  1. Babcock's Columbus career didn't make it to opening night.
  2. The Coyotes and bad ownership, happily married for fifteen years now.
  3. Kris Letang suffers the second stroke of his career. He appeared in the locker room after the game ended last night.
  4. Just as all of us predicted, the Saudi's beating Argentina.
  5. Now that the decades old speculation of what the missing robo penguin away uniform would have actually looked like on the ice has been put to bed, I have a new found appreciation for the Pittsburgh script uniform. No matter my criticism of the Pens RR2.0 , it's better than this train wreck the Sabres have trotted out in.
  6. Very European Cup Final look about it. I'm intrigued to see the rest of the identity.
  7. I look at this set and can only think that it has been built in the bowels of Allegiant Stadium in Vegas.
  8. Mike Keenan will be the guest of honor to do the reveal,
  9. Let's be fair here, the Pirates built a small ball park because they sucked for years before it was built and no one was showing up. Having maybe 20k at a Bucs game in Three Rivers that held 50k wasn't a good look. So they turned around and designed their 'small intimate ballpark'. It's the same end point Snyder is going towards with FedEx, just coming in from a different direction, by removing half the upper bowl for the same reason. Now, credit where it's due. PNC is a fantastically designed building, and the Pirates and HOK deserves all the praise they've gotten for how it turned out. But if they were a better drawing team that stadium would have been built with a club level with an additional 5,000 seats.
  10. I don't have the disdain for him and his broadcast partners now that I did in the 90s when Fox was competing against ESPN, but I still don't enjoy listening to him call a game. McGuire can single handedly ruin any broadcast he shows up on, and we are all better for him getting bumped from the A crew. I'm neutral on Edzo on NBC national until he starts talking about his pony racing. I usually have no problem tuning into a NBCS Chicago game to hear him paired with Foley though, and he used to work well with Mike Lange. Accepting Gary Thorne as a national hockey broadcaster is not going to happen again, I'd take Gord, his broadcasts are usually pretty good.
  11. The only thing I can not stand is the standalone D, it is absolutely horrid. I don't find the rest of it to be that bad. The court is in dire need of another center logo though.
  12. So the Campbell and Wales Conference Championships get combined but the Eastern Conference Championships are separated.
  13. https://twitter.com/SeaTimesSports/status/937841251726053377
  14. To be fair, the original concept for the Pens vs. Flyers game was that it would be a 'home and home' series. It is just taking a year longer to host the second leg then was originally planned.
  15. The problem was that they couldn't be frozen at all. The pucks were cut in half, the tracker inserted and then glued back together. I don't ever recall one splitting apart during play. With the advancements since the 90s, if they can somehow develop one that can stand being frozen, there is no reason why the NHL can't adapt Premier League goal line technology for hockey. And instead of the system signalling the ref of a goal, have it directly turn on the goal light.
  16. I decided to read this thread from the beginning, and came across this post. Re-evaluate expectations of the Qatari Wold Cup accordingly.
  17. The Pens fans I'm talking to almost unanimously agree that they're great. But I agree with you, I don't like these new ones at all, aside from the 2016 banner being in athletic gold.
  18. This brings up an issue regarding NBA (and NHL, I think) divisions that I think about every once in a while... Why do they even exist? Is it just to create a feeling of regional rivalries? It seems kind of pointless when it is a team's position in the conference, not division, that really matters. Which is why if the NHL did go back to 28 teams I would love to see them reinstitute the divisional playoff system that the league abandoned in the early 90's. Furthermore what better way to promote some bad blood among rivals then to have to play an additional 8-14 divisional games in the playoffs.
  19. I think the color is actually a charcoal gray, but it still looks good irregardless. Ive been hoarding construction photos of the place, I got to say, inside its a helluva building. Im not a fan of the exterior, but given the option of moving to Kansas City, I can live with it.
  20. The Pens have hung the banners in the new barn
