hahaha. came from your deep seeded understanding the bruins are gonna lift the cup this year & subsequent bitterness.

i’ll be just as bitter if it ends up being the SJ Sharts (not a typo) who lift it, but hopefully they continue their endless trend of choking when it matters most.

This is why I can never root for SJ. If they end up not choking at some point, the space-time continuum will fall apart.

Boston looking like a machine. I'll be shocked if the Sharks or Blues take them down.

Yeah, they seem to have found that other gear. I think SJ will win that series and I honestly have no idea what a Boston/SJ series will look like.

Well, they did have hookers in the 60s, they just called them "hippies."

He really is. I was pulling for you guys bug time. Your team should feel good about their season no matter what.

He's a big part of it, but it's more than that. They're killing it in all phases. The B's PK is impressive. Canes are lucky to get one or two good looks on the PP....and Rask makes it look easy when they do.

The canes have dominated quite a bit of play. Rask has been the difference-maker IMO.

That's less about the Bruins PK and more the Canes PP which has been awful all year long.

It hasn't worked against anyone.

Which is surprising. Power plays are such a funny thing sometimes. You guys definitely have the personnel to have dynamic PP, but it hasn’t worked.

The Pens should probably have the best PP in the league and go through periods over the years where it plain sucks.

Brind'amour's been in charge of the PP since like 2013.

It's been terrible, and he has this thing about sticking with his original plans and trying to make them work. Hasn't had a real personnel change on the first unit since the first game of the season.

One of the greatest PP's of all time in the league in the 2017/2018 season...best in franchise history. The reason they made the playoffs.

Same PP personnel this season...but a lot of games this season I was hoping they wouldnt get a PP haha.

When I reflect on this past season there were an awful lot of nights they won because Murray or DeSmith stood on their head. I really think they're the main reason the Pens made the playoffs plus Sid of course.

Hot goaltending absolutely is the main reason the Pens made it in.

The Pens game never really changed although there were flashes of the 15/16 style of play. When you have the weapons the Pens have they will strike at some point and they did it when the goaltending showed up.
