Bryzgalov vs Fleury = Fleury. Already a Stanley Cup winner. One of the best this season in the league. Holding together a team that has had a lot of injuries. I will give Bryzgalov a chance when he wins at least one playoff series in the Past/Next 5 years.

Pens D vs Philly D = Pens, narrowly. Both are great, Pens have less goals for but have had “Minor” injuries compared to Philly losing Pronger.

Pens O vs Philly O = Philly. Philly has more depth at forward whereas the Pens have a good first and second line, a better than average third and a patched together fourth. Philly has good depth through all four.

So tell me that the Flyers are soooo much better like you made it sound.

The Pens offered half what the Flyers offered, the Flyers most likely (Numbers were never released) offered the best deal on a team Jagr thought could win the cup. Which makes it seem like he went for the money no matter what you say, he just also went for a championship (Which he isn’t going to get).

No one in Pittsburgh said he owed us anything, Jagr himself said that he owed everything to Mario so I’m just going to stop right there.

Top D in the league? That’s pretty funny considering they are 18th in the league for goals against which isn’t all on the D but you can’t be worse than middle of the pack with the “Best D in the league”.

Crosby has played in 10 games now without problems, until now, only after taking a elbow to the head, and a full on check from one of his own players. Like to see you take a body check full on from any NHL player and tell me “It’s just a gust a wind that could knock him out”. Oh and Pronger is only one flight of stairs away from breaking his hip, yea it works both ways.

Also, without a lot of their stars the Pens still lead the Eastern Conference, keep trying Flyer’s fans.

And you expect a hometown to not overly root for their team? What are you retarded? Sorry I guess I should just show mild interest in all my sports teams. What a…. moron.

Still better than some of the ones NHL teams have worn in the past (looking at you, Canucks V-sweaters!), but… ugh, that was a bad idea they put on Orpik there.

Orpik is a moron. The simple truth is jägr looked at Pittsburgh where they have 3 good centers and 2 good d men and that’s it and one of those centers can’t cross the blue line without getting a headache. Or he could go to the flyers who have arguably the best d in the NHL. Perhaps the next big time scorer about to get his first chance to be the guy in giroux and a host of young hungry talent. Yeah that’s a tough choice.

Basicly offered the same deal in both towns except one team is on the rise and looking like the top contender in the east or the team that’s falling with an injured star who at the time no one knew if he was even going to play.

But hey Pitt fans keep telling yourselves he ” went to Philly for the money” why let anything like facts get in the way.

By the by didn’t Pitt say we don’t want you anymore back when he went to ny? Why do pens fans think jägr owed them anything at all. Because your local yocal sports guy says he fit ? The pens should be worried about a strong gust of wind giving Crosby another headache than what the flyers (best team in the east and top scoring team in the NHL even though they are top 5 in games lost to injuries) and their players are doing. I predict te flyers dominate the pens tonight. And I hope both teams are healthy and play in the playoffs because what could possibly be better than watching that cry baby Crosby get crushed by jägr

Also, how can you say that the hype in this game is diminishing just because Crosby isn’t playing? We have the leader of the league in scoring (Giroux) and two teams that hate each other through and through. Will more likely be a blood bath without Crosby playing as Philly won’t be afraid to go after them without getting suspended. Really looking forward to this game!
