I had the same feeling I had in game 5. In spite of the effort, it just wasn't going to go the Pens' way. This was the antithesis of past years when the Pens were putting it in the net, but MAF could not stop anything. It was an exciting game for sure and they played with the effort they have been lacking of late. Nothing left for me in these playoffs but to root against Ovechkin and the Caps.And there we have it...very impressed with the effort all round....disappointed but not angry. Fleury was exceptional , the callups on D played very well so the future is bright there. What a block by Martin in front of the net in the dying minutes. Looking forward to next year whatever that 'looks like'.....Damn.

Well, morning papers are all reporting GMJR and HCMJ back for next season......and I must admit, I'm not generally opposed to that (if, for no other reason, that I'm not interested in seeing the franchise run over the coals for a second year in a row by the League's media cement heads). According to the reports, ownership never considered any changes of this type; which, of course, may be entirely true or entirely false (and could frankly still change).
If JR made some mistakes, fine...... but one season, IMO, is no basis to make any kind of decision for the next year or two given the problems it had a year ago (and endured this past season). Lord knows, Ray Shero made way more before he was forced to take the gas. OTOH, if one feels compelled to ask if JR is the kind of guy you want charting the course of the franchise for the next decade, I'll listen to that discussion

I agree with essentially all you've said COOLMAN.....and can't really add much more to what you've indicated other than.....DAMNED Caps!
The only thing worse than seeing the Pens make an early exit would be to see Ovechkin hoist the cup!I freely admit I was having trouble figuring out who to pull for in the Islanders/Craps series.......and as difficult as this is/was to reconcile, I ended up pulling marginally for the Craps. I think it's because I've always liked Trotz; one of these days I'll remember this is the team of Ovechkin and (worse) Ted Leonsis. That'll bring me right back to reality.
Until then, I suspect I'll be rooting for them against the NYR as well.....guess I just can't come up with too many scenarios where I'll root for anything from NY (and the Rangers, in particular).
