NHL General Discussion

[JonEl]

Curious, how long have you been a Penguins fan for? Even in these frustrating times, try 1993, 1996, and 2001 as letdown years or the years were we were a basement team. Then tell me about frustration.

I miss when you guys were a basement team.

Who do you guys like more going forward? Brayden Schenn or Sean Couturier?

I don't.. and honestly, it wasn't good for the NHL.

Re: 2013 NHL Season

Yeah, I saw that on HF and even commented on it. I am on there as PensFan6687.

Crosby maybe a baby in some of your eyes, but Ovechkin sometimes is a sloth.

Re: 2013 NHL Season

Nobody worse than Fleury? You have a small memory. He was a Stanley Cup hero in that all important game that won us the Cup in 09'. Him, and Talbot. And he posted a 1.97 GAA and .933 save percentage, not to mention two games away from winning a Cup that season in 08'.

Sure he has been especially bad these past two playoffs (minus Game 1 of this series were he posted a shutout), but to say he's the worst ever. Yeah, no. Again, Nabakov has been worse than him. Don't believe me? Look at the numbers. But I agree, he has been the ****s in the past 3 games and was dreadful in that Philadelphia series.

I was referring to these playoffs, he has been the worst goalie, Nabokov may have worse numbers, but has let in the bananas Fleury has

Ive been a Pens fan since I first started watching hockey 20+ years, I remember 93 like it was yesterday. Was it frustrating ya, but we didnt lose 4 years in a row with a stacked team because of the goaltender. The years later, the team sucked, frustrating ya, but in context what more could they do??? Now we have possibly the best Pens team ever assembled (91/92 were pretty good...) and we are facing another first round exit once more due to Fleury

2009?? How is your memory? What happened in game 5, thats right yanked after 5 goals, in 6 and 7 the D stood on their head. Gonch, Gill, Scuderi/Eaton/Orpik. Fleury didnt lose us those game, he didnt win them either.

Go back and watch 2008 game 1 - 4-0 (I was there) more softies.

World juniors, do I need to remind everyone

The jury is out, Fleury guilty of being a 1 million dollar goalie at best

Enjoy the game tonight Eli

Come on now the '91 team had 8 HOFers (and prime Stevens) on the team. No question the best Pens team of all time.

Gee, I wonder what team they beat in the '91 Finals?

I was a North Stars fan that series. The Pens had just beaten the Bruins in the Wales Conference finals.

You too. btw We're tied 0-0. Islanders still outplaying us. Holy crap, we're the underdogs. lol

Re: 2013 NHL Season

Well the Pens certainly turned that around quickly!

Re: 2013 NHL Season

That third goal by Crosby was pure class. This game was over some time ago.

Looks like the Sens will be moving on too.

lol, glad the Habs are done, way overrated, shortened season was the only reason they were successful

As for the Pens, woot woot, sick game, hopefully we finish this Saturday.

If we only started Vokoun earlier.. series would be over

Same equation can apply to the Leafs. Can't wait to see them miss the playoffs next year after a full one.

Hawks making it look easy against the Wild.

Just too deep and too talented.

Crawford's kept them in it with those saves. Always amazes me how some of these guys can stop slapshots from 5-10ft away.
