Fleury's first trip back to Pittsburgh is tonight, man, been looking forward to this.

Penguins finally seem to be getting it together, but I'd like to see them get a proper 3C and another defenseman before the playoffs

Hey, I'm watching the season 18 DVD boxset that came out earlier this month. Guess what? It's fucking rubbish.
12 episodes in, 25+ gay jokes - I hope whichever writer was going through their issues at the time is happier and contented now.
Different times, dude.

Pittsburgh gave up a first for Reaves wtf?!

He should have won the Conn Smythe in 09.
As good as Fleury was, Malkin was the rightful winner that year.

I'd even argue they wouldn't have won it a few years back if it weren't for Fleury. He was absolutely unreal that whole playoff run.
Oh for sure, the save in game 7 secured the cup, the great save on Ovi in game 7 that year, his game 4 against Philly, etc he had a great run that year.

Sounds like Vegas had the deal in place with Pittsburgh way back in March to take Fleury. He's possibly the "original" Golden Knight.
Rutherford is looking like a genius for having made that deal and keeping Fleury past the deadline more and more.

As much as I cursed at him for some of his past failures, I am so sad to see Flower go. It is going to be so different seeing this team without Fleury, and man, his first game back in Pittsburgh is gonna hit me hard. And despite some bad playoffs, they wouldn't have gotten to win the cup without him this year, and people forget he carried the team during the dark Johnston days before the coaching change. Hope for nothing but the best for him, and I hope they retire his jersey in Pittsburgh someday when he retires.

I figure they take Fleury as well and probably a younger goaltender that Fleury can mentor into a number one. Oshie and Shattenkirk are also up there for grabs as well as Marc Methot. I don't know what their budget is but they've definitely got some great options.
I read that Oshie was gonna end up staying in Washington, don't know what kind of deal they work out, but he apparently likes it there.
Shattenkirk is probably Rangers bound.
But yeah, some good options for Vegas. If they put together a good team and get good goaltending, I don't see them being bottom dwellers. I don't think they will be a playoff team or anything like that, but definitely not Arizona bad.

It's probably a good thing that Vegas can only take one player from each team because there's honestly a lot of good to great players that are going unprotected into this thing.
James Neal for Nashville is a big surprise, betting Vegas picks him up for sure.
-
I think Vegas takes Fleury, but I could see them flipping him to a contender during the trade deadline.
-
Between Hainsey, Fleury and Cullen, I was pretty emotional. Not to mention, Kunitz, since he's most likely gone next year too.
-
Back to back baby! Wooooooooooooooo! I can't believe it, I'm fucking speechless!

Well yes, but it's like everything they do wrong is highlighted....as if every other team in the league wouldn't do the same thing in their positions. Maybe it's just because it's my team but I notice it so much in this series.
Agreed so much, Christ, people are whining so much about Sid tonight, and want him to get suspended, even though Subban has cheap shotting him all series long. The hatred for Pittsburgh is ridiculous, people act like they get away with everything when they see fit, even though, they take their share of dirty hits, cheap shots etc.
Also, not as worried Forky, though, I do not want a game 7. They need to finish it on Sunday. I wanna see them raise the cup in front of the sad Nashville crowd.

They only had twelve shots in a game they won. Despite the two wins, they've played like crap. Nashville could very easily win the next two games and end this.
Agreed, they played like crap for 3 games so far. I'm pulling for them, but I think they just ran out of gas, injuries are finally catching up, and the goalie can't bail them out. Hoping I'm wrong and they come out and win this thing, but it won't be such a blow if they ended up losing.
Shame, cause if healthy, or at least with Letang, there would be no doubt in my mind Pittsburgh would win this series.
-
Ok, now I'm worried, wtf Pens? They're barely challenging Rinne, he had some good saves today, but only what, 25 shots? Glad the next one isn't until Thursday, they seriously need to figure something out.
-
One game, wasn't expecting a 3-0 lead, thankfully Pittsburgh always bounces back after a tough loss, and Murray has yet to lose two in a row in the playoffs.
I'll be worried if Nashville gets the next one, but for now, I'm sticking with Pens winning game 4 and then the cup in 6.

They can have their 3rd in basically any season. This is Nashville's first time here!
I'd rather they do it now and go back to back lol.

I think the Pens winning games in which they are not the better team pretty much seals the deal. This ends in 5 or 6, probably 6 since the Penguins never lift the Cup at home.
That's my guess, Pens in six, with a split coming in Nashville, and then them dropping game 5 at home and winning 6 on the road, same as last year's run. Really wish they'd be able to win the cup at home, but oh well, as long as they win I'm not being picky.

They've outplayed the Pens in both games. I fully expect Nashville to win the next two games.
I expect them to win one there, but the Pens always bounce back after a loss, and the scary thing for the Preds is that they still haven't seen the Penguins best game yet. If they turn it up like they did in sone games of the previous three rounds, Nashville ain't coming back.
-
Holy crap, Rinne has been awful.
-
Wow, Pens played like shit, glad they won, but they need a way better effort on Wednesday.
-
What a game, thank goodness the right team won. Now they just gotta beat Nashville and go back to back.

Yeah, man, that was awesome. I always went after the guy when he sucked, but when he was on, dude was great, and the Pens wouldn't have gotten those three cups without him. (Less so 2016, but he did carry the team while they sucked, and while they were adjusting to a new coach)
