Yeah, I was just asking myself, Where's "Geno" in all of this? Granted, I didn't catch either of the games. But I don't think I've seen him on any of the many highlight reels I've watched. You'd think all this run 'n' gun action would suit him....

A "freak thing" is when you catch a bad groove and twist your ankle, or when Radulov accidentally lacerates your wrist and you have to miss the rest of the playoffs. When a pane of glass tries to assassinate you, that's nothing short of El Diablo.

Just wait 'til the '70s and '80s roll around and they become the Deadators.

And crystal meth.

Loving this.

Roenick has an interesting angle on why the Pens' D suddenly Sucks with a capital S. In a word: Crosby. The logic being, no Crosby = can't win on offense alone = strong D.

I didn't say you used the word "revenge." I took this... Screw all the "we need to get revenge but I know this team won't" haters. There's the door. Kindly show yourselves out and leave the rest of us to bask in the glory of that which is Red Wings hockey. Never doubted this team for a second. ...to mean, "You said we wouldn't get revenge. Well, we did." Maybe I misread. It wouldn't be the first time. As for the other points - I stand by my position. As lame and annoying as fairweather fans may be, the holier-than-thou "I'm a fan, you're not. I never doubt this team. Look at my merit badges" business is right up (or down) there with it. But I'm derailing this thread now, so I'll leave it at that.

To be fair, I wouldn't exactly call Bert's scrap "revenge." You could call the win revenge - and it is (and the best kind, at that)...but I think that, ultimately, Weber got off easy for nearly cracking Hank's skull open. And, seriously, can we lose all the fan elitism around these parts? "You're not a real fan." "There's the door." Blah-blah-blah. We're all Wings fans here. We all want to see them hoisting the Cup.

If anything, it's the officials we have to figure out.

The Pens still are the Cup favorites, probably. Not that I agree with it, or ever did, for that matter.

+1 Todd.

Ridiculously happy with Philly right now.

So our PK is pretty sexy right now.

He is absolutely our best player right now. No contest.

Pretty much. Except for the calls.

Thank Christ. Good win, boys.

The Pens and Flyers make each other look better than they are.

Whooooa, I think that was closer than it looked.

With just a few seconds under 2:00 left to go. So they can pull Rinne and be up 2 men.

Shoot. The. *******. Puck.

Never thought I'd say this, but... I love the Flyers.

Howard = Clutch

E is killing me.

PK.

This is looking like a long PK.
