Briere & Co. Knock Off Devils in Game 1 of SemiFinals, and Giroux May Be The Second Coming of Christ

Michael DeNicola — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 16:11:35 GMT

Naturally the Flyers tend to start their tilts a bit slow. It's why this season's team has been nicknamed The Comeback Kids. Because of that and the defensive way the Devils play, I figured our first game of the series could quite possibly meet extra periods.

Watching The NFL Draft Tonight? LOLOL JK, Two ECQF Game 7's

Michael DeNicola — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 13:53:18 GMT

But, hey, we all gave the Capitals the same doubt. Hell, we never thought Ottawa would take the Rangers this far. And for the love of Joe Pesci, EVERYONE believed the Penguins would have no problems ousting our Orange Soldiers!

I've enjoyed reading these eulogies so much that I've decided (and been asked by a reader of mine) to partake and write my own. Below is the celebration of the life and mourning the passing of the 2011-12 Pittsburgh Penguins

"I Want That First Shift"

Michael DeNicola — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 15:43:00 GMT

From here on out, it's got to be pure skill vs pure skill. The Penguins have proved to everyone, and -- more importantly -- to themselves that if they avert the frustration and rough stuff, they can take each game...game by game...with a victory.

Well, I thought Asham would get 6-games, and Neal would get two separate $2,500 fines. The explanation from Herr Shanahan in his suspension video is what has my blood boiling.

Michael DeNicola — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:04:40 GMT

Forget about the "Comeback Kids". Forget about the majority of our goals scored in the 2nd and 3rd frames. If our boys want to skate away from tonight (and this series) victorious, then it's all about lighting the contest's first lamp.
