To catch Gary up to speed on my friendly exchange of words with Tyler over the friggin' Penguins getting past
my Rangers in the previous playoff series...
From May 4th after Pittsburgh eliminated New York in the Eastern Conference Semifinals:
Nothing against you, Tyler... but don't even get me started as you don't want to hear me say a few choice words I'll regret.
Win a f'ing game where the officiating doesn't provide a gift victory and maybe I will respect your city's team a little more.
The fact that Ryan Malone got away with murder for not receiving a double minor for high sticking is beyond a disgrace.
AND the fact the referees were RIGHT THERE looking at Chris Drury bleeding and didn't make the call.
Your team should be kissing the feet of the officials, NBC and that douchebag Gary Bettman right about now.
Jaromir Jagr being a sissy? What the hell do you know what he said?
You guys complain about Sean Avery, but Jarkko Ruutu is also a big fat prick.
The Rangers beat themselves more than any other reason.
See your God damn team next year and we will get our revenge.
And with that... LETS GO FLYERS!
Tyler's response to that...
I'm not looking for you to respect the Pens nor Pittsburgh. New York lost... and the Pens were successful. That's all I was looking for.
Who the hell cares what he said. It's HOCKEY... if someone can't handle some rough language and nasty talk, then get the hell out of the game. The sissy part came in when he complained to the refs... like a 2nd grader complaining to his teacher "Johnny called me a booger." SISSY.
Unlike the previous series against the Rangers, the fact of the matter is, there haven't been any calls
that have illegitimately benefitted the Penguins against the Flyers... at least in the first two games,
Pittsburgh has actually outplayed Philadelphia so far. Keep in mind most of the Penguins' success
has been at home where they've won 15 straight overall dating back to the regular season.
We'll see how the Penguins fare in Philadelphia before people jump the gun and punch early tickets
to the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals.
