fryer98 30 Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 Also from the Pensblog but non readers and non pens fans should also be able to find a way to enjoy this video of a Pittsburgh area elementary school rooting for the Pens. I won't be able to watch that video until I get home....but I will be driving by that elementary school on my way home from work, since I have to stop by my parent's house and they live a mile from it.I know you ALL wanted to know that.

I had to look up where that school actually was since it wasn't on my side of town. I shoulda known it was in your neck of the woods.To add to my terrible story...I saw your link but didn't click it cause I can't see youtube at work. Later in the day, I went on the West Allegheny school web site to see when their last day is, since my little brother is in 10th grade. While on the HS site, I saw a link to Donaldson Elementary and clicked it for no reason. On their main page, they had a link to a Pens video. I thought to myself "I wonder if that's the video that dEv linked on FCP." AND IT WAS! OOOOOOOOOOOOMG!!I'm going home...to punch myself. Link to post Share on other sites

doox 15 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Im glad. I hate penalty filled games.I'd prefer a few powerplays, actually. I think the special teams gives an advantage to the Pens, more than their 5v5 match-ups. Link to post Share on other sites

I think the special teams gives an advantage to the Pens, more than their 5v5 match-ups.I understand that, i just miss the old days where it was damn near impossible to score and when you did i was so huge. Now a 3 goal lead means almost nothing. Link to post Share on other sites

Now a 3 goal lead means almost nothing.The late 90's were the old days? I was never a big fan of defensive-clogging, clutch and grab hockey. I think scoring nowadays is a better balance between that and an all-star game. Link to post Share on other sites

I just hate all the ticky tack penalties, a little hold here and there who cares. I really just miss the blood on the ice to force a penalty call. Oh well.EDIT: The penalty on the pens is exactly the annoying calls that i hate. The guy doesnt even fall yet a penalty. Ill never like these calls. Blah Link to post Share on other sites

gruven 530 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 great gamecricketsI think the pens would be pretty happy with that game. they didn't play their 'A' game,. they scored two goals on themselves, and they lost game 1 on the road by the virtue of those own goals. I think they walk away from that one thinking 'these guys are very VERY beatable'. And welcome back, troll... Link to post Share on other sites
