Agreed. Even with the construction, 28 is MUCH better than it used to be because they closed the intersection with the 31st St Bridge, which eliminated the traffic lights that would bring everything to a halt. The new design which is taking shape has ramps instead of lights, which will make the whole thing really flow.

I haven't been out 28 for a while. Last time it was a nightmare, but I'll give it a try again based on the suggestions. Thanks.

Leaving the homerism aside, how would you rank the four teams remaining in the cup hunt? Honest opinion, 1st LA; 2nd Pitt; 3rd Chi; 4th Bos (right now)..my ranking could change after 1 or 2 games.

Awessome. Harrington will be a stud. I don't expect to see him putting up a lot of points but he'll be our best defensive d-man.

Outbound still narrows to one lane by the Heinz plant, but that is manageable aside from rush hr.

They were down 3-0 to Providence.

Just saying, unlikely things have happened with them.

Wouldn't rule out a surge. Wouldn't rule out a thumping in their next game because of how couldn't clear the puck in tonight's game.

Harrington and Maatta weren't bad at all from what I've heard. Scotty got his first goal on his first shot in his first pro game. Impressive.

He did not suit up. Maatta and Harrington did though. Zlobin didn't play either. He was seen with his arm in a sling.

That's not good news on zlobin that was the knock on him during the draft that e couldn't stay healthy.

I don't think Scott will be with the big club for good next year. He could use a year in the A to develop. Dumoulin probably is the closest to make it. Btw, I hope Despres can play a full season as a starter.

I haven't heard anything about that ruopp guy they got from pheonix. Is he a promising prospect?

There's Ruopp and Clarke Seymour. I think both have a physical game and are in WBS already. I don't expect too much from them. I don't think they'll be any better than Bortuzzo.

I'm real excited about all these young d-man I just wish they had some type of offensive prospects. Doesn't help that they no longer have any draft picks in this years deep draft, still worth it of they win the ultimate prize.

I agree but Shero has shown that he can always flip one of those young D men for an impact forward. We'll be all set as long as they keep drafting and developing promising D prospects.

We just sell our tickets, stay home and watch on the big ol' sixty incher, and drink lots of beer! No traffic to worry about, and playoff tickets go a LONG way towards paying for next year's plan!

playoffs are why you get season tix plans....

At least I would have thought.....

Marc-Andre Fleury has fared well against the Bruins and other surprising notes

- the-mitch-wilsons


seems like Crosby's ability to at least come out even taking on Patrice on the faceoffs is gonna be one of the more important factors, aside form that Vokoun HAS to be solid

Funny thing is that Harrington took all of 1 period to tie Orpik in career professional PP goal.
