Arrogance is built when you win championships. See Alabama and Kentucky fans.

lulz its not like the pens are a historically dominate NHL franchise outside of the Super Mario and Jagar days and now the sid the kid geno days the pens have been NHL bottom dwellers since the 60's playing in front of half full home arenas

The worst was their whining after the Flyers game which was caused by Crosby's cross check. If you're gonna make a dirty hit, don't be pissed when someone hits you in the face afterwards.

I think the Canes upset the Panthers, and the Rags tank the game on Saturday and the Rangers end up playing the Panthers in round round one while the Caps fall backwards into the division title.

Rangers then beat the Cats in 4. Fun fact: the Panthers are 6-3-6 in their last 15. They've earned 18 points in 15 games and have lost 60% of their games down the stretch. Ain't no loser point in the playoffs - we call OT losses LOSSES there. The Cats are a fraud. A massive, massive fraud. They will not win their first series (unless they play the Devils, who specialize in winning shootouts, which also don't exist in the playoffs).

Torts fined $20,000. Orpik DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A HEARING. No suspension, no fine, no review for a knee on knee check.

Seriously, frick the Penguins.

GO PENS GO!

frick the Rangers, talk about a shite franchise with half full MSG for years and years.

Rangers haven't sniffed a division title/Conf Finals/Cup Finals since they won it all in last in the 93-94 season. Almost 20 years of straight shite.

Torts does nothing but denigrate my beloved NHL including my pal Gary Bettman Just typing that makes me want to go to church...

That hit was so f-ing dirty. And the pens cry like little babies. Tortorella was right on IMO

And that was after a 54-year drought, which is why they used to have the "1940" chant.

And for a good chunk of that drought there were only 6 teams in the league

Rules don't apply to the Penguins. Orpik, widely considered one of the dirtiest players in the game, has never been suspended. The NHL literally violates the CBA and invents rules to suspend Ovie, but the Penguins can do whatever they want without consequence.

The Bruins are at least upfront about being dirty. The Pens are dirty and then whine about it. They are sleazy.
