Game On!!!! Nashville going down like a Trailer Trash Whore tonight!!!!!
Go Hawks!!
Not sure how I feel about superstar players demanding coaching changes, but I definitely am not a fan of Bylsma and he had similar issues with Sydney Crosby in Pittsburgh...
Report: Eichel won't sign extension if Bylsma remains coach
Jack Eichel has one year left on his entry-level contract, and the Sabres can extend it starting July 1. (Harry Scull Jr./Buffalo News)

With his evaluation of the season complete, Sabres General Manager Tim Murray is presenting his findings to owner Terry Pegula. They could contain a bombshell.
Jack Eichel reportedly has no desire to sign a contract extension this summer if Dan Bylsma remains the coach, Paul Hamilton of WGR-AM 550 reported Wednesday. Differences of opinion between Eichel and Bylsma have been mentioned throughout the season.
If it indeed comes to an either/or scenario, Bylsma is the overwhelming underdog. Murray has made it clear Eichel is his guy.
“He showed some nights that he’s an absolute top, top player in this league, and that’s exciting going forward,” Murray said last week while affirming his desire to lock up the center. “I assume that July 1 we’ll get a call from his agent and start that. If I don’t by July 1, I’ll call him on July 2 and start that.”
Bylsma has three years left on his contract, but Murray has offered several condemning statements about the coach. The biggest was that the coaching staff did not talk to and get to know the players well enough.
Blue Jackets fight back but I think they're done.
Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.
Blackhawks looked like shit again last night and deserve to be out of the playoffs. The Chicago sports universe is fucked. The Blackhawks get swept, the Bulls are up 2-0 vs. Boston? The Fucking Cubs won the world Series? And I am stuck as a lifetime White Sox fan (and they ain't going anywhere soon).................
Hello Canuckian douchebags!
Man do I like watching those Ottawa Senators play. Go Sens! Beat those shitty cheating Pens!
Is it Crosby? I never understood the hate. Guy is still All-World...
Go Sens regardless
Roth Army Canada
Nashville fucking sucks.
Bunch of cheaters and low-lifes.
This playoff season completely blows
Nashville Predators are to hockey what the Doobie Brothers are to music.
Try removing the bong from in front of your face, drug addict.
This playoff season has been phenomenal. Will more than likely set the record for overtime and one goal games.
I would tell you to go post in a thread about a topic you actually have some knowledge on, but there is no such topic. Anywhere.
Go fuck fuck a AIDS-infected money you fucking sad F A T fuck.
Sens in 7!
The irony of Crosby calling that dude a "fucking pussy" last night!
I didn't hear about that. Details Von
Sid the Kid does it again...just cant stop excellence.
My dumb Canadian friend is a big Crosby fan...
He's a great player but for fucking fuck's sake stop calling out other players for being pansies when you cry like a robbed whore to the officials in half your games and have the magic NHL League protect act covering your ass...
The Crosby memes are awesome, I wish I could find the one where he says to Malkin, "Don't worry honey, Weber can't hurt us anymore"...
Crosby is such a twat. My nephew played against him in youth hockey, and said he was a crybaby then too. The fucking guy goes up to the officials and snivels and whines after every fucking period too. He's more protected than Michael Jordan was.
I honestly don't have a horse in this race. Don't like Crosby in particular or not like him. I just see what he does on the ice.
Gets a ton of pummeling and stickwork and is their captain. You do realize the Captains and Assistant Captains have a specific job to lobby the refs and linesman for explanations on calls, etc.
I don't think I will ever understand the negativity. What more does a guy have to do?
How about not be a whiny bitch?
Yzerman did what he does, without being a whiny bitch. In fact, Yzerman was forced by Scotty Bowman to completely change the style of his game for the betterment of the team. He did it, and was still one of the best Captains and leaders ever, without being a whiny bitch.
In fact, there are many other current and former great Captains that have never been labeled as a whiny bitch.
