Well if the Pens don't lose their minds and try to keep Maf I don't see how they have any trouble getting rid of him now. As long as they don't ask for the moon someone is gonna want him after these playoffs. What a difference after the poo poo regular season he had.

Fleury is the only thing that kept them in the game for the first six weeks or so of the regular season. He was really good for a while there. They kept Murray benched for a while in his favor before he went to poo poo.

Sorry predators, I'm rooting for you. The coup de grace of any sports playoff team. Couple that with SAS' love of PK, and I dare say that the Pittsburg penguins are gonna win the Stanley cup.

He had a few good weeks, yeah. Hopefully he can keep it up.

Dude looked shaky on the road in the first round but I think that series win vs Columbus gave him some confidence. Even when the Caps beat him this series he never looked rattled.

Honestly the only thing that would piss me off about Ottawa winning the cup would be having Chris Neil's name on it.
MacArthur and Phaneuf both got poo poo on by a lovely Toronto front office/coach and a lovely Toronto media, respectively, and it would be nice for them to see the same kind of redemption that Kessel got (albeit in much lesser roles). It seems like most Canadian hockey fans that live in different cities from their teams (or at least the one's I've met to date) cheer for Toronto, Montreal, or Vancouver so I'm really not worried about meeting insufferable Ottawa fans.

gently caress Phaneuf forever for getting on Phil about cookies on-camera in 24/7.

Exactly, house money. Also I'm dead serious about MAF, he was undeservedly poo poo on for years and if this is his last go-round in Pittsburgh he's a goddamn hero no matter what else happens this year. You think they beat Columbus with Tristan Jarry? You want your all-time franchise goalie to be Tom Barrasso, one of the biggest assholes on the planet?
