Tickets for game 6 go on sale soon...only 500 available though. For games 3 and 4 1000 were available. Funny how that number keeps dropping as the games become more valuable.

Lol. That was strange that you weren't posting during the series so far. Why can't I have to much luck? You got to watch the Red Wings hoist the cup last season. Plus, wouldn't it be so funny to see Hossa lose yet again to the team he left last year?

Well, more media and players ask for more. Plus, I'm sure there will be some available after they are released on Monday. The media and players probably won't use all of the tickets they request. I will be trying on monday to get tickets and will probably cry if I do, only if the Pens win tonight.

I'm really hoping Pittsburgh pulls if off just for this reason alone. :lol:

Then he can forget about ever having a chance and ruin all of Edmonton's cap space with his new fat contract.

If this happens, he might just contact Ray Shero.

Well, to be fair, you got to watch the Steelers win the Super Bowl while he got to watch the Lions go 0-16. :wink:

I don't care for the Steelers.

Pens disappoint yet again. At least I'll get some sleep tonight since I have to be up at 515.

We're a completely different team with Dats. 97 points and a defensive monster. The guy is good.

Please, please, please, play this hard in Pittsburgh.

This game is exactly like Game 4 of the Hawks series.
5-3 coming up. Pens have got settle down. They're playing into the Wings hands...not that I'm complaining

Yeah really. I am disappointed and embarassed by the Pens right now. They are playing like the way the Cryers and Crapitals would play. Instead of throwing a hissy fit, go out and try to score. Bylsma needs to bitch each and every one out. Thank god this game only counts as one win. Hopefully, this will get out Detroits big game they usually have in their series. Also, Hossa hasn't scored so that is the only good thing so far in this game.

Bank Shot · Post #692 » by **Bank Shot** » Sun Jun 7, 2009 1:59 am

I agree Bylsma's definitely has to get on them. The Pens need a good period here. If this goes 7, its going to be hard to come into Detroit believing you can win, after losing 3 at Joe, if they have another bad peroid. Its cliche, but the Pens have to find something they can build on in the 3rd.

They do need to have a good 3rd. At least win this period so you have something to take with you going back home. I will be so pissed if Detroit wins it in game 6.

Man, as much as I love Crosby and Malkin and the Pens in general, Fleury has to be one of the most overrated/useless goalies out there. If the Pens don't win the Cup this year, they have to trade him for a defenseman or another elite scorer if possible (packaged with Staal) and make a run for Khabibulin. Because I honestly don't believe he can be a Cup winning goaltender. He overplays the **** out of everything and is just a bad goalie in general. I can't believe some Montreal fans would rather have this kid than Price or even Halak, for that matter.

Couldn't watch the game, saw Drag Me To Hell instead. Looks like I missed nothing

I really never understood this from non-Pens fans. People are always ragging on pro athletes for putting money first. Finally, a big name guy puts winning WAY ahead of money, and you just want to see it backfire?

I think it's more the fact that the Pens gave up a lot for Hossa, and he sort of made it sound like he was going to stay in Pitt. and then he bolted for the wings. Maybe I'm wrong, who knows?

Anyways... one word describes game 5:

Ouch.

You don't join the team that just beat you the year before. That shows no backbone whatsoever. Hossa already has a lot of money. Don't make it seem like he is poor by signing that 1 yr deal.

Hossa has enough money to last him 5 life times; money isn't a factor at all.

I want to see it backfire because Pittsburgh gave up a ton of talent to land him, only for him to go running off to the team that beat them because he wanted a better chance. I honestly have little to no respect for players who do that and have no loyalty. Makes me happy the Habs didn't actually land him; we actually had his jersey printed out at the Bell Centre and his locker ready when Waddell suddenly decided to change his mind and wanted more from the Habs, and then Gainey refused and the Pens came swooping in.

Either way, I hope Hossa doesn't get a Cup this year. If he wants to win one with the Habs, fine. But his past actions make me hope his plan backfires on him.

It's not like Hossa would have been stuck on a team like the Avalanche or something, he left the Eastern Conference Champion, a younger team with plenty more seasons to compete, for the Western Conference champion. It's not like he made a giant leap into a contending team, he was already with one, one that will be competing for awhile.
