i'd say they (the pens/ticketmaster) have an interstate commerce problem if somebody has the balls to do something about it.  
 
 everyone knows the pens WILL win their home games anyway, right?  yeah, right.

its kind of silly to restrict the sale of a thousand tickets that sold out in 5 minutes anyway. but who here cares (besides the caps fan that got tickets anyway). did our weblebrity get tickets to game 4?

The Pens are on silly streak might as well keep it rolling.
 
 They were Standing Room Only tixs. I went back about 10 minutes later and the equivalent of a busy signal in web page form popped up.

2-1.

We got a series now - great hockey last night: flow & tremendous hitting. SICNN:
 "In a showcase Game 3 that ranks in excitement and physicality and sheer quality with any match in the past five finals..."
 
 Game 4 is gonna be FUN. Detroit will treat it as a must win...just like the Pens.
 
 Pens still not converting chances like they usually do. If they can/do - this could get real good.
 
 How about that shift by Orpik last night - 5 hits in the corner?

 The key to the series def appears to be SCORE FIRST and avoid the other's trap.

disagree that there is a trap of any kind. big difference between fast, talented forwards making it back to help on D and the jacques lemaire trap of the mid 90s.  in these games the puck has been moving zone to zone pretty quick. love the elimination of the two-line pass rule.

The only downside to Cup #11 is that it has to be won against a second or third-tier team like the Pittsburgh Porcelains. What an embarrassment to the league.
 
 Sure hope you Pentards enjoyed trading your next few seasons away to have your players crap their diapers and your coach do his best blubbering vagina impression.

We stopped being classy when Shittsburgh banned MI residents from buying ticketmaster tickets.

We got over it because we got Konstantinov out on the ice pretty quickly, but you're right. To be honest, #10 was a pretty terrible opponent too, but I can't get down too far on any team with Ron Francis.

I was working on my Michel Therrien impression.

Speaking of crap, the TV rights have to be taken away from NBC aka the Nothing But Crosby network.
 
 Their website even blows, on their main hockey page article titles with:
 
 Crosby = 18
 Zetterberg = 7
 Osgood = 5
 Malkin = 4
 Holmstrom = 2
 Datsyuk = 2
 
 And Milbury is the biggest tool of all the announcers.

At least we got to see one of the "most shocking accomplishments in hockey history."   :roll:  
 
 I bet you have all these in your closet too:
 Yankees hat
 Duke jersey
 Lakers wrist band
 Cowboys tank top
