Pens doing well.

[coralcoupe1993]

So, Im not too much of a sports guy but I caught some of the Pens game last night. They are kicking as$!

[Silverhatch]

They have been looking great as of late. So much for Pittsburgh sports team needing new facilities to play well. Pirates are proof of that. Lets put a dome on PNC Park, ice it over and give it to the Pens. F' the Buccos. Never liked baseball much anyway.

[Steve-0]

THey have been doing pretty well this year. I've been watching their games whenever I can lately and I'm glad more than one of our teams is doing decent this year. We all know the pirates couldnt pull off a winning season if it was given to them.:rolleyes:

[GOT SVT]

yes they are and they will get a new arena and stay :pinkthumb:

[Viper_ed]

yes they are and they will get a new arena and stay :pinkthumb:

I hear Cranberry Twp. is going to donate tax money to foot the bill for the new arena....:shhh:

[Wolfpack Speed]

i hope this city doesn't let them go, they have a very promising future. the pirates have more history than any sports team in this city but i would rather see them go before the pens....at least they want to win and make the effort

I agree!

[RUSH2112]

I am a huge hockey fan and have been since the Pens won the cup in the early 90's This years team reminds me of the Lemeiux/Jagr era when they first started getting hot together. The pens look very good now, but are a VERY young team. I won't be disappointed if they don't make the playoffs or don't go far in the playoffs. IF the team is still in PGH, then the pens will be a VERY good team in the next 2-3 years provided they keep the talent they have already.

oh yea, spectacular idea.. let's F up the most beautiful stadium in the nation b/c a few Tards don't like baseball... its nothing against you personally, but i get sick of all the speds and their slander against baseball... the only ppl that feel the way you do about baseball are the ones that weren't good enough to play past little league...

however, back on topic, the pens do look great as of late, and all we can hope for is that they get a new arena!! i honestly believe that if we can keep the crop of youth that we have now, Pittsburgh (hopefully not KC) will have a Stanley Cup in the next 4-5 years...

i'd say there more than a few tards that dont like baseball since they played at 60% capacity all season in their beautiful staduim... at least the players feel great losing in a nice stadium and fans have extra seats to put their coats on.... 4th lowest attendance in 2006 in the MLB, and so much for their excuse that a new stadium would bring in more $ and better players

[blkp42e]

* > baseball

[racefan]

fu*k pittburgh sports they have thrown it down our throats that i don't even watch the news anymore. at least in racing it takes two balls to get the job done!!!!!!

Yeah, see its not that I don't like baseball, but I don't care for our team! :rolleyes:

see, that's a flawed argument.. the low attendance has NOTHING to do with people not liking baseball... its that they don't wanna spend the big money to go and watch a loosing team...
And, u don't know if that's true - about thought that a new stadium would bring more attendance/better players... i was still in high school when that kinda controversy was being fought over; however, i will say, its NOT the lack of love for baseball that causes low attendance... its Kevin McClatchy's (sp?) lack of brains to actually spend a little bit of money. If you don't bring in good players, the team sucks, and no one wants to come see them play.... A beatiful stadium isn't going to attract players to a team... $$ is... yea, if a player is torn b/w two teams with similar millions on the table, it could be a persuasive factor - but when you aren't gonna spedn the bucks to have a good team, no one is gonna care...

[madmaxin22]

first off, i remember the argument of the pirates getting better being used when the should the pirates get a new stadium idea came up.... 15 years of having poo for an owner and poo for a team creates a city that doesnt like baseball... i go to a few bucs games every year just to go... not to watch a great team, or to see the new staduim but just for fun....weird that the cubs were worse than the bad ole buccos this year but were 6th in attendance.....


back to the topic.... just like the good old days, 3 of the top 50 in points are pens and most surprising the #8 recchi with 42 pts:pepper:

[Viper_ed]

Pittsburgh just needs Mark Cubin to buy Pirates and the Penguins and everything will be fine. Hell, parking might even be less that $20! :wtf:

[blkp42e]

The pirates couldn't get a sold out crowd when they were in the PLAYOFFS back in the early 90's. They were one game away from the WORLD SERIES and it didn't sell out! That was before McClatchy, the front office wouldn't spend the money to keep top players. Pittsburgh is NOT a baseball town pure and simple. Is there a waiting list for Pirate tickets like the Steelers even when the Steelers have a losing season? No. As far as tickets costing "big money" thats horses**t. You can get tickets for $6. Even buy one get one. Some of us were playing midget football and laughing at the pusses playing baseball, but thanks for the quote- unquote personal attack.



P.S. The farm league Pirates SUCK ASS!

[WizardsCobra]

The Pens will only be getting better. There extremely young and will ony grow as a team.

[coralcoupe1993]

I agree!


Yes!

[Twin01cobra]

If there's one thing this city can do is screw things up, and it sounds like they are doing a good job of it with the Pens.

[Silverhatch]

I just read that Houston is interested in them. Mario is already there for the Allstar game.

Oh good. Lets hope he doesnt let em go to Houston.

[burntire]

Typical Allegheny County.

[fork5o]

pens played a hell of a game tonight. i watch most of them and tonight against dallas was a great game to watch

lets go pens!

