I thought the sharks were the favourites coming in... That was quickly an after thought

Sad to say but very true Tim. That's the only word to describe how it feels to lose in the SCF... Sad. It only gets more depressing after every loss. We'd need a miracle at this point to come back.

I still remember this comment by SJFreez19 right before game 1
"Heres a few fallacies in the minds of Pittsburgh Penguins fans.

Speed - Pens fans think they are so much faster than the Sharks? Sharks are pretty fast skaters in their own right, but maybe Pens have some faster skaters. Fine. But that doesnt really mean much. The puck moves faster than anyone can skate. Sharks have far better defense than Pitt. That means the break outs and transition of the Sharks will be far faster and better. SO this perceived notion of speed that Pens have over the Sharks isnt real.

Depth - Also a false notion. Because you have watered down top lines you think that makes you better? haha. If anything you are making your top player more ineffective by not surrounding them with other tlalneted players. Id say having Malkin on the 'third line' basically makes him obsolete. See his mere 4 goals in the playoffs. Even Crosby's line looks questionable to me and will get dominated by Vlasic and the Couture line.

HBK - Pens fans are obsessed with this line that really is not that good. Within the first couple games i would epect that this line gets broken up."

I was thinking you would say Ben Lovejoy - all things considered.

The Reason why the Sharks will lose this series, Is not because Pittsburgh is a great team that's clicking on all cylinders...IT'S BECAUSE BARRY"MULLET" MELROSE PICKED THE SHARKS TO WIN IT..THE CURSE CONTINUES

I hope the Pens don't come into tomorrows game thinking the series is over, because the Sharks certainly wont.

Every game in this series has been incredibly tight, and I expect tomorrow night will be no different.

I get it. Schultz took the money instead of going to Anaheim. I was thinking the fact they have Despres for the next five years at 3.75 million and they traded us a guy that has played very good hockey in the playoffs and tomorrow night very well could be hoisting the Cup up as a winner. Funny thing ... both very well could.

Not over just yet, but this guy is looking like a total fool each passing game. One of the funniest posts ever on this board and there have been some beauties.

no i dont. all i've heard for 10 year is that malkin and crosby are the best 2 players in the league. you win in '09 poop the bed since. get a goalie that makes saves and now all of the sudden the narrative changes to how sid has decided to pay a "200" foot game. wow hes soooo great. bottom line murray is the mvp of the playoffs easy.

Wow - Not sure what you're bitter about but you couldn't be more wrong. Crosby has been the best player for the last 10 years, Malkin has not been number 2 but is an elite talent. The problems the Pens faced was that they had to pay Malkin and Crosby big contracts before other teams, Crosby and Malkin played with no depth (Adams, Glass, Vital, Sill, Asham, Megna, Goc, Gibbons, Ebbett, you get the point), the GM made some good trades and some horrible additions that mortgaged the future, and they had a coach who refused to adapt once the playoffs came and didn't hold players in check. No player in the league could win a cup with 2 lines, an ok defense and a struggling goaltender.

Murray has been very good, but outside of the Capitals game where he made 47 saves, he hasn't been amazing. Kessel is the Conn Smythe winner right now with Crosby and Murray being a close 2nd. Crosby and has been great and has played a great 200 ft game all post-season lining up and largely shutting down the opposing team's top line.

To the Kings fan, nothing being said that hasn't/wouldn't be said by any other teams fans in our position. If someone comes & posts what Martox is quoting on the Pens board before game 1, what do you think will happen??

Anyway, I'm pretty sure there were harsh words from LA fans to the Sharks fans 2 years ago??? So................

I hope it's a great game & let the best team win - really really hoping that's the Pens!
