Take up the HB torch I have been trying to start by betting with Erik and or Ty on the series with the loser donating to the charity of the winner's choice?

Keep up the good work.

Do this but the start of next season for who will make the playoffs that didn't this year with James Tanner.


Edit: I'm not saying not to do it now just to be clear. Re-reading makes me sound like I'm against the idea. I'm not, just suggesting another way to do it.

"TB will not allow fans to wear black and yellow at their home games." - per TSN

Lame.

If you don't sell out to your Local faithful... why are you stopping the folks that bought tickets and made the trip down?

Putting Rust and Sheary with Crosby is saying we are throwing Crosby to the wolves and hoping TB bites by playing Hedman against that line. If TB does fall for it then the Malkin and Bonino lines need to step up and do the scoring.

Pens need to win tonight. Down 2 with Stamkos coming back in TBL will be very difficult.

Listening to MM for the first time in months...he says MAF's agent is pissed and will demand a trade if MAF doesn't get back in net.

TBH, if you can lock up Murray for a few yrs dirt cheap, or lose MAF to expansion draft...might not be a bad idea to move him.

Not sure how these lines will work out though.

So all the bloggers...if your team misses the playoffs you donate to charities of those that made the playoffs?

@mlindsay.
If you going to report something report the entire truth. It's the same rules as last year it's in less than 10% of the arena.

Yes and no. Mostly because James Tanner makes (I'll say) bold predictions and it'll make it more interesting if his bold predictions have a dollar amount behind them.

Ryan - Adam Gretz missed an obvious one on that list....Tarasenko who is scoring at the highest goals per game average of any current player by a fairly wide margin and has 17 playoff goals. More than Stamkos in about 2/3 the games played.

That's not what it sounds like in the link.

Still lame even if it's only 10% of the rink...
If Away fans are able to get the best seats in the house then they deserve to wear what they want IMHO... never heard this before Nashville did it last year to CHI fans (i think). I just think it's a strange rule is all.

Sheary had a terrible time with the size and reach of TB's defense. He's got to move the puck quicker to be effective. He also tried to dangle his way through too many times. That's not going to work on these guys.

It sounds like the game plan is to chip and chase. Turn the defense and get to the puck first......both Rust and Sheary should be better with that strategy. I'm a big fan of beating the other team to the puck. That's how they've gotten this far.

I'm pretty confident the Pens win tonight. They don't play back to back clunkers.

I remember the Crapitals doing the same thing when they played the Pens in 09. They werent selling tickets to anyone with a PA zip code, and you werent allowed to wear Pens jerseys to their games.

Pretty lame if you ask me. Fans should be able to wear what they want. If its so important to only see your teams colors, have a better fanbase who will buy out the tickets before the opposing teams fans.

That's really the answer for the whole team, and it's something Sullivan talked about going into game 6 against the Capitals. Have to make quick, smart decisions to get the defense wasting strides.

Penguins haven't lost two in a row since January 12th and January 15th.

Your opinion amounts to nothing. All teams have done it including the Penguins. To many crybabies overreacting.

Link to proof the pens have done this? I'd understand blocking out of state ticket sales but a dress code that wont allow the other teams apparel in certain parts is desperate. BTW your opinion matters just as much as you say his does. So good work.

Hopefully the Pens come out as aggressive as the fans on this board.
