Because SERIOUS Microsoft money was behind the bid to bring the Penguins to Portland, the kind of serious money that makes the Kansas City bid seem like chicken (or cattle) feed.

350 million? Cattle feed, what with an arena ready to go and underutilized by WHL Junior Hockey....

Don't fret.  There's always the Nashville Predators.  Only one of the best teams in the NHL and the people of Nashville simply don't care.

what a thrilling win tonight over the sabres.  unfortunately, they blew a 4-2 lead late in the 3rd to go to ot/shootout.

the whiff on the empty net was  [sm_disgust]

If the Pens can keep the core of their team together, they'll be a force for years to come.

Beat the Sabres and Devils on consecutive nights!!

This team is dangerous now, and in a year or two they're going to be unstoppable.  Mario says the new arena will allow them to spend up to the cap and keep most, if not all, of this young talent.  Hope it's true.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


i forgot that game was TONIGHT.      glad to see they won.   when fleury is on, and the team has some fire,  they can play with anyone in the league, for certain.  winning these 2 in a row is huge.    hopefully not to jinx them, but their remaining 12 games aren't  'that hard'  and they SHOULD be looking to win their division.   at the minimum, they need to keep home ice on ottawa
