I'm with you on Redmond, not as much on Fayne...although either would probably be better than Gill in terms of being a 6/7 guy, especially at moving puck and mobility
- Jsaquella

Yeah, swap both in for Grossmann and Gill, in either order, and I think this team is much better at 5V5 already.

guess you dont see him giving crosby a facial with his water bottle

In that sense, I wholeheartedly agree.

But what would you give for him?
- Feanor

That's where the trouble lies...he ain't gonna be cheap and I'm not willing to trade 10, 14 or Morin, Gostisbehere or Hagg for him right now.

Yup. I hate thinking about what might have happened if Mason had started the series. Just another reason I want the Pens eliminated first, then the Rags.
- wolfhounds

I almost forgot about why Mason didn't start the series. I was pulling for the Pens because I'd love to see the Bruins just run them over. I don't know anymore.

The Pens looked to be falling into their old habits last night. Too much individual hockey and punching guys because they're losing.

Got tired of looking at Schultzy's mug all the time.

...but it's been so many years. SO you gave it great thought and changed to Richards?

The Rangers are assaulting Crosby left and right, like they did to Giroux. I'm still rooting for a meteor to hit Consol.

Wouldn't say much thought went into it... just liked the photo aesthetically... also gives me an opportunity to wear my Richie man-crush on my sleeve.

Yep, in our household it's wishing for a Jumbo-Tron FAIL.

That'd only kill 6-10 at most...

I seriously don't care who wins anymore. At gun point, I'd say I prefer the Pens, but that isn't really true

I thought for sure Streit would be your next avatar.

I think Fayne is going to be a ~$3m guy.

I'm pretending that series doesn't exist. Watched about half of Saturdays game with a couple guys I know at the local Pizza place. One's a Pens fan. He was in agony. I couldn't even enjoy it.

Possible, and if he gets that much, walk away

I'd rather have him than Grossmann.

I'm glad it went to 7 games. One team is going to be very upset and the fans are going to say their team underachieved. The other will, hopefully, be annihilated by the Bruins.

I do think if Mason was able to start game one, the Flyers beat the Rangers.

Absolutely, but they need to avoid $3mm+ third pair defensemen altogether

I thought for sure Hartnell would be your next avatar.

Possibly. They were so thoroughly outplayed at even strength though. I thought Emery played really well in game 2. Game 3 is the one I'd want to have had Mason. That was a winnable game with strong goaltending.

Man Phaneuf vs. Lecavalier?
Christ this board is glutton for punishment.

Yup, that's what I was thinking, too. Of course, had Mason been in for game one, it's a different dynamic.

Not faulting Emery. You can't start back up for three games and expect to be up 2-1 in the playoffs.
