Pre-Game Talk: Penguins Olympic Week Practice

[Tasty Biscuits]

Optimistic much?

Who the hell knows, the Pittsburgh media is so useless that this could mean anything.

I was more or less joking, but damn if it isn't taking a long time to heal -- must've been quite the tricky break, but then again, most wrist injuries are.

You should feel free to sucker-punch him right in the nads.

I was joking too.

Well, not about the useless Pittsburgh media.

Hmm, I don't see the Flyers in the top 5 there. Guess their fans are bandwagon fans!

Props to Sabres fans for being #2 considering the awful team and product they have to watch this season.

Buffalonians must stop traffic to watch car crashes, too.

Very impressive ratings numbers. I too tip my hat to them.

I'd say it's Buffalo. Their team sucks and they still watch and show up. Well done, Buffalo.

Pens have one of the toughest schedules, Boston has one of the easiest, i could easily see Boston catching the pens in the east.


NJ having an easy schedule is bad for the pens, i don't want to see them anywhere near the playoffs.

Considering this team's propensity to sometimes play up or down to the level of competition, I'd say that's a good thing, especially 'cause I'd -like- to see us entering the playoffs maintaining some good habits.
