even the refs see how strong ovie is
That is very possibly the most Canadian thing I've ever seen.

Jon Cooper does it frequently in Tampa.
I'd be more comfortable rolling 7D if they had done it a handful of times in the regular season. I even suggested it back then.
I'm so excited. This could very well be one of those "once in a lifetime" series of hockey.
I like the idea of 7d but I don't want Alzner playing against a team as fast as the Pens. He's going to get worked.
You never want to see anyone hurt, unless its Claude Lemieux... haha
Brother I was at the USAir Arena 23 years ago Thursday to see the number 2 seeded Pittsburgh Penguins fall to the Washington Capitals......
23 years ago. Wow, I am an old man. This series starts on the anniversary of this same date. I'm not feeling a win for us this year. Just doesn't feel right.
Who knows though? It'll be fun for sure. Not many hateable players on either squad anymore. Maybe Kunitz for us and Wilson for you? That's about it.
Hornqvist is going to be the most hated penguin by series end most likelyDon't sell yourself short.
Crosby, Hornqvist, Letang (injured), Cole, and Malkin are all hateable. And will be hated during the series. Rust, Sheary, Bonino won't be far behind.
I'm sure the list of Caps won't be short either, in the Pens board (Ovechkin, Williams, Oshie, Orpik, Alzner, Orlov, Hotlby, etc etc).
What happened with Alzner? Just simply got worse or did injuries derail his career so far like what's happening with Maatta?

I'd go 7D for sure if any D are limping.
If Barry goes 7D because it just gets his best players into the game, is he going to play Schmidt at forward or D, or both?
I cannot recall a coach rolling 7D all at D before. Maybe Wilson? I would prefer him at F, at least to start.

These Pens fans look kind and honest...
It's a trap!
Remember in that late game against Boston when Miller had slew footed Wilson and Beagle went in for some pay back but Miller fell and Beagle hit him anyway? B fans wanted Beagle suspended.
There Ov is on his hands and knees and Kadri runs him anyway. Right in front of the ref. Havent heard a peep about that

Does this mean we have to listen to Pierre again?
I feel there will again be a biased account of the game. We all know how Pierre favours the Penguins over all others.
Can the NHL do something to improve the neutrality of the game reporting by NBC? It's such a turn off listening to one sided accounts of the game.
I hope to not feel gypped. I've paid me money now give me a proper coverage of the game.
I hate Pierre. Beyond being massively biased, and a complete *******, he is a just a stupid person.
I was watching the Ottawa series the other day when the game went to overtime. Pierre notices an incident that he clearly thought should have been interference and says "If they don't call this one then they have to call it that way for both teams, and if they do that then it's fine." It's the dumbest rationale in all of professional sports: Refs can change the rules at any time, and it's okay so long as there is a make-up non-call or hypothetically could be a make-up non-call given the opportunity. So frigging stupid. How do you write that into the rule book anyway?
Yeah but didn't Miller go head first into the boards?
