Now if we could just avoid the Devils and Canes for the rest of the season, we'll be all right!


Casey, Osgood, Howard, Theodore, Varlamov, Neuvirth?, Emory, Boucher, Leighton........


Can anyone name a single goaltender the Pens are facing this week!?!


The Casey reference was from the video, but you could probably pull him out of retirement and stick him on the Caps or Flyers and it would be an instant upgrade.

I don't get the question...how can Mario NOT be Super?

Mario is even more impressive in reverse.

nice to see coverage like that. i guess we can only dream what would be if the nhl had coverage & marketing like football does with nfl films.

Quoting Birdman27:

The game I'm most interested in seeing the goalie choice is the Caps. Theodore has been playing well, but "Three-or-more" could show up at anytime. Varlamov just hasn't looked good at all since his injury.

The one term I used to describe the Pens in the playoffs last year was "goalie breakers." We've seen it occasionally since the Olympic break and that is the team I want to see this week--Forechecking like the dickens and getting 40 shots on goal.

The power play, although getting better, is not very powerful and I think the guins need to split Geno and Sid up on the PP and rock two dominant units. 87, 23, 14, 58, 55 as the first unit and 71, 11, 13, 3, 4 on the second unit. seemed to work well two years ago when we had sid, hossa, and whoever else on the first unit and malkin, sykora,and malone as a real dec second unit.

Due to this.... I propose a new gameday character, Super Mario Penguin.

Check out Gordie Roberts on the background. He stopped skating and has a look on his face like "Oh well, He's not gonna pass. I'd better watch to see what he'll do"

Chills, man. Gives me fuckin' chills.
The NHL has been so clutch with these ads.
