It now appears Penguins Fans are plotting to done a Penguins sweater on Rocky? Now see I live not too far from Philly and this is very tempting :o ) There was even a listing on craigslist promising tickets to the game if they pulled this off!


If someone would be willing to toss in a jersey for the cause I'll be more than happy to do the labor :o ) Putting a jersey on rocky would obviously mean ruining the jersey since you have to the the sleeves off.

I hope this guy makes the next step and has a decent rookie season, considering all the hype this guy received. It sounded like Brunnstrom is the 2nd coming of Crosby from all the hype surrounding him.

^^ Yeah I mean it can go both ways. I wouldn't say Philly is lacking in the goal department. I guess mistakes lead to goals, usually in the first game of the series nobody wants to make that first mistake.

i duno, i think biron should have stopped a couple of those, especially the breakaway. malkin wound up for like 5 minutes... that was very stoppable.

Olie has played his last game as a Capital. I love the guy, but Huet got them to the playoffs. As great as Ovie played, if Olie was in net the Caps wouldn't have been in the playoffs.

You don't think they'll keep him as a Vet/Backup and mentor? He's definitely a goalie who's been through it all.


That was a somewhat random thought. Was it in reference to a article or transaction?

i believe it was announced earlier today that kolzig stated he will not re-sign with the caps... not sure what that means, because he didn't officially announce retirement either. i wouldn't be surprised if they offer him a desk job.

jeez, i knew robidas has messed up his nose, but i didn't realize it was that bad until they showed the closeup. that's pretty horrible. i've been sitting here for the last half a week recovering from nose surgery to fix similar injuries to my bone/septum/sinuses and i can't imagine going through what he has and to continue playing.

Osgood interview is on right now, they asked him about it, and he's like I honestly don't care if they review it or not, I don't waste my time worrying about that. I just want to focus on the next game.


What a great answer Chris

not sure what is worse...

sore loser on ribiero part

or sore winner on osgood part (shoving his stick in ribiero's face)

i'd say their stupidity cancels each other out. they both should be suspended a game.

I found it funny how Osgood fell like he's been injured after Ribero's "slash." I'm sure he's blocked slap shots way harder than that. Oh the drama!
