gumby73 Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Peter Laviolette won us a Cup with Hurricanes..Talk about some hot thirsty tailgating..WoW..Wish Lavie good luck again where hockey was never a thought. Pekka Rinne stands on his head in goal all series. Preds get back Mike Fisher & Craig Smith for the series with PK Subban boarding any Penguin he see's...Give me the upset & yes Pittsburgh still Sucks!!

mjp28 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Go Nashville. I did see Carrie Underwood in the luxury box rooting on her man a Predator hockey player....but country music and hockey? Just doesn't have that ring to it, no pickup trucks, NASCAR or gee-tars in it. Do they drink a Molson while singing with their hound dog? GO PENS!

mjp28 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 It pissed me off that Ottawa lost in game 7 in double OT to that team from Pittsburgh.That game was getting a strange vibe for Pittsburgh fans, when you get in sudden death a fluke goal can end your season and cancel your travel plans. As much as I'm a Penguins fan, both Pburgh and my Alma Mater YSU, I thought it might be nice if Oh Canada did win something in their beloved NHL. But oh well, now the Penguins go for back-to-back Cups vs the Nashville Cats and their legion of fans (they do have fans?) last done by Detroit and the Super Mario bunch. GO PENGUINS everywhere.

mjp28 Posted June 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 FUCK the Penguins. Oooops, Game 2 PIT 4-1 final, up 2-0. NSH must win 4 of the next 5 to win the Cup. And I'd suggest the Cats fans eat their catfish before the game rather than bring them to the rink to pitch them on the ice. Squid, catfish whatever what a stupid "tradition". GO PENGUINS!

mjp28 Posted June 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Just checked the money from the Opening Lines to now is going slightly toward Pittsburgh. There is an amazing amount of sports betting information online if you want it, I like it even if you're not going to bet anything just to see what America is thinking....and laying money on.

So NSH + OVER 5' = enough money for some good seafood. Plus a lot of penalties to end the game. Oh 50 times a team was up 2-0 and 45 times went on to win it all.

gumby73 Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Oh 50 times a team was up 2-0 and 45 times went on to win it all. So now the Preds go back to the Burg all knotted up at 2 games a piece Thursday night. Usually I'd say get ready for some OT marathons? But I just don't see it coming with some of these snipers. Seems like, The last Goon that's still standing in front of the net may just take The Cup..Go Preds!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted June 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Well 2-2 games in PIT/NSH/PIT I guess it's on! ....but I think throwing catfish on the ice is stupid and a cheap knockoff of throwing octopuses on the ice, also a stupid "tradition".

Westside Steve Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Well Pittsburgh technically falls in to my criteria. 1st I root for the Canadian teams when they are eliminated I will only root for a team in a city in which the water freezes.

mjp28 Posted June 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 AP Jun 11, 2017 at 11:13p ET NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Sidney Crosby is bringing the Stanley Cup back home to Pittsburgh for a second consecutive year. Patric Hornqvist scored with 1:35 left and Matt Murray made 27 saves for his second straight shutout as the Penguins became the NHLs first team in nearly two decades to repeat as champions following a 2-0 win over the Nashville Predators in Game 6 on Sunday night. The Penguins won their fifth title all of which have been clinched on the road to tie the Wayne Gretzky-Mark Messier-era Edmonton Oilers for sixth on the all-time list. The Detroit Red Wings in 1997 and `98 were the last champion to defend their title, but the Penguins are the first to do it in the salary cap era. We knew it was going to be tough all year, but we just tried to keep with it, said Crosby, who won his second Conn Smythe Trophy as postseason MVP. We had a lot of injuries and things like that. We just kept finding ways. That was really what we did all season, all playoffs. Its great to be able to do it. Hornqvist scored off Nashville goalie Pekka Rinnes left elbow to end the scoreless game. Nashville challenged for goalie interference, but the goal was upheld. With Rinne pulled for an extra attacker, Carl Hagelin set off a bench celebration with an empty netter with 13.6 seconds left. Nashville lost for just the first time in regulation on home ice this postseason........ BEWARE OF THE PENGUINS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
