I don't hate the Pens or their fans, just Crosby.


Also this is stupidity, and again it only really comes from people that don't actually watch hockey.


But yeah, I have never been as disappointed in a team in my entire life. I've been watching sports since before I could form coherent thoughts (in before dumb joke here), and I've never seen a team so loaded with talent, with such an incredible opportunity to do great things completely fold like that. This includes some of the high-win Yankee teams that bowed out in the first round, and this includes the Yankee team that actually DID go up 3-0 and lose the series. At least that team was inferior to their opponents at nearly all positions. The Penguins have no such excuse. They let the Flyers want it more than them, and Marc Andre Fleury needs to be re-evaluated if I'm Ray Shero. Yes, he was a major part of our SCF victory, and he's played well in the regular season. But this is three straight playoff series where he has been our worst player and we've lost because of it. I know it's tough to get a solid goal tender but he's got to run out of chances in the post season at some point.

At the end of the day this Penguins team should've been a dynasty like Gretzky's Oilers were with the talent that they've had, and from top to bottom they've let that opportunity slip. They should be embarrassed with themselves and as far as I'm concerned top to bottom they should all give their paychecks for April back because they sure as hell didn't earn them. What a joke. I am so ashamed to call myself a Penguins fan right now. Ugh.

You know, as someone who likes a team that is prone to playoff disappointment, I feel your pain here. But honestly. I want you to answer me one question.

Exactly who do you think you're going to get that's any better?

Fans of the Canucks or Maple Leafs could be considered the same, but those fans get insufferable at times as well.

Kings tie it!

OK. So who else? Vokoun is available. Want him? Never won a playoff series ever IIRC. Maybe the Kings will trade you Bernier for Letang. Deal?

Honestly, I know he had a terrible series. But it's just that... A terrible series. The guy is still pretty clearly in the Top 10 leaguewide. Maybe you should trade Crosby and Malkin to sign Vokoun like the Flyers just did. That really seems like it's gonna work. We all think they're on their way to a cup, right?

I would be plenty of money on the Flyers making it out of the East as long as they don't have to play NYR. Also no deal on Letang being traded ever.

This is the excuse I'm seeing a lot, and yes the defense for the Pens was pathetic, but Fleury so many times just needed to make a few big saves to keep us in games or win them and he couldn't do it. Game 1 in the third he was atrocious.

Literally anyone. Bryzgalov had the second worst performance of any goalie in the playoffs. They only advanced because they were facing the goalie with the VERY worst performance.

Kay, new deal. Neuvirth and the Caps defenseman of your choice for Fleury.

They're scoring like it's gone out of style, they finally got the Pittsburgh monkey off their backs, they're feeling good about themselves and if Bryzgalov settles in at all, NO ONE stands a chance.

That's what I mean though. Goaltending fluctuates so easily. Sometimes you're more likely to get a blinder of a series from Braden Holtby than you are from Marc-Andre Fleury who has been a joke in the playoffs for three years now. (Actually against Montreal he wasn't so bad, that was more about Halak).

Well you don't HAVE to take a d-man. Neuvirth for Fleury straight up. As of today, Neuvirth has won more playoff series than Vokoun and Anderson combined <_<

So again you are ignorant to the facts, even after I've laid it out for you.

Anderson has similar career numbers to Price and Halak who are both highly touted goalies. Anderson's playoff numbers are better than both FWIW in a smaller sample.

Ignorance is bliss though.

I'm really not feeling this at all. Maybe it's because I just assumed the Kings would lose this one and their only real shot would be next game at home.
