Keener

That's good because I've been mistakenly saying he was playing for Boston ever since he was traded to the Penguins.

Exactly.  What a non factor.  Gave Boston more incentive, and gave the Penguins not much at all.  Not that it mattered much in that heartless "effort" of a series...

I'm really going to miss Suderi. That guy was one tough hombre and a very solid dman.

"The Piece"!

Loved watching him grow into a player in Pit, he was a huge part of the Cup run in '09.  Got himself another ring in LA.  Happy to see him headed back to the 'burgh. 

Already very different than the book.  If you think Junior Rennie is unhinged on tv, you'd really love him in the book. 

Book had a very weird ending, I've read they are changing it for tv.  Interested to see how it plays out.

Screw Boston.  Yep, still a little bitter.  Go Hawks! 

Even better if Seabrook can target that freakin beak of Marchand's.

Boy, it's just downright ugly in Pittsburgh.

What in the world happened to their goaltending?

My brother and I were talking and we can easily see the Pens trying to trade for Bernier this summer. They need serious help.

Goaltending has been bad.   But man, they sure haven't had much help.  Total systemic breakdown.   Boston is just flat-out whipping them in every zone on the ice.   Looks like they are playing 7 on 5 out there. 

Lots of fun for me to watch these last couple Pens games, then turn the channel to the Angels. 

Pens need to avoid playing Boston's game.  Got sucked in, in game 1.  They tried thug hockey against Philly last year, and we all know how that turned out.

What a game from Quick. 

No dog in that fight for me, but that whole series was some great defensive hockey.

Great games tonight.  Happy to see Boston have to play some more. 

Interested to see how the Blackhawks deal with adversity.

Boy, I'm conflicted re. the Kings.  I always kind of rooted for them in the west before Richards and Carter.  They will always be Flyer douches to me....

There was a can opened...

Sens tie it up with 26 seconds to go in the 3rd on a short handed goal by Alfredsson. Amazing game.

Malkin gliding around while Alfredsson blows right past. 

Terrible coaching.  If you are not going to try to keep the puck deep on the PP, then play some defensive minded players.  Malkin has no business being out there if you are playing it defensively.

Hope Anderson comes back to earth, or that one might really hurt.

Pens fan. 

The Isles deserve a ton of credit.  Tavares is the real deal.  Also, Hamonic really earned my hatred, which is the ultimate compliment in a playoff series.  If the Pens weren't so much better on special teams, that series has a different ending.

Also, Mr wicked, lets get your bets going against pittsburgh again.  I still feel like the cup run in 09 was at least partially helped by those.  Also, still a big thanks to your Ducks for Kunitz,  What a beast.

Justified has gotten progressively better every season.  Continue.

Ha!  Good spot to make my first post on the new board. 

1978 or '79.  Different family members share the credit/blame for taking me to the Big A as a 5 or 6 year old.   

I was lucky enough to get an autograph,and have a short conversation with Bobby Grich a couple of years later while all of the other fans waiting outside were distracted by Reggie.  That really solidified my fandom.  

Around that time, my little league team won our league in Chino Hills.  We got to go to our choice of an Angels or Dodgers game.  Unfortunately, my vote stood alone, and we had to go to Chavez...
