Series Thread: TkSecond Round: Pittsburgh Penguins v. Washington Capitals

[Darkstone42]

Yeah it would be amazing but the last 2 years have been fun and I miss watching stress free games. There is no doubt the hockey fans outside of Pittsburgh fans are sick of the Pens and I can understand that. Although I want the Pens to 3peat...I don't care much if they don't to be completely honest.

I want the Penguins to win the Stanley Cup every season until Phil Kessel is no longer a Penguin.

 

[Mangler]

totally agree


I just hope they knock off the Capitals

Pens lady is thinking "he's so cute. I can't wait for his hopes and dreams to be crushed in about a period and a half" probably.

That is actually Bette Midler from her Halloween Witch moving putting a curse on him.

I like the Penguins.

I read that as the "I like turtles kid".

Just when I thought there was a lack of Semin in this thread, the last page delivers

Really miss the Ovechkin, Laich's, Semin combo

I know an extra day will help with the injuries to Malkin & Hagelin but.....

you shut your filthy whore mouth!

Malkin is back at practice as a full participant. Thank God Carter Rowney can now get on with his life's work.

Which would be...?

Anything that doesn't involve wearing an NHL jersey for a living.

I like Carter Rowney. Without Hagelin, the Pens need Rowney. he's a very useful player...can't have a bunch of Letangs running around!!!

Who told you that? How did you find that out? He said he wouldn't tell anyone? I was drunk...and made a bad decision. I didn't even like it! I was at a weak point in my life! I only did it just that 1 time! I'm not even gay! You haven't told anyone have you?

Actually, I can't remember him being terrible. Not impressive either, but the Pens won both games he was the sub.

I'd much rather have Jooris in there, who actually had decent wheels and hands of some material softer than stone.

Rowney is a decent defender, but he loses all that benefit by not being able to control a puck out of the defensive zone or into the attacking zone. There's a reason the fourth line couldn't generate any shots in game one, and the reason is Carter Rowney.

^ Sheahan/Reese/Kuhnhackl is a good 4th line.
Rowney/Reese/Kuhnhackl is a 4th line that only gets on the PK.

Not to bash Rowney too much but he creates nothing for his two wingers whereas Sheahan has awareness in the offensive zone that will give them space.
As soon as Rowney touches the puck the defensive team just doesn't care ,with that said he is over 50% in the face off circle so he has value there.

I see a lot of folks complain about Kuhnhackl, but he's a lot more skilled than he gets credit for, and a decent skater. ZAR is a very useful winger who can crash bodies and has a scoring touch. When those two are with Sheahan, there's tons of size, and they can generate and finish a little offensively. Rowney wastes his big wingers with his lack of skill.

Yeah Kuhnhackl is a very useful player and not sure the complaints either. My only thought is that he gets lumped in with Rust, Sheary and Guentzel who are totally different players than he is.

Damn 3:00 game; who schedules these things?

Kuhnhackl and Rowney are OK but I would rather have Cole and Reaves back, keep Brassard..he's shown me very little.

The last baseball stadium I was at was the Astros' last year. The last football stadium I was at was the Eagles' last year. The lady hockey stadium I was at was the Capitals' earlier this year. Take that for what it's worth.
