Hooooooooooooo boy I just saw the replay and the turnover that Lyubimov scored on was downright Flyers-esque. I'm still amazed we're pulling this poo poo off with Cooter and Read out and I'm naturally expecting them to crater back down to earth real soon. gently caress it though, 10 in a row feels pretty good and I'm actually enjoying the ride for once.

There are a few great things here #1: A goalie scored on a penalty shot. #2: This penalty rule: quote:The rules in our league are that if a penalty is committed in the first two periods the person has a shootout instead of a Powerplay. In the third it's a powerplay. Les Cones (White) had goalie interference on Les Coqs (Red). There was a lot of debate on who takes the shootout but the ref decided the goalie should try it. #3: The loving ref being the one to decide who shoots it.

A 10 game winning streak is fun but remember when the Capitals won like 13 in February or when the Penguins had an undefeated March, didn't help them any in the playoffs

Ultimately it didn't mean much, but it's an established part of team lore now and it was fun to be a part of. The memorable stretches of being a sports fan are few and far between for the most part so it's best to just appreciate them for what they are. You can go back to the needless over analysis when things are more normal.

ElwoodCuse posted:A 10 game winning streak is fun but remember when the Capitals won like 13 in February or when the Penguins had an undefeated March, didn't help them any in the playoffs For me, it feels more like building a war chest of points in case a tire is blown at some point on the way to the postseason, which is big when the other annoying thing about the East happens: a bunch of teams having .500+ records at the same time somehow. Right now, the lowest team of those five in the Metro (WSH) has a 10 point cushion on being out over New Jersey (since Tampa is the first team out and would slide into the Atlantic before getting to the WC, though that would theoretically make the first team out closer). Reminds me of the Jackets' 2014-15 9-0-1 run or whatever it was around this time of year. It felt like "Hey, maybe this could propel them back into the race", only to see everygoddamnbody else doing what PIT/PHI/CBJ/NYR/WSH are now.

The Pens last night became the first team in NHL history to have 10 consecutive seasons with at least a 7 game winning streak. Don't worry though I more than took my medicine from 01 to 04. God drat was that awful.

The Penguins have missed the playoffs 16 times in their 50 year history. That's a cushy team to be a fan of.

Best to just keep quiet or enjoy being the heel There's a pack of Yinzers who seem to have followed the CBJ's Twitter just to troll them when anything positive is posted. (CBJ get to six games in the win streak and momentarily pull ahead of Pittsburgh in the standings) "OH YEAH KISS THE RINGS BITCH U SUCK #LetsGoPens". The defensiveness is cute. It's like a kid who has a new young sibling they see as a threat when said younger sibling has hardly accomplished anything and would readily acknowledge that "Yeah, you've got me beat". e- I guess my point is "There's nothing wrong with being a likeable Pens fan. Just don't be those guys". There's a certain comedy to a fanbase spitting nails toward a fanbase whose existence has been misery save for 2008-09, 2013-the third period of Opening Night vs NYR 2015, and this season, especially when the Pens were poo poo of equal or greater value at times during the early years of the CBJ.

I saw the Bruins win a championship after a 39 year drought (I wasn't a fan all 39 years, due to not being alive yet) and then almost win another one, so I am pretty content with that and try not to complain. I think I will start to complain again in another 5-6 years, assuming they don't win anything, since at that point it would have been a decade since the last win and most of the Cup roster will be gone, retired, or close to it I'm sure.
