Eric the Mauve posted:Crosby's flat out the best player on the ice 100% of the time that he's out there. Was last year, still is this year, if the Penguins win the Cup he ought to get the Smythe again. But I doubt he will unless he finishes way ahead of the field on points, it's not just a hockey thing, award voters in all sports don't like giving an award to the same guy they gave it to last year.

Either the Penguins win and prove skill and stars still have a place in this game or the Predators win and shove "narrative" up the rear end of a lot of people who deserve it. Uh, I'm not saying the Preds have a Crosby or Malkin, but I don't think think you can say the Preds don't have skilled players. They aren't the ducks either where they are a grinding team. Honestly, what's interesting about this will def be Pittsburgh offense vs Nashville defense. Which will drive the game better?

This is the best matchup and anyone who wanted to watch a minimum of four more games with some dog poo poo 1-3-1 needs to reevaluate their love for hockey.

In the NASCAR threads, we used to joke about the lucky horseshoe rammed up Jimmie Johnson's rear end (based off Kevin Harvick making the reference in an interview). No matter what the hell he did in a race/during the season (and there were a couple years where he was mediocre despite the record book), he'd still find a way to win a race/catch fire in the Chase and win a championship to the annoyance of everyone who'd grown tired of him. I knew anybody in the path of the Pens was in trouble once MAF showed the first couple games against the Jackets weren't a fluke, so long as he didn't implode. He wasn't terribly impressive in the two games played in Columbus, but the Pens still won one of them. When he did finally regress to the mean for good, it happened at a time in which an even better goalie was ready to go. The D was downright awful at times, yet the embarrassment of riches that are Crosby, Malkin, Kessel, the talented supporting cast (Horny/Guentzel/Bonino/Rust/Hagelin, etc.), and the two-headed monster of Good MAF and Murray got them to the ECF anyway in spite of trying to blow a 3-1 lead. It's either a golden horseshoe or a really god drat good hockey team which found a way to get to the SCF almost in spite of itself. Maybe a little of both. The end result is impressive.

Making fun of the pens is almost entirely for the benefit of watching the playoff pens posters trip over themselves to defend them.

Pat yourself on the back if you were a Sens fan that thought this series would make it to game 7. Holy poo poo, what a loving wild ride. Go the Phil Kessel Penguins lead by robot hockey Jesus Crosby.

I was in Pittsburgh for a night recently and it's an okay town. I went to the casino which sucked poo poo, like every non-Vegas casino, and I also went to a cool taco bar that was good and had good beer and stuff. So overall I say it's not too bad.

Yeah, I got nothing against the actual city of Pittsburgh. Phipps Conservatory is cool as hell and there's a really good brewpub inside an old church. I just don't like their sports teams.
