My rooting interests usually hold regardless of injury. That being said, it does suck when someone loses due to that. I'd be more upset if someone lost their HC job for losing a series (esp in Pittsburgh's fashion) due to injury. Plus, a HC with the accomplishments earned since 2016. I nmot a Rangers fan, but New York is (one of) my stomping ground(s). I haven't decided whether I'm rooting for them to win the cup or for them to emulate 2014. To be fair, New York could've won Game 1, and if everything holds, Pens lose at home. On 5/15/2022 at 11:27 PM, Colleenna said: Mike Matheson needs gone.

I'm still pissed off, though. To be honest, I think the concern over the aftermath of this series is if Sully got kicked out. Which, until the start of 2022-2023 happens, is still a possibility. It's been 4 opening round exits in a row, PLUS, a new ownership group (people who may want their own guy). When you blow a big series lead & have had early exits, that typically leads to one's termination. However, they were one iota away from a series rout until the injury to top all injuries occurred. If Sully doesn't win 2 cups + if the Pens don't have their postseason streaks intact, then he would've been a goner by now. Pittsburgh can toss Hextall in front of a moving train or bus whenever it fits their business needs. Colleenna & JTMacc99? Sorry for the belated reply. No, I was not on life support (at best) over the series. Actually, I had to turn off everything entertainment to get stuff at work wrapped up, as I'm off starting Friday at the way to Memorial Day. At the end of the day, it is what it is. Pittsburgh wasn't winning the Cup this year, and while you never know, they weren't championship contenders. It would've been nice to see how far they could've gone, but at the same time, I'd rather not see a 2013 ECF beatdown either. Finally, I've lost a couple people rather closely linked to me this year.

Dandesun June 16, 2022 Share June 16, 2022 My sister has been an Avs fan since the 90s. All through the rivalry with the Red Wings. She's seven years younger than me so there she is in high school and then fresh out just loving this team. And she never stopped. She's been living with me for the past 8 years and the Avs have remained a staple. Now, for me, it's fun to root against my brother's team. It's not as fun to root against my sister's team. So I've been absorbed into the Avs fandom. We went to see them about five years ago when they SUCKED. We were on the glass and watched them lose to the Flames at home and it was just... hoo boy. Dark times. But since then I've been watching Sakic rebuild this team... I was watching when Makar made his debut... I've watched that top line develop into something deadly and the defense turn into something amazing. Is one of our cats named Burky? (He's our beautiful dumb boy and we love him. Hockey version and feline version.) So even though I came to the party in later years I still feel like I've earned the right to be a fan since I've gone through some shitty shitty years of watching this team be terrible. And then watching them start to gel and become dangerous and then this past season... they've developed real grit. The 'Find A Way' slogan this year is real, they have and I believe in them. I love these guys. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2145-nhl-thread/page/12/#findComment-7510075

Carey June 20, 2022 Share June 20, 2022 I think it's fair to say that Detroit put a similar beating to Pittsburgh in 2009 IIRC, but that was also the last time they won in that series. The latter responded quite well, though it was late in the same series at a point where they sorta had to. To a lesser extent, albeit it not by much, Tampa will have to do the same (which they kinda did against New York). Every game is different, and the champs only need to (and have to) take one in Colorado (if they make it back there). I'm just not optimistic that they'll escape their home rink without Colorado "taking" one after what happened on Saturday. TBH, I'd be more okay seeing someone new win it this year. I'd probably say differently (which was my pick FWIW) if Pittsburgh faced them instead of New York. OTOH, if Tampa somehow rallies, it would validate whatever since this would be a season where they played in full and without a break. A lot of people in Pittsburgh cite(d) that when they matched (and now passed) the 16-17 years Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2145-nhl-thread/page/12/#findComment-7516082

The Penguins' current situation is kind of unique, in a way. This would be as if the '80s Oilers teams or your great team from the early '90s didn't have to break apart because of other circumstances. They're players with amazing pedigrees, have proven track records of success and are big fan favourites, but is it within the team's best interests to keep them until they retire? I suppose the Red Wings are the closest analogue, because they had that run of great success in the '90s and '00s with a host of great players that they decided to stay loyal to and now they're paying the price for that. I would have thought that would be a cautionary tale, but it may look like Pittsburgh is repeating that mistake. I'm of the maxim that you maximize the value of your players via trade when they get older instead of keeping them past their point of usefulness. Which is easy to figure out for a lot of players, even many good ones. I suppose the calculus Pittsburgh is making is that resigning Malkin and Letang means they can still trade them later, but will they get a great return on them now? I'm not so sure. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2145-nhl-thread/page/12/#findComment-7569669

Colleenna October 23, 2022 Share October 23, 2022 Jeezy, the Pens upcoming week is a butt-kicker. Back-to-back Edmonton/Calgary, travel, Back-to-back Vancouver/Seattle. I'm convinced that someone in the league hq hates Pittsburgh. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2145-nhl-thread/page/12/#findComment-7715669

xaxat October 30, 2022 Share October 30, 2022 (edited) I forgot that the Coyotes got evicted from their old place and are now playing in ASU's 4600 seat arena. I wonder how that conversation went over with luxury seat owners. "You want me to pay how much to go where?"

The Coyotes continue to be an absolute joke. How the NHL can say with a straight face that Phoenix deserves to keep its franchise while Quebec City can continue to get snubbed is beyond me.

Dandesun November 10, 2022 Share November 10, 2022 Watching the social media side of the Avs in Finland against the Blue Jackets has been a delight. The whole team in the sauna while Lehky sings a song as he throws water on the coals... the jump into the Baltic (Newy saying it wasn't too cold and just like home... oh, those Newfie boys.) Mikko and Lehky doing interviews together. Mikko got a hatty in the first game and Lehky scored (with a great pass from MacK) in the second. What fun!!

Colleenna December 1, 2022 Share December 1, 2022 Apparently the Pens will be without Tanger for at least a couple of months. He suffered a very mild stroke on Monday. This is his second one. Last time he missed two months of the season. Fortunately for him, UPMC. Here's hoping for a complete and speedy recovery. (Unfortunately without him any hope the Pens had is kaput.)

Letang's stroke was incredibly mild, and caught quickly enough, that he was back on the ice in tonight's game against the Sabres. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2145-nhl-thread/page/12/#findComment-7786426
Mindthinkr February 4, 2023 Share February 4, 2023 I’m slightly bitter watching the All Star stuff this weekend because neither Martin Necas nor AHO made the team. Let’s Go Canes 🏒 At least Andrei Svechnikov won the preliminary Faster Skater. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2145-nhl-thread/page/12/#findComment-7856592
