    This game is just another example of how Pittsburgh could be the best team in the league, but Malkin is their best player.

    You must not watch the Pens every night if you think that... Malkin does have his moments and when he takes over a game, he TAKES OVER a game, but night and night out, Crosby is the better player hands down. Malkin takes many dumb penalties (he is 3rd in the league in minor penalties), and disappears for stretches at a time.

    Don't get me wrong, Malkin is def a top 5 center, but he is not as complete of a player as Crosby.

    Actually, I fall asleep thinking about my girlfriend.
    And I don't think anyone here is worrying about playing the Penguins. Getting the win last night was nice, but we're more worried about making the playoffs (for the 19th straight year).
    See, over the last 20 years, we have never been so ungodly terrible that the league would give us unprecedented weight in order to get a superstar draft pick to carry our team out of irrelevance.
    But have sweet dreams with your three cups and repeats. Win eight more Cups and repeat twice more and you might be able to compare our two franchises.

    Come on now...you can't compare the Red Wings and Penguin organizations

    For a team that has not had high draft picks for I dont even know how mnay years and compete for the Cup or win the Cup(s) in very impressive...Ken Holland is the best GM in the game

    The Guins will never go 19 straight years in the playoffs...they do the same thing over and over...win for 5-6 yrs...tank for 5yrs..get high draft picks and start over

    Stings?
    We beat the Stanley Cup champs last night 3-1!

    On the decline?
    We held the "best player" in the league to three shots and a -3 rating.
    I'm feeling really good about my hockey team.

    ummm... not exactly...

    Since the 1990-91 season (19 seasons counting the current season), the Pens have made the playoffs 16 of them, with making at least the conference finals 6 times and won 3 Cups. That's only 3 losing seasons in that time frame.

    Just for comparison, in those 19 season, the Flyers have made the playoffs in 13 of them, advancing to the conference finals 5 times with zero Cups.

    In '03 getting MAF high pick and '04 Malkin high pick '05 Crosby and missing the playoffs until '07?

    with the lockout, it was only 4 seasons out of the playoffs though ('02, '03, '04 & '06)... keep in mind, the Crosby draft was after the lockout season, so the record from the 03-04 season basically went for two drafts. The scary thing is that they had the worst record in that season, and lost out on the Ovechkin lottery and took Malkin. All this crap about Crosby vs Ovechkin, they could have been linemates. :o

    In all honesty who would you rather have Malkin or Ovechkin ?

    Probably Malkin, just because I think that the center position is more important than winger... but it's not like there really is a wrong answer to that question lol.

    Great game by both teams and both stars as the Caps edge out a victory. Being a former goalie in the past I know how Fleury feels not stopping that last shot. :(

    Peace

    I watched the first 2 periods, and listened to the 3rd while working in my basement. From what I saw and heard, it was a good game. Pens had more chances, but Washington seems so dangerous with the chances they get. As a Pens fan and a hockey fan in general, I hope we get to see these two play in the playoffs again.

    and Mike Knuble owns the Penguins, he always has...
