Yea a group of guys petitioned Great Britain for freedom a couple hundred years ago and it was pretty successful. 😂

Bettman read the wrong name. It was Kessel.

Crosby has a much different personality now than he did then. No more whining or sucker punches (although him and Thornton went at it pretty good). No more acting like a petulant child. He's not perfect, but he's light years ahead of where he was when he played us, in terms of maturity, which is one of the reasons I was okay with them winning it this year. While the Sharks were getting good pressure on the Pens last night, I noticed that a lot of their offensive pressure was a result of good passing. That's one way to get around relentless forechecking. Pass that puck around and wear them out, they can't move as fast as a pass. Then I thought, about the '08 Wings and how ridiculously well they could control and pass the puck around. If the '08 Wings played the '16 Pens, it would still be a good series, but the Wings would take it. The Pens wouldn't be able to do what they did throughout these playoffs against that Red Wings team or really any Red Wings team for that matter. Hopefully everybody remembers this next year when they start complaining about how we have too many "soft players" and we need to get bigger. Bigger equals slower. Film? Y-You mean... that wasn't... real??

Lol for some reason that finals year is just completely blocked from my memory.

They got the Conn Smythe right. Kessel had 3 more points, but Crosby was by far the more complete and more important player. I honestly thought Kessel would win it, but didn't think he should. Sometimes you wonder if they just look to who had the most points and not pay attention to the games and watch closely. I thought Crosby was way more dominant later in the playoffs than he was early on, but the points seemed to follow the opposite. Cullen won in 2006 with Carolina

I doubt there's that much difference.

Parity is a joke. End the Cap now.

How the hell does Fleury get to raise the Cup before Kessel or Murray?

Bettman being booed mercilessly.

If we made a trade at the deadline, that could be us right now.

To add insult to injury, the Pens won the Cup on this day in 2009.

That's the suit Mario chooses to wear on this night?

Has a petition ever worked?

Kessel and Schultz living the dream right now. They get traded from two of the worst teams, and are in the Stanley Cup Final and probably are going to get a ring. Kessel will get the last laugh for all the Leaf fans, especially if he wins the Conn Smythe lol.

oh you mean those sheeple...

Please Kenny, don't pull the trigger on Radulov! Anyone but him.
