>bernier
will someone just put him out of his misery please
>Riemer Scratched, experienced "tightness".
sounds lewd
>>64561572
All a part of the plan. Place all the blame on one man.
>>64561616
It is

shut the fuck up

Not even once, boys.

whats it like knowing your team is completely fucked?
What the fuck is with this weeb shit in all the game threads lately?
I can't keep pace with all these meme
>>64562023

scaaarr
i'm a pretty diehard pens fan and even i'm tired of watching them play already this season.
MAH BOY KUNITZ
>>64562064
Fair enough. Feels like a recent trend though.
>>64562327
It is and I'm forcing it hella hard.
>>64562327
every time someone shows up on /hoc/ with the intention of half-assedly photoshopping logos on shit, those things end up getting posted a lot
Fucking Letang. He does it to himself.
komarov is such a fucking faggot he wouldnt even fight after that
Is Crosby bust?
>>64562327
>Feels like a recent trend though.
where the fuck do you think you are
>>64562568
Komarov isn't a goon tho. He just plays a very physical game. It was a questionable hit to make but given the option he will almost always play the body.
lel get fucked letang
>>64562582
he busted in your moms pussy though
>>64562582
Most likely hiding an injury.
>>64562605
rekt
>>64562582
Like a baby that doesn't get his way when Phanaof boxes him out.
A bust no, he lead his team to a cup.
>>64562591
and after making a pretty dangerous hit like that on a star player you fight when youre a no name and a no name challenges you to a fight unless youre a pussy.
no injuries not arguing the hit it happens all the time just caught letang in the wrong angle and it looked bad. you fight after that
is the announcer saying Bill Kessel foreal?
kris 'lindros' letang
>>64562627
I honestly don't anyone on the pens would have fought either. I think they are just blowing smoke.
>>64562644
i caught that too, he said it a few times
>>64562644
William Kesselton, first of his name
Kipper spot on with Letang always being vulnerable to a big hit. Nigga needs to learn to protect himself.
Are there any actual laffs fans in here?
I'm just here for the shitposting
>>64562622
And two gold medals.
And more hardware than he can fit in his house.
>>64562657
Cole was challenging him I think.
>>64562657
ian cole challenged him twice. behind the play he held him in the corner and asked him to go then about 30 seconds later after the pens won the puck back in their own end cole challenged him again as the pens were on a breakout.
he turned down 2 fight challenges on one shift after taking a dangerous penalty. not saying its suspension worthy of a hit or anything at all but come on man if youre gonna lay a hit be a man about it and do it when someone's facing you afterwards
>>64562697
always is
FREEZE IT RIGHT HERE
>nigger falls
ministicks in the hotel hallway was the shit
i miss minor hockey
>>64562864
it'll be just as fun if we meet up now and do it right? remember that first time we got drunk in a hotel and bombed the game the next day?
>>64562705
>>64562717
I re-watched the hit, the second guy in threw his gloves.
He probably doesn't want to be baited into get the instigator call. He has fought before. Things are different this year cause he is leading the team in points. Hard to speculate but maybe Babs didn't want him to fight.
That qt behind the pens bench
Fleury stops that 100% of the time.
>>64562940
Damn, she is pretty cute.
>>64562965
anybody with half a brain and a set of functioning eyes stops that.
>>64562936
and so the next year or 2 komarov has to deal with an extra finished check on every shift against the pens rather than just fight once in the first period of a regular season game and get it over with.
it wasn't even a fighter challenging him it would've been no punches landed and a boost to both teams. its his choice its not like it matters in the long run but a guy fighting there is respectable. remember steve moore fought twice in his game then turned down a 3rd fight, which resulted in his cheap shot
>>64563016
Not trying to defend it. I think he should have fought. I'm just saying that Komorov is a very smart player. He choose not to fight for a reason only he knows.
Reimer stops that 100% of the time.
i'm glad gmc found a way to make scoring a basket in basketball pretentious
>>64563044
maybe he thinks he's scott hartnell? I hope he does so he gets his ass kicked and doesn't win shit
if the pens dont win this game I'll kill myself with alcohol tomorrow
Is Bernier elite?
if kessel could make and see the fucking passes that crosby and malkin can make this team would be literally unstoppable. that would be unfair though. I'm so used to seeing sid and geno hold the puck and make the perfect pass I'm not used to seeing a star player not also do it
>captcha
