You can boo Bettman, but the Crosby sucks chant is across a line. I have seen the Pens win 5 cups on teh road and I thought ever other city had class.

Won some money on the game tonight as well. Had a good feeling and made the bet (despite my posts after game 5).

Meanwhile, it's time to get fired up for the NBA Finals.
Or, the Red Sox are playing a Sunday night game on ESPN. I think it's already in the top of the fifth inning.

Glad it worked out for you, but I would be on the "emotional hedge bet" train if I were in that position.Won some money on the game tonight as well. Had a good feeling and made the bet (despite my posts after game 5).

Good news, though. I hear if the Warriors win tomorrow night, LeBron wants to opt out and sign with the Pens on July 1.

Nashville fans may want to expand their vocabulary. You can only say sucks so many times. As bad as the country singers singing the anthem. That is all, good night
I have always wondered something similiar when I'm with my girlfriends but it's never happened. Probably not with all the adrenaline.

My apologies if that last post came out a little harsh. You root for a team for so long only to have it end it heartbreak, and, you know ...

I would love to see one NHL team celebrate in a unique way when winning the Cup. Or celebrate in a unique way when scoring a goal for that matter. Bunch of white, northern american robots. Scream Yeah! Kiss the cup. Skate in a small circle. Pass it to Gordie.
Most memorable moment of the night was the fan screaming at Milbury.

Yup but Detroit had also won the cup the year before and they're pretty used to winning.

Exactly. No way of knowing how that game plays out if the Preds go up 1-0. Same for the Subak goal overturned in Game 1.
Still, the Pens were the better team the last two games. I'm not sure if the Preds hit the wall or where the version that dominated Games 3-4 went.

When you go out in space everything is light years but down here it's all MPH (or KPH if you live in a third world country). Things move slower here because there is less gravity and Chara is like 7'6 so his arms reach high.

I did see an article that said during the course of each series their shots and performance went down each series after Chicago.

Guentzel had the goals but Crosby was outstanding. I think it was a closer call between Crosby and Malkin.

Pens got blasted in two of their series' and still won. really good goaltending and a couple of the best players in the world will do that.
our Preds blew it.

I agree.
Wow. Had the Pens in five simply because of Crosby, Malkin, and Kessel. Hard to keep up with that.
It's like when Belichick talks about defense. If you're on defense, you're just not as good as the top offensive guys, says he.
Perhaps that's not iron tight. 2000 Ravens excepted. That was ridiculous.
But the Pens clearly were better this series, no matter what stats say.

Footballguy
it was why I picked the Pens. For Malkin to be as ridiculously good as he is, and not even be considered the team's superstar....enough said. (I think he's their best player by a lot)

Next big day is Sunday 18th when expansion lists announced. They'll probably get leaked earlier though.

As great as Malkin is, he's not close to Sid, really. Playing with Sid gives him so much more room to operate d/t not facing top lines and defensive pairings. He's also not the 200 foot player that Crosby is. They're both spectacular, obviously, but Crosby is several rungs higher IMO. Crosby is as good as anyone in NHL history outside of Gretzky, Howe, Orr, and Lemieux IMO.

Pens were definitely the better team in games 5 and 6 with the Cup on the line. Agree that they stole the first two games, but they pretty clearly found another gear as the series went on that Nashville couldn't match.

I'm a huge fan of both Crosby and Malkin. And at his peak, Crosby is/was much better and certainly more complete. I just think Malkin in their current form is better.And I'm a huge Mallon fan.

game 6 was even at best. 5 on 5 Preds had the slight advantage and in all situations they had better scoring chances since they had the big PP advantage. Preds dominated this series at even strength and in close situations. as did Washington.
similarly, Ottawa was one shot away from doing the same thing to Pittsburg after the Pens controlled play there.

Yeah, we can agree to disagree. I'm admittedly not neutral here, but I thought that the Pens were the better team overall in both games 4 and 6 (and I doubt we'll be disagreeing about game 5 LOL) after the Preds looked much better in the first 2 games particularly.

IMO the past year or so has been as close as it gets to a "peak" for Crosby, personally. Best player on the ice for two Cups, two Conn Smythes, a Richard trophy (and who knows on the Ross if he hadn't had that concussion to start the season), and being the best player at the World Cup with a gold medal in between.
I won't be at all surprised to see him win the Hart in a week and a half either. McDavid is obviously electric, but he's not the all around player that Sid is yet.

yep, he's damn good. Of course, the arguments you're making about the last 2 years....well, he's benefitted from having the best player in the league on his line....IMO the past year or so has been as close as it gets to a "peak" for Crosby, personally.

game 4 was closer relative to 1-3 but still decidedly in favor of the Preds in 5 on 5 close high danger chances and overall possession.
