And now the Vancouver ****** bags want to throw fish on the ice like they're original. We just throw fans into the away team's penalty box in Philly.
90% of the Penguins fan base had no idea that hockey existed in Pittsburgh prior to 2005.

Yea, no one.
Can we all agree on the fact that the NBC broadcast sucks compared to the local broadcast? I don't know if it's like that everywhere, but it sure is true in STL. I try to pick which games to attend based on that. Pierre McGuire is a moron. Where's Melrose, Don Cherry, or John Buccigross???
Mickey Redmond and Keith Daniels are great! Bingo bango!

What does my "hockey expertise and history" have to do with the fact the Pens fans are nothing but bandwagon yinzers who didn't know hockey existed in Pittsburgh prior to 2005?

Well, you seem to think you have expertise regarding the Pittsburgh fan base. Tell us all about your expertise, we await your wisdom. Or you just another a-hole from the Gettysburg area who occasionally goes to the "big city" (that would be Harrisburg to see the Bears) to see a game?
ahem, the bears play in Hershey ... see you pens fans don't know anything!
Haha, is it wednesday yet ... I'd like to actually talk about the games!
Barnzy02 said:You probably should be worried. The Flyers never do well when they're considered the 'favorite'. Just look at the Boston series last year ... compared to the year before that.
Pitt, IMO, is easily the favorite. Best player in the league this year, best player in the world coming back to one of the hottest teams in the last month of the season.
This one will definitely come down to the Goalies, and for once, the Flyers are pretty equal there, assuming Month of March Bryz shows up.
The two 4v5 matchups should easily be the most entertaining.
with that said, enough of the niceties:
**** THE PENQUEENS!

Here's something to get y'all going: NHL.COM predictions:

I don't know whether to be happy that 5 of 7 of the NHL.com writers picked the Penguins over the Flyers or to be worried given idiot writers. NHL.com international staff picked the Pens over Flyers 4-2, and both the Network Analysts picked the Pens over the Flyers.
Since Kimelman and Morreale picked the Flyers, I think the NHL should fine them and force them to publically apologize to the Penguins.
In further breaking news, jtkratzer has taken a poll of the officials, and now has further evidence that the NHL is out to get the Flyers.

I love Crosby but that pic is hilarious.
I can't wait for the NHL to screw up the awards again. Erik Karlsson for the Norris is a joke. The guy is glorified power play specialist. Supposed to be best overall d-man. Chara, Pietrangelo, or Weber should get it.
Bwahaha....you can't even bust balls correctly. Typical idiot yinzer, keep up the good work.
The series is going revolve around the officiating, Bettman and the NHL have made that perfectly clear.
arturo7 said:Here's a stat for ya.
Karlsson averaged 0:33 per game on the PK
Weber 2:16, Pietrangelo 3:12, Chara 2:43
Giving the Norris to a guy who isn't trusted by his coach to kill penalties would be a travesty.
Karlsson? Best offensive d-man since the Paul Coffey days.
You really think that Karlsson is better on offense than LeTang? Karlsson is a great resource for the Senators and has had a very good year...but you must be smoking something pretty good to believe what you wrote.
[I'm not suggesting LeTang for this years award...he was out half of the season.]
+1. The 1st priority for a defenseman is to play defense.
Give him the Hart trophy as well!
You sir, are deluded.
Don't worry, I also think he'll win the Conn Smythe!
Buckle up Ranger bitches! You're up first!

Your enough to make me want to root for the Rangers.
