I agree.
I've seen my fair share of those at the Bridge as well.
Talk about heated.

Pekka was on fire tonight.
Done going to CBJ games for a bit, they always lose

2 goals in a 1:04 late in the 3rd and the Pens tie the Panthers heading to OT!
The point assures the Penguins will be in 1st place in the conference through Christmas Break.
Helluva job by the Wilkes Barre Scranton Baby Pens tonight in Florida.

The Pens' loss tonight ends a pretty remarkable streak. The top 4 teams in the Metro had won 16 consecutive games combined until the Pens' loss. Every team had won at least 4 in a row. They had gone over a week without any one of the playoff position teams losing a single point.
All of a sudden, the Metro couldn't lose.

What's more amazing is despite all the injuries and mumps outbreak, there still isn't a team that can beat the Pens in regulation.
Just remarkable what these guys are doing and overcoming some incredible weird/rare times right now.
Never been prouder of the organization.

Well, the 5-0-3 streak includes only two wins over teams in current playoff position (and one loss to a playoff team). This has been a pretty soft part of the schedule which is a good thing due to the mumps thing.
But man, what a Mickey Mouse organization. Clearly lying about the mumps outbreak while Crosby's face looked like one of the masks from Brazil is just dangerous. I mean, they visited a children's hospital that day. And this is the same team that completely mismanaged Crosby's concussions, letting him play when he was clearly concussed, making a severe injury even more severe. And the whole reason they have a mumps outbreak is because of their medical staff burying their heads in the sand. Seriously, WTF is wrong with their medical guys?

Yeah hog but you guys would not have nearly the same success in the west. Just sayin'.
One thought though - maybe the pens should get the mumps for te playoffs?

UPMC though! One of the Pens biggest sponsors.
Although I'm pretty sure the guy that handled Crosby was fired years ago shortly after that went down.
But my god how do you not contain this thing by now? 9 players have shown symptoms now on the team, with 4 of them testing positive, and no word yet on Greiss/Downie/Sutter test results.
It's fricking insane.
You add in Maatta's tumors, and Dupuis with blood clot in lung, and this is BY FAR the weirdest season maybe in Penguins history.

Meh, I don't find the West any more stronger than the East this year but that's my opinion.
Obviously starting 9 AHL players isn't a recipe for success for long, luckily the mumps thing passes quick and Crosby only missed 3 games from it, should have at least 3-4 back after Christmas break.
The Pens are going to rack up 100+ man games lost this month alone, and are still chuggin' right along 5-0-3.
Tbh on the defensive side it's not that surprising, everyone has known for a few years now the Pens are stockpiled with young stud D men in the farm, they're stepping up right now.
Unfortunately tonight Blake Comeau injured his wrist and early prognosis isn't good, so we'll probably see another young NHL debut next week with our 1st round pick in June, Kasperi Kapenen.

Penguins' absentee roll call: Adams, Bennett, Bortuzzo, Downie, Dupuis, Ehrhoff, Greiss, Maatta, Martin, Sill, Sutter and Wilson.
Oh you know, nothin' major. Had to dress 7 Dmen WBS players are scattered off for the break already couldn't get them to FL in time, Zatkoff arrived via cab 20 minutes before puck drop to backup MAF.

I know it's hard man. Not having faced a west team with anything meaningful on the line since 2009 - you'll get back there eventually.
On the bright side AV is destroying the Rangers so one less threat....

I'm not scared of any team, sure as hell not Anaheim.
I've seen my Cup, but I want 2-3 more out of this core.

Lost to Florida
Not afraid of
Anaheim
Assume that means
Chicago
LA
St Louis
San Jose
Smashville .

Shootout isn't a loss, goes in the OT column. 6 L's all season, most points in fewest games in NHL, highest winning percentage.
Still not losing even with half the team injured/sick.
7-2 vs the West this season, tops in the East.
Yep, you're right, not scared of anyone.

It's always Cup or bust, same for CHI or LA.

I think it is safe to assume Sutter does not have Mumps... he is American after all

Then it's been a lot of bust. The Pens have only won four playoff series in the past five seasons. Though I agree this team has the expectation to win Cups and needs to be graded on that curve.
the Pens do have the best record right now, and even more impressively, they have 20 ROW, also leading the NHL. They also have a PDO of 103, which leads the NHL as well. they have been the league's most "puck lucky" team (but given their injury problems, I hesitate to call them lucky, I think their luck has balanced - terrible off the ice and terrific on the ice).
That PDO is hiding the fact they are 12th in FenClose, and teams not in the top 10 of FenClose don't win the Cup (usually they are top 5). They are also extremely dependent on special teams, which is a bad recipe for the playoffs, when refs swallow their whistles. I don't think this team has really solved their structural issues, but we'll see come playoff time if its the same old Penguins.
What is interesting is how great Kris Letang is playing. He's been one of the best D-men in the NHL this year, after slumping a bit last season. A legit shutdown pair that can also generate offense (with Martin) is something the Pens haven't really had. Also, the collapse of the Bruins helps everyone in the East.

Here's to hoping for one more this evening!

agree. I love seeing the Bruins suck. All Boston teams in general are nice to see suck.
Going to what I assume is my art ever Islanders game at the Nassau Colosseum tonight against the Habs. Hoping they pull off a win.
