Hello all!

I just found this site. Just wanted to post some thoughts here on the upcoming season and hear some opinions. First of all what a summer! I am still celebrating the wild and crazy game 7 victory over the Red Wings!! The offseason was great as the Pens were able to keep the roster relatively intact. The only major loss was Rob Scuderi but I believe they can overcome that loss. It will be difficult I think for the Penguins this season as they have had their second consecutive short summer and now they have a huge target on their backs. With the Olympics interrupting the season that will also pose a significant challenge for them as wll since their key guys will be competing. The Flyers and Caps have improved at least on paper and will be eager to get their shots against Pittsburgh. Hopefully at the very least I'd like to see a strong start. I don't think they can afford a repeat of last year. I'd like to see Sidney Crosby regain the Hart and Art Ross. Hopefully Fleury will learn to be a little more consistent this year as well. I think teh Pens should win the division then after that it will be a crap shoot since the Eastern Conference as always will be very tight.

Welcome Bubby. Happy to have ya here. As many around these parts will tell ya, the Pens are still in solid shape after the offseason. Not many concerns here other than the wear and tear of two-straight Stanley Cup Finals appearances. But we’ll worry about that when we get there. Let’s kick the season off first.

Hope to see ya round. Don’t be shy.
