Reading the Philly boards, it’s amazing how similar they are to what was said here after the Penguins wiped us out.
“Oh they’re not that good, excuse excuse,” after each successive loss.

At what point does a team that has lost one single game through three rounds get to be pronounced good—and not just handed the game by the generous opposition?

Between nothing going on and Zip’s situation, this ranks as one of the top ten funniest of Sam’s blogs of the year.

I really like that Dubi is playing in the World Championship. It can only help him developmentally. Its not the NHL playoffs but I have to imagine that among the good teams (USA, CAN, RUS, SWE, etc) the level of play is pretty intense. From what little I’ve seen, I think itsbetter quality than the NHL regular season. Great experience for Dubi.

Did I just hear that Lundquist’s brother Joel is leading the playoffs in hits?

We should definitely trade for him. Holleweg, a bag of pucks and a few rolls of tape. Okay, okay, no Holleweg and give you two bags of pucks…...

Salty, I saw that Malkin goal. I think Chara’s shootout against Lundvist is comparable.

So come on did anyone else see MALKIN’S BIGGEST HATEJOB EVER on Biron Friday?

That was like a street hockey goal where you just put your little brother in net as a formality.

BIGGEST. HATEJOB. EVER.

Philly lost the series on that goal. That goal was a huge statement. Malkin made him look like a 10 year old. Biron will never forget that for the rest of his life, let alone the series.

“Hmm, looks like Dubinsky would be just fine without Jagr looking to him for passes.”

I don’t think anyone doubts Dubi will be a great player. But a hat trick in a 9-1 rout of Norway hardly means that he is a superstar yet.

There are too many available coaches now. It makes the likelihood of Pearn getting the Florida job too slim. Damn it! Looks like another year of an anemic PP.

Congrats Beer, and good luck to you in the future.

“Ok Let’s make a deal,I’ll trade you Rozy,toots,prucha,hollwagg and one of our young wingers. I need some size and grit on defence who can we get?”

A Weeble. Sure, they’ve been known to wobble, but they won’t fall down.

Actually…..It will probably lead to attending big playoff games. The future Mrs. Beer Me is a die-hard like myself. Some of you may remember the story of us getting engaged at Casino Night ‘07. Yes, I am a lucky man.

The actual wedding was a hurdle that was averted when the NHL decided they wanted more camera time for Cindy ;)
