Punchbowl...maybe. We already know...no sipping from Stan’s Cup for him this year!!!
Work bound here...I am guessing video was pretty sweet of the parade?
Malkin, and a few others (not Crosby - he, at least, shows more maturity) on the Pens team, need to show me a little more matureness before I think they are "NHL worthy". There are a few others around the league (especially on the Flames) who could do with more class, too.
Sorry - Malkin, and Talbot, need to grow up some more; granted Malkin is not as bad as Talbot, but even Orpik skates around with a petulant childish sneer on his face all the time - I guess it's his "game face" but he looks too much like a scolded child - it's quite comical to me!
Face it, my 7 year old could beat him at poker with that face.
I do not mean to pick on the Pens, it's just the subject at hand. They played a great season and they won the Cup, and Crosby played a huge part in that. I'm not going to whine about what could have been, or cry in my beer - someone wins and someone loses. Sometimes your team wins, and sometimes they lose - you'se takes 'yuz chances!

It's obvious you and PAmom are just a little too partisan to look at hockey games objectively when it concerns your team. At least you are not rabid like the people posting to the NHL.COM forums. WOW! Talk about "fan" being short for "fanatic" - uh-huh!
Enjoy your greatly deserved win (and I really mean that), and we'll see you next year. It is, after all, just a game. Root for your team, cheer when they win and stand by them when they lose - but call them out when they deserve it, like the Wings "running out of gas" to lose game 7, it's just not something done by a pro team in the final game that will determine the overall winner. It's a lame excuse, and even if true, Babcock should not have said it, and I call the Wings out on that!
You have my vote for most absurd comment of the decade.
A little over the top, don't you think? Do you really think it comes close to anything BO has said, either while campaigning or in office for absurdity?
If you do, it proves your own absurdity to be focusing so much on a game. If you do not, it shows that your comment is nothing more than a shallow partisan thought.
The parade was great. I got there about two hours early but it was already too late to get close to the stand and big screen. I went to the 5th Super Bowl parade and this was a bigger crowd. Pittsburgh fans celebrate in a good way unlike some other city I could name. The worst thing that happened was a couple of burned couches and some drunks. The police really don’t have much to do.
I loved seeing Crosby hoist the Cup down the Boulevard of the Allies and Talbot and Guerin running around smacking peoples hands.
It’s sad to see the same type of whiners who infect the sports boards posting to this thread.
Yea, I do. Not that your silly rants can raise my taxes, nor endanger my freedom and the future of my children like Obama can, but I do have to say, yes, you win the totally absurd comment award and trying to change the subject back to politics won't erase that stupid remark.
I just looked up Malkin's stats. He's only 22 years old, has over 300 points in just 3 seasons, and just walked away with the playoff MVP. And you think he does not belong in the league?????? But I didn't really have to look up the stats. I watched the kid in the playoffs and baring future injury, he will be an all time NHL great. I have followed to game for 40 years and seen a lot of them and this kid is the real deal.
.... it proves your own absurdity to be focusing so much on a game. If you do not, it shows that your comment is nothing more than a shallow partisan thought.
Pot, kettle, black. I wasn't 'focusing' so much on a game. You were. I just happened to stop by and read your silly remarks.
If anything, you sound like a shallow partisan sore loser. I guess that would be the source of that absurd remark.
It’s sad to see the same type of whiners who infect the sports boards posting to this thread.
That's because they are losers just like Detoilet. - TAB
That must be a picture of Cindy Crosby, professional cry-baby. Congrats to the Pittsburgh fans, I guess if you have to live in Pittsburgh, then at least this gives you something to be happy about.
LMAO!!! That’s funny!
You are so funny! It’s nice that you can keep a good sense of humor about it!
I know I’m laughing at you big time!!!!!!!!!!
Rad about Lindstrom getting ‘speared’ in the testicles and having surgery for fix it? And he PLAYED???? Now that’s a man.
Laugh all you want, but I get the last laugh since I don't live in Pittsburgh.
PITTSBURGH PENGUINS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
PITTSBURGH STEELERS ARE SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS!
FREEPER "rivercat" IS A CHAMPION CRY BABY!
"And ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has just left the building!"
Obviously you are incapable of reading; if you could, you would have seen my other comments. The Pens won, get over it and stop focusing on Malkin. I will leave it to others, more discerning than you, to look at all I said concerning the playoffs and a "sore loser" status.
And if you really do think that I'm more absurd than BO, than, you my friend, need look no further than the nearest mirror for absurdity. Remember, you did not qualify your statement to any specific item or topic, you just said "of the century" - so I did not "change the subject" - you left it wide open!
Malkin proved to you that he belongs in the NHL - so what? He hasn't to me. Maybe it's just that to you, starting fights after a game is over, or nearly over, when it can neither change nor help anything, is OK with you, like the 70's Flyers I mentioned earlier.
40 years, huh? Really? I remember watching Gordie Howe and Sid Abel and Frank Mahovlich play on a B&W TV and Hockey Night In Canada on channel 9 (Windsor station). I remember when the league was just 6 teams.
Than you should be able to recall how really classy players play hockey - they didn't need to fight, except to defend themselves when attacked - but maybe you were a Flyers fan back in the 70's.
I suggest (but doubt) you read all of my posts concerning the series before you spout off and continue sounding like the whackos posting to the NHL.COM forums.
Good natured ribbing is one thing, but when you start singling out fellow freepers by name, and posting stupid pictures, then you’ve crossed the line.
