While I'm glad that fans in Pittsburgh are excited about hockey again, they'll have to play way over their heads to be as good as Philly.
You just lost one of your big UFA signings (Hatcher). Hopefully it is not serious, but if it is ...

Right you are. They'd have to play WAY over their heads to reach the lofty heights of the PHILADELPHIA FLYERS!!
Come to think of it, the Pens could only get better, cause they sure as hell couldn't get any worse.
Now......if they only had a decent arena to play in...........
GO F L Y E R S !!!
I'm confident that Bobby Clarke will screw something up.
What will Bobby Clarke's excuse be this year? So far when Philly has been THE Cup favorite, he's blamed Eric Lindros, Roger Neilsen, injuries, Roman Chechmanek, under achieving players, bad team chemisrty... when will the losing be Bobby Clarke's fault?
