The fan in me will be on the edge of my seat when the puck drops. But just because I can get lost in the escapism that is a sport/entertainment, that doesn't mean I have to be a full on idiot. It's more likely we will not win and the same thing we've been seeing is exactly what we WILL see.
But have I seen crazy things in hockey? f*** yeah I have! I've been a part of games we lost that was seemingly impossible. Same on the flip side. I've seen both being a fan. Anything can happen. But most likely that is not the rule.
Like I said, we'll either win or lose
If we win, I'll look forward to Friday (and hopefully beyond)
If we lose, I'll look forward to (hopefully) massive changes to this team and coaching staff
Win/win
Looks like Zajac is in for Wahlstrom
I think Sully is going to bet on more puck luck.
Same lines, same strategy.
I want to be optimistic about tonight but the pattern of history says no bueno. This isn’t like game 6 against Tampa a couple years ago where you had a feeling they weren’t going to let them beat them in 6. This team just does not have the same resilience.
Honestly not sure if this has been said yet or not, but if the Pens lose tonight, it could be the last game of the Crosby/Malkin/Letang era.
...I'm not sure I'm emotionally ready for that right now.
Pens instantly downgrade by losing either 1 of them, or if say Malkin/Letang go it's officially rebuild time.Honestly not sure if this has been said yet or not, but if the Pens lose tonight, it could be the last game of the Crosby/Malkin/Letang era.

As a fan - when that puck drops i'm all-in for the Pens. I love it.
As an objective hockey fan and someone who studied the game with such a passion... i have ZERO faith in this team. I have zero faith in this team. Is it possible they make a run? Sure. Anything in sports is possible. It's always possible. Probable? Look at the last 3 years. f*** no. And here's why:
- I don't think Sully will adjust the lines (i haven't looked at anything in the last 2 days)
- I don't think Zucker, McCann, Jarry, Jake or the others will suddenly all get on fire. I f***ing don't buy at AT ALL. It's more likely we will see exactly the same.
- I think this team will walk right to the golf course if they get down a goal.
To me the proof has been there to not expect anything less than a loss. That's what the history tells me from the last 3 years. But hey.. when that puck drops, I'm a believer til the final whistle.
Let's Go Pens!
Why? Even if there's an overhaul, why would Malkin or Letang be dealt?
I'm not saying I personally want to do that. I'm just saying it may happen.Why? Even if there's an overhaul, why would Malkin or Letang be dealt?
