First order of business, the General Manager gets a raise! :beerbuddy: esteef

Datsyuk will play. Even limited Datsyuk minutes are worth it. esteef

...is HOT! esteef

I'm rackin' up the points today! esteef

No s***. Carcillo's probably pissed as hell! I mean he did his s*** between the whistles and got tossed. Malkin's fighting guys after the play's over and blown dead for Christ sakes and his instigator is rescinded before the first commercial break?!! Boooools*** yet again in favor of the Pens and their stars. esteef

Would or should? He SHOULD sit absolutely if the roles were reversed. Bettman and Campbell would be lickin' their chops at a chance to give advantage to the Pens. I also don't buy this, "it'll be better when we win because they had all their players, etc, etc" mentality. First it assumes we are going to win, what if we don't? What if Malkin has a huge Game 3? It's possible isn't it? What if him playing in Game 3 is the turnaround for their series when he should've been sitting? Enforce the rules is all I'm saying. Don't look at the name on the back of the sweater, just enforce the rules. esteef

Just because the fight was weak doesn't mean Malkin didn't purposely go after Zetterberg WELL after the whistle. His instigator was warranted and he should sit a game. The rule is stupid the way it's being interpreted though, basically "message sending" means any player who's known for fighting being on the ice late and starting s***. So this allows players like Malkin, who don't have a fighting history, to get away with s*** like last night, which was clearly what the rule was put in place to stop (teams stirring it up, especially after the whistle, when the game is decided). Malkin got the star treatment period. esteef

Quit copying me! esteef

NHL only uses rules that are convenient esteef

NBC could care less about hockey. They don't even have a pre-game show for Christs sakes! esteef

My guess would've been Cooke or Kunitz as they would've had more opportunity being down low with Big E in the corners and such. esteef

The Breeze. esteef

I have 0 problem with his press conference. Crosby's a ****** but nothing exciting in there, even the love tap to Malts. esteef

Tater Salad!!!! esteef

Don't forget Scuderi has looked good so far as well. Not enough though IMO. esteef

Huddles will dominate the scoring. You heard it here first! esteef

420! :smokin: :hippie: :rockstar: :banana: :carrot: esteef

Excellent point. He also does this: esteef

It will be different cause this time you guys have.............SATAN?!! esteef

All just part of the hoopla to get everyone rooting for the Pens. esteef
