The more I post Herr the better the pens do, but I almost want them to win, because they'd be wayyyy easier to beat then NY because Sydney can't keep his team controlled.

We actually have a good record against the Rangers this year, so I wouldn't mind playing them. I just want the Pens out. They're a streaky team and if they would somehow come back and win this series, they'll be a pain to knock out. And as much as I'd like to listen to NBC praise the greatness of Crosby, I'd rather just see the disappointed look on his face during the handshake after Game 5.

It really does suck to be the Pens right now and think about how their fortunes could have been different in prior years if Fleury was as calm and as good as he appears to be now. Now that Fleury plays well, you've got a team that is playing without 3 of their top 4 defensemen and while Crosby is playing well, Malkin is clearly hurt or slumping horribly.

And yet no one seems to be watching!

NY leads series 2-1, tied 1 all in the third. Fleury's faced 19 shots. He Who Shall Not Be Named still has a worse playoff 'stache than I do. Rangers are icing the puck and are offsides constantly. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, that NY isn't manhandling the Pens.

If he went through the handshake line.

You make some quality, quality points there.

Rangers win!

So what changes come to Pittsburgh this summer?

Bye Pens! :tounge:

What changes should they make or what changes will they make? They need to stop trading good young d-men for rentals. They need to hang onto draft picks. Honestly, I think they would be better off with a cheaper goalie and use that money towards getting another good forward for Crosby to play alongside.

The changes they will make will be minimal. They'll drop a few forwards, probably the rentals they got this year. Maybe lose Martin. Overpay in free agency for replacements and continue to get worse. We complain about Holland a lot of this board and I think a lot of it is justified, but at the same time, he's not willing to overpay for mediocrity, which other teams like the Pens do and that's a big part of our success. Yeah, we're not favorites to win the Cup right now, but I would much rather have a team full of young guys that we drafted and came through our system on our team and have cap space, than be right up against the cap, and be forced to overpay for veterans because there's no one in the minors worth calling up.

Kinda sucks for Crosby, he's regarded as the best in the league but he's going to be exiting his prime possibly with only one Stanley cup.

Whatever, I hate him and al who suck up to him and have put him on the pedastal he doesn't deserve to be on

Time for Chicago to get eliminated.
