Ouch.

Gonna use that gif to illustrate to the boy why you ALWAYS back your stick up with a glove AND a pad. Being nonchalant will bite you in the ass. The best goalies on earth do it. The worst ones do it.

"Oh, I got this"

"OH FUCK, I don't got it"

Edit: Oh. It's also important to hold onto your stick.

Knowing when to cut your losses too. When the stick went flying he should have been willing to just let the puck slide on into the corner.

It's easy for the coach to look smart when he has Crosby, Malkin & company.

Except when he's playing the Bruin's in the Eastern Conference Finals at least.

I'm sure glad they specified Portland, Oregon above.

/No offense to the good folks of Portland, Maine.

It's obviously intended for an American audience and our top notch knowledge of geography.

I view Bylsma very differently. I see him as the coach who's done the least with the most.

Not when Sid has missed 113 games in the past 3 seasons & Geno has missed 63 games in the past 3 seasons.

Cry me a river. Every team in the league has injuries. The Penguins have plenty of talent. The Bruins lost Savard, Bergeron missed like an entire season.

But your argument is that Disco is only good because he has Sid & Geno. Why does he have such a good record without them in the lineup?

I see Forsberg scored his 1st goal. Grrr still cant believe Caps traded him away.

Look on the bright side, you got this guy now:

Isn't that one of those sparkly vampires all the teen girls are so crazy for?

Yeah, I didn't get that move either. Every Caps fan I ever talked to about that gave me negative feedback. Oh well, what's done is done. Maybe Michael Latta could somehow redeem that deal?

Jussi with the hat trick.

/No, I'm not Jokinen.

 

[Dacks]

What's worse than paying $900,000 of a player's salary while he plays on another team?

Watching that same player score a hat trick against your club. Ouch.

My argument is this: The Penguins have one of the most talented rosters in a long time & have won 1 Cup. The Penguins are far from a 1 man show. They have talent throughout the lineup. Neal & Kunitz are big time players. Sorry, but every year the Penguins don't win the cup is a year the Penguins have wasted their talent.

Same could be said about the vast majority of the coaches every year except the vast majority of the coaches have never won the Cup like Disco did.

Yup hatty by Joki and a pretty good game by Maatta as well. Was a good night to be a Fin Pen tonight.
