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!!!

I'm with you Trader. I hate, (well dislike immensely), the Patriots but I respect their winning ways. (All except the cheating
).
Hope you make it!
