jesus christ have they not used Streit all playoffs?

Nope

Granted with the attrition rate Penguins defensemen have maybe there's some merit to keeping a good decent not totally awful defenseman out of the lineup where he (probably) won't get hurt until he's truly needed :v:

Its kind of stupid seeing internet Senators fans try to convince people they're an entertaining team as if judging entertainment value is a measured and rational decision rather than a gut reaction to the thing you watch in the moment. No living breathing human being is going to go "wow, watching the penguins butt their heads into a 1-3-1 or 1-4 neutral zone trap for an hour is actually an extremely fun and interesting use of my time now that you've told me the senators might win if they do that and linked me highlights of that game where pageau scored four goals"

sullivan loves playing shell games with who's the starting goaltender whenever there's any doubt so i think we're probably going to have to wait until closer to the game, if not for the game to actually start, to find out who's in net for the penguins

everybody knows you need 3 at minimum for a dynasty and by the end of this run the penguins are going to be a finely ground paste so i think you're all safe

If by some miracle the Pens repeat, there will be no players left by November of next season. They will need to forfeit every game, mutant league hockey style.

i loved that game when i was a kid, i dont think i even knew how to pass or score goals in that game until i picked it up again years later while on a genesis nostalgia binge and realized maybe there were ways to win besides killing everybody

andrew shaw was suspended a game during last year's playoffs for saying human being (or at least saying it in a place where cameras were on him such that viewers could read his lips)

Gay slurs are bad and have no place in sports, not sure what's controversial about this.

He should have been suspended but of course lol NHL

the Pens got this series all locked up. No need to play Game 6.

i mean if karlsson can't play game 6 then i feel like that's gotta be as much of a foregone conclusion as the very random game of hockey can have

edit: maybe he will play?

if the penguins go to the finals, whichever coach comes out on top will have the most cup wins by an american coach in hockey history :911:

At the risk of expressing a controversial opinion around here, I hope my favored team wins, even if it's at the expense of everybody else's favored team.

Playoff posting at its best is like an all out gang war of fanbases, fought with hot takes and over the top homerism, and bewbies is simply trying to keep the tradition alive in the face of its endangerment at the hands of Detached Snarky Coolguys with Correct Opinions , who are approaching a critical mass of NHLSAS posters.

Dejan with the dumbest of takes.

Weird how just last week he was writing hagiographies of Sullivan about how he could do no wrong and it was 100% the right move to put Murray in despite everybody's initial doubts.

According to NBC, first finals with 2 American head coaches.

and the winner will have the most cup wins by an american coach, since six american coaches have won a cup but none have won two

also i look forward to seeing how NHLSAS outdoes itself for sports-related hostility when the penguins make pk subban cry
