I think they did “run out of gas.” They seemed flat...almost like all they would have to do was show up at the Joe and collect the Cup.
Geno NOT NHL worthy??? Ya gots to be kidding!
I think we got to keep jeffc away from the punchbowl.
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!
I owe the both of you an apology for the above statement.
I'm sorry. It was over the top.
After attempting to rationally discuss the Stanley Cup Finals with other members of this forum, I have concluded I was wrong when I wrote that statement, although it was more than half tongue-in-cheek. It should not have directed it at either of you.
Congrats and enjoy the Pens win!
