No shocker: He wouldn’t discuss the fine. But shocker: He did admit that he wants the Presidents’ Trophy.

Wow, Torts wants the Presidents Trophy. Stunning.
Amazing!
Looking at Torts’ career stats, this is the most wins he’s had in his career as a coach. He had 46 with the Bolts in 03-04.
Pens score…
Game’s so boring!
BOB sucks..
Only because Torts thinks it’s a golf tournament.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Paging Michael Leighton…
HIT him, somebody!
devs 3-2 sens want the rangers. gut feeling it happens rangers want this trophy i see them getting it.
sens have lots of speed anderson can steal a game
Damn Debbies….
what a shock Orphik has stuck his leg out three times for a knee on knee in this game so far.
Last one was just against wellwood.
Bylsma pulls Fleury.
Fleury’s out. wow…
Jagr. Yeah, baby
There you go! Jagr!
There’s a chance Eric, that the Senators keep losing because they’re not that good.
wait did Fleury get hurt??
Pull THAT, Bylsma!
No, he’s not hurt – TV guys saying Bylsma wanted to give Fleury a chance at a final win for the season, and with the lead, he took him out.
>>>There’s a chance Eric, that the Senators keep losing because they’re not that good.
They may not be, but NYR don’t seem to match up well against them this season.
ahh, ok, thanks.
Fleury situation sounds like Reyes last year, going for the batting title. Got his hit in the first inning, then pulled. Although he pulled himself
Johnson obviously didn’t want Fleury to have any chance at a final win.
devs win ottawa alive for rangers
Apparently not, LW!
Welcome, Lev.
Frakkin’ Debs….
Bah
craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap
Sumbeeotch!
Will somebody please HIT that rat-carcillo!?
Amen, Jimbo!
thanx, Mickster.
Arghh!
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm dammit
50?
Malkinstein…
Yes, Manny. :-(
I am soooooo excited for tonights game!
it’s actually disgusting how the announcers yelled out when Malkin scored.
It’s on NBC right! I wouldn’t expect anything less of them
I wonder how Mr. Snider feels about all this? After all, he purchased the NHL (through Comcast and NBC) and “his” announcers are squealing with delight about the team that opposes his!
Good evening, Carp, email
Did you get it?
Joe M between the benches. I wonder who is doing pbp
How is Malkin not a male super model? That is one handsome dude.
I’m telling you: carsillo is carsillo, even if its name is Cooke. Also true for Malkinstein, Crybaby and all today’s referees “kangaroo court”. We’re watching postponed annihilation here, my friends. …and “the sea was angry this day”…
Red Sox being blown out by the Tigers! As a Yankee fan, aha aha I LIKE IT! Fielder and Cabrera with 2 homeruns each today. Scary.
Didn’t Gene Wilder star in that epic Mel Brooks film, “Young Malkin”
Here’s my take on the possibilities, and I could be wrong (for the first time). With Ottawa’s loss today, if Washington wins tonight and Florida gets a point tonight, it’s Rangers-Ottawa in the first round. If the Rangers win tonight, it’s Rangers-Caps. If Washington wins and Florida gets zero points, it’s Rangers-Panthers. Anybody agree with that?
Hey Carp, what’s the chances of NBC Sports showing us the “jersey off your back” ceremony @ the end of tonight’s game?
Yup, Carp…
You can actually see the bolts sticking out of the sides of malkin’s neck
... also, Bettman Bonus Points for losing in Rangers-Washington are meaningless except for Presidents’ Trophy consideration.
as a fellow yankees fan lev, high five!
Same chance of me retiring after this game, Artie.
You’re right, Carp. It’s objective…Simple quantum – everybody agree, even lord Lloyd.
... or the chance of me getting an invite to Augusta next year.
Mmmmm, Chocolate creme cadbury eggs
Cindy saying he’s not a whiner. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAA. Delusional
That’s a penalty? GAWD
Must win this game….a trophy is on the line
...momentum is needed to start the playoffs.
... need to spank Ovetchkin so come playoffs he’ll have a sore bottom.
...need to get Gaborik past his 42 goal career mark.
...Hank needs 40 wins.
...need to keep winning!!!
Yeah, I figured. That network can’t get away from the end of an NHL game fast enough!!!
Love to see Phil get another green jacket
Hoping the buys @ NHL Live will show some footage!!! I like that part of the season ending game, seeing the players, after their last reg season game, relating to fans right on the ice
new post.
Going to be a great final round tomorrow.
So,as I understand, to general public disappointment, Slaughterhouse-Five, or the Filthies Children’s Crusade is postponed, Ladies and Gentlemen.
Orpik hanging, as well as a public humiliation of naked Cindy and formalined Malkinzoyd, with following execution, will be held next Wednesday with “mutual respect”. Respectable citizens with children older than 6, cordially invited at first row,s section 100.
