Dude is injured based on the replays CBC showed of him making line changes.
Not surprising when Couturier isn't out there to play against him.

Fuck ESPN. Seriously. They are years away from what MTV is, just utter trash filled with talking heads and no real sports coverage. One could argue they are already there....
definitely on that goal, a bunch of rookies made a stupid stupid mistake.
Meh, i figured after the Devils had the better chances on the Flyers 2nd PP that the game was over
Not really meaning to imply blame, just kinda stating a fact. Big rebound, a little to slow to respond, and the puck is in the back of the net. It was the team in front of Bryz that let him down and put him in that situation.
I think ESPN's offer to the NHL last year to get them back on their network was one game a week on ESPN2 or some low-ball deal like that. :lol
I was critical of the move to Versus previously, but it's working out well for the NHL now, as the ratings are comparable if not better than what they were doing on ESPN.
Big rebound?
Slow to respond?
It was a hard wrister from 10 feet away! :lol
Brutal line change hurt Philly there, not Bryz.

Blues look lost again tonight. Kings are winning the competitive and psychological battles constantly. Unless they come out and show some gusto in the next period, this series is a wrap as far as I'm concerned.
K i got ya.
Flyers need to win Sunday or this series is over....at least I will be able to shave. Hope mezaros can come back soon

To be fair, seeing a hockey game live is an extremely different and way way better experience than watching it on TV. This is in stark contrast to some other sports that are practically made for television like football.
It's also just strange enough as a sport (dudes sliding around ice on top of sharp blades while trying to hit a hard piece of rubber into a small net, wat?) that it can be somewhat understandably difficult to get into if you don't have a local team with rich history.
That said, ESPN is still terrible and full of shit.
Actually I think the ratings are still lower than the ESPN years
They are catching up to the fox years right now... Remember these huge increases are still showing how much of a decline the viewership has had because of disgusting treatment to the sport
Hockey is on its way back in a rather big way.
He is being beaten down anytime he is on the ice. He was able to rough up pitt's players and dictate play but the devils are being way more physical and it looks like his game is suffering due to it...also looks like he might be a bit hurt

Jake Allen looks like he's going to shit his pants.
:lol
I disagree. Kings deserve credit.
Looks like his head is gonna pop.
I'd put our odds at making the Stanley Cup Finals at about 65% right now.
As for winning the Finals, I want to see what matchup we get. I don't think there's an Eastern team that clearly outclasses us.

Puddles is a Kings fan?
Fuck, I was kinda rooting for them. Next thing I know, Scullibundo will be a Habs fan.

Kings are going to fall to the Phoenix Coyotes, just like the rest of the league.
if only Spielberg had directed The Rocket: The Legend of Rocket Richard...
Because of their massive operating loss? :>
What? You and are are so alike! We both like movies. We both like hockey. We both like fine cheeses on baguettes. We're practically long-lost twins! Don't stop rooting for the Kings on my account!

See Blues, good things happen when you give a shit. Now LA needs a comeback goal in the next minute or so and the cycle will be complete.
