didnt bother me. teammates weren't too pleased. i was using my body to protect the puck or prevent people from getting it. not interference if you alerady have the lane.
from 2 months ago I'm in a lot better shape, dont get winded too easily. i took a 4 min shfiot at one point, didnt even realize. i told that kid , who was switching with me, to call me off the ice if i take too long cuz im not payin attention to time. got off and was ready to go out again.
one guy on the other team admitted they were being unsportsman like. i'd sday the reffing was atrocious as well.
Pens are on a fricken roll man. 4 pts from Eastern COnference. Even philly is 2 points behind (one more game), NJ is 4 points behind. too close man. Feb 21, first win of the streak (agaisnt the Rangers, too), pens were in 6th? win 10 and in 4th and still barely ahead of the other two teams? crazy man.
they're playin like November/Dec of 2010 when they won 12 in a row. Crosby had his 25 game streak. has a 9 game streak now, not sure if it counts because of injury but I dont see why not. this weekend is a big test. especially SUnday cuz its the backend game of a back to back.
Rangers suck. Bruins are god awful to lose to the panthers 6-2 or whatever. pretty much the Pens vs Canucks/Blues. Detroit is god awful as well. nashville will make it to the second round again but 2nd round is gonna be tough for em. even if radulov comes over. they dont have that great of offense as it is. not sure if blues have a cup team,
i'd say the road is through Philly, then probably Ott or Panthers (whatever SE team gets third), then Rangers or Philly, Rags, then some shit team that will get destroyed. Rags, Pens, and FLyers, each team will play each other to get to the Cup.
