I was unfortunately exposed to the show every day I left school "sick".

I'm finally stoked again about the Pens. Actually gonna watch Monday. No need for parade plans yet but at least, at the very least, they'll be free to open it up.

F constraints....and Volek.

We use both versions here, but usually the version 'gaol' is seen as the one that gets used the most - both are correct though.

It's always very educational chatting with you. What are those wild animals Aussie rednecks shoot with high powered rifles on weekends?

You're thinking of 'roos' - kangaroos.

Bogans are Aussies that, well Martox knows!

Anybody with half a brain could see this coming after Rutherford's last interview and his comments regarding Sprong's playing time. I think there is plenty of blame to go around between the former coach and GM. Rutherford left the blue line decimated, while MJ tried to put a defensive identity to this team. Sorry Mike, but you have offensive juggernauts, let the horses run.

Oh well turn the page and see what Sullivan can do with this group of misfit parts.

Yeah the coach didn't fit the team, but you're dead ass wrong on the players.

Yes. Although they're on our coat of arms, they do damage to fencing & land/crops on farms & country properties. They're everywhere, also now even on dinner plates!

Gotta be a bit happy in the last couple days:
1.) Duper off the book (unfortunate from a personal perspective. not to be insensitive)
2.) MJ fired

We've all be complaining about a number of things and these have been two of them so lets recognized this progress.

Also, i doubt there will be a trade until teams start realizing they won't be contenders. The league is pretty tight right now. Once it starts loosening up, trades rumors will start to mumble along.

I feel like it was all a dream. Is MJ still the coach?

Put the paranoia away until you see what's what. The PP wasn't an issue in WBS.

I didn't watch the entire WB game last night, but it sure seemed like a dominant performance. Obviously the score says it all, but every time I turned it on the Baby Pens owned the puck. This is my only fear about the big club. Maybe they lack some young legs and enthusiasm. It just seems like the Pens don't beat many teams to the puck. I'm not sure you can blame that on the coach.

The best teams consistently beat teams to the puck. Teams like Dallas, Montreal and Washington simply play at a faster tempo.

I agree, they are a slow non physical team. They have gotten away with it in the past in regular season, but always fail in the playoffs. We will see if the coach can change the attitude or not.
