Snazzy

Double this. If you can land a player of Hossa's caliber for 4 - 5 million, you do it!

It's a penguin with a hockey stick. Lol. Imagine if the Anaheim had a duck with a hockey stick... I'd laugh at that too.

pull the tampon out of your ****** and go enjoy your cup. It'll be the last time they'll win it in your lifetime. (if Pens don't go bankrupt first)

Actually, it's Hossa who doesn't want Pittsburgh. Remember?

It's amazing how this team battled through all these ******* injuries. I am so proud of this team. If we're healthy for next playoffs, the cup comes back home where it belongs.

Beating the best would mean beating a healthy Red Wings team. One of our lines was an AHL line from the Grand Rapids Griffins. Congrats for taking advantage of the opportunity. Next year a Caps and Wings series would be awesome! It will help the NHL ratings facing AO!!! He's an amazing player. Congrats finally getting your cup. Enjoy it while you have it, because it's coming back home to Hockeytown where it belongs next year.

Penguins won't make double digit playoff appearances. I doubt their organization will survive for 11 cups either. Once the team stops contending, their fans will bail on them like they did before. I doubt the organization could survive another bankruptcy attempt.

Then add in the fact that the Red Wings were only 60% healthy and had AHL players filling in and Pens still struggled to win. We dominated them and took them in 6 last year. Clearly Detroit is the better team.

^That's a true championship team. The day Pens can make it to the 7th game of the SCF going through what the Red Wings had to endure, then they can try to make a case that they are on the same level as the Wings. Until then, they are on the level as the Tampa Bay Lightning.

You're just jealous of my avatar. Wings dominated a healthy Penguins team in 6, Pens could barely pull off 7 against a depleted and injured Red Wings team. Just one lucky bounce and you wouldn't be here right now. Detroit Red Wings proved that they are the team to beat, even injured. Will the Penguins make the playoffs next year? That's the million dollar question.

Abdelkader will spend more time in the AHL and Kopecky will be resigned.

I expect Abdelkader to play out his time in the AHL. Holland likes to keep the young guys down as long as he can for obvious reasons. I expect to see Hossa in the Red and White for many years to come. Hoss will get his cup + many more. Bank it!

OWNED! haha

Wow, the future of Pittsburgh Penguins doesn't look so bright. It'll be hard for them to retain decent players when they overpay their core and have a subpar goalie with a big contract. I think the East teams will bulk up and Pens will bulk down. I wouldn't bet they even make the playoffs next year. A lot of upcoming quality teams in the East.

Penguins will be filing bankruptcy in the next 5 years and everything else will be forgotten. Crosby will go to the Panthers. Malkin to Oilers.

In your opinion (question directed to everyone), who do you think are the five best young defensemen in the league?

^this --that's why I am calling the Pens fans on here the "internet street team", trying to drum up more hype about an already way overhyped player. Welcome to the forums, btw.

I have a pretty good feeling that Hossa resigns with the Wings. His chance to win the cup isn't over, in fact it's only going to get stronger. Why should Hossa regret joining the best team in the league? It's an honor for any player to play here. Embrace the facts. Detroit is Hockeytown for a reason.

It's hilarious that these Penguins fans wish to scroll around random hockey forums to notify people that "Crosby izzz the BESTESTEZZT PLAYERZZZ IN THE WHOLEZZ WIDEZZ WORLDZZZZ!!!1!!!!!!11" Lol. Crosby has his own little internet street team. haha! I hate all players who dive, cry and complain. I hate classless players and I hate players who *expect* special treatment on the ice. Crosby hasn't earned respect and his antics is ruining the NHL. That's too bad, because I think the NHL could be a very popular sport if Bettman steps down and the new commissioner employs real marketing tactics. We're all witnessing the NHL go to hell, and it's sad. P.S. Pens fans, nobody is saying that Crosby isn't a good player, he is good. But he leaves a lot to be desired... and no, he's not the best. But his true flaw is his character and his poor sportsmanship. Nobody likes divers. Crosby's best talent is diving... it's pathetic, really!

NHL is destroying itself and Reebok wanted to jump on board the sinking ship? NHL is marketing a *****-leaguer who dives, crys, and complains more than a little girl starting her period. The government won't bail them out.... This has Freddy Mac written all over it. Enjoy hockey while we have it folks, because it's gonna go to hell and turn into a *****-league. Reebok is representing the Freddy Mac of NHL; the man who is destroying the sport that we all come love.

Make Bettman happy!

I am a hater. Being that I am true die hard fan of the National Hockey League and what it has stood for since the beginning, and seeing it become a fragile sport in terms of ratings, I just hate to see such a great sport get ruined and tainted from the classlessness from the face of the NHL -- " the chosen one". I hate Crosby for his crying, his diving, his complaining, his unsportsmanship and because he's a *****.... Just the way he handles himself on and off the ice in general. He expects to get favors... and it's pathetic. I respect the greats like Sakic Modano Drake Yzerman Lidstrom And any other true leaders with class. Crosby, who is a good player, is being shoved down the throats of potential new followers of the NHL. Seeing as how Crosby acts, it would be easy for them to be turned off by hockey. I want to see the NHL grow and become stronger and a more favored sport, unfortunately, Crosby is ruining it for everyone. And don't think I am putting all the blame on Crosby, cause I blame Bettman too. Since you love haters like me, then you must hate the NHL.
