Alright what's going on in the *sigh* MassMutual East Division? Chara is a Cap now?

It'll be like watching a team that finally doesn't have Cujo; phew!

I love the time right before the first Pens of the season. It's the calm before your 5 months of posting aboot how old & shitty the team is and how much management sucks.

Top 2 points last season?

Wow

I think Pens are looking at 0-4

Why get rid of them when you can finish last with them?

Well you aren't gonna get rid of Crosby, just not going to happen. Malkin only has this and next year left?

Getting rid of Crosby? I'd go ballistic.
I love Geno but I could live with it.

I mean LeTang is a no-brainer. No one knows why the fuck he is on the team for the last 4 seasons other than to make it easier for the ladies to watch games

Jesus another year of OT wins? Better than loses !

!!

What will all his posts be aboot now?!?

What is Babcock's blemish?

Gotcha thanks. EDIT: Yeah I didn't here much of that when here was here...weird.

Was loved down here too...but he was a dumbass Canadian Archie Bunker; which worked awesome in the 70s.

Missing Rutherford already?!?

But seriously, yeah we all see that needed to happen. Even if he was better the frailty of his body is enough to get rid of.

Wow...power packed PBR!

So I throw on my Pens sweater and grab 8 beer for some pre playoff action. Pop on the TV and th3 fucking game isn't on wtf?! Blockbuster game, Carter 4 goals, and I got nothing.

Edit: Wilson being Wilson, and the league loves it.
Not really a shock.

I'll file that away, thanks so much for the info!

Very nice

I hope his knee is fine and he gets a clean bill of health.

And then a bus runs over his head on the way home.

Pens game Noon on Sunday...wtf.

I was just telling my brother everything is set up perfect. We get Boston & Caps to beat the shit out of each other while the Pens quietly get bumped by the lowest possible seed ...again
Goaltending is worrisome for sure. Let's hope it's awHile before I have to throw this thing in the yard in protest

Edit: I'll get the yearly voodoo going pwr usual by watching the final game of 92 cup

That's the new neighbors weeds, believe me I'm not happy

But I am getting one for my birthday next month.

Let's light this candle

Haha...Murphy turtling as always

Captain Dirk Graham ties it up with a Hat Trick in the 1st period...Hawks might pull this one off!
20210515_010657.jpg

Whom the shit are these dudes?
20210515_012202.jpg

I'll stop by to meet you guys whilst picking up some lamps edit: this is literally the best commercial I have ever seen
20210515_012847.jpg

Hawks tie it up, they could pull this win out.

20210515_021423.jpg

Hasak out of the net save!!!
20210515_022129.jpg

Banana George Blair....respect
20210515_024406.jpg

Another huge Hasak save against 66....good move getting rid of him Hawks!
20210515_025732.jpg

Bobby Orr Ron Francis? Put them up by 2....I think they might hold this one out!?!?
Its hard to tell because they never mention how much fucking time is left

Ok I'm awake...
Jesus whom is going to win this cup?!
20210516_005615.jpg

!!!SPOILERS!!!, turn away now if you haven't finished your 1992 Stanley Cup DVD!

Damn I loved The Franchise. Got a sweater or 2 of his and even a Whale stick somewhere. Good luck with the Kraken.
20210516_015046.jpg

Wow CBC, nice way to stick a fork in the fun! I mean i guess its at least black & gold
20210516_015255.jpg

The weirdest part of this is Keenan is completely calm and nice and a very sweet man. Weird because I always remember him as a total asshole, but I think you can like legally buy Valium at any gas station in Canada so he's probably pilled up
20210516_020157.jpg

The only real crime is they end this thing with a cheesy fucking video montage set to *SURPRISE * Bryan Adams "everything I do I do it for you" . Usually I would puke all over myself but I was an Usher at the movie theater in 1991 when "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves " was a hit so I'll allow it.
20210516_021417.jpg20210516_021653.jpg Sweet Christ I put more on this DVD?! 1997 loss to Flyers?! FFS I got a Nooner tomorrow, good night.

20210516_022621.jpg

Bonus...wow

20210516_024943.jpg

Malkin out for Pens, Vermarlov out for isles.

