:lol :lol :lol
They were a shit team for like the 5 years before that.
:lol great update of that gif
I knew fuck all about where the pens were in the standings as a new 10-year-old fan. I liked them because the friend who introduced me to hockey liked them and mario lemieux. Nothing more. It automatically made me the outsider fan at school since everyone either liked the Leafs or Habs, and I kind of liked that. Just got lucky as a new fan that the team I started following won two straight Cups in my first two years of fandom.
I've just stayed a fan since then.

When the team sucks as bad as what they are with the talent they have, its deserved.
They aren't making the playoffs Smiley

So I bought an umbrella and feel like such a square using it. I almost didn't even use it when I walked home. And when I did I was laughing the whole time. Anyone else feel this way?
Let's see
Minny is playing
Sharks
Flames
Kings
Oilers
Avalanche
... okay yeah, you're fucked.
Nope. No problems using an umbrella.
Man, you take your shit far too seriously. @_@ I might also be mad if years of dominance were suddenly fading into the distant past, though.
Slowly regaining revenge for 2010.

Yes I do, it's a gift and a curse.

Maybe I will get used to it
I just realized that next season, we'll have the chance for a Wings-Rangers playoff matchup. It will be a "shit on your own team" spectacle of epic proportions if it happens.
Yada yada yada. Impostor.
So disappointed in you...
Now be a man ffs. What will it be? Leafs or Sens?
Choose wisely.
Playoffs are a whole new beast. I'd be lying if I said I didn't expect the Pens to go deep this season. Honestly, with the roster they have, and with the way the new guys have been coming together and contributing, anything less than a Stanley Cup will be disappointing this season. Not often your GM can add 4 key pieces without losing any roster players. This team feels different...deepest Pens have been since their Cup in 2009. Just getting that feeling, but I don't wanna go full-on Tabris just yet.
I mentioned this on the podcast, but as much as I joke about them failing, Pens are my pick to come out of the East as long as Fleury can keep his composure. The team is just too deep to not make a big run. If they get bounced in the 1st round it will be a failure of epic proportions.
LOL. How did you become a fan? Your dad bought you a jersey and said "You're a Habs fan"?

Who needs a PK when you have Dan Cleary on the PP, he kills off the power play all by himself!!!

Pens can score 5 goals on any given night. Only see a hot goalie ala Halak stopping them, or MAF just totally imploding. Don't see the second one happening, though. I think he plays well enough to win, the defense is strong when fully healthy, the Pens can hit with the best of them, their PP is lethal, PK is good, and their offense can be suffocating. I know it sounds like hyperbole, but seriously...a first or even second round exit by this team would just be unacceptable to me as a fan. I expect AT LEAST a conference finals appearance out of these guys.
Which podcast are you talking about?
NHL-Gaf Podcast we recorded last night, we talked about playoff matches and our picks for teams from the West and East. I'm thinking it'll be a Hawks - Pens Cup final.
Ah, so just like being baptized as a baby...don't know what the heck's going on and have no choice in the matter. Such a more "valid" way of becoming a fan.
This argument about fandom origins is pretty stupid to begin with.
Cool. Didn't know that existed. Available for DL somewhere?
Marvie is editing it, expect it... sometime soon. next couple days?
Is this the first one ever?
First one.
Dude, you're taking this way more seriously than I am. I'm just pulling your leg.
Traitor.
Probably tomorrow night. I'm not going to be finished with it today.
Yea, pretty rough around the edges but it's a start. We'll be rotating posters from different teams as well. Best part of it is learning that Quick is prejudice against Jets fans for some unknown reason.
That's putting it lightly. :lol

Well, hopefully when I wake up tomorrow I'll see that Detroit didn't completely collapse on themselves in 3rd or OT, or SO.
A mothafuckin shark ate me!

Quick you better have said great things about the Leafs or I'm done with you.
My family doesn't give a shit about hockey
so I have been on my own for the most part being a hockey fan. I only became a Leafs fan because I saw that one of the players had my name.
Little did I know that player stopped playing in the 70s while I discovered him in the late 80s.

Good point. If you want to cheer for the Pens then go ahead and do it but don't switch teams from that point on. Don't become a Red Wings fan when it looks good. I remember when the Flames were in the SCF and all of sudden I saw Flames jerseys all over the place.
Is your name that rare?
I'm fairly confident no NHL player has my name. I now want to find out. -goes to check-
EDIT: There's one. Welp. I now have to be a Stars fan, apparently. Hahaha no.
