Area 51. You heard of it, right?

Why are you teasing her about the Pens if she's into the Flyers and Stars?

That said, if you want to tease her about the pens just have her watch some games, pens are basically teasing themselves at this point.

Is "what the gently caress is wrong with Marc-André Fleury?" a good enough question for this thread because I would very much like to know.

Technically? He's not good at angles, he does some really, really stupid things trying to play behind the net like Brodeur (honestly he's gotten better about this, he used to do dumb poo poo like tonight at least weekly), and under pressure he does this thing where he just kinda flops forward flailing around. When he has good defense, this works okay for him.

Also he's a pretty bad head case and has some real confidence issues which lead to him failing more and more spectacularly as the season goes on. He spent a lot of time in therapy in the off season and he's looking a little better, but after tonight a lot of people are expecting him to buckle even worse because he's notorious for melting down after a bad game or two.

Yeah that too. Every time you hear "Stanley Cup winning goalie!!!" you can be sure that whoever says it either doesn't watch the pens play, or is Dan Bylsma. He's just not good.

Picking up Vokoun to give him a roughly equal or better backup was a good move but then Vokoun's leg blew up. The Pens have the material to trade for a good goalie, but management apparently drank their own koolaid regarding him being good.
