In the meantime, I do appreciate them, Rags, and Bs fans for half my STM every yearWe only have 3-4 more regular season home games with Pens fans before the team falls to a term of mediocrity.
Did you have an ancestor who worked at Ellis Island, by any chance?Goalies are now, always have been, and will forever be, voodoo.
Let's hope for good health for Fred and Pete.
Yes, I'm calling Andersen Fred now because I'm lazy.
Yes, I'm calling Pyotr Pete now because I'm lazy.
Also, Antti is now Andy.
The Pens arent the dominant team of yore, but it's damned impressive they're a 0.500 team with Crosby at 36, Malkin 37, Letang 36. They're poised to fall off a cliff any minute now, especially with Guentzel a UFA and no prospects of note. Their supporting cast is well below average but the team is still being carried by Guentzel, Jarry, and a few old dudes.We only have 3-4 more regular season home games with Pens fans before the team falls to a term of mediocrity.
It's honestly far less impressive when you see the kind of beneficial officiating they get though...they're one of the most stick-happy, clutch & grab teams in the league at this point, but rarely penalized for it. See Svech getting called for Crosby's double-interference. They're doing better than expected probably with that aging core, but imagine how dominant Svech alone (or any other fairly skilled player) would be if he didn't get called for every little infraction.The Pens arent the dominant team of yore, but it's damned impressive they're a 0.500 team with Crosby at 36, Malkin 37, Letang 36.
