NBC Sports streaming is making GBS threads the bed big time. Anyone else dealing with that too?

If you're using a computer I highly recommend switching over to the NHLGames streaming tool from reddit. Infinitely better than NBC/NHL apps.

Made even better by the fact JR kept the good player and traded the bad one for Bonino

Don't make us think about Sutter at a time like this. This is supposed to be a joyous occasion

Still think if the Penguins finish this deal MAF and Murray should share the Conn Smythe

Doesn't seem like there's anything that says it can't be a shared trophy so I'd be down to see that happen.

I was worried that Murrays performance last year was a fluke and that he just stepped up and got lucky. I am glad to be wrong

There's something to be said for Fleury still being a good goalie at his age but even if Murray pumpkins worse than Johnathan Quick we've still got a good 5-6 years to go with him.
And he's bigger/doesn't rely on his reflexes as much so I feel like he's going to last longer than that barring strange injuries.

I mean I'm a Penguins fan and all but is anyone else dreading the moment we begin living in a world where "Ron Hainsey, Stanley Cup Champion" is an actual fact?

You have to think he's the second one to get the cup, too. It's the worst "old guy without a cup" narrative we've had in a while.
Carter Rowney makes up for it though.

I think Jake and Murray are pretty good no matter what team they're on. Especially Murray.

Sheary definitely got the Crosby bump I think.

Eh, don't underestimate the little fella too much. He's a solid as gently caress two-way forward and he's probably good for 30-40 points on another team with minimal powerplay time. Can't ask for much more for a supplementary player.

Yinz're going to win the Stanley Cup for the second year in a row and a thing which crosses your mind is "Ew, gross, we have to put Ron HAINSEY's name on the Cup?"? Yinz poor thing.

Never played in the playoffs until this year Ron Hainsey? Played on lovely Jackets, Thrashers, and Canes for most of his career Hainsey?

Good time to remind folks that Ribeiro has the 40+ regular season games required to get his name on the cup should the Preds win

lol I'm remembering Fedetenko's lil elf face.

It's really disturbing how much of that 2009 team could feasibly be playing if they didn't wash the gently caress out. Fedotenko is 38, Sykora is 40, Kennedy is only 30, Cooke 38, Talbot 33.

Then somehow Cullen is still playing better than most of these guys at his age now.

NHL just changed the rules so Pens power play scoring chances will now count as goals.

So effectively there's no difference?

Hainsey and Maatta are so bad they make Ian Cole look good

Like I never thought I'd see the day I'd watch the Penguins thinking "wait, who is that out there... oh, whew, it's Cole, I feel better now."

I can't wait for the copycat teams to try to ride their way to the cup without a defense like... Dallas...or Edmonton?
Wait poo poo...
I mean I guess Crosby and Malkin are just that good

No, Martin was on Johnston's coaching staff too. It was widely rumored he refused to take the HC job before it went to Sullivan, dunno if that was ever really confirmed though.

Tocchet is of course Mario Lemieux's golfing buddy, so he is going nowhere so long as Lemieux is a team owner.

Tocchet has obviously suffered too many concussions. I'm pretty sure no coach would be better than whatever he attempts to instill.
So bald. So anemic.
