"If you wanna play pond hockey with the Penguins,

go ahead. Good luck." - Bob Errey


There's really only one way that game could have ended, and that was with serious, gunslinging hockey. Empty Netters, Puck Huffers (we are secretly in love with Kim and Zoë. Don't tell anyone) and the Pensblog have gotcha covered with the recaps.

Watch this clip, then watch the one where Ovie goes to hit Orpik and then goes flying, and then watch a highlight reel of everything Crosby has done in the postseason.

Crosby>Ovechkin
Fleury>Varlamov
Pens>Caps

Rock the Red on the golf course, boys. Great Series.

In American you have Joe the Plumber... In Russia we have Ovechkin the douche

Only difference is Joe isn't licensed plumber but Ovechkin is licensed douche.

Puck drops at 1. The series that Gary Bettman and the NHL are creaming themselves over... NBC doesn't give two shits though and is more than willing to cut away from overtime in favor of the grand 'ol spectacle that is horse racing.

This will be another hard fought series for the Pens, and as much as we all may hate him Ovie is the type of player who can change the series in a heartbeat. That's what happens when you take two or three dozen shots per game... just don't ask him to back check.

Just like the Flyers series (any guesses to Mike Richards handycap?) this will come down to goaltending. Who would you rather have between the pipes MAF or Varlamov? One has been in the Cup Finals... two wins away from Lord Stanley. The other stopped a bunch of shots from a lackluster Rangers team that had no business taking that series as far as it went.

Pens in six.

In Fleury We Trust.

As the bars empty and our fearless fans stream away from the massive screen sitting outside one of hockey's last temples (fuck you NBC) we would like to take this opportunity and ask for a moment of silence in honor of the tremendous play of one Marc-Andre Fleury.

More to come later when the beer loosens its grip and the hatred for the Flyers and their shitty fan base wanes.

Go Pens.
