I've ben saying this about sid the crybaby kid for over two years.Just ask joey82 and stony.

Yep. Crosby is the only player who ever talks to the refs or complains about a call.

Crosby is an unbelievable talent and he isn't afraid to mix it up either, if you have been watching this series you will find that he is right in the middle of a lot of the scrums.

Pens up 3-1 and ready to destroy whoever we face next!

They got jobbed last night.. They clearly scored a 3rd goal in the 2nd period, but the ref 'intended' to blow the whistle, so the play was dead, even though the puck was loose and banged in.. Yet, they went and reviewed it anyways for some reason. That should have been a moot point since he 'intended' to blow the whistle. Pretty much they took away a goal, because the ref 'intended' to blow the whistle when he shouldnt have anyways.. Tough pill to swallow, especially when they werent getting any bounces all series and just took the lead after being down 2-0

Either way, Van would have taken the series.. You dont deserve to win if you can bury it on the PP... Really exposed our need for a D man with a boomer, with our top 2 D men out for the year (Johnson/Brewer)

Great season. Went from being picked and sitting in 15th, to 6th place despite all the injuries/bad luck they've had. Gave me my 1st taste of playoffs in a long time being a Blues and 49er fan.

st.louis blues might have a hard time making the playoffs next year.

I was surprised as well they got swept. Mason didnt look that good, especially the last goal.

I think the canucks are going to the finals and with aalot of luck maybe it will be a repeat of 1994.No regardless if i'm hoping to much i still think the canucks are going.

I don't think you will destroy the devils or carolina.Sure you could beat either team but destroy i don't think so.Hopefully we meet in the confrence finals and get a little revenge but we first have to win tonight and put the caps away before sundayand then beat boston.We have alot of work to do.

Dear God,

Please let us win just one game and not be swept. Then have the entire FO and coaching staff canned and let us start from scratch.

Honestly the only teams in the east that really scare me are Boston and Washington. Fluerry has been very good in goal and we can rack up points. Not to say that we will blow through the east like we did last year but I really think any opponent other than those mentioned we can deal with in 6 or less.

Depending on who wins the Sharks/Ducks series, I think the Nucks could be sent packing. If the Sharks win, the Nucks are sent home next round... They will match up against Detroit, and they wont make a lot of the mistakes the Blues made (1st goal in game 4 is an example). And their PP will capitalize on their opportunities unlike the Blues. They have the best blueline in the playoffs (offensively) and 3 disgusting lines. I dont see Van being able to skate with them and hold them off the score sheet

On the other hand, id take Luongo and Van in a 7 game series vs the Hawks or Flames, if the Ducks win.

Thats what im trying to get at. Crosby is super talented, I dont think he needs to complain to the refs (as much as he does), he can get back at the opposing team playing his game.

LETS GO RANGERS. LUNDQUIST OWNS OVETCHKIN.

I don't think he complains as much as he used to his first couple of years. Lots of great players complain to the refs because they usually do get fouled/illegally slowed down. I guess you have never seen Kobe play, he goes apes**t if he feels like he gets fouled and it isn't called.

dang the caps down 3-1
