Brind'Amour just needs to stop talking, as he is making a fool of himself. Games being close doesn't change losing four games in a row.

near impossible to come back from being down 3-0 in a series, but im hoping they can pull it off

Maybe they should keep Benn as a healthy scratch

lol...may not be a bad idea because of the changes in the roster, the 3rd and 4th lines prob played more and scored 2 of the goals.Maybe they should keep Benn as a healthy scratch

Wish Benn was suspended longer lol, team was way better without him.
Yeah seems like they would have been better off scratching him... but now

Former Calgary GM Treliving is now GM of Toronto. Looks like the Habs are in prime position to fleece the Leafs on trades 
Seeing rumors Pens and Dubas are finalizing a contract * sigh *
Guess we'll see if the issue was the structure or the GM...

Explains a lot about Oettinger.

I only watched the Stars during the WCF and he looked deceptively ordinary. Gotta have a good backup goalie these days to help carry the load (and a backup-backup + a backup for the backup-backup...)

Dubas is now President of Hockey Operations for the Pens... still not clear what that role is actually doing since it has only existed for a couple years.

EDIT: Watching press conference now, he is also going to serve as interim GM.
Penguins Name Kyle Dubas President of Hockey Operations
Dubas becomes the second person to hold this position in the history of the franchise.

I believe it would be similar enough how Shanahan oversaw him in Toronto or how Gorton oversees Hughes in Montreal... its like being GM but you hire someone below you to do the job and he holds a veto on the GM's moves.
*Crosby/Malkin/Letang all in their 50's*
Dubas: "I continue to believe in this core and their ability to win the Stanley Cup..."
EDIT: Moments later I read this quote: "The way I see things is that if people want to bet against Mike Sullivan, Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang and others, they can go ahead and do it, but I'm going to bet on them and go with them here. I think this is a group capable of contending for a championship". Here I am thinking I was being satirical

At least it isn't Bergevin!
Eh to be fair the core performed fine for what they're being paid. Nobody is winning the Art Ross anymore but nobody was detrimental to the team or performed poorly enough that they're overpaid. The rest of the top six were pretty solid as well. The bottom six, defense, and goaltending not so much. Couple that with idiotic moves Hextall made and it is going to be interesting to see what they do to try to recover.
And nobody is in their 50s though with the way some of the guys like Carter have been playing it does feel that way some days

It was more of a shot towards Dubas and how he double-triple-downed on his core in Toronto to the point where jokingly he would extend your big three foreverAnd nobody is in their 50s though with the way some of the guys like Carter have been playing it does feel that way some days

I thought it was more sarcasm directed at the Pens being the oldest team in the league
My mistake...
