I hate the Pens but I wish we could flip flop with them at any time.

Whintey in my eyes was overrated....just like J Bo. I am not against trading talent or prospects if you receive equal talent in return.. When we traded Toots for Nikky Z...we got talent but we got talent that is/was a head case. Sather thinks he is God...I will take Lindros and rebuild him..too bad he had scrambled eggs for a brain. I will get Bure...too bad he lost his knees 3 years before that. Until Sather is gone...we will always be good enough to just make or miss the playoffs and for the Dolans...that is plenty good. tdchi,

How about Malkin's hit on Kronwall that lead to his breakaway? Or Cooke's hit nearly 10 seconds after the whistle in the second? Or Hal Gill's deliberate slash on Zetterberg during his breakaway? The lack of officiating was evident, and the Penguins took full advantage of it. Kudos to Detroit for rising above the farce this league has become. Shoryuken,

Well, drink up. Don't let the facts get in your way. Here's a few for you to chew on: The Penguins are the ONLY NHL team to lace up FIVE of their own top-5 draft picks in a game. In 42 years, the franchise has drafted a total of 14 top-5 picks, which for the mathematically challenged is one every three years. In contrast, the Rangers drafted only five top-5 picks in draft history. Ordinarily, one would think that would average about one top-five pick every 10 years, except for the fact that four of those Ranger picks were made consecutively in the 1960s, when only six teams were picking. Detroit had 11 over 47 years, and last drew from the top-5 in 1990, when they selected Keith Primeau. The Penguins tanked to get Lemiuex, starting a reoccurring cycle to stock their roster with the best amateur players. Management knowingly bankrupted the team to surround Super Mario with the best players money could buy. They then liquidated their roster and purposely dressed an AHL team for five seasons, knowing they'd end up with another boat-load of talent in the end, regardless of where the franchise went. If it weren't for Bettman's dickering and the fact that Mario Lemieux is in the front office, the Penguins would be in Hamilton right now. The joke that the Pengiuns were came to part as a quid-pro-quo with the city of Pittsburgh. The Pens agreed to tank, Bettman agreed to get them Crosby, and the city agreed to build them(him) a new stadium. So if you want to point at the Penguins' success and use it as a model, go ahead. Frankly, I'd be embarrassed to don a Pittsburgh jersey(especially the gay powder blue one), because it's emblematic of a team that needs to cheat to succeed. I'll take the Rangers' one, hard-earned cup over the two Mario bought ANY DAY. onecupin69years – I see you’ve been drinking the league’s Koolaid. Well, drink up. Don’t let the facts get in your way.

Unbelievable. If Avery had done it...well I think we know what people would say. "No respect for the game." "Just a no-talent punk." "He needs an ass-kicking." Take your pick.

“No respect for the game.”
“Just a no-talent punk.”
“He needs an ass-kicking.”

Take your pick.

The team is in dire straits when it comes to cap space, ESPECIALLY because their about to have to trim $7 million worth of spending this season. Malkin and Staal have a combined cap hit of $6 million(with bonuses). Next season, that goes up to an eye-popping $13 million. Plus Fedotenko, Satan, Sykora, Guerin, Boucher, Scuderi, Garon and 'Big Hal Gill.' And they'll also have to qualify Goligoski...In truth, I wouldn't be surprised if they do move him. They moved Whitney, and I think a large reason behind it was because they knew he'd bee too expensive to hold onto in the long run...but with that said, I want no part of JStaal if it involves moving those guys. In truth, I want no part of the Penguins unless that part happens to be Malkin. mox – The only way the Pens deal STAAL is if they get a pair of NHL-ready prospects…say Del Zotto and Grachev for argument’s sake…OR…a slew of top picks.

Plus how many other seasons were they the laughing stocking of the league. Also Thank Bettman for rigging the lottery to get Crosby otherwise the team would be in Las Vegas right now. Don't put the Rangers down when your team is just as much if not more of a joke!! onecupin69years and counting-
