Agreed....

As much as I loath the Pens there is no denying they're a great team. I take no issue with the Preds goal being disallowed in game 6. I thought it was pretty clear the whistle had blown. Whether it was a quick whistle or not is a moot point.

Now this talk about this Pens squad (15/16 and 16/17) being one of the all time great teams.... LOL .... ahhh I don't think so. I would rank the Pens early 90's team as better and neither of them as good as the mid 80's Oilers, or late 70's Habs, maybe even the early 80's Islanders. Mind you as a Flyer fan my guys lost to all three of those teams in a finals series so its not like I exactly like those teams.

On a more important hockey note... at 52 years old and my back mostly recovered I am feeling pretty limber on the ice these days and I am doing a rehab assignment in the over 40 B league in prep for getting back to the A league this fall!!!
