Just got 4 tickets today to make a trip to Montreal to see the Flyers. Should be a fun two night trip.

The Pens keep losing players. At least we have James Neal still. #6 last night. Pretty fitting we score 2 shorties against our old worthless special teams coach Mike Yeo.
Of all people to call the Flyers the cryers, really, a Pens fan? Crosby is the ultimate crybaby.
I disagree, you have to participate in actual games to cry about them.

It's funny watching Flyers fans (and others) who are so jealous of talent...and to realize they would give their left nut to have Crosby on their teams payroll. Do you really think the Fyers wouldn't trade ANYONE ASKED for Crosby? So, here's the Pens, WITHOUT Crosby, WITHOUT Malkin, WITHOUT Kennedy, WITHOUT Orpik - that's over 26.5 million of their salary cap...still WINNING and being right up their in terms of points.
Also, it must REALLY piss off people in Philly and other places (including the NHL non-player folks) to see Matt Cooke, that no good can-only-be-a-cheap-shot sitting in the top 20 in points to date.
What's funny is watching Pens fans talk like they weren't at the brink of losing their franchise.
Like for close to a decade and a half that no one in that city gave two ****s about the penguins.
I respect the hell out of Crosby, he's an amazing, insanely talented hockey player. However, he was a whiny, spineless brat for the first couple seasons he was in the league and to Flyers fans he'll never live that down, and it will always be fun to call him a crybaby because it drives pens fans nuts.
I'll take the team that hasn't won a cup in 35 years, but atleast every year ices a team that competes and makes the playoffs most years, that had the second highest all time winning percentage in the regular season.
But keep on praising malkin and Crosby for the few more years you have them and then penguins hockey becomes irrelevant again.

I'm a Wings fan, I envy no ones talent, especially ones in street shoes. No fan of any team in their right mind would want Crosby, he's one hit away from being Lindros. Actually, I apologize to Lindros, he could handle his concussions.

Wow, top 20 after what 8 games? And the fact that you post that stat when no one else in the league has played more than 6 games, really? That's called a stretch.

What you want is irrelevant. What I said was that just about any team (well, maybe a couple of exceptions) (coach, GM, owner) would be jumping to get Crosby on their team.I will never want Crosby on the Flyers. He's a weak b*tch who uses his superstar status to get preferential treatment and if you can't admit that as a Pens fan of all people, you're a complete homer or you don't actually watch the games.
I think that the Pen's as both a team and organization have proven that they can operate and be better than half the teams in the league without Malkin and Crosby.
Pittsburgh isn't a big market city like Philadelphia, and for a long time hockey was an afterthought to football (Steelers). Does Philadelphia have a football team?
I can't tell you what will happen in the future, but I think things are somewhat different now even if the Pens do crappy in terms of the fan base. They have sold out over 200 games in a row, and the organization (from a business perspective) under Mario Lemieux seems to be good.
You do know that Wayne Gretsky was considered "whiny" when he was young, don't you?
It couldn't be that Crosby especially seems to kick butt against the Flyers?
So given you are in TN, Nashville's not your team?

As mentioned by others, the Pens have already played a lot of games, so plenty for me to watch. Also, NHL center ice has been free so far, so I've watched and dvr'd a bunch of non Penguin games. Actually, it's more my 9 year old that sets the non Pittsburgh games up and he absolutely loves NHL on the fly. He also knows 10x about what players are on what teams, where they were on prior years, even a lot of the AHL players.

Sorry for being dense, but what do you mean?That's fine if you don't mind lowering your standards.
While I'm venting, James Neal needs to practice shooting at the goal. I'm an old fart and almost believe that I could put the puck on goal more than he is doing.
So, do you think he (Neal) took my advice?James Neeeaaalll!!! Who needs Crosby and Malkin. We have James Neal. Goal #7.

Old time hockey! I'm gonna go watch some Probert vids on youtube.You know what I love about Colorado? Their blood all over the ice.
