They were. I watched the Penguins win yesterday, and I'm watching them again later today.

Yeah baby. I was pleased with the preseason. 2-0 vs Rangers and 1-1 vs Flyers.

[golfLovergirl]

I am rooting for the Dallas Stars, but don't know how far they will go.

Yeah! Lets go Dallas! Oh and the Rangers! Only because they have 2 Alaskan players on their team

True story , many years ago whilst in NY for a oboard meeting I attended the rangers vs the canadians at madison sq garden . It was my first taste of ice hockey which was enlivened by the fact that as soon as we sat down I caught the puck , did not know what it was at first but caught it . Our chairman sitting one seat to my right said " i have been coming here 25 years and never caught the puck you have been here 25 seconds and have you SOB! It was the only time all night I ever saw the damm thing !

Look to the left; I think you'll understand who I cheer for

A great start with 9 out of a possible 10 points so far.

[Lemay427]

Blues vs. Red Wings should be a good game Wednesday night. GO BLUES!!!!

[iacas]

And another win tonight!

Not for the Bruins. Heh heh.

[Pat007]

Blasphemy!!!! No Habs fan can cheer for the Bruins

Hell yeah!

... I float between the habs and the bruins, my two favorite teams.. go figure

Dude, that's like routing for the Red Sox AND the Yankees ... or like routing for the Patriots AND the Jets ... PICK A SIDE MY FRIEND - PICK A SIDE!!

I think that we finally found something that Bruin and Habs fans can agree upon - you can't be a fan of both teams!

[JCDot33]

Not for the Bruins.

Ya know, iacas, sometimes the best team dosen't always win ... from what I saw last night the B's outplayed the Pens and it was only because of your goalie that the Pens stayed in the game ... Satan's goal late in the first off that rebound was the only one that Thomas gave up (until the shoot-out) and that was only because our defense didn't pick up the back-check as he came out of the box - that's a mental mistake.

[iacas]

Ya know, iacas, sometimes the best team dosen't always win...

But more often than not, they do.

I humbly request that you read this in the manner in which it's intended - just a little trash talking:

Ya know, JCDot, sometimes the best team wins ... from what I saw last night the Pens outplayed the Bruins and it was only because of your goalie that the Bruins stayed in the game ... Kessel's goal on a power play in the second was the only one that Sabourin gave up (until the shoot-out) and that was only because the Bruins were gifted an extra four minutes of PP time to begin with.

Sabourin is our backup goalie and the Pens are missing two big defensemen. Boston had four extra penalty minutes and were outshot 28-27 at even strength (their 4-shot advantage came with an 8-3 differential in power play shots). Pens won most of the faceoffs (35/66) and, to me, matched up pretty evenly with the Bruins.

I appreciate and respect your fanaticism for your team (though I admit to losing a lot of respect for Boston fans in general when they'd boo for obvious penalties and other things), but I think you'd have a hard time selling "Boston is better than Pittsburgh" to most people. C'mon now... save that silly talk for "Tom Brady is an elite quarterback" threads.

[JCDot33]

But more often than not, they do.

C'mon now ... what are fans without "Trash-talk" ... I'm from New England ... I can take it just as much as I dish it out ...

Sabourin is our backup goalie

You had thebest damn back-up in the league last year (second is GAA) where the hell is Ty now, a true journeyman that boy, never with one team too long ... On a side-note, Ty is a long time acquaintance of mine. Watched him play 4 amazing years at UNH, and drank a few beers with him after a few games.

... but I think you'd have a hard time selling "Boston is better than Pittsburgh" to most people. C'mon now... save that silly talk for "Tom Brady is an elite quarterback" threads.

I'm sorry, you are right ... I am just longing for the days of Ray Bourque, Cam Neely and all of the hard-nosed gutty Bruins that actually WON Stanley Cups, and not just had wet dreams about them.

Wow, you mean Tom Brady ISN'T an elite quaterback ... I really only have one comeback for that one (and it comes from an ELITE Goaltender quote) "Tom can't hear you because he has his championship rings stuffed in his ears! (Yes, I know that Ray and Cam never brought us a Cup ... but if they had had a front office that wanted to spend money, they could have ... I think I teared up a little when Ray lifted that Cup in Colorado - he even was playing with that aforementioned elite goaltender at that time ... I think.)
