Pulling for Boston so we don't look so bad. Chicago has as many goals as the Pens scored in 4 games in 2 and a half periods.

EDIT: OK now they have more...

I never prescribe to that bullpoop ... root for XXX so we don't look as bad. Didn't watch the game, but Rask was awoken from his dream.

What do you guy think of picking up Danny Briere when he is bought out of Philly, extremely useful in the playoffs, injury prone I know... maybe on a one year deal

And it took a whole round against us for him to wake up sucks to be us.

The formula was pretty evident: trafic in front of Tuukka and move the puck quickly and skate. We couldn't do that.

I could only see him with us if he takes a similar deal to Scott Gomez. Nothing to lose.

Bottom line, if Chicago wins, if doesn't matter in the end. It doesn't exactly make us look worse. Why? Because nothing makes us look worse than being outscored 12-2 and being swept in four games. That is something you can't erase.

Exactly. We were just awful. The best 4 teams in the league were right there in the finals. Nobody can argue against it. Perhaps Anaheim deserved a better end.

Whether it's TK or someone like Briere...there's playoff value and they both wear 48. The difference is Briere is a bit more productive than TK. Of course he makes a buttload of money and plays an advanced role so he should be expected to do that.

It would hurt to see TK signing with the Flyers. Think about that

Briere is a defensive liability at times I guess. People in Philly were complaining about his game all year...he could look good with Crosby...tic-tac-toe bum!

Big money for Shrek, but getting him under contract asap is definitely the right move.

Nice didn't take long but that's not the friendliest cap hit. About 800k more then Sid's hit.

Sid's hit is $8.7 for 12 years though...I think it was a good deal and something we expected. Geno has Ovi's cap hit now.

I'm not shocked or upset just wish it would have been 9 I know it's not a huge difference. Letang won't be as easy as this one I'd assume
What happened last time Geno signed an extension?

I didn't like how Letang sounded on his last interview. Did you listen to it?I could see $$ signs in his eyes. He'll get $7-7.5M from some team, no doubt. I wish we could re-sign him for $6M though.

So what? Its less than he would have gotten on the open market and considering what they get in return for the long term, this is a solid deal.

How much do you think it'll take to sign Mark Streit? I'd say he'll get Gonch's money.
