Their big issue is going to be in net since Hiller and Ramo both suck. They do have Gilles in the pipeline as well as some other Finnish goalie (as well as HIller signed for another year), so they have options down the road there.

This. and the Wash-Phil & Dallas-Minn are unwatchable yet it seams those are the only games on before 10:00.
claver2010 {l Wrote}:very entertaining series so far.
letang is far and away the most unlikeable player on the pens. hagelin is so much fun to watch, not sure if he's $4 MM / year fun to watch
great for dumoulin, really found a role after stagnating the last couple of years. #4 on pitt in TOI

i wouldn't play much defense either if my goalie was saving 95% of the shots at even strength...
BCEagles66 {l Wrote}:hated Hags there as he had no skill beyond straight line speed. With Pittsburgh, he's actually crashing the net, making solid passes and playing great defense (still cannot shoot).

Dick Rosenthal {l Wrote}:Sorry, I was busy savoring the sweet taste of another Capitals meltdown. It is hard to imagine the joy I felt watching Smokin' Al Koken, Alan May and Joe Benanati going through the Kubler-Ross model before my eyes on the Caps Postgame and reading the scroll of angry/sad tweets. Over my wife's objections, I stayed up til 1:00 am watching the televised wake. I spent the next day laughing at talk radio--the recriminations that were flying around on 980 am were something to behold and nobody was spared. Orpik was obviously eviscerated with several hosts half-jokingly suggesting that he was a Trojan Horse plant by the Pens sent to destroy the best Caps team ever. Ovie and Backstrom were next in the line of fire, followed in no particular order by Alzner, Carlson, Niskanen, Williams and Oshie. And as if it couldn't get better, last night Troy Brower annihilates Dallas in Dallas and leads the Blues to their first conference finals in 15 years and the "Oshie is the American version of Ovie" theme was batted around a bit by the morning drive guys.
I saw Justin Williams this morning--he lives down the block from me and is a really nice guy. He has busted my balls about the 2014 Cup Finals against my beloved Rangers and I certainly owe him, but he just looked so sad that I did not have the heart to laugh. It's locker clean out day at the Kettler Complex. He said the problem was that they peaked in February and had not been playing particularly well since then while the Pens morphed into the best team in hockey. I was tempted to say the problem is that Trotz is your coach and he is averse to making it past the 2nd round, but I will wait until block party in June before rolling out that particular shtick.
