tigerslionspistonshabs Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 A Cup an average of every 12-13 years? Yeah I'll take that. In my lifetime, I've only seen two of my teams win championships (Pistons in '04, Habs in 1993 even but I was only 7 and didn't really care much). I was a newborn when they won it in 1986 and a toddler during the Bad Boys teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time he was playing here, we had to trade him to Washington for Kris Beech, Michael Sivek, and Ross Lupaschuk because he was "dying alive in Pittsbooourgh." That's why we still boo him every time he's here. He shouldn't get a banner. Ever. But now he has played for all the NHL teams Can't he be forgiven now ?

If the return to athletic gold phase lasts, ironically, Mario will still have his #66 hung on a vegas gold banner (which is a color he rarely ever wore) and Crosby might have his #87 hung on an athletic gold banner (which cannot be determined how long he'll be wearing those colors, possibly just a small fraction of his career). Their banner consistency may wind up completely upside down. And if Jagr decides to retire someday, what about him? He never wore vegas gold. It will be funny him having the same banner as Crosby, despite having only played with Mario. Very true. Good thinking ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if I weren't a Flyers fan, I'd still find the Penguin team very unlikeable. Technically speaking, they took it down because he was still an active player, but that didn't seem to matter until he went to Philly after swearing up and down that he wanted to come to Pittsburgh again as a favor to Mario. We still boo him every time he plays the puck, and it's fantastic. And my absolute favorite is when local radio station WDVE made a parody of Moves Like Jagger called "Douchebag Jagr" ...personally, I like it better than the real thing lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeubNUnor8U I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

Based on how they switched up jerseys right after back to back cups and wanted to go with four jerseys, the Penguins completely get what you're saying and try to do that. Factor in the bankruptcies and it becomes every eight years. There is always something exciting on the horizon for the Pens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that a player like Jagr should be respected by Pittsburgh, even if he signed with Philly once...

He meant a lot to that franchise and should be honored with a retired number... and it should be in Pittsburgh Gold... It's not JUST because he went to Philly...Jagr has torn our hearts out a few times. We booed him since he demanded a trade to Washington. He was the captain of a team in the midst of the second-longest-running playoff streak in the NHL. It was a franchise that went from a joke to being legit, all in the span of his career. He said he was "dying alive in Pittsbooourgh", and so we traded him for Kris Beech, Ross Lupaschuk, and Michael Sivek (who?, who?, and who? is the correct response). His leaving began the slide to the bottom, selling off players until Dick Tarnstrom was our leading scorer...who then went to Edmonton and couldn't crack their top 6 defensemen. AND THEN, when the entire city (save a few bitter folks like myself) were willing to let bygons be bygons and welcomed home the prodigal son, who was talking about playing for the league minimum salary as a favor to Mario and because he wanted to come home, and we were all sorts of happy and proud...and then he decided to throw all of that away for, like, $50k more. And not just to any team for that minuscule pay raise, but to arch rival Philadelphia! He didn't just break our hearts, he ripped it out and skated over it. Oh no, it's not just because he went to Philly...or to Washington...it's HOW it happened, not just what happened. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

The_Admiral Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 "Dick Tarnstrom" has to be like the most randomly-generated-sounding name ever. Of course he'd be the one to lead Pittsburgh in scoring when they were at death's door. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerGuyJordan Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 On 6/17/2016 at 10:00 PM, Gold Pinstripes said: We're going to have to disagree here, in the context of the NHL, 4 Cups in 50 years is a very significant achievement. Only six other teams have exceeded Pittsburgh's total, and five of those are Original Six teams. Those clubs had a roughly 40 year head start, yet the Pens have already equaled the Rangers output, and are just two away from Boston and Chicago. We should also remember those Expansion Six teams had none of the advantages of modern NHL expansion. All they had were the Original Six castoffs, and this was before the Eastern European talent was available. You make a lot of good points, but to act like the modern expansion teams had it so good is a little bit of a joke, especially the last four. The talent pool was so watered down by that point that they got a lot of garbage players. Only five 2nd round appearances between the four of them, and only a single conference championship series appearance, with no Cup finals appearances. And the Columbus and Atlanta/Winnipeg franchises have, what, 2 playoffs appearances each, IIRC? And I think they've all been first round outs.

NeverSayNever Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 The Flyers won consecutive Cup's in 1974and 1975 - seven and eight years removed from their expansion season. The Islanders won four consecutive Cups from 1980 - 1983 - again eight years removed from their 1972 expansion season. As a long time hockey fan both teams were built by brilliant GMs in Keith Allen and Bill Torrey... and IMO, had little to do with garbage players available and much more to do with working the system that's in place and making astute draft choices such as: Bobby Clarke and Denis Potvin and finding gems like Bernie Parent and Billy Smith. As opposed to Flyers/Isles, teams like the Oakland Seals and Atlanta Flames did not take advantage of the system in place and quickly evaporated into defunct franchises. Today, I would assume building an expansion team (here comes the Las Vegas team) is more complicated by the salary cap... but on the flip side there's so much more talent available due to the international scope of the game.
