Malone and Rolston will -not- take you from last to first. Sorry for the bad news.

Enjoy Malone's 25 goals and Rolston's fading career though.

ITT the next Pittsburgh Penguins

I'm getting sick of the horrid management getting draft pick after draft pick until the team gets better.

They also got Prospal.

They had a HORRID coach this past year and completely underachieved. Overlooking Tampa Bay, especially in the PATHETIC southeast, is a mistake.

And I'd rank the Flyers over the penguins right now. Flyers still have 95% of their depth, while Gagne should be completely ready to go. Giroux is coming up after being the QMJHL playoff MVP getting 51 points in 17 games.

That's logical when you look at their last 5 meetings.

You forget that Pittsburgh has since lost Hossa, Malone, Roberts, and Orpik (among their many free agents) and has gotten nothing in return?

You forget that in the playoffs Philly was playing with their most banged up team of the season? Umberger will be easily replaced by Giroux, and We played 90% of the season without Prospal, but Gagne will more then fill his role.

Prospal can be good when he wants to be, but he really isn't that aggressive, and only shows up 25% of the time. I'd take Malone over Prospal any day.
>> Anonymous
the best Prospal was CB's to Crosby, via a myspace message. he was rejected however because of his tiny penis

In what? 20 hours? They'll no longer be with Pittsburgh. Both of them will not resign. Most of the young players there actually want out because they hate the coach.

Unsubstantiated rumor is now fact?

Malone is nowhere near young. 51 points on a line with Malkin.

That's because Malkin is a selfish as fuck hockey player, that does nothing for his line.

It's true. And then when he tries to play as a team, all he does is turn the puck over. A great hockey player makes those around him play better (much like what Crosby does.) all Malkin does is make everyone around him play harder to pick up after his slack.

You apparently don't know Malone's role.

All he does is go to the front of the net and attempt to tip in shots or shovel in rebounds. Even IF Malkin is the most selfish player in Hockey, Malone should score more than 26 goals off of rebounds alone.
>> Anonymous
Wasn't CB gushing over how great a Power forward Malone was when he was on the Pens? Now all of a sudden he's just "a guy who had success while being on lines with Crosby/Malkin"

Kinda funny how he is laughing about the Flyers winning the cup, Flyers will make the Playoffs, Pens barely will.

Kiss Hossa and Orpik goodbye.

I also expect someone to take a shot at Fluery, of course the Pens will more than likely match, but at a 6-7 million price tag.

Why are you commenting on hockey when you have no fucking idea how free agency works?

Holmstrom, who is arguably the best in front of the net player only had 20 goals, and 40 points. And Malone is much much more than just that type of player. Maybe if you weren't such a bandwagon faggot you would know what your players are good for.

God here; I can't tell you who will win, but I can tell you who WON'T win.
1. Chicago Blackhawks. I mean really; this team is the one team in Chicago no one ever loves, reguardless if they are good or the suck.
2. St. Louis Blues. They are never gonna do it, for they are cursed due to the fact that there is no blues music in St. Louis! Why is this not the team name for Chicago, where blues music actually came from?
3. Pittsburgh Penguins. Even with mega-fag Sidney Crosby, this team is NOT the team of the future, due to a retarded coach who should be shot (and I ain't a Pens fan or hater, so saying he should be is a bad thing), and no money to spend, due to no one willing to buy them.
4. Boston Bruins. Until Fitzy from YouTube, the psycho fan of Boston sports, actually shows up and supports this team, they have no chance. This guy spends 24/7 worshipping the Pats, Sox and Celts, so for him to ignore the Bruins tells you something about their ability to suck.
5. LA Kings. This team is beyond the normal level of total shit; I can't believe this team exists anymore, especially since the Ducks don't suck.
6. San Jose Sharks. Ok, why has this team STILL not won anything? Because no one in San Jose knows what hockey is.
7. Montreal Canadians. Ok, this team could have won it, but I now put them on the unlikely side due to the NHL doing everything it make the Canadians the worst team in the NHL, for if the people who live in a city where there is a riot after winning a first round series, you don't want that team to ever reach the playoffs again.

So who will win? I don't know, but my hopes are on the Detroit Red Wings (the one thing in Detroit that actually is awesome)

Love to all,
God.

The only two important people on that list are Stuart (He's gone, but we've got enough defensive depth to replace him) and Valterri.
Maybe Jimmy, too.
The rest are either useless or guaranteed to resign (Where the fuck is McCarty going to go?)
