I agree pens fans r so high so low I would not bet on the pens winning tonight and if they loose it's the end of the world and they will say we have to trade geno and put fluery back in. I think we might win the series but it is far from over

Haha for sure. I will say, I had no idea how they were going to match up. The style of play between the West and East is like night and day, and I couldn't tell how the PenSpeed™ was going to look against the Sharks. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they matched up. But yeah, people planning the parade....if the Pens drop this one tonight, you are now heading back to San Jose where the Penguins have been bad, historically.

Maybe we should take this to the NHL thread.

And only an absolute idiot would want to trade Geno. Just a real *******.

Same ppl say to trade fluery which will make sense now bc of muarry but people in Pittsburgh r so spoiled they think we should win every year I mean we could be the blues in the league the same amount of time and they have 0 cups.

 

[jeevo]

Injuries, Bylsma, and Shero's poor draft choices have factored in to our underachieving, and I'm not saying that we should win it all every year, but labeling the Pens' as perennial disappointments since the '09 Cup would be absolutely warranted in my opinion.

Just saying, my Pen15 is looking mightyyyyyy good right now

Remember, this is DickTalk.

Flashback back to grade school:



"You want to join the Pen 15 club?"

"Sure! What is it it?"

"Hold out your hand."

Let's blame shero who drafted rust, sheary and muarry doesn't make much sense since they have been key to this run. Just remember is we win this year they have the same amount of cups as 66. So where those pens team a disappointment every year? They also have been to more finals then 66.

Log on to TB
See hockey talk

 

[MooseLang]

Beer Talk > Hockey Talk > Getting hit by a bus > Trade Value Talk

I think that's the official ranking.

 

[Grodd87]

Also when u think of it Crosby will have the same amount of titles and finals appearance as the steelers do in almost the same time frame no one labels them as a disappointment

 

[MooseLang]

If the Sharks win tonight, then both of their games in San Jose, I blame you and nhindian



As for beer talk, it seems like BG Homegrown Saison is getting a lot of love in the Saison thread. Damn, I need to make it to Braddock.



Edit: Also, Yinzer nation was still jerking off to the 70s Steelers in the early 2000s, so it is literally impossible for the Steelers to ever be considered disappointments.

Have you seen some of the teams the Pens have lost to since our Cup run? Remember getting absolutely clowned by the Flyers a few years ago? Or getting swept by Boston in the Eastern Conference Finals in which Crosby and Malkin failed to score a single point? Or in the history of the NHL postseason, how only like 30 or so teams have lost a series while being up 3 games to 1, with the Penguins "accomplishing" that historic collapse three times in a four year span (2010, 2011, 2014), all coming on home ice?

In my opinion, they should have won more in the postseason between the last Cup run and now.

 

[preluderl]

Listen guys... I've been a Pens fan since like March and I definitely think, during my fanhood, they've done just fine.

Polanco for NL MVP!

Doing this in today's school would probably get you added to a sex offenders list and suspended from school for 3 weeks.

There r many teams that have not won and people think the teams where better then what they where the 3rd and 4th lines where jokes most of the years during the cup runs. What's different this year is the 3rd and 4th lines r great. The only team that should of won a cup was the iginla year.

Really, their best chance before this year was 2011. Crosby at the height of his powers, on pace for 60 goals and 130 points. Then the concussion. Then Geno goes down. They blew the 3-1 lead on Tampa that year, but I have no idea how they got up on Tampa in the first place.

The Iginla year, they still had some holes. Bylsma refused to alter his system and adapt, and the Penguins bottom 6 was horrid. They also got a nice Playoff draw up until Boston humiliated them.


Anyone want to send me some Brew Gentlemen stuff in a couple weeks in exchange for some MD stuff?

I can't commit to this...but to any other yinzers considering, been hearing good things about Aslin and Ocelot. Not sure if you're close to either/or, MooseLang ?

I am looking maybe 3 weeks down the road. I am a good 2 hour drive from Aslin and Ocelot.

RAR (realerevival) Brewing is my local. They are in Cambridge, MD. They do can releases every few weeks, and have been making some pretty good things.

Just read this in another thread on TB
******' a. This is worse than the Pittsburgh thread.

Damn we are popular!

 

[kbuzz1]

Damn we are not at all popular!

FTFY

But hey, at least we can post gifs now, right Shug?

I don't know the backstory or any of the reasons behind the PGH vs. TB drama, just kinda find it funny. If you don't live in Pittsburgh why would they bother coming into the thread? That is unless you are looking for suggestions of places to visit here, which we all have been more than happy to help with.

Let us be as dumb as we want to be, if they see it that way. It doesn't effect their lives at all.

They can have their gifs and spam ISO threads all they like.

This, yet the average Pens fan thinks they're the ******* Canadiens. If they don't win another cup during the crosby/malkin/insert future hall of famer FA pickup here, I'd say they're an embarrassment.

Three new beers on tap upcoming for BG:

Named to honor that which has guided us since the very beginning, Shoshin is a floral and balanced summer pale ale made with Hallertau Blanc hops. Built to be a bit lighter and more refreshing than Overgrowth, its springtime cousin, Shoshin has a lush character of pineapple and white grape rounding out a dry, cracker-malt backbone.

Garden Party, the first-ever BG seasonal and the subject of oh-so-many taproom inquiries, returns for its third summer. This clean and crisp American wheat beer made with fresh cucumbers is the perfect companion to porch swings, nine o'clock sunsets, and Paul Simon's Graceland. Serve with a slice of lime for a light touch of refreshing acidity.

Also making a return appearance will be Akamai (Hawaiian Pidgin for "cleverness" or "street smarts"), the double IPA that kicked off a quarterly rotation of juice-nukes that now featuresMammoth and Albatross. This year's batch of Akamai looks to be even brighter and more tropical than its previous incarnation, dry-hopped with huge amounts of Citra, Simcoe, and Chinook hops.

Garden Party will be released on draft in the taproom tonight, with Akamai following suit on June 15th and Shoshin on June 22nd.

You are over thinking it. It's like being way behind on an inside joke we probably won't get. Also, MBP.

 

[bren4220]

How many days did 'Tross last? Getting a growler of Akamai that Friday shouldn't be too much of an issue right?

Just saying, my Pens bet is looking mightyyyyyy good right now
