Second year in a row of most excellent Cup finalists.

If PK wins and somehow brings it to the Montreal Childrens then I'll be there from the crack of dawn.

Pittsburgh, aka the City of Champions, just expects a bit more out of its sports teams. You fans from other places just wouldn't understand.

How a city can seriously call themselves that when they have the loving Pirates still baffles me.

In their own zone, the Pens do absolutely everything they can to separate man from puck. They are more concerned with separating the two than they are with coming up with it individually, because they know someone is going to swoop in to support.

It's awesome to watch when it works, but man they do a garbage job of covering zone entries sometimes, especially when the far D man has to come across to support on the coverage.

Well in fairness the Pirates have been consistently at or very near dead last in the league (except of course the Florida teams, lolflorida) in attendance for basically the entire lifetime of the most splendid baseball stadium in the world, so Pittsburgh fans have made it pretty clear they consider the Pirates unworthy of their attention

Good series Sens. Refs truly sucked in this series, and it was totally in both directions. lovely for both teams to be held against some arbitrary, changing standard. Karlsson is the loving truth, this playoffs has been the most I've ever seen him play, and holy poo poo he's good.

I also legitimately do feel bad for Anderson. My pregnant wife almost started crying when she saw his reaction to the GWG lol

I want to make it clear that my wish for several years now has been for a supernatural Sandman figure to kill the Penguins in their sleep, so that it doesn't seem like some sort of escalation later.

Pirates are the second oldest MLB franchise and have plenty of pennants and world series wins, they're just stuck with garbage gently caress ownership and have been for a while.

With all the talk of the Weber and Subban trade, no one has talked about what this series will show: who the real winner of the Neal and Hornquist trade are.

Hornqvist was born to play in Game 7 overtime. If he wasn't out there tonight then he must be dead.

Per Forbes:

The Penguins are worth ~$750m

The Steelers are worth $1.025b

The Pirates are worth $1.25b

The Pirates are the most valuable team there because they are consistently revenue positive year after year and average $55m or so in profit year after year.

they do this because ownership refuses to spend to win, most winning teams wash even or slightly ahead.
