Problem with Van is they need nearly perfect goaltending. 10 straight playoff games without scoring more than 2 goals in regulation


Didn't realize our offensive woes were that bad...

We need some of PHI's rookies.

Will the Pens start a brawl when they are shaking hands after next game?

Good question

Price, I would think. Luongo will still be in the mix.

Who knows what the cap hit is if they buy out Lu?

Which is more of an upset? LA beating us in 5 or 6 (since I don't believe we'll let them sweep) or Philly sweeping Pittsburg in a series that's no longer even close?

I was going to say the same about Kesler. Should have traded him when we had the chance.

We haven't lost yet.

Pens getting swept would be a huge upset. Kings winning this series would be big, but we are missing our top scorer. If Crosby was missing, Flyers might have been the favourites going in.

I think our problem right now is that rather than turning the page on last year and starting over, we've just picked up where we left off. A horrible power play, undisciplined play and no desire to get to the net to score a goal. This series is like a carbon copy of the last five games against Boston.

I hate to admit it, but AV has to go.....can't motivate his team and can't fix the PP.....I'm happy that Lu has showed that he is still a great goalie, but starting Schneider was the smartest move AV has made in the playoffs......hope we see a good game boys....

I think he means if the new CBA includes a one-time buyout with no penalty clause....

I agree, I think Lu has been a star, but if its a goaltenders duel, we're losing. Why not try something else.

I don't like the idea of buying out Luo and letting him go for nothing in return.

At least get a draft pick or some sort of compensation for him.

Flyers are missing Mez and Pronger... although they are still letting in a fair bit of goals... just happen to be scoring twice as many as they are letting in.

Vancouver is done my friend... and its a good thing. I have it on very good authority that the players are deliberately throwing this series to get rid of AV.

He's not a kid any longer, and that meth habit is catching up to him.
