Seems like they fly under the radar every year.

Coyotes shutout the Pens 3-0 in Pittsburgh, and looked dominant doing it.

Like, really really good.

It was also the worst officiated game I've ever seen (was at the arena). 10 powerplays to 2 (pens i think were credited with 4, but two of them were 10 seconds each. The refs were awful calling the blue line (blew two calls), made 2 make up penalty calls, and just missed a ton of stuff. Of course I am biased but it was a **** game.

I saw no different officiating from what you see in most other games, honestly.

From Mike Lange calling the game, it seemed the officials were terrible for both teams. There is no reason there should have been that many penalties called. It killed the flow of the game.

Anyway, I could care less about this loss. The team was overlooking the Coyotes and were looking forward to Fithly. If they don't win tonight, then I'll be upset.

Canucks rebound with a blow out win over the Canadian's. Price allowed 7 goals and most of them weren't even his fault...

Found the Preds home opener at 7 that I can watch online and then the first game I care about that will be on TV. Wild/Kings at 9:30.

I'll be watching the Preds game on FSN South. At least I get to watch hockey, even though it's not the Stanley Cup Champs. I never knew FSN had the same intro for all their stations. That is gay.

I can't stand Filthadelphia. I wish that city would just burn down. I would go celebrate on the people's ashes and then take a leak on them. That is what I think of that crappy city. Richards dives into Fleury and Fartsmell bites Letang. Such bullcrap.

Chris Pronger has made such a difference for that team. Emery is crap. Filthy aint going anywhere this year yet again. Until (Please Use More Appropriate Word) Clarke realizes you need an actual goalie to make it to the cup finals, they'll be watching the Pens own them year in and year out.

Patric freakin' Hornqvist! Two goals in a little over two minutes to give the Preds a 3-2 lead late in the third period.

Aaron Sims is probably going nuts right now. He loves Patric Hornqvist.

I just picked him up in one of my fantasy leagues. Playing on the top line with Arnott and Sullivan. I like.

Ahh, the first Wild Live and the awkwardness of Anthony LaPanta and Darby Hendrickson. Excellent.

Me > Josh Harding.

Seriously, in gym class I was goalie without pads and better than this n00b. Let me play. Two goals allowed already.

There's like nobody at this game. Seriously, maybe 7,500. I know the Dodgers had a playoff game today, but really? They didn't sell their playoff game out either.

When the bruins lose, they lose UGLY.

Celtics Champs, how much do Bruins tickets go for? I should be in town for the Pittsburgh-Boston game in November and was wondering how difficult/expensive it would be to get a seat. I'm assuming this game is already sold out.

Ouch on Franzen. So glad I didn't take him on a single pool.

I just checked stubhub, not too bad. 40ish-60ish for the balcony, which is a great view, imo. There's also plenty of scalpers that work for ace ticket, right across the street from the garden.

You should be able to get in for cheap,

Yeah. This loss is freakin huge. We were already trying to replace all the goals we lost. Seriously, devastating for the Wings

On the bright side, at least the kids will play

Hopefully the bruins play better on the road.
