ooooh damn

So, we all know what happened to the Caps.
We don't have much to say. It's all been said, and eloquently, all over the Internet since the win happened.
We could make a list of everything that is wrong with the team, the franchise, and its players. We could make fun of its fans.
But it's been done.
We think that the performance of our team over the past several seasons has spoken for itself, and it's nights like last night that make us proud to be Pens fans.

Guess who's coming to Mellon Arena tomorrow?
The Montreal Canadiens.
The Flyers and the Bruins will have it out up here in my third-home of Boston, Massachusetts, and the city of Montreal will turn its eyes on Pittsburgh.
So far, the magic of the playoffs is paying off for us.
You know what this means?

Rest assured, the Penguins will still need to get to their game.
Getting through Halak won't be the hardest thing in the world, but it won't be easy, either. He has at least a little Slovak magic left in the tank.
Montreal's offensive lines aren't awesome, but they can still score.
Their defense blocked all kinds of shots versus Washington and Ovechkin's shot is still one of the best the game has ever seen--so if they're in it mentally, we still have our work cut out for us.
We saw Ottawa win Game 6 this way--by blocking shots. So the boys just have to take more than they can block, crash the net, and get creative. That's how you win in the playoffs.

And by outlasting.
Bring it, Habs.

In addition, Detroit is in San Jose tonight at 9PM.
If someone doesn't take care of those old Swedish bastards, we'll do it, but really. . .Go Sharks tonight.
Fuck Detroit. We're still pissed about the Coyotes.
Whatevs.


See you back here tomorrow for the next round.
Wooooo!
GO PENS

LATE EDIT:
oh yeah and Crosby got nominated for the Hart Trophy.
So did Ovechkin (wtf suspensions) and Henrik Sedin (omg Art Ross).
Forgot to mention it because it just seemed obvious the way he played all season that he should probably win it.
Henrik has a bigger chance to win it for the numbers, or Ovechkin for his reputation as "passionate."
And let's not forget the President's Trophy.
Or the fact that Mike Green was nominated for Norris (joke).
Dave Tippett for Jack Adams.
Bryzgalov for Vezina.
JStaal for Selke.
blahblahblah regular season accolades are just something to look at on your shelf when you don't have the Cup

We'll see what happens.
once more,
GO PENS.