[burntire]

Just watched the shootout.

[BoneCrusher]

Damn when the Hell is Crosby ever going to score in a shootout. Thank god for Christiansen.

[Rio94gt]

He only scores in shootouts when it doesnt count. I was pissed when he went 3-4 in the all star skills competition.

[fork5o]

another great game by the pens!
if you didnt see, watch the news or sportscenter. crosby scored probably the sickest goal of his career so far :laughing1: :hyper:

[axles of evil]

i missed it. it will pop up on youtube soon

just found this one of Ruutu giving someone a little tune up .

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vJjU36tUmU

[RUSH2112]

Yes, the game Saturday night was enjoyable to watch. Crosby did score an absolute insane goal, on his backand, while turned around, and while falling down. Pens routed the coyotes 7-2. The pens are HOT right now. :thmbsup:

[SonofaBish]

The pens are HOT right now. :thmbsup:
dang straight.... pens games and 24 are the only thigns i look forward to watching on tv anymore

[fork5o]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSTutJd7kMA - sid's goal
:laughing1: :woot1:

axles- glad you found that fight, he popped that dude right in the chin

[Wolfpack Speed]

this kid is sick:highfive:

[Silverhatch]

Loved both Videos! I was looking for the Crosby one, thanks!

[axles of evil]

sweet goal. looks like he got a little lucky to me on that one... still a great player though. and only 19

[RUSH2112]

The pens continue to shine as they smoked the panthers last night in a shutout. I project the pens to finish with 94 points this season.

[burntire]

What is the deal with the new arena?

[blkp42e]

there isnt one yet

[axles of evil]

theyre all over the radio and local TV now. i hope all this talk doesnt jinx them... PENGUINS FOR LIFE

[axles of evil]

the game is going good so far tonight ... 3-2 right now. im getting a little nervous this period though. canadiens are coming out strong.

[axles of evil]

alright pens win in shootout... Fleury played great. no score from sid in shootout again... hes getting too fancy i think. just needs to go out and shoot that shit. hes got a good shot and quick hands, i think he could fool a lot of keepers with just a good quick wrister through the 5 hole. just MHO.

[Wolfpack Speed]

another awesome win!

[GOT SVT]

went and it was definately an awesome game

[blkp42e]

went and it was definately an awesome game

as did I. great game. they fought the entire way to the end. the pens definately had to work hard to get those 2 points in the standings

[Wolfpack Speed]

went and it was definately an awesome game
you go to every major sporting even in or around pittsubrgh:hissyfit:

[axles of evil]

if i could get tickets to the pens id be there every game ... but theyve been selling out lately

[Viper_ed]

but theyve been selling out lately

In more ways than one. Just ask Rendell.

[BoneCrusher]

if i could get tickets to the pens id be there every game ... but theyve been selling out lately

Do you do the student rush when they don't sell out?

That game last night was just plain awesome, playoff hockey mode. Can't wait to see the rematch Sunday.

[blkp42e]

if they are playing this good now, i cant wait for the playoffs

[axles of evil]

yeah man, best available for 20 bucks ... cant beat it

[fork5o]

i wish i could get to a couple games, i dont mind watchin them on the tube. another great game, sid just needs to learn how to make his penalty shots
:thumbsup:

hes trying to hard. getting to fancy. he just needs to bang it home.

[coralcoupe1993]

Good games! :tearsofjoy:

[Silverhatch]

Good games! :tearsofjoy:

X2 indeed:veryhappy:

[Wolfpack Speed]

im ready for this montreal game today:yes:

[TBone7281]

im ready for this montreal game today:yes:

Yup, looking for another win... keep the streak alive! :goodidea:

[TBone7281]

Pens are now in 4th place in the Eastern Conference with the win over the Flyers. That's home ice advantage come playoffs. :thumbsup:

[fork5o]

pens are still rollin :woot1: love watchin the games, very exciting
if you didnt see petrovicky's fight, dude got beat down. last i heard hes doin alright:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nttgE3RUA8

[RUSH2112]

Yes the games are very exciting. It is depressing to see that the pens gave a up 3-0 lead and got lucky they tied it up in the 3rd period. They cannot do these things in the playoffs, but they are playing very well.

That toronoto player did get his block knocked off. Glad he is doing OK.

New Jersey lost today, so we are 7 points from 1st place in our division. 3 wins and if Jersey is on a slump, were in 1st place. :woot1:

[coralcoupe1993]

These games are awesome this year!!! :pepper:

[Silverhatch]

They have definately made believers out of the non-:thmbsup: Me being one of them. Bunch of kids for the most part too.

[coralcoupe1993]

What are tickets going for now???

[Silverhatch]

Not sure, I do know there are 12-0-2 in their last 14! I've watched a few games plus the allstar game and have yet to see Crosby score a goal......:irked:

[RUSH2112]

Pens continue to be on a roll, knocking of the mighty Devils on Friday night, then beating the Capitals yesterday. They are on long island today at 1pm for what should be a great game and hopefully a continued unbeaten streak. LET'S GO PENS!!!

[coralcoupe1993]

When is the next home game? I want to go.

[blkp42e]