the name of the street I grew up on. weird
>>64563206
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut from time to time.
can anyone explain to me the benefit on not wearing the plastic protectors on your skates now? do they still actually obstruct your ankles?
Damn, Bernier is actually making some saves.
>least conference
>defence
Pick 1
How does Pens' game look like?
Regards, finn with no means to watch the game
>>64563499
youre memeing wrong
>>64563570
Based Kipper
>>64563570
>glenn healy not at 0%
>>64563536
well I'm really drunk and smoking a vape are you that finn? its going as expected really. lets be shit this season and then good in the playoffs
FUCK YOU PUCK GO IN
>0/2 on break aways
good pp t b h
reminder no goaler has gone more consecutive minutes without giving up a goal in the ahl than 21 year old matt murray EVARRRRR
>>64564051
0/3 on break aways
>>64564051
thanks
fuck man, just give the pens the fucking game
k this is a good game
>>64564092
>grab pens stick
>get a penalty
fun
>be canadian male
>get named morgan
>play hockey rather than cheerlead
>>64564209
i used to date a girl named morgan, i miss her alot
>>64564242
I did too. I dont miss her though she left me for a guy with the same name as me and then she went to community college and they got engaged
>pass from the blue line
>ref in the way
>can't take the pass
k
>>64564259
my morgan apparently died after we broke up and ive never had the stomach to find out for sure
FUCKING TROLL POST
ahaha leafs in overtime
>>64564304
dont look, I never look. I stopped looking after I went to school with a guy named will smith and everyone told me will smith died lel. it was just the guy from from high school a year after graduation and he OD'd
whos up for some free hockey?
Holy shit. Both teams rightfully deserve a point here.
>>64564364
neither of these teams deserve anything more than a quick death.
ok this sportnet announcer is legit saying bill kessel, no mistaking it
guys why is it 4v4? isn't overtime 3-on-3?
>>64564433
something about coincedental minors
>>64564433
powerplay wasn't over
>>64564386
>>64564433
retard
malkin is a god. could you imagine if jagr spent one of his old man years in pittsburgh and taught malkin how to shield the puck like him
>>64564448
no the pens started on a powerplay. you cant have a 3on2 pp so in overtime its 4on3 and goes to 4on4 til next whistle. come on canadians
Laffs a shit tbqh
I don't want this game to end :(
>>64564524
NEVER ENDING SHOOTOUT
>>64564524
i'm physically drained from watching these two shit tier teams slap fight. i can't wait for it to be over.
>>64564460
i can guarantee that if a canadian came up with 3v3 rules they would be retarded like that, just go 3v2 and be done with it
>tfw no fleury pokechecks in a shootout
gg laffs enjoy your win
now bernier will spill the spaghetti
The only thing worse than losing is a tie
>>64564524
Fug Bernier deserves the W. Please win laffs
wtf?
Hell yeah, Bernier beast mode. Gg lads
>>64564573
this fucking frog sums up the entire season for the pens. it's awful and i want this pain to end.
Can't bury the Bernier
>THE SHITTY OF PITTSBURGH USA
>>64564573
fleury would've saved the first one on a pokecheck for sure. hey murray's only 21
gg laffs
fucking fleury isn't even hurt, put him in for the shootout
season series over without kessel or seguin getting a goal on the leafs
what a good time
>>64564609
>pengs have a stan lee cup in the last decade
>complaining about a single season
why
>>64564646
>single season
anon this team has had fleury malkin letang and crosby plus rent a star here for the past 8 years. every year is a disappointment when you aren't the best. don't worry in apehoop I'm a sixers fan and I'm incredibly optimistic over there
still think we're winning the cup though dont worry
>>64564640
American "cheese": The pads
>>64564646
Since then the Pens have been one big tease. I don't know why I keep betting on them.
>>64564686
don't you ever fucking hate on barrasso's pads. fleury wears them out of respect
>>64564710
I don't hate on them, I like the choice of color actually. But that doesn't take away the american cheesiness-factor from them
>>64564743
thanks. fleury's actually a faggot that has succumb to faggotry and due to faggot circumstances wont wear the yellow pads this year (its because of money or some shit)
unless something new has occurred since the offseason since I dont follow goaler pads that closely.
some company besides reebok won goalie pads and so fleury is supposed to wear their design and fleury only ever won the yellows on alternate jersey nights and I'm drunk and I'm rambling but I love it when he wears them and I don't think he will this year.
goodnight sweden
>>64564796
Sounds like a big load of faggotry. I should know, I'm swedish.
Goodnight USA
