WOW!

Even after they added labels that tell you when it's cold? Even after they added the extra wide mouth can for your lips? Even after they made it cool to vent with your male friends? Outside of making a better beer, what more do you want from them?

I'm starting to think you don't like Coors Light. ;D

[size=20]LETS GO PENS!!![/size] [smiley= gameface.gif]

Wings have already been crying about how quick the SCF are starting after the WCF/ECF and about the back to back games. Even Ken Holland has been moaning. I cant wait to hear after they lose the series how much they blame it on this. No Datsyuk tonight either, ill take it. I wouldnt be surprised if he missed most of if not all of the series.

yup, a lot of fans ARE pissed.

I could really care less. I dont understand why he would do it though. He lives in NC, but he doesnt coach there and isnt affiliated in anyway with NC or the Canes.

I always thought and still think he's an overrated coach, and a lot of people here werent as hard on him because he's from Pittsburgh. I have argued with my friends on this, some agree and some dont. He was terrible with time management (something a lot of people overlook) and our special teams ALWAYS sucked on both coverage and returning. I looked it up before but I dont remember the exact numbers, but I think we were the #1 seed in the playoffs 6 times during his time here, and none of those years we made it to the super bowl when on paper we shouldve. A couple we even lost before the AFC championship, and the other 4 were all lost at home in the AFC championship game. Basically im saying, we should have been more successful in his 15 years or whatever they were here. If he coaches again, itll be interesting to see what he can do with a lesser franchise.

I never remember even seeing him attend Pens games. Tomlin and his kids are at a bunch of games though, even in teh regular season :)

Mickey - please change your avatar back to whatever you want.

Thank god the word right now is Malkin wont be suspended for the "instigator" fight at the end of the game.

..I cant believe Im saying this, but I think my hatred for the Red Wings has jumped ahead of the NE Patriots. And my Patriots hate runs deep.

I don't feel too worried about the Pens. I've liked their game, and I think they've just been very unlucky.

Oh I agree, its just disheartening going down 2-0. We've hit a lot of posts and theyve had a lot of lucky bounces.

And how was that not a penalty yesterday when Zetterberg, without being pushed, dove into the net and then Lidstrom gets in the net and holds him down. That has to be a penalty. And a shot hit Zetterberg in the stomach, so it saved a goal.

I believe the only time you can get a penalty in the crease is if a player puts his hand over the puck... which is exactly what Zetterberg did in Game 1 and he got away with it.

But he wasnt just in the crease on this play, he was in the net and part of his body was over the goalline! I dont know. Since he wasnt pushed there and did it by his own means, it would seem to me thats an illegal play.

I'm pretty sure it's not illegal, but if it is, it's in a grey area and hard to call.
