I just don't understand the Flyer fans hatred of the Pens--for years the Pens were the Flyers bitch, and they owned us in the playoffs. Naturally, Pens fans are thrilled with their recent domination (23-10) of the Flyers, it was like finally standing up to the school bully. But even with all of those lucky Pens draft choices, the Flyers have as much talent as the Pens do. The Flyers had the talent, but not the heart, to win it last year. the Pens just had more heart. Maybe that gets changed with Pronger--only time will tell. But it is time to put the past behind--both teams are very talented, and are going to be battling it out for a long time.

Great work. Pens fans don't remember their team's putrid stretch of hockey because they all jumped on the bandwagon after the team got better. Brilliantly written. Great work.

Just think, if another team got that "lucky" in recent drafts, they could have Tavares, Doughty, Kane and Eric Johnson. Unfortunately, it just didn't work out that way. I'm not a Bettman fan (though I'm not nearly as anti as many others) but I truly believe he orchestrated Sidney Crosby to the Pens. I love how “lucky” Pittsburgh was with their lottery picks.
