Yeah that one won't work anymore lol. But it says a lot about having strong centers over a puck moving D and JB should be stacking up C this draft in my opinion. Look at that Pens D it was weak and paper thin but got the job done. Need C and speed. Preds had NO top C once RJ was gone.

but they also had an excellent D coach though.
Their staff is prepared for times like that

Scott Oake is brutal. The guy asks the stupidest questions.

I was hoping he asked Shania who did she write the song "Still the One "about ? Ek or Dragon?

Pens.

One more cup for Crosby and the arguments can start being made that he may go down as a better 'complete' player than Gretzky all time. And it's a damn good argument considering what Crosby has accomplished in this era. Good for Sid.

If the Pens could do three in a row in the cap era that would be an unreal accomplishment.

Oake is one of the biggest tools on tv with a lot of the dumbest questions. Can't wait until CBC tv is shut down.

I can t recall the last time 3 in a row ever happened. Perhaps the habs back when there was on a few teams

That would be really something to happen these days

Really? I don't mean to be rude but the Islanders run in the early 80's is legendary #dynasty

When you have two great centers you don't need a Norris caliber dman.

That was legendary. Oilers winning 5 cups in 7 seasons stands up pretty good too.

Such a great player, not a big fan but the results speak for themselves.

That was only proven tonight, maybe just an exception this year

That's true. Impressive none the less however.

I think the Habs won 4 in a row twice and 5 in a row in the Richard era correct?

that was when I wasnt watching hockey for a few years. No wonder I always seem to forget about them

other than todays hangover that is

He was. Intangibles. He does the little things so well as well as put up points. Mcdavid is going to own the season scoring title for probably the next 9-10 years but man Crosby sure knows how to win. Truly a pleasure to watch in this era.

Well they have had those 2 great centers for over a decade. So obv more too it. Kessel seems to be the guy who put them over the top. No cups for years until he showed up.

Yes....they're the only team to win five in a row to the best of my knowledge but they also won four in a row a few times.

Carolina 2006.....Staal Brindamour and Doug Weight, three great centres. Not on the level of Crosby and Malkin but still two 1000+ point centres.
