PLAYOFF HOCKEY LIVE THREAD!!!!!!

[fkabuckeyesrule]

This is horrible. We've had to go 4 whole days without hockey. Detroit-Pittsburgh is probably the Finals Series that NBC wanted. If they can't get decent ratings here then I don't know what they can do.

There’s a girl at the gym on saturday morning who wears a Pen’s jersey sometimes.

****And the best thing about the Pens winning is that, if the pattern of a team overcoming a 3-0 hole happens every 33 years (1942, 1975, 2008?), is to continue, it now eliminates that series as the one to do it.****

Oh well so much for that theory. Buck Belue (sp?) (you remember him I'm sure) host a sports talk show in Atlanta and today he said that Michigan would have a losing record this year.

I’m glad they’re opening the arena for people who don’t get cable. Armstrong recently added Versus HD and it’s great but really these games should be on NBC, what maroons the NHL is for scheduling at the same time as the Pistons/Celtics!

“-Malkin set to take Pens-friendly extension-”

OTTAWA — Sidney Crosby cracked the door open last July.
Evgeni Malkin wants to rip it from its hinges next month to allow teammates - specifically impending unrestricted free agent Marian Hossa - a clear path toward long-term futures with the Penguins.

Malkin’s agent, JP Barry, said Friday his client would follow the precedent set by Crosby last summer and sign a long-term extension at less than his presumed market value to provide the Penguins salary cap space necessary to remain a Stanley Cup contender.

“He wants to stay in Pittsburgh and keep as many of these players together and try and make a run next year,” Barry said prior to the first round of the NHL Entry Draft at Scotiabank Place.

Thanks for the ping. Things are looking good for the Penguins. The players who show loyalty will find an incredible amount returned by their fans.
