It's absolutely mind blowing to me that Sully thought it was a better idea to scratch McCann than JJ. Like is he F'ing reet?

POJ would be better than Jack Johnson.


Oh btw I hope you know the NHL is rigging it for Pittsburgh again. There is literally no excuse to lose to MTL, with this roster, starting a backup, AND the poor coaching decisions. I hate this league.

there’s no rigging. the pens are just not managed well rn. that’s the sad reality. they’re a better team than MTL, but MTL is just better managed and is more hungry. updates happen. if the pens win laffy, everyone will say it’s rigged lol. fr if that happens i’ll just shoot myself lol

With the way they've played these 3 games, I'd 100% rather them lose & get Laf.
No way in hell this team is going anywhere with this level of play..

Oh well of course you would. I've wanted to lose to CAR for months and now I've lost hope because PIT is gonna lose and I'll have to witness another Crosby fiasco. It sucks. We haven't won in decades. They just won 2 stanley cups and are already getting another superstar? Just so unfortunate but so Rangers.

oh boyyyy. cant wait to see him play. finna take my galchenyuk jersey and put a romanov name plate over it at this point xd. fr i would’ve been even more happy to see romanov play. habs, rangers, avs (already good), canes (already good), ottawa and la are some teams with bright futures IMO can’t wait to see them at the top of the rankings. all those teams are pretty likeable overall too (least likeable being habs and rangers bc they have a lot of rivals). gonna be fun.

So the NHL is rigging it by having Carey Price play elite? Or did the NHL tell Rutherford to not improve the 3rd line so pittsburgh has to rely on their 1st 2 lines? Or did the NHL tell Rutherford years ago to sign Jack Johnson to an asinine contract and never scratch him for this exact reason? If you really break down their roster, its really not that impressive outside of Crosby, Malkin, Guentzel, Zucker, Rust, Marino, Letang, Dumo. Thats a good group of players, but their depth isn't there. Im not saying the lottery isn't rigged, but I dont get how youre under the assumption its being rigged for pittsburgh

I think what’s he’s saying is if pit loses and the league is given the opportunity to up AL on a team where it will be “better” for the league. It will be pit. Cause fla, nyr, ari, nsh, min, cbj, cal or winn aren’t that team to help the league like giving the best player in the league the best prospect coming into the league. But for it not to be rigged and they win AL something will be fishy. They better do that lotto in person on live tv and show everyone all the balls they put in the basket lol

Yeah, im definitely not disagreeing that it would be fishy if the pens did end up with Laff, but couldnt there be a case made for a few other teams as well? Like for the rangers, the NHL could "rig" it so a franchise player goes to the big apple and plays with an already stacked prospect pool. Or the Islanders and Laff and Barzal could be the next unstoppable duo. ARZ so he could be the savior of the franchise.

Oh there’s for sure a case for each team especially the small market teams like my panthers who absolutely will need laf after dadonov and hoffman leave or Arizona to help grow the markets in those areas. But if the rangers win it at least they weren’t a playoff team and still aren’t very good like pit.

Isn't it EDM's turn to get 1oa? The draft somehow just doesn't seem right if EDM isn't picking 1st. sarcasm

It's just as likely Pittsburgh is overrated - it's really Price that stole Game 1 - Habs certainly earned the Game 3 win as a team

Pittsburgh isn't overrated we're just not playing well. Our 3rd pair D is a huge weakness, but other than that we're solid 1-4 F 1-2 D.

3rd line hasn't played well, but I'd hardly call a 3rd line consisting of Patty-McCann-Horny a weakness.

They only have 2 on their team currently. Thought it was some weird bylaw that they must have 3+ on their roster at all times? sarcasm

Carey Price hasn't been elite. The defense has been solid and he's been playing balanced for a change. Penguins look as deflated as a balloon. All those top guns are gun-shy all the sudden eh? Where's that playoff Guentzel? Zucker? Crosby? Malkin? Rust? how about that solid PK unit? all look super shot. It couldn't be more obvious and knowing you guys will have our number for another decade because of this Bettman-Pittsburgh relationship pisses me right off.

Come on, give Price credit. He is playing a great series. Guentzel has 2 points in 3 games. Zucker has 2 goals. Crosby has 3 points and 2 goals. Rust has 3 points. Malkin has been invisible on the goal sheet. The pk unit is 10/10, so I dont know why you brought that up. Like I said, they have no depth. The top 6 could only do so much. The issue is their 3rd line being a no show all year. It has been an issue all year. Idk how you can say its all being rigged for pittsburgh when they have huge flaws all year

You're team is underperforming and are playing an underrated, but inferior team. I could be blindsided by PTSD from that previous "luck" the penguins had but the idea of Losing this play in round and getting 10A is too poetic.
