Canucks get Derek Roy

Suck it, Penguins!

I can't hear you all the way from 7th place in the West!

Just get in, baby!

Also, Moviegeek and I will be going to the Wings/Yotes game tomorrow. POTENTIALLY the last time the Wings ever play in Phx if they move (again).

You're bad luck, junior.

Funnily enough, I've never been to a game with Moviegeek where the Wings win. Any time I go without him... WIN.

Well, that was pretty fucking amazing.

Gee, I don't think the Penguins and Bruins like one another very much.

How many dumb penalties can one team make?

I gotta be honest. I have no idea who I'd want the Bruins to play at this point. The Islanders are hot (I can't believe the Islanders are a threat...), the Senators have played them well all year, and although we've had the Maple Leafs number, I really don't like the idea of tanking, especially since the Maple Leafs seemed to have kept getting better and better since the season has gone on.

Longest winning streak going into the playoffs? Yep

Past four games... 15-3

Will it continue?

I quit.

Penguins in the playoffs make me nervous every year. They do so well in the season but have a history of blowing it for the last three years. Even after a 5-0 win last night, I feel the Islanders could come back because the Pens get complacent.

Thank you jesus.

Hello Islanders.

I cried. Such a fitting end.

Green!

Jesus, cheering for a team in the playoffs is stressful as fuck

Tell me about it. It's stressful cheering for a team with a stacked roster, two significant winning streaks in the regular season, playing shit hockey for much of their first three games, despite winning two of those games. The Pens need to gain back some control. The Islanders may suck for the most part, but they're not going to lay down for you.

Dear Penguins,

I hate you.
