Sometimes it just isn't meant to be. Time for analysis is later. Right now I just choose to salute the team that won back to back cups in the Salary Cap era.



Thanks Pens, it was a helluva run.

Congrats on a great run. Just didn’t have it this year and there’s no shame in that. I don’t get all the Ovechkin love around the boards I hate that guy. Let’s go Vegas!!

No Backstrom, no chance of getting past Tampa. If his hand is truly broken they are more likely to get swept than win the series.

Nah, we obviously just get Karlson somehow, dump Hunwick and Sheary for cap room, and brind back Cole at too high a price.

We weren't playing our game all series. We were letting their D shoot as much as they wanted and we weren't putting pressure on them the way we did to teams in January. I think the injuries that are about to get reported were pretty serious so Sully wanted us to just wait for turnovers, but I think tactically we weren't playing the right system which is why we didn't generate anything all series.

Can't win them all. We got a lot of luck last year and won 2 cups in a row. We don't need major personnel changes next year and the guys will be hungrier, Brassard will be better integrated, Guentzel will be a year older. We have just as good a chance next year and hopefully we'll get more luck on the injury front.

Great effort by the organisation. 2 cups back to back & a 3rd halted 2nd round. (frank)ing awesome accomplishment by Sid & the boys.

Are u high. Malkin was playing hurt. My god the bottom line was a lack of defense. Letang blows. Olisiak, can't move. Matta is slow as hell. Ruweedle, I is career minor leaguer. I wish we didn't get rid of cole.

see this i do have to at least acknowledge the rationality of this. im over letang, and if they can find a way to move on from him, i have no attachment anymore whatsoever. but there obviously has to be a plan to replace him.

i know youre being facetious, but theres no need to blow it up big time. still have some good run with crosby and malkin. but letang cant be considered a sacred cow anymore.

Unwavering nay. We don't have anyone on this team that can step into the 1D role and a 1D for 1D swap almost never happens unless you're trading with Montreal.

They strategically avoided the career ending headshot on Crosby by Wilson in game 7 though!

Nah. Go Caps. I wanna see Ovi get a cup, and I'd rather the Pens lose to the best.

Trade for a stay-at-home guy and some depth? I was actually thinking that Letang would fit well in MTL.

If you thought I was serious with that bottom line (which I even put in sarcasm font), you don't come around here much.
