    A toast to J.Ruutu, an a-hole being himself on the ice, and hoping that these future stars like Crosby and Malkin will help the Pens to stay in Pittsburgh otherwise go Isles!

    It's finally starting to pay off sticking with the Pens. Especially since I live near Toronto and everyone of my friends is a Leafs fan. Now its my turn.

    It is indeed the year of the Penguins.

    Nobody can beat them in a best of seven right now. Nobody.

    a playoff series is not at all like the regular season..

    they don't have the experience to go anywhere - this year..

    I'm from Pittsburgh, so I've been a Pens fan all my life. In fact I'll even go so far to say they're my favoritie team from the city, more even than the stillers. It's great getting to watch this young, talented team to accomplish what they're doing now. I'll agree saying they're probably not winning a Stanley Cup or anything this year, but they will be a contender come mid-April. It's also nice to see our 3rd and 4th lines putting up points. We haven't had to ride on Crosby and Malkin's lines for the past few wins. That's been the most impressive thing during this streak.

    BTW.... Congrats Mark Recchi on 500 goals.

    I've seen enough playoff hockey to know that experience can be very overrated at times.

    The thing is, they're too young to know any better and could easily make it through a few rounds.

    Plus, Recchi's got enough experience for everyone on the team. :D

    Lets go pens! I too am excited about this team. but i'd hold off on the stanley cup predictions for at least 2 more years. they will be the team to beat in a couple of years. They just better still be in pittsbrgh when that happens.

    One of the things that actually worked with the new NHL system is that almost everyone in the league is a Cup contender.
    The only obvious teams are the ones that won't win it, like Boston, Philly or LA. Everyone else has a genuine chance, despite current inexplicable streaks (no one demonstrates this better than TO, who have long streaks of suck followed by great with no explanations...).

    i agree , in a few years they should be the team to beat ,, but just too young right now to beat the sabres or the devils

    11 straight games with a point! The march of the Penguins continues...

    I just hope they don't have a letdown against Philly after taking down the best team in hockey tonight. They've destroyed the Flyers all year and I would hate to see that end on Thursday after jumping into the 5th spot in the Eastern Conference with tonight's win.

    Yeah, I don't think they can win it all this year, but they could make it through a couple of rounds. They might be one of those teams that are too young to let the playoffs even bother them... they don't know any better.

    I agree... You've got to have some kind of experience to win it all, IMO, but young teams like this can ride a hot streak (or a hot goalie) and make a ton of noise in the playoffs. The Detroit Tigers did it this year... there wasn't much playoff experience on that roster at all and they marched through the ALDS and the ALCS. Pressure doesn't get to you because you've never been before and don't know how you're "supposed" to act.

    Fourth spot baby!

    That's the best we can do unless we catch the Devils, which even though we're only 9 points back seems very unlikely unless Brodeur goes down. It's still funny that even though we're in fourth we're only a few points from being out as well.

    Finally a penguins thread. I figured it out the other day that I have been a penguins fan for 20 years this year. We have had a few bad years in the last little while but this years team is reminding me of the early nineties. If the penalties are called the same throughout the playoffs I think they have a good chance at the Stanley Cup.

    As a Habs fan, tell me about it :P

    We had a sweet first 3 1/2 months of the season and have played like absolute garbage since Christmas. Out of the playoffs (positioning) by next week, but only by a few points so there's still time to turn it around.

    The EC standings are so tight right now that there's 6-7 teams that are all in limbo between making up the last 5 spots or missing the show altogether.

    I thought the same thing, so I started one.

    SO, how about Crosby's first shootout goal of the season!
    About time :)
    I'd say we should make the playoffs, but how far will we go?
    I think if they keep clicking and Staal, Recchi and Ouellet keep supporting Crosby and Malkin on the score sheet, we could make the conference finals.