Worst OT defense I;ve seen since the last time they blew a series.

3 out of 4. That lightening game was close to OT

Wow this Avalanche team is scary

I just figured it was assumed!

Man, if Jarry needs to play like that to win this is gonna be a tuffy

Good ol fashioned hockey there.. i mean when its Tom Wilson.

DOUBLE WOW!

1. Pens with a grit win

2. Lightening lose on 3OT edit: whoops, game 3...ot win

Fucking Pens day games...horrible

Yeah Bruins are very scary. Gonna go thru the Isles like corn thru a goose

I feel like just learning how to clear the fucking puck out of the zone would be a great start, but I've been yelling at the TV to "Someone shoot the fucking puck" for the past 15 years and they rarely listen
I didn't like that young goalie coming back in...if you dont crush a young buck right away they can't too much confidence and can bury you; a la young Murphy

It worked for a minute.

Wtf...how drunk are you?!
Not your average meSz post

Starts at Sullivan, that bitch is out.
Guentzels baby tits is out; had enough season only stars thanks.
Mathison is the worst player i have seen in a decade, yes this includes Letang 2014-2020. Dont come on the ice wearing #5 with that shit.
Petter-ass; DEAD! Don't come on the ice wearing Ann Arbor's own Ian Cole 2 time champions #28 with that puke fuck.
Go fuck all of you, same shit diff'rent year you make me sick. I never once thought this "team" would win watching their bullshit letting a bunch of short, hairy, Long Islanders push you around.

20210524_223632.jpg

Well you're close to letting Neil off the hook

THANKSJARRYYOUFUCK.gif

I'll have a flag that says "2 oilers no Cup!"

I gotta work work Wednesday night and I am so thankfull.
Sure I'll get the texts, but I don't have to watch the dumpster shit staine

Not watching, no way they could win on the road they are so fucking soft. Csnt believe they let Jarrys punk ass in the net tonight. But I just got a text from my brother and it seems like that issue will "take care of itself."

Fire everyone other than the 4th line and Jeff Carter and rebuild the team around them.

No acceptable beard for 3 years! But true, frees up some time, anguish, and nausea.

Its bad, but teams have always pulled some shit when it comes to visitors.
2007 & 2008 I wasn't allowed to buy Pens Stanley Cup home tickets because I had a Michigan Area code.
But yeah I mean this is pure shit....it's almost so insane it's like Florida is involved!

Oh man I remember Flurey going 0-4 & 0-3 vs red wings 2008....rough.
He's a really good goalie; but he'll fuck you dead.
Edit: And the Avs are no joke, scary shit.

Wow I just ASSumed it was him but it was the other guy. And left him in for all 7 goals...wow

or 3

It's dirty because its pointless. Goal has already happened and he's not trying to stop the goal anyway.
Total cheap shot, I'm guessing 2 games unless he's got a history.

Wonder how much it being 2 Canadian teams factor into the possibility of anything more?

Uff June is a tough one to go dry. But its 'only a month

I do Every Feb, with a day pass for Super Bowl

Its playoff time, there's no need to apologize for drinking!

Congrats!!!!

Looks like we'll clear up this problem too; welcome to aging really fucking quickly now.

When the Isles best the Pens its conference finals time.

Allllllllmost makes me feel better. If the crew was still in their 20s maybe but like sands thru the hourglass....

That's the Fleury i remember.

Uff yeah, I hate that shit. Not as much after wings moved out the west though

You're usually drunk but this is a new low!

Fluery NOT in net

I'm kind of routing for Vegas, but not majorly

Fluery would have had that.
Just kidding, I haven't seen it but congrats to Montreeall. I always like the idea of a Canadian team winning the cup, but Habs are def my least favorite one.

I wasn't. but I thought they were gonna score!
Reminded my of game 7 Wings/Pens 2009.

Bolts in 6

Back to back cups, very impressive.

Hope Yzerman was happy he "came home "

Oh and the Rays aren't looking too shabby in Baseball,. Triple championship in play!

Ha easy question. The beers will be flowing and it'll be "Maple Leaves year again!"

Coming from the NFL thread I don;t think you should open up a new thread every year...makes it easier to search around for things people post years later

Covid + eating like a champion!
