Back to Back Stanley Cup Champs Pittsburgh Penguins: 2017-18 Off-Season/Season Thread - Page 12

ncm7772 · 12-14-2017, 01:47 PM

Can't wait until tonight's game is over. So sick of hearing about MAF from the creepy ass stalkers officially known as Pittsburgh media.

With that being said, my prediction for tonight is a huge, easy win for LV. Fleury looks like a Vezina candidate, Murray gets pulled. Pittsburgh media writes incessantly for the next three weeks on how not protecting Fleury was the wrong choice.

I like MAF. Nothing against him. But he's on a different team now, people (and the media especially) need to accept it.

Not a good start, hi James.

k13 · 12-14-2017, 10:19 PM

Sad to be underdogs against Vegas.

Cup Champs vs shitty expansion team..
Only in the NHL would they be favorite.

pensfan87893 · 12-16-2017, 07:18 PM

Sure would be nice to finally get a win tonight. Playing the team with the worst record in the NHL.

Well it was all the rage back in the early 2000s. I wasn’t expecting to slip back into that again so soon. God I forget the year but it it was in that area and the pens just had a like 30 win season and had the balls to raise ticket prices.

pensfan87893 · 12-16-2017, 09:25 PM

Wow, talk about struggling offensively. 4 powerplay chances in the first half and nothing.

daxwills · 12-16-2017, 09:33 PM

Well, it’s a goal.

pensfan87893 · 12-16-2017, 09:34 PM

Shorty by Carter

daxwills · 12-16-2017, 09:43 PM

Murray giving up a late period goal and its to the glove side. The matrix must have changed two things.

daxwills · 12-16-2017, 10:17 PM

pensfan87893 · 12-16-2017, 10:35 PM

Yay a win!!

daxwills · 12-16-2017, 10:42 PM

Thank god lol. I expect some moves towards the trade deadline.

pensfan87893 · 12-18-2017, 06:55 PM

Avalanche tonight...Go Pens!!

daxwills · 12-18-2017, 11:01 PM

Epic third period comeback?

pensfan87893 · 12-18-2017, 11:30 PM

This team has been just awful lately...wow! Won't even make the playoffs at this rate.

daxwills · 12-18-2017, 11:32 PM

When was the last time the defending champions missed the playoffs?

Correct. Kings 2015.

Has happened five times. Before that ...

2007 Hurricanes
1996 Devils
1970 Canadiens
1968 Leafs.

Not impossible, but very hard to do.

The 2011 Blackhawks were damn close too. Minnesota had to be Dallas on the last day of the season to get the Blackhawks into the 8 seed.

Just saw the Penguins traded Josh Archibald, Sean Maguire, and a 2019 6th round pick to the Arizona coyotes for Goalie Michael Leighton and a 2019 4th round pick.
