Post-Game Talk: Pens vs Wild Loss: We miss you Flower

[Honour Over Glory]

I feel like we romanticize the gen X era way too much. Make no mistake, that era sucked ass. Getting blown out every night, the anxiety of almost leaving town. We only look fondly on it because what it ultimately led to.

Gen X era gave a chance to a lot of players that wouldn't. For a moment a lot of those players got to live out their dream and they worked their ass off for coaches that shouldn't be coaches.

Now we get to see players that deserve a shot get shit all over, fans bitch about the players being the problem and are wrong, the players play like they don't believe in the coach.

I would rather root for underdogs that are awful than entitled established players and extremely off-putting coaches, but that’s only because I have taste and some of you do not.

Teams that aren't excited about the present and the future love celebrating the past.

So last night Getzoff and Bourque(?) kept talking about these Minnesota players in their "rookie" season. Does anyone know what this means? Have the Pens ever had any of these "rookies" on their roster? Do you think it would help?

You heard "rookie," but Sullivan heard "32-year-old bottom sixer with an injury history and hands of stone."

We clearly aren't going to win anything with this team so they might as well try to pump up Crosby's numbers and get let him earn another ppg season.

I don’t give a shit about Crosby’s numbers if he’s not going to use his position for the good of the franchise.

I have no problems accepting losing. It's just the cycle of hockey and sports, but I think we're all just infuriated that the one thing that could change of all 70000 things that have changed hasnt yet.

Gotta give it four more near-total roster turnovers and at least 3 more GMs, bud.

They need to "assess." Almost a decade isn't enough.

It's really sad and illogical to let Crosby, Malkin, Letang and Karlson end their careers like this. Crosby and Malkin especially deserve to play for a Stanley Cup contending team.

I'll take a playoff team, at least.
