Same. Though I actually don't mind the Pens... when Crosby isn't being shoved down our throats.

Watching the pens lose their #1 defenseman and #1 goalie and still march on in the playoffs against the caps is kinda like when Nixon finally got impeached, and the ford just went ahead and pardoned him.

At least with Ottawa, they were a bad possession team during the season but are running at 53.1% in the playoffs so far, having played the NHL's best possession team in round 1 (albeit without half of its defence). Of the remaining teams with poor playoff possession stats, St. Louis and NYR got through round 1 mostly on goaltending, while Pittsburgh and Edmonton are benefitting from the Crosby/Malkin/McDavid(/Fleury?) effect.

That's crazy talk, Murray is the goaltender of the future. MAF is the hot hand, so that's who they're riding. If MAF shits the bed bad, Sullivan will swap.

The Pens have been loading up hard on young talent and are not going to throw away a young Finals caliber goalie.

Probably. He's not doing any kind of workouts at all. Fleury had been in full practices for a while when they tried him against Tampa last year, and he lost.

another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

I did not realize until this postseason how much the subjective "defensive hockeyman took a puck to the face/should we stop play?" rule probably needs to just be an objective thing at this point.

This, however:

Pens played like complete poo poo while MAF stood on his head for a period and a half and then Sid decided to do Sid things and 6-2 is your final.

Pens had no business even being in this game. I don't understand how but it 2-0.
