Yeah, though my secret wish is that the scoreboard falls on both teams, I'd have to root for the Pens to win the series. Mainly because I think they have no shot to go on and win the cup, while the Rangers could.

Either way, I hate watching that (frank)ing series.

When Crosby bumped Lundqvist and Lundqvist flopped and Pierre defended Crosby, I thought HB was going to get sucked into a black hole

I wish Pierre would get sucked into a black hole and take Milbury, Lundqvist, Crosby and Gary Bettman with him.

I'm hoping someone adds Milbury as GM, then we can move Vinny!!

- BiggE


Vinny for JvR?
Vinny for Hertl?
Vinny for Chara?

This was awesome:

If our math is right, and it probably isn’t, Penguins are now 10-13 in CONSOL Energy Center in the playoffs. Might as well just change the name to The Spectrum.

Eklund has thought this for years, I believe he's been rumored to be traded to basically everyone.
- BiggE

Buff was traded nearly five years ago from Chicago. Anytime Eklund has suggested it, it never made sense. Buff has one year left on his deal, the Jets have brought in Tyler Myers and Buff keeps hurting his team by basically hurting other players. He wasn't this nasty before.

I know having Getzlaf and Perry help.

I just want the Flyers play that brand of hockey. It's like a controlled chaos of intimidation and skill.

Yes, reminds me of those Lindros era Flyers.

I hate them both so don't root for either.

Other GMs told Hextall they were surprised the Flyers were going to miss the playoffs with the roster they had.
- Feanor


Have you seen some of the moves other GMs make?



I wouldn't put much stock in that hearsay.

I worded it wrong and can't edit it as this new layout is beyond awful. But yes I did mean to ask why anyone would root for the rags.
- JFlyers00


Because the Pens winning another Cup would be much worse than the Rangers winning it.

It means other GMs didn't have a higher opinion of Berube than Hextall did.

Stephens is having a pretty solid game. Seems to have some trouble with shooting accuracy, though. Getting chances, but not really making anything out of them. Missing the net fairly often

He's a shoot first player that will happen but we can use some shoot first players here, he'd be a likely 2nd round type pick.

Haven`t seen much of him. He`s ranked 112 for NA skaters. Leads me to think he could be had in the late 3rd or 4th. He`s having a solid tournament, though.

Now if he can turn some of those missed shots into shots right into the goalie's stomach, he could be our new Jeff Carter.

- Feanor


Ranger fans are insufferable in a completely different, but still obnoxius way. Ranger fans carry with them the entitlement of being "from New York", which means you can be a total bumhole but it gets spun into being "passionate" by the media.

But, I absolutely get where you're coming from.

Frankly, I'd rather neither team with the Cup. Go Western Conference!

As a result, I'm still rooting for the meteor in this series. Don't judge me.

He could slide into the 3rd but not much further in my eyes.
