The Leaves made the playoffs? When did this happen?

The good news for Pens fans again this year....No one complaining about Fleury in the playoffs. At least he's not the problem anymore.

Its the rest of the team that now sucks.

Leafs did it, then the habs. Post expansion the devils, then the hurricanes and finally the kings.

It's happened 5 times total.

Cabby should stick to Ranger game updates because he has no clue what he's talking about.

The most select club is the leafs apparently.

First to come back from a 0:3 playoff deficit.

First to win the cup and fail to make the playoffs the next year.

First to make all hair fall out.

First to the country club every spring.

First NHL team to get me banned from Azine.

Well, from what I've seen, the Pens are too injured to sustain a fair match-up against your Rangers. It's in the later rounds against a healtheir and more balanced lineup that we'll really see what they are made of.

It would've been much more entertaining and a balanced match-up, and I'm sure Ack would attest, if Dupuis,Ehrhoff and Letang were healthy...

^ Which makes me interested to see what Edmonton will do because as they can see...even with 2 of the best players on the planet in Crosby and Malkin, without proper team depth on the blueline, any team is screwed. Will MacT and Lowe get their heads out of their @$$es and trade some of their forwards to get a #1 and #2 D-man?



5 Deanos says unlikely. McDavid can't do it all.

Sure but if they were healthy the Pens would be playing #8,7,6,5 etc.

If we had Kline......

Say this, Kline's absence is not the same as losing Ehrhoff and Letang...that's like you guys being down McDonagh and Staal. Kline is not a bad D-man but he's not a #1 and #2.

How many long ass overtime games has Chicago played in the last few years? You kinda just expect them to win this eventually.

Anything can happen in a Game 7.

So, not to NY's best interest to let this series drag on. Still, the hockey teams with their backs to the walls are still proud franchises. I would expect the Pens to have a nice push tonight.
