Pens have 3 cups in the cap era. Rags have 0. Not much of a winning team.

Yeah nice one bro I'll still take the 3 rings

I'm also not a Pens fan, just thought you shouldn't throw stones in a glass house... you know... because of the 0 rings since the 90s

They have no rings when it matters. Nobody Under the age of 40 cares about wins from the 90s. Rags have 0 in the cap era compared to the Pens 3

Keep up, unc, we’ve been over this.

Now you're just deflecting AND projecting.

The rangers suck man. I get it, I know. Haven't won anything since the 90s and have been perpetually mid while the Pens have 3 cups since 2009.
