My favorite was on Geno’s goal, Voracek giving a half-assed effort and just going to the bench in surrender.

Best roster we’ve had on paper...ever?

Easy to say after last night. Things could turn sour. Philly could pull some magic. But this is still a staggering collection of players.

In terms of depth at forward, definitely. Overall talent at the top end, no. I'd take Mario, Jagr, and Francis over Sid, Geno, and Phil.

The defense is pretty solid and the goaltending isn't as top notch as the past two cup runs.

The top two lines seems as good as any recent Pens team. The third line could be as good, or better than HBK. If Letang is Letang, then the top 4 might be the best. But this is probably the weakest bottom pair and I think I liked what Cullen brought as 4C over Sheahan. But that's just cause Cullen seemed to score some extremely timely goals. Sheahan and ZAR could end up making this is a solid line.

Talked to my Philly fan buddy and he is resigned to a sweep. Really destroyed their soul last night.

Probably why you aren't allowed to pump your own gas.

Matt Murray hasn’t given up a playoff goal since Game 4 against Nashville in the 2017 Stanley Cup Final.

pretty good imo

Bed time **** with the kids lasts from 7-8 every night. Without exception. Our dynasty overlapping with me having small children has been poor timing. Not to mention my kids are gonna grow up in the post-Crosby era. And considering where we live, if the flyers are good when we aren’t...things could go poorly.

I thought this was a Freddy post at first because surely a 1 hour bedtime routine must involve 6 or more kids.

Do you and your wife split the duties, or is it all for one and one for all?

I too worry that my kids will be missing the dynasty, but my 4 year old already knows Crosby by sight so he'll remember.

The 2013 team was a wagon...

What was it like:

Jokinen-Crosby-Dupuis
Kunitz-Malkin-Neal
Cooke-Sutter-Iginla (oh wait...)
Morrow-Jeffrey-Adams/Kennedy

Orpik-Letang
Martin-Niskanen
Despres/Murray-Engelland

Vokoun
Fleury

Or some such...that's a squad...

Adams too low on the chart, imo.

I'm skipping an engagement party to a wedding I'm in because of game 2 tomorrow...you can't fight fate. But I haven't missed a Penguins playoff game live in 24 years...it's not about to start for an engagement party, whatever that is...if you're my friend, you'll understand perfectly...
I see that as a terrible move but respect your opinion.

Engagement parties are dumb in general and should never happen. If he was skipping a wedding sure, but an engagement party? That shouldn't even be a thing.

I don't see why they are dumb, they aren't obligatory, but I don't see why they aren't cause for celebration.

An engagement party sounds like an excuse to ask for gifts.
