Be that as it may, it was still fucking funny.

Really. Fredbird is the only acceptable choice, here.

That’s some good Kinja right there...

That’s precisely why he got the Conn Smythe. For as much as he didn’t show up on the scoresheet, he was doing yeoman’s work whenever he was out on the ice and showing why he’s the guy with the “C” on his chest.

No, Caps fans are just pissed in general, even moreso now that the Pens actually won.

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Crosby was doing yeoman’s work throughout the entire playoffs, much of it not gaining notice to most of us.

No, it’s not that. It’s Chapter 7. 13's when you can actually afford enough to pay shit, and enough that after 5 years, everybody’s happy.

Honestly, they need to average costs between the multi-badged makers (i.e. Toyota/Scion/Lexus, Honda/Acura). Still wouldn’t take away Toyota’s lead in costs, but for a lot of things with both of those particular makers, including the costs of names (i.e. Lexus and Acura) shouldn’t be part of the equation, unless…

Eh, already over it. And every time someone mentions the ‘42 Leafs, you end up looking like an even bigger douche.

You seem to forget, nobody in Pittsburgh even expected the Penguins to be here. If they lose tonight, it’s not a big deal. It just means they’d show off the Cup in San Jose on Sunday.

I could be wrong, but this playoff run for Kessel has been more productive than others that he’s been involved in COMBINED.

Hey, I had left the Pens for dead when they fired Johnston back in December. To be one win away from a Cup is beyond fucking mind bending for me.

I’d go Murray, but Kessel has been more impressive, especially since it’d be hilarious to see Toronto go nuclear when he’s presented with the Conn Smythe.

Um, there’s no media bias when you look at a stat like THIS:

Two things about that:

Super Bowl XXX. Neil O’Donnell actually hits the intended receiver instead of Larry Brown and they score both times.

Or the alternative: Couture gets waved out on a couple of faceoffs against Crosby at any time during the rest of this series and then the press and fans REALLY get all up in his shit. Lots of things you can go after Crosby for (legitimately), but this might not be one of them.

Saw somewhere that there was a huge jump on your bet with the Penguins. Kicking myself for not researching that better and putting $5 down.

EXACTLY. The pundits seem to forget that this is a TEAM sport, not an individual one. The only time individual skills are on display and evaluated during the season is the night before the All-Star Game, and even then nobody gives a shit.
