Smart ass pilot....

Baby crying in back of Jet Blue flight packed w/Boston media. Pilot just got on intercom and asked if "Sidney Crosby was in the back crying"
*************************************************************

Pilot asks if crying baby on plane is Sidney Crosby

Right or wrong, Sidney Crosby is perceived as a crybaby by fans across the NHL. Some begrudgingly acknowledge his tremendous skill but bemoan his pleas to the referees.

The reputation hits so hard even pilots are making wisecracks about Crosby. A Jet Blue pilot flying media members (and others) from Pittsburgh to Boston on Tuesday morning after the Bruins took a 2-0 series lead over the Penguins on Monday night decided to try his attempt at humor over the loudspeaker.

Nothing like a little salt in the wound. The Bruins won the first two games in Pittsburgh by a combined score of 9-1.

I'll admit that I laughed. Then again, I spend a lot of time on airplanes with crying babies and staff who seem terribly inconvenienced by the fact that I'm helping them have a job by buying a ticket, so the fact that there's a pilot with a sense of humor is nice to know.

Not to pile on, but look what I found this morning:

Yeah I laughed a bit too. I'm sure Pens fans are not but I just thought I would throw this in the thread.....It would have been better if I didn't fuck up the post. Oh well.

LOL, Yeah I didn't want to pile on either dash but thought it was interesting. Hang in there Pens fans, like Rambo would say "Nothing is over!!!"

It's true Boss - Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

 

[BOSSMANPC]

No Rambo bombed Pearl Harbor.

A little story about me.. when I was 3 yrs old my folks enrolled me a local soccer club called tiny kickers. It was basic teaching. Towards the end of the 'season' we began to play scrimmage games. It seriously only took me less than one half to realize that everyone follows the ball, so if I just found open space near the ball, it would eventually, with a luck, pop out on my side where I would be free to attack the goal.

The Pens are following the puck and the bruins are finding the open ice. I feel bad for Voukon, that man is getting NO help. (Fleury can not stop a puck).

ON the first goal, 0-0... why is Letang pinching down deep? He reminds me of Gogo (JeffSLy should remember this game, turned him from a rangers fan to a bruins fan)... up 4-1 in 3rd and Gogo continues to pinch. It makes no sense, Orpik called him out. Coach DB needs to take control of this team. Letang (a little punk I called him last round) thinks he a forward, and our forwards think just skating back into the zone watching the puck is good enough. Give the Bruins credit as well of course.

If the Pens score first in game 3, they have a chance... if the Bruins score first... forget about it. Pens will lose focus and everyone will resort to offense offense offense... instead of puck possession puck possession puck possession (which typically starts in your own end).

Voukon should get the start... at least he can stop a puck.

Yeah, WTF has happened to Letang? You're right in saying he seems to be out of position half the time and does pinch when he shouldn't (reminds me of a few Sabres Defense men) Reading a lot of this thread most Pens fans seem to feel the same way. Is there another option as far as bringing someone in off the bench or even playing with five d men?

Also agree that Voukon should get the start MAF is not the answer to their problems.

Despres would be the best option off the bench, he provides a similar skill set to Letang. But yea, defensively Kris Letang has regressed. Before he would make a mistake, but have the ability (or desire) to make sure nothing happened from that mistake. Now he just seems like he doesn't care about D anymore.

HA! SHOOT OFF THE FLARES! WE'RE GOING DOWN BY THE HEAD!


Well, with everyone saying that regular season alone is not enough to award trophies (in Bob's case), I guess that means Letang, Crosby and Shero shouldn't be re-arranging those trophy cases anytime soon either, eh?

 

[JustAsking]

I don't think so Boss... you have to let the talent play. Leadership and coaching is what is needed... the Pens have the talent.

A culture of expectedness has crept into PGH... steelers and penguins are expected to win, and in return, the teams think that as well. But nothing should be expected when multiple variables are involved. The Pens are failing to handle the unexpected.

"I think I have a splinter".

 

[beantownmaniac]

Nope.

Rumour is that Tugnutt is getting the call.

No love for Barasso?

 

[Jims_Doors]

People questioning the Pens choosing to trade up and take MAF with the first overall pick. He was the top rated goalie and the Pens had shit options for goal the year before...Jean-Sebatien Aubin, Sebastien Caron and Johan Hedberg.

They finished 28 out 30 in GA the year before. Only one other goalie was chosen in the first 81 picks of that draft. He was good enough for B2B cup finals appearances while winning one.

When you're in need of a goalie and have a chance to take who was thought to be a franchise goalie, you pull the trigger.

I liked the trade, the player and still do. However, i never liked meloche.
