Who did the Pens play who were any good until that point?

Now, the Pens also hit unlimited goal posts, and not once in the series could you say "the Pens got a lucky break there," but go ahead - overlook the Bruins all you want. It'll depend on which team shows up - the one that barely beat the Leafs or the one that beat the prohibitive favorite.


Your Pens fanboyism is popping up again, my friend.  Let us not forget that the Pens struggled against the lowly Islanders.  When even the commentators state that the Pens dont play defense, its pretty bad because typically all they do is worst the Penguins because of Crosby.

Better luck next year, maybe you will have a new coach if Mario has his way.

Every team in the East, repeatedly, during the regular season. Two playoff teams before that, both of which had pretty stout goalies, historically. Facts, man, what a bummer!

Oh brother. No, I base what I say on facts, and observation. I'm not posting videos produced by Mizuno about how the sound of Sidney Crosby's hockey stick is definitive proof that they're the most awesome hockey team in the world. You do that kind of stuff. :)

And seriously, "fanboy"? What are you, 12? I'm a fan, yes, and if you spend any time with a true fan of any Pittsburgh sports team, they'll tell you more negative shit about their teams than fans of their rival teams.

They won in six games, and shut the Islanders out in two of them. They got cocky after the first game, sucked for a few, finally pulled Fleury (rightfully so), and then were fine. They pretty much destroyed Ottawa.

And again no playoff team is "lowly."

Which announcers? I've watched the Pens all season. They're 12th in Goals Against. "They don't play defense" is a baseless claim not grounded in facts.

Anyway, the Pens are golfing now, and there's absolutely nothing to be gained from discussing the Pens season at this point, so… good luck to Chicago and Boston.

Both Boston and Chicago seem to have great team chemistry, roll 4 solid lines and create the lucky bounces for themselves. I do believe Boston's team defense is better than Chicago's and Boston's a little deeper personnel-wise.If you look at both the Pittsburgh series and the Rangers series, it was the fourth line for Boston that seemed to make a difference every game,however now with Greg Campbell out that might change.Thing about Boston I like is they get so many goals from the point and Rask is pretty damn good.

I agree, it should be a good series for those who watch. I think the teams match up pretty well.

I think Bobby Hull and Bobby Orr should be honorary Captains.  Even though I grew up a Bruins fan, I loved to watch Hull play.  And Orr was just breathtaking.

Wow, two games with 10 periods of hockey!  These are two very evenly matched teams.  They play like they know each other's every move.

Great Series and I wish it went to seven games (so does the NHL).  Check out the ad the Blackhawks put in the Boston Globe.  Very Cool.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
