I also have an authentic Kasparitis Jersey, except mine is actually signed by him on the front and the back. I waited 3 hours in line at a Giant Eagle to get his autograph.

I'm not the only one? I've been wearin' mine all day!!

I'll never get tired of explaining that Kasparaitis isn't a disease and then telling the tale of game 7 vs. the Sabres to the hockey illiterate up here.

You must've just beat me to posting.....he came out and skated with my team when I was 12. He was a ton of fun and even took the time to teach me how to hip check when I told him he was my favorite player.

I love his quote when he scored on Hasek. He said "I own Hasek"

When i met him, he was short (I am 6'4"), but the fact that he absolutely laid out Eric Lindros (who is 6'4") is incredible

it was scheduled for vs's hd but they blacked it out and it was on fox sports. major bummer for me as i only have basic plus all the hd chanels...needless to say i hit the luna for many beers and shots

**RUSH2112** · 04-11-2007, 11:28 PM

Poor, Poor hockey tonight. Must be playoff jitters cause they didnt play well at all. The crosby "disallowed" goal was BS. might have been a different game

**Wolfpack Speed** · 04-11-2007, 11:37 PM

with or without the goal they got spanked tonight...i just hope they pick up where they left off

yea... comcast just added VS. HD too, but it was blacked out... absolutely retarted imo to not broadcast PLAYOFF games in HD ... FSN played HD games during teh season, theres no reason they can't do it...

andyea, they really really sucked tonight

**BoneCrusher** · 04-12-2007, 12:08 AM

They got whooped from the initial whistle to the final buzzer. Hope they learn quickly cause the school of hard knocks was mighty brutal to them tonight.

**fork5o** · 04-12-2007, 12:40 AM

yeah they def. got beat down tonight. i was afraid of them not bein physical enough in the playoffs. i do think that crosby goal was bs but what are you gonna do. could have been a different game, but oh well. i think this next game is gonna be a huge part of the series. two days to prepare, i think theyll be alright

lets go pens!

**coralcoupe1993** · 04-12-2007, 09:25 AM

They got beat by the body. Very physical game.

**RUSH2112** · 04-12-2007, 10:14 AM

I think Fluery played pretty well, aside from the first 2-3 goals. He stopped 2 5 -on-3's and other power play opportunities.

We definitely need to work on our power play. If the Sens are going to get caught with their hand in the cookie jar that many times, then we need to make sure they pay for it every single time.

Hell, even when we had a 5-on-3 the pens couldn't even control the puck.

I hope they rest up and do some soul searching. I know they are young, but I really think they can beat Ottawa and move on

**coralcoupe1993** · 04-12-2007, 01:06 PM

Game 2 = in da bag!

**Ares** · 04-12-2007, 06:36 PM

I didn't think they would win game one but was nice to see a little emotion from them towards second half of 3rd period. Pens take game 2 & 3, lose game 4, win next two.

I see the Pens doing some serious hitting next game. This series is gonna get ugly with the way Ottawa is playing their game and it will come back to bite them hard.

**SonofaBish** · 04-12-2007, 06:40 PM

I think the Pens will be alright in game two, and i'm quite glad they have a couple days to stew over getting a beat down... hopefully they'll come out really pissed off and ready to roll...

I think they can beat Ottawa and continue on quite a ways into the playoffs, but i dont think they can win the Stanley Cup, unfortunately. I dont believe that Fleurry is good enough. He is great at stopping that initial shot, but his lack of ability to control/find rebounds and his tendancy to go sliding 3 miles out of the crease when he blocks the first shot is going to kill us.
