I've always hated the Penguins, but I don't know if there's a player I've done a 180 on more than Sid. Used to legitimately wish the worst on that guy, now he's one of my favorite players.

I dislike Malkin. When he was pounding Bergy's head on the ice....He is still on my shit list

The whole matt cooke thing and Mario's crying to the NHL about hits to the head while he was paying that asshole cooke soured me on the Pens.

I do like Sid...except the cry baby thing he does.

I feel its been very long since I've seen that side of him. I don't think he does anything different than any other captain these days.

He's a top notch dude, but when he was younger I wanted his head on a stick. Just couldn't stand him for those reasons.

Matt Cooke? I feel like I'd honestly confront that sorry sack of shit if I saw him. My most hated player ever. He coaches the Growlers in St John's. So maybe I'll see him in the summer and suplex him through a cop car.

While I have ( grudgingly) come around to a more positive view of Sid I still have zero respect for the franchise. Much of this feeling of revulsion dates back to Mario - who as both a player and an owner - was an absolute whiner Which is sad given the generational talent he was on the ice.

equally sad was whatever reason- whatever Mario complained about was acceded to by the NHL ( read GaryB). And yes the hypocrisy of complaining his players got checked while having players like Matt Cooke on the rooster left a bad taste that will likely never go away

I do hope Fenway Sports Group turns the Penguins into the same type of dumpster fire they have caused with the Red Sox . Its hard to believe the management team that broke the Curse and won multiples World Series can now be so reviled....hope the Penguins are next to experience their detached and analytical- to -a- fault brand of management

it’s mind-blowing.

I thought the Red Sox would never win a World Series. Ever.

I also never thought that whoever owned the Red Sox *if* they ever managed to win one (nevermind four) could possibly alienate the fan base like those ass-clowns have.

But here we are.

I also hope they ruin the Penguins and lose a shit ton of money.

"On 01.30.80, the Penguins wore black and gold for the first time. With the Steelers winning the Super Bowl and the Pirates capturing the World Series title in the same year, the struggling Penguins hoped to gain fan support by aligning their colors with the other teams in the "City of Champions."

Boston protested the color change to the NHL, arguing that black and gold had always been exclusively associated with the Bruins. However, the Penguins prevailed by virtue of a precedent set by the Pittsburgh Pirates hockey club of the late 1920's, which sported the colors. The Pens' new uniforms were the same design as the previous ones, with black replacing dark blue and gold replacing light blue. From 1981.82 through the 1984.85 season, the team alternated wearing gold sweaters with white at home."

Besides, Boston is black and gold. Pittsburgh is black and yeller, just like their team and their “whiney stars” (love ya Torts!) Go Bruins!!

Crosby doesn't whine as much as he used to just like Marchand controls his temper and isn't as dirty as he used to be. Age and experience mellows you. But, they are still the same guys at times.

We usually seem to do well against the Penguinos so I expect no difference tonight.

No Lauko? If it's purely rotational that's fine, because otherwise I don't like to see him out. Good motor, bit feisty, always feels like he brings a lot of energy to the 4th line.

The only team I hate more than the Penguins are the Canadiens.

If you have to ask why I hate the Penguins so much, you haven’t been watching long enough (forgivable) or closely enough (not as forgivable).

I was so angry and bitter after Ulf ended Neely's career. Then a couple decades later and I have to watch that POS Cooke end Savard's career.

I'm with you, there is plenty of history to hate them for. I do agree with what Sheppy said earlier though - I used to hate Crosby, but I have grown to respect the hell out of that superstar. Def not as much of a baby as people pegged him to be.
