NHL: 2008 - 2009 season is upon us

Sorry to the many Pens fans out there...

But WOW! That was an AWESOME game last night. That might be one of the most entertaining hockey games I have seen in a long time.

The stories today are all about Crosby and Ovechkin. But I think Varlamov was the hero. He made some unbelieveable saves to keep the Caps in it during the 1st period. That kid is something else....

Can it get better than that?

That was quite a game - well I didn't actually get to see it because we don't get versus, but I listened to (most of) it. Hopefully the results will be better tonight! We'll see.....

I agree, Jen. The Pens maybe two games down, but I don't think all the Pens fans here will let them down! I'll be taping the game tonight., it should be very interesting.

Had to laugh about Crosby complaining about the hats on the ice......Dude, skate around them!!!!!

I got a huge kick out of that too. Somehow I think had he scored his hat trick in Pittsburgh he wouldn't have asked the officials to make an announcement about not throwing things on the ice. What a whiney baby... lol

NO kidding. what a load of BS lol. is he new to hockey? He knows how it works when you get a hat trick. he was just mad that no one threw hats for him when he got his hat trick. had he been at home and the hats were for him he would have been in his glory.

He's a great player but more and more his whining and attitude gets to me.

I second that!!

For those who might be interested in how the Wings have done it over the years - 18 consecutive playoff appearances - a good read from the Orange County Register.

That was a long, hard-fought series between the Caps and the Pens. I'm glad it's over...and I especially enjoyed how it ended! Tonight we will find out who the Pens play next...I am hoping for Carolina for home ice, but my guess is that Boston will pull it out. GO PENS!

Go wings!
