Gotta play the Bruins with speed. The Pens couldn't have skated slower.

Except that he vetoed it AFTER he had given his list to management.

Richard move.

- Leeman4Gilmour

You are so stupid a list means nothing the only thing that matters is he approves the trade after it happens a list is to just get things going. Obviously he is going to prefer certain teams over others on a list so why wouldn't he wait and see.

Stuck tap to the Bruins and especially to Seidenberg who kept the game for you guys. If not for his stick we are in OT in a couple minutes.

Penguins, I'm still proud of this team and their season. Plenty of guys made ridiculous changes to their games from last year. I can't wait to see what's going to happen with this team going forward.

Lastly, this year has been every emotion at once with you guys. I'm glad to be a part of such a fun group of hockey fans. Always great talking with every one of you.

Quick is better than Rask. However, I agree.

Chicago is smarter than Pittsburgh and Q-ville makes the adjustments needed. I think Crawford is also playing over his head. We will see. Rooting for Chicago in five assuming they don't choke against LA

- Oneonta Penguin

exactly, q-ville makes adjustments, something blysma doesn't do or doesn't know how to do. I think the biggest move in the off season will have to be getting rid of blysma. I say sign and trade letang. We have to get back dupois. Fluery is a goner. His confidence is shot. This loss and the last two years lies strictly on disco

I wouldn't mind AV. Pass on Luongo. We rip Fleury for his play-off performances. Luongo is an older Fleury when it comes to this. Choke city. Just see the Cup a few years ago against Boston. He sucked.
- Oneonta Penguin

You're a goof, watch it again, Canucks didn't score

Lu is the best option out there for the pens if he is a free agent specifically

Do you know something the rest of us don't?

Iginla chose the front-runner, as was his right, but nobody can argue he didn't screw Calgary a bit in the deal.

twice in the 3rd TK tried to do more than hes capable of in the zone, and it lead to a turnover. He has to go.

- Genev21


If he were only ever going to prefer Pittsburgh, he should have said, "I will only go to Pittsburgh."

What are all you getting so defensive about? Three minutes ago, you all wanted him tarred and feathered and driven out of town.

Is there a single Pens fan out there who would consider that trade a success, even for just a rental?

Hey John at least you can go to sleep knowing the penguins were the better team. The bruins have just played better in these games
- Just5


Look, with the talent they have a sweep is inexcusable. Our coach is so nortorious for being unable to adjust yep comes back year after year. If hecomes back expect more of the same. Nice guy but not a great coach. Need more size on D and sits one of his biggest and best skaters on D. poor judgement IMO. Kudos to boston though!

This....

Full marks to the Bruins, they played a hell of a series.

This board has good people, and it's been a fun year from lockout to this.

Now we have a few weeks to figure out who to fire, hire, trade, buyout and sign

Bylsma hasn't made an adjustment since 1982. I bet his wife picks out his suits for him

But I agree.. MAF is not a penguin next year. And I'm at peace with that!

The Bruins kept everything out of their net. That's what killed the Pens.

Never in my worst nightmare would I ever imagine that only two goals would be scored and Crosby and Malkin would be held scoreless.

Agree with this. Plus a change of scenery, getting outta that contract and all the BS in the vancouver media would do him good

Move on from Fleury and Neal. Get Callahans, Dustin Browns, David Backes' types.

Re-sign Cooke, Dupuis, Murray.

Iginla only for a very low cap hit.

Go for Miller, Halak or Hiller.

New coach. Alain Vignault is a name to start with.

See what you get offered for Letang. Re-sign him if it's less than $6M. Trade him if it's anything above.

We don't need scorers. We need heart. We need character.

I want my Penguins back.

Luongo can play 60 games easy.... And then be fine for the playoffs... There ain't any goalies out there that are more accomplished than him, I don't care about no cups or the Canucks deficiencies, Lu was not their fault. If he is a free agent, 10 teams will be calling him, trust me

- Leeman4Gilmour

The only trades I consider a success are Murray and Jokinen and just because you approve a trade AFTER it is made doesn't mean I like the deal I'm just saying people that say this bs about the Boston stuff and how they were on his list is irrelevant. Overall the morrow trade was the worst one I think joe morrow will be a good d-man in this league something I think the pens would benefit from

Has a #1 seed ever been swept in the ECF? Just wondering. I would like more salt poured in the wound.

Too many words to describe what I'm feeling right now.

This will one hell of an offseason. Accountability must be made.

- acdc1206


Has a #1 seed ever not had a lead for the whole series?

I agree with most, but Dupuis. He might want too much on the market, and hes only as good as he is because of playing with 87. Id like to see a better option.

OMG, I am agreeing with Milbury that Bylsma was outcoached again. F'in Blysma you are making me agree with Milbury. I hate that, Dan. Two goals in a 7 game series with this talent, unbelievable. Can't get his team under control.Hey Ray you did what you could, not your fault. Look at coaching please?!