Where there's smoke, there's fire. Crosby is labeled a whiny bitch by players and fans, because he's a whiny bitch. You don't earn the kind of hatred he gets, just because you're good. There are plenty of good and great players that aren't hated.
I know a guy that played on that Stanley Cup winning team last year. He told me he couldn't wait to get out of that organization, and Crosby was a big reason why. Not the only reason, but a big part of it.
I don't buy it. Dude has been targeted with some pretty cheap shots.

In that Washington game...he gets two shots to the head on the same play...ends up being a huge reason why they beat the Caps, and again a huge contributor in beating the Sens.
All the rest is just people begin jealous. I honestly can;t see any reason to discuss it, it is so ridiculous.
Dude does nothing but man up and win playoff series after playoff series
Well, you might not buy it, but it's a fact. He's a whiny bitch. He didn't get that label from jealousy. He earned it with reality. He's been carrying that label since his days of youth. If it were just fans of all the teams he beats, that were labeling him a whiny bitch, I'd agree with you. But 99.9% of the rest of the NHL players agree too.
Regardless, it doesn't take away from all of his accomplishments, or his true talent or heart. He's the best player in the game, and the best at winning. I guess what I'm saying is, he's the best at whining and winning!
It's a shame the NHL changed the game to encourage those cheap shots too. If Crosby had played in the previous NHL, he would have been more protected. Those guys that deliver those cheap shots to him, would have paid dearly. It's the NHL's fault there is no longer retribution for those acts. A guy in today's game knows he can cheap shot the best player in the game, and he's going to get love tapped a couple of times, or maybe face washed, and that's it. The NHL should be grateful that even though he's a whiny bitch, he is a tough guy. Imagine a guy as talented as Crosby, but without the heart. He'd have been long gone from the game.
A former Sabre that played with the Red Wings, can't remember which one because this was from a 1990's Sabres' broadcast, but he said when Yzerman was in the early years of his career and in a playoff run with the Wings in the 80's against Edmonton, he was getting fucking crushed nightly. Finally, his "wingman" and all around psychotic mob-like "enforcer" Bob Probert skated over to Gretzky and told him something to the effect of "tell your guys they better lay off Yzerman, or I'm coming for you!."
Gretzky's eyes got wide as "silver dollars" and he skated right over to his bench, and the ice suddenly opened for Yzerman the rest of the series....
Yeah, I get that Crosby is a superstar and a very effective player, but to say it's all "jealousy" for not liking him would kind of fail to account for the the other talented NHL stars that don't seem to get the hate. He brings it on himself with his on-ice histrionics FFS...
Well, it's Crosby and Malkin against one of the best top-four defence corp in the NHL...
Gotta beat the Pens and the refs. What a fucking joke.
I don't agree with the one offside call/challenge on Subban's disallowed goal. But, technically it was offside.
I would rather have 50-50 ish calls go the way of the way it was called on the ice.
The NHL puts the refs in that spot though...it was the right call, but in my NHL it is counted.
There needs to be a higher penalty for challenges lost...like a 2 min minor.
The Pens are such a snipe-show. Not sure Nashville has a chance.
Rinne is going to have to be all-world to even have a chance. Not sure how any goalie can stop shots like Malkin's last night.
It's over.
I agree. It is over. Rinne will have to play much better than he has the last two games, and even then it is tough to stop them with all their puck movement. Just amazing. They'll cycle the puck backwards, and then bam! Insane.
I was hoping Subban was going to destroy that ugly Herman Munster looking Malkin last night!
I hope Nashville wins the next game. Great fans there.
Rinne needs to get back to basics...cut down angles on shots by being aggressive.
Nashville is taking too many cheap shots...be more disciplined..
I hope Nashville wins the next 4!
So I watched game 5 yesterday...
Crosby played the best game anyone has played thus far in this year's playoffs.
So clutch in a crucial game.
