    Interesting excuse on Versus. "The Pens are just tired."

    I wonder if we'll get that excuse if we lose tonight.

    Crosby sucks against the Sens. Everyone has pumped us up to sweep. This isn't a surprise.

    We should have the talent (Malkin) to pull out the series.

    Yes I think the Coyotes will win a few but not more than the Wings.


    Not true, expansion teams are awesome. Without them the NHL wouldn't exist.

    That's debatable.

    The original six kept the NHL going for over 20 years until the Pens and Flyers came around in the 60's.
    The television market share wouldn't have been what it is today, merchandising wouldn't be what it is today. The Pens and Flyers gave the NHL new markets to cash in on. The expansion out west (Cali, in particular), is a huge gold mine for hockey.

    Indeed, but the NHL would still exist. Obviously it wouldn't be as popular as it is today.

    The girl they showed in the stands when they scored is somebody I know from Penn State. That's the second time she's been on TV, WTF.
