Since the Rags fans are creepily obsessed with us we should make the best of it and have some fun.


Over under, how many of these Rags fans at this very moment are sporting a hipster beard and flat brim hat, let's start at 80% I say over.

dude, they beat us 2 years in the playoffs... and then crashed and burned.

but hey, they beat us in the playoffs.

meanwhile if we go over to their board, they b!tch for a ref to suspend us.

Didn't the Pens beat them the year we lost in the finals? 07/08? Somehow that didn't quite mean anything to me.......'cause ya know, we still lost. At least the Pens were able to close the deal the next year. Not lose in the semi's like they just did.

I'm convinced that Rump Ranger guy still wears his Eastern Conference Champions hat.

Rags fans gag because it's a natural reflex. It's honestly involentary, don't blame them....

It's not just Ranger fans. All NY fans are bigger whiners than any other.

they're entitled. that whole sports city thinks they deserve to win every sport, every year.

it's always funny to watch them come up short though.

I've decided to change up the "F" for the day, depending on opponent; or until someone forces me into it. Cullen is pretty close haha

F replacing "what" with "sorry"

They can gag on each other in their own board. Their team has won nothing in 21 years.

Does anyone know our Wins-Losses with and without Dupuis? He always seems to be such a key piece for us, just wondered if the numbers back that up

he's gotta be hurt right? only explanation


Not sure the point of you saying this. Even if he is playing half hearted, he is still the best player in the league. You better hope for the sake of your team that he doesnt get his poop together.

I'm sure it's good but I don't know the exact numbers. Pens had a very good record before he got hurt in 2013-14 and were really good last year in the first quarter of the season when he was playing.

Don't worry about Sid, he'll start lighting it up about five games in.

It was a jab at you guys more than a jab at Crosby.

I can agree with player usage to some degree. However, I have to say the split PP looks brutally bad. Zone entry, bad. One and done on shots, bad. No overload and lack of puck protection, bad. Missing net, bad. Bad, bad, bad PP. I feel like it needs to be slapped or sat in a corner. OK, that feels better.

F Scuds.

Mackey's twitter had that. Makes more sense. Defensive pairing don't look to have changed at all though.
