How you gonna do hockey like that?
If the Pens make the playoffs they will be delay their rebuild whilst ours is already underway, so at some point we'll be much better than them. Like in the year 2028 or so.
Pens fan here. Thanks for doing us a favor. We'll probably somehow blow it and lose to Chicago or Columbus, but at least you gave us a chance.
I'll repay the favor and root for you in the lottery now. Maybe some of our tanking luck will pay off for you.
I saw your board. I knew all along you guys secretly loved Tom Wilson and now we have the receipts. Never forget!Thanks for f***ing up the Islanders shit tonight, drinks are on us at the Pens board boys.
I was at the game and he was everywhere. He looked really good. Skating legs were there and he had a few really nice shifts in the offensive zone. Very encouraging to see him moving the way he was moving last night.Goose bumps when Wilson like a mad man negates an icing with the score 4-2 exploding into the boards. He must really want the bruins to play pinata with crosbys head in round 1. Wilson played playoff hockey tonight.
They are a below average team with a Vezina goalie. They’ve allowed the fifth most high danger chances behind only Anaheim, Montreal, Columbus, and Buffalo. They’re underwater in most other possession metrics but have the second highest PDO. They’re similar to the Rangers last year except the Rangers had a bunch of young talent that hadn’t matured yet and were buoyed by Shesterkin while the Islanders are old and would be closer to the lottery without Sorokin.Geez. How bad are the Islanders?
I am going to really enjoy watching the Pens get their shit pumped in the playoffs.
Kuzy is checked out.....which is expected now, it just wasn't expected the whole season. How they can possibly continue with him on the roster next year is unfathomable to me.I was at the game and he was everywhere. He looked really good.

I really like Dylan Strome. Seeing him in person you get an appreciation for how well he thinks the game and sees the ice. Terrific pickup by BMac and staff.
Sandin has a lot of potential but there’s some serious work that needs to be done defensively. I think he’ll improve over time but yeah, he’s nowhere close to being an Orlov replacement right now.
Kuznetsov was sad to watch. He used to be must-see TV and it’s a bummer to see what he’s become. Just zero effort defensively and not a lot of compete in any phase of the game.
Snively was noticeable in a good way. He’s a smart player. Could have something there.
Protas and Milano were both pretty bad. Protas seemed to get a bunch of shifts at center but I don’t think he did much with them.
They’re going to re-sign Craig Smith, aren’t they?
I'll tip my middle finger to them.....that's about it. Mutual respect....F that, can't do it.View attachment 685704
Ehhh .. I hate how their mullet rocking fans flock the steps of the museum to chant shit after a win but I feel tied to the Penguins to some degree.
Like two old rivals kinda tip their hat to each other as they ride off into the sunset.
Exactly how I feel. A simple head nod with a thizz face as you walk by.View attachment 685704

Only at 1m a year, then WTHI wouldn't mind a 4th line of Protas-Dowd-Smith for next year.
Nope. They are the Cowboys, the Yankees, and the Blue Devils. I can never be happy for them (Yanks are *maybe* the closest) or their fans.Exactly how I feel. A simple head nod with a thizz face as you walk by.

They should get their shit pushed in, I would think. However, the Pens will have NBC, NHL, and every other N on their side, so I’d imagine it will go at least 6Me too, but remember it's the Pens. Somehow they just like to annoy us, lol.
Don't care about the rest. But I will never, ever, ever feel anything good where the Pens are concerned.Nope. They are the Cowboys, the Yankees, and the Blue Devils. I can never be happy for them (Yanks are *maybe* the closest) or their fans.
Like period, ever. I’ve got buddies of most teams I hate- and I can be happy for them (Eagles, Giants, Bruins, Flyers, Rangers, Red Sox, Tarheels, Wahoos, etc etc etc….), but NOT the aforementioned 4-some.
NOT EVER
A team I supervised at work found out about my hatred of all things penguin and decided to buy a penguin costume for a dress your sup day. I obliged for team engagement purposes with the understanding that they wouldn’t get it back.Don't care about the rest. But I will never, ever, ever feel anything good where the Pens are concerned.
True story (apologies if I've told this here before): Years ago, right after the catastrophe of 2009, some new friends who knew I was a "hockey" fan but didn't know hockey themselves, were flying through Pittsburgh, saw a Pens Cup t-shirt at the airport, and very thoughtfully bought it for me. I never even unfolded it. I opened the wrapped gift and thanked them sincerely. Then I privately told the husband, who's a FLA State fan, how thoughtful they were, but also what that shirt actually meant to me and that it would "never touch my flesh". He immediately said, "OH! It's like getting a Gators shirt! I totally understand. Do you have a dart board? I'll mount it for you." IYKYK

Prior to the 17’ playoffs I held a ceremony and recorded it on FB where I burned it as a sacrifice to the hockey gods.
