Pegula is fine, he had to cut ties. TM brought in Disco Dan, when everyone that watched the penguin meltdown knew it was just for a transition period. TM shoulda cut bait earlier this year and he still might have a job. I heard Garth needs some parking lot stripers.
The top 4 playoff points leaders are Pittsburgh Penguins: Malkin: 13 TEH PHIL: 11 Crosby: 11 Guentzel: 10 ... then there's everyone else
reminds me an awful lot of the 2013 post season, the Pens were gonna steamroll everyone until they took their rightful place at the feet of the Tuukka. of course you could counter w/ Kessel, Vokoun, no Tuukka ahead and such.
Since the start of 2010-11, Penguins Evgeni Malkin has 97 points in 80 games without Sidney Crosby in the lineup (regular + postseason).
The Anaheim Dux scored more goals in 3 mins last nite than the Blackhawks scored in the their series vs Nashville.
Thanks to the Penz, Justin Williams has now lost a Game 7. Just putting some finishing touches on his career. You're welcome!
Once the puck drops for the ECF, Penz rookie Jake Guentzel will have played in more Conference Finals than the 0vul8r.
Here's a few more: Bryan Rust: 3 goals in Game 7s, 2-0 Matt Cullen: 6-0 career in Game 7s Penguins: 6-0 in Game 7s on the road
Blackhawk's already have 8 players back under a 14 handicap...and it's only the 2nd week in May. Way ahead of last year's pace.
I have an excellent Fun Stat in the hole but I'm saving it for the SCF (maybe). Certain (2) things have to work out to make it relevant. Stay tuned.
Here's a Clutch stat ***and BONUS***: MAF's shutout victory over Ottawa gives him the most postseason wins (62) by any active goalie in the NHL (61: Lundqvist). ***He is also the 12th NHL goalie ever to post at least (10) career shutouts in the playoffs.
