Way to take the whiney, blank and gold glasses approach to you rebuttal against those who are above reproach. The Pens and now their hockeybuzz blogger just continue to be arrogant.

The beauty is that those above reproach folks seemed to be aligning against the Pens...ooooh big reach there...that never happens.

Good blog as usual John.

This will be fun. I hope CanadianPensfan has eaten his Wheaties.

It cracks me up how quickly Torts forgets the knee on knee hit Rupper clipped Stall with....what a loud mouth!

Bravo John. Taking their cue from their coach and head whiner, the whining and name calling continues unabated on the Rangers blog.

Penguins fans might debate some of the line juggling Dan Bylsma throws out there, but few question his professionalism.

A couple of my favorites...cliff notes style...

1. Matt Cooke, blah,blah,blah, Mario...

2. We Pens fans complained after the Isles did what they had to.

Get ready for an infiltration of Rangers fans....

In terms of line juggling, at least he didn't move Orpik to the wing. That would have been just plain silly.

Just his wardrobe.

Yea I saw those comments Torts said, bitter much?

Infilatration implies subtlety. "Barrage" seems more accurate

2 points home ice nough said!

True....

I must say, I did laugh my ass off through Tortorella's comments. As much as he is a douchebag and tends to whine, he's still funny to boot.

If a game means nothing to a team, should teams be allowed to forfeit for safety sake?

Amen. I can't ever imagine Bylsma fighting his battles through the media like so many of these coaches do.

It will be similar to the Blitzkrieg. But unlike France we haven't built a wall that protects 3/4's of our shared border....

Hopefully Stepan isn't out long. You didn't see our coach throwing insults at the Rangers when Rupp did the exact same thing and blew up Staal's knee. When that happened it was a hard play. How 71 & 87 got mixed up in his comments is beyond me. Neither was involved whatsoever in that. I hope those 2 go (frank)ing nuts and take all this bullpoop out on the league in the playoffs. You'll get your shot NY just wait til we dispatch of the dbags from the eastern part of the state.

Most folks here don't dislike Torts, just his incessant posturing / games-man-ship.

They would just go around the wall and come in through Maryland...

I hate the Rangers, but even I can see that hit by Orpik was dirty & cheap. WTF is with all the cheap shots by Penguin players lately? Vitale on Grossmann, Malkin & Crosby on Giroux, Engelland trying to fight Simmonds with stitches on his face, and now Orpik on Stepan...and that's just in the past week!

Besides my hate for the Rangers, I also hate Torts with a passion...but I have to admit that he's dead-on with his post-game comments. There's nothing to disagree with him on. I hate the guy for his antics but at least he speaks the truth. Meanwhile, Bylsma will probably just adjust his trendy reading glasses & say that Orpik's cheap shot was a hard hockey play, he didn't mean to do it, and it was an unfortunate result. Yep, that's what it was.

But yeah, obviously the Penguins are 1st class, top-tier, above-reproach angelic choir boys who never do anything wrong and are always the victims of other teams' actions. Yep, that's what we've learned this week.
