That is an ugly man. Hockey looks like it have been very good to him.

Preds not being able to convert on the PP in game 6 killed them.

Yea...Disallowed goal is one thing. But they got a 5 on 3 with 0-0 late in the game. No excuses after that.

PIT was 2 for 22 on the PP for the series. they still won

for context NSH was 4 for 18.

Interesting stat. Playoffs games won in salary cap era:

Penguins - 91
Blackhawks - 76
Ducks - 70
Red Wings - 68
Sharks - 64

LA not in the top 5, despite two cup wins. Sharks in the top 5 despite not winning a cup.

Is it wrong to wish ebola on every Penguins player/suit? Not their families, just them.

Looking at Cap friendly on the trade that sent Kessel to Pitt..

*Condition: If Pittsburgh should miss the 2016 playoffs, then Pittsburgh shall receive Toronto's 2017 2nd round pick (conditional**)

**Condition: If Pittsburgh should miss both the 2016 & 2017 playoffs, then Pittsburgh does not receive any pick from Toronto

why was such idiotic conditions set.. they didnt' just clinch it.. but won them all -_-
