It's produced the hockey memes of the week, at least

Pittsburgh pick on its way to San Jose.

It’s a glorious night. It’s like an anti jinx. Even though our jinx had already been lifted.

I actually appreciate that level of caring. Also that being born in this particular moment of human history allows one to care this much rather than grinding every day for food.

I have been a pretty vocal critic of GMBM. I know many on here disagree with me. But thank f***ing god we have not done what the Pens have with JR/Hextall/Dubas.

 

[HandsomeTom43]

Pens board is gold right now. Takes me back when I watched them in Pitt and we won 4-3. I remember reading some fans say that’s the game thst would sink their playoff hopes. Maybe some truth to that. I love it.

 

[Vilica]

I reallllly want to go troll the Pens board by pointing out that serial winner and Mr. Will-to-Win himself Sidney Crosby has won exactly one playoff series since turning 30, and Ovechkin has won 4 playoff series since Crosby's last win.

That is a burn but please refrain and hopefully set a landmine for a random pens fan hate reading the caps threads here.

 

[Pigskin]

Seriously over there they are giving us no credit at all

Keep saying how they are so much better than us, more chance of beating the rags, more entertaining to watch ... f**k those guys

 

[DWGie26]

What a great way to end the season. We served ourselves, but we also f***ed Philly, Shitsburg, and Detroit! A thing of beauty!

Folks have to learn the hard way. The regular season don't matter anymore and now they know how we felt.

Oh I know I'm saving it for a relevant post in HoH in a future Crosby-Ovechkin argument. That way I get to hit the Canadian homers too.

The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable.

This.
Simultaneously eliminating PHI, PIT and DET in one shot is a ----ing chef's kiss to the power of Grayskull

 

[trick9]

Penguins blowing the 4-0 lead with a period left to go vs. Avs ended up biting them in the ass.

Mike Sullivan propably saved his job with this late surge too.

lol, they are desperate for playoffs. Dylan Larkin has been in the league for 9 years now and has played a total of 5 playoff games.

How about Yzerman not doing more at the deadline to help them out? Kane was found money but they could have done more to get that young group some experience.

It took that, the Flyers selling Walker and the Pens selling Guentzel to create the perfect storm. And what a way to get in.

Wings went 0-3-2 against the direct competition (Isles, Pens, Caps) since the start of March.

You can't hand the other teams 10/10 points from these games.

As a Yzerplan doubter this sticks out to me, as well as some of the middling UFA signings.

On the upside, Erik Karlsson sucks very badly and will be a salary cap anchor on the Pens for years to come.

Holy shit $11.5M through 2027 for a defenseman that doesn't defense. Bwahahahahahaha!

There’s a lot of things you can make fun of the Pens for, but Karlsson was good for them this year. Both offensively and defensively. If there’s a D contract they should be worried about, it’s Letangs. It’s a 35+ deal and has 4 more years remaining, and the dude is barely treading water at this point in his career (and still makes all the big brain farts he always has).

Yeah firmy disagree. Karlsson was playing severely sheltered minutes, and he pissed away their season with woeful and untimely poor defense.

With Karlsson taking the favorable minutes, that thrust Letang into a more difficult defensive role.

Karlsson was simply not a good fit from day 1 IMO. Letang already played the role of PMD with offensive upside. Pens should have been seeking a shutdown defenseman IMO. It would have been a more valuable piece given that they already had Letang.

 

[um]

Dubas in Pittsburgh is turning out to be as fun as I thought it would be.

All the dude did was inherit an elite offensive core in Toronto, and he blew it over and over again.

 

[Midnight Judges]

Kuznetsov has a paltry 2 points in his last 13 games.

As if 82 games isn't enough to establish this? lol
