No love for Barasso?
Come on I am hoping for Roberto Romano. It's almost been twenty years since the last time he came back from Italy to help the Penguins for a couple of games.

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.
I would have never brought it up if you hadn't said:
Then you proceed to say (with the Bruins having a 4-1 lead) that Bettman will get the Pens some 5 on 3 PP's to get back into the game.
Trust me, the last thing a Bruins fan wants to do is bring up conspiracy theories claiming the opposing team will get favortism when your players dad is the Executive V.P of the league.

Same here I agree, MAF actually hurt them more in that game. Fleury needed to stop that goal in the 1st period after he came in.
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.
Thanks mall - if I'm reading it right, it looks like Stefan Meyer was selected with that pick.
/Also, another bang-up job by the Flames scouting department, selecting Tim Ranholt (plugger) with pick #39 overall when Patrice Bergeron was still on the board (selected 45th by Boston)

What is the ice quality in boston. I know the PGH ice has been horrible, and that certainly hurts the Penguins... I know both teams play on the same ice, but faster ice helps a fast team, slower ice, helps a more physical team.
