WBS in 7

Woo-Hoo!! Let's go Wolf Pack!! :banana: :banana:

Watch out Pens...remember what happened to the Ice Cats? ;) :D

Go Pens! 7-2 in our last 9! Lookout Wolfpack... There's a storm of white approaching your area. ;)

Chiodo is going to eat them alive, Whitney and Orpik are going to tear it up this series and the Beech-Endicott-Armstrong line that was around at the begging of the season will re-unite....hopefully!

Is Dan Blackburn dressing for the playoffs?

Labarbera, Balej, Wiseman, Tyutin, Moore, Ortmeyer, Murray, Lampman..... its over Pens fans :)

Lets go Pack!!!

Beech
Endicott
Koltsov
Murley
Surovy
Ouellet
Armstrong
Kostopoulos
Meloche
Petersen
Orpik
Whitney
Lupaschuk
Nemec
Koci
Levokari
Scuderi
Chiodo
Caron
Fleury

No team has better depth.
The question is, who'll play as the best TEAM.

Although Hartford has home ice advantage, the series will open in Wilkes-Barre because the Hartford Civic Center is unavailable (the circus is in town.) Thus, the strange scheduling.

Not to mention there's more than 4 players that actually have NHL futures in the group...

Gosh darnit this is going to be one extremely easy series. :lol

I want to see WBS win er all. Fleury got robbed of a gold medal, and didn't win the Q championship either. Hopefully he and Chiodo will lead the way for the baby Pens.

I think the baby Penguins are the only prospect-laden team left standing.

Let's beat these Penguins!! :handclap: :banana: :banana:

The Pack will win 4-2, with goals by Wiseman, Balej, Nycholat, and Ulmer! :hockey:

1-0 Pens already.

The Pack tied it...1-1!! Larose from Nycholat! :handclap:

Penguins up 2-1 thanks to Kris Beech.

LaBarbera is hurt, he's been down for a good 5 minutes so far.

PENS WIN GAME 1.

Next game thrusday night and possibly being covered on foxsportsnet according to pens announcer on their website.

I don't think it will be, the Pirates are playing that day.

Is it scheduled for TV though?

Only like half of the Pirates home games are televised.

The Pirate game's not supposed to be on TV Thursday.

Strike that. I checked, and it isn't listed as being shown on TV.

I was looking at the Wednesday game.

Sounds like everything is working out for a wbs/hartford game of foxsportsnet on thursday. Let's hpe everything works out.

Milwaukee has some pretty good prospects on their team

Upshall
Shishkanov
Segal
Haydar
Gamache
Pivko
Hutchinson
Safranov(sp)

Yeah, but WBS is almost nothing but prospects.

Only Marquis Mathieau on the team either has no NHL future or NHL background(I'm not counting the 4 games he played in years ago).

Go Penguins.

Milwaukee has some pretty good prospects on their team
They all do. But they're also led by some veterans like Flaherty and Hrkac.

Looks like the rest of the series is on MSG for Rangers/Pack fans

Let's beat these Penguins!! :handclap: :banana: :banana:

Well you got two of the three goal scores right for game two!

I would like to note however that the BABY Pens trash talk of an easy series seems to have died out once the playing actually took place. :speechles Yes the Pens are not the only team with NHL prospects on it.

1- Where did anyone say it would be an easy series? All I see are guys saying it would be even.
2- Nobody said the Pens were the only team with prospects on it. Everyone said no team had more prospects (only one player is not considered one).

Don't put words into people's mouths.

Not exactly putting words in other people's mouths at all, except Jacobv2 did say prospect-laden so I do apologize partially to him.

Also just as a side note, the post was put up in good fun to get things stirred up again. People are too quiet when this will turn out to be a great series.

That's right, backpedal.

That's right, backpedal.

Backpedal? Umm, no both quotes definitely supported my statements.

The "Baby" Pens definitely have more high calibur prospects but that doesn't mean that they are a better team. Hopefully by this time Monday, with the Pack up 3 games to 1, tears will no longer be staining your cheeks.

Funny you chose to ignore these... :amazed:

As for your "prospect-laden", well "partially" apologizing serves no purpose since you weren't "partially" wrong.

for a team that had one of the best regular season records, i wasn't all that impressed with hartford last night. aside from balej, their offense didn't seem too threatening, and labarbera(sp?) saved their d's butts more than a few times. if the pens play to their abilities and chiodo plays well (what the heck was that on the ot goal?), i think the pens can pull this out.

Gosh dangit this is one extremely easy series. :lol

go pen :cry: :cry:

The series is tied at 2-2 after four games, game 5 is in Hartford on Tuesday night.

Pens up 3-2 :banana:

I now say it will be Milwaukee and Wilkes-Barre in the Calder Cup finals with Wilkes-Barre winning :handclap:

3-3 Game 7 tomorrow in Hartford

OoOoOoo things are getting interesting :D

Pens win, 2-1 in OT, series 4-3. It was anything but an easy series.

Congratulations to Wilkes-Barre on a hard fought win tonight and good luck to all the pen fans in the clader cup finals. And in the finals I am rooting for the Pens so untill the finals are over lets go Pens :win:
