Likely the Hawks at their clip. I'm hoping they will be like the 7 teams that were the exception after winning the President's Trophy and not the others...

His last post may have been when the Leaves last qualified. Can't believe how that dude just disappeared from AZ.

It's the people you hope disappear forever that never do.

Put down the bong, Vokoun is a name-brand goalie.


You have no idea what a no-name goalie is, bud.

Sarcasm bud, I knew it would draw you into this thread

Oh, and BTW, since Fleury was off with his wife while she was in labor, we had a no-name goalie for our backup's backup

And no sarcasm at all...but, if the Pens don't win it all, it will be one of the biggest failboats ever.

That roster is more stacked than the Miami Heat's.

With LeCrosby, LeMalkin, LeIggy, LeMorrow, LeFleury, LeVokoun, Letang, LeMurray, LeMartin, LeNeal, and LeSutter...

There is no team that can match this. All Pens games should be blowouts once LeCrosby and LeMalkin are back.

Dearest Floyd Makin' Money Moogelino,

Since your homeys have already sewn up an invite to the partay, can you please have them mail one in at the JLA tomorrow night.

After the playoffs, we'll treat you to some bottle service and make it rain at The Bank with Evander Kane and the rest of our YMCMB crew!

Yours truly, Fiddy

Kings the bed last night playing the North Stars.

I can only hope they have a bounce-back game tonight (which they typically do).

Be worried, Fiddy.....be worried.
