If you are up for it try the challenge boys. NHL Bracket Challenge League Name is Shtoonahdz Password is hockey or Hockey Hope to see you there. Sorry I couldn't figure out a damn link to invite friends. Invite anyone you want.

yes it was a they actually won in OT/Shoot Out, shocking!!!! have 2 more games Tuesday vs the Avalanche and also an April game vs the Panthers, then its a wrap for the 25-26 Pens regular season for me.

that was a fun game

Letang Bobblehead game vs Winnipeg and now have all three Letang, Crosby and Malkin bobbleheads from games this year. Hopefully will be a good win today as can’t afford a lose in the playoff push.

At the Pens game tonight and got a free shot of SkrewBall peanut butter whisky and also a free golf towel👍

great points @Raken65 and didn't even mention it was probably all the fault of Penguins GM Kyle Dubas who seems to be a good scapegoat for Leaf Fans. Guess some can't figure its truly a team game, so offensive stars like Matthews, Marner, Nylander and Taveras much like Edmonton with McDavid and Draisaitl can't win championships alone, as you need strong 4 lines + a great D and also very strong goaltending. Guess will be a very interesting week for the Leafs until trade deadline, as team looks like more of a seller under a rebuild/reconstruct then a wild card playoff team.

Honest question here. Is there a team, not just NHL team but sports team, more frustrating to follow than the Toronto Maple Leafs? ( possible exception NY jets in the NFL). Almost 60 years without a championship. Generations of fans have not seen Toronto hoist the grail. You would think a competitive team would have fluked a championship in that time frame. Like my Habs in '86 and ''93 but I digress. And let's make no mistake about it. They have been very competitive. The Sittler years in the '70's. The Burns/Quinn years in late '90's/early 2000's. The truculent Brian Burke years Particularly '93. The non call on the Gretzky high stick in Game 6. The Gretzky dominance in Game 7. That Game 7 was the only time I recall cheering for them as I wanted a Leafs/Habs final. Over the last decade or so the Core 4. So much talent, so much hope yet barely able to win a play-off series. The largest city in Canada with very deep pocket ownership yet nothing over those years. Fast forward to 2026 and they seem to be on the abyss of a re-build. No top prospects, no top picks. They can't score, can't defend and can't stop a puck at a crucial time. The coach and GM likely to be fired soon. It is absolutely mind boggling the degree of their incompetence.

I'm not blaming. It's a commentary on the "Canada is not as dominant as it used to be" trope. As I said I believe we dominated in fine fashion. It was pretty evident in most games how much better we are. As i have been saying since forever.... teams play different in front of different goalies. I don't think Binnington inspires the "I got this net on lock" type of vibe. Everybody I know thinks he's not very good.

Quickly back to disagreeing with you. He lost 1 game in which he gave up 2 goals. Nobody is to blame, they played great for the most part.

Canada definitely had some scoring woes in the tournament but the games were heavily one sided in Canadas favor in all other aspects. I been saying Binnington was a mistake and they should have went with Thompson. That could have been the difference maker.

I usually try to stay out of political stuff or the whole Canada vs. USA debate, but I just want to share another perspective. The gap has definitely closed — not just with the U.S., but with a bunch of European countries too. The days of Canada cruising through the tournament and only having one real battle for gold are long gone. One of Canada’s biggest issues is the media and the pressure it puts on players. The media always acts like Canada’s supposed to win easily every time, but that’s not how it works anymore. All that hype just piles on the pressure, and yeah, players are human too. When everyone expects perfection, it’s easy for mistakes to creep in. As for Canadian NHL teams not winning the Cup, the media is part of that story too — like goalies getting run out of town in Edmonton, or Leafs players leaving because of all the criticism. But money’s a big factor as well. Sure, the salary cap’s the same for everyone, but taxes in Canada are way higher. Some U.S. states give players a much better deal, and when your career only lasts so long, it makes sense that they’d want to maximize what they bring home. I don’t really see a fix for it, so I’ve just made my peace with it. Still, I cheer for Connor — the guy’s taken a discount because he actually wants to bring the Cup back to Canada. So yeah, if teams like Minnesota, Colorado, Florida, Tampa Bay, Dallas, and Vegas could just chill and let him live out his dream, that’d be great.

That is funny i was so riled, never bothered to figure that out. ICE will come and take you away now. How dare you! 😀

Would you feel better to remember that I’m American?

I never said USA was better at Canada in hockey, we were one this time but are closing the gap but this statement " If these teams played 10 times, the US would be lucky to win 2 , in my opinion" so you would say that the last 16 world juniors, Canada should have won more golds then USA because you are so dominant. USA 6 Canada 5. Just saying it's your national sport, you invented it, and it has been 33 years since a Canadian team has won a Stanley Cup. That doesn't bother your sense of Canadian pride? Then bring up why you are not winning because of the economy. Last time i checked it was a salary cap same amount for every team. Not saying USA is better at hockey, but the condescending comment riled me. All I heard since they won was oh you got lucky. Also vancouver and minnesota is not best on best so not really a good example. Also, I hate Trump, so this is not his bullshit patriotism. I love Canada. I think it is a great country, Hockey, LeBatts, poutine and SCTV. Some of my favorite things.

People are the best A Dead Pig (The Pig War, 1859): This nearly led to war between the United States and Great Britain over the San Juan Islands. An American farmer shot a British-owned pig for rooting in his potato patch. Military forces from both sides were brought to the island, leading to a tense, bloodless standoff that was eventually resolved through diplomacy. The pig was the only casualty.

I find it interesting how the outcome of a single game devolves into a conversation about the best hockey nation. It's like... Vancouver beat Minnesota on December 6, so THEY'RE THE GREATEST FRANCHISE IN THE HISTORY OF HOCKEY.

Shit the last 5 cup winners are mostly Canadian.. Except Colorado.. But they have Mackinnon so that makes them Canadian. Love it especially when they wear the Nordiques Jerseys

I dunno man. When 23 % of the team is from Canada it's a pretty Canadian team to me
