I hate this. I really do. To say the 2023 Pittsburgh Penguins season was a disaster would be an understatement. Imagine a fully healthy Crosby and Malkin and still missing the playoffs. And not just coming up short, but doing it in the most frustrating and predictable ways possible.
The rest of the league celebrates the demise of the Pens, and I slowly die from the pain. We will enter hell itself. Welcome to the post-Cup downfall. God help us all. - Sport
Tree doesn't just have receipts about what he has said about the Penguins. He has grown forests to offset how much he has collected.
The receipts are organized, itemized, double entered, scanned AND backed up off site
Yeah, Tree does his homework.
It's why I keep coming back, even when he dumps on my teams - because while I might not always agree with or like what he has to say, I always respect it.
How did Pittsburgh hire Mister Philadelphia and not expect him to submarine the team?
Receipts and invoices
So _that's_ why he was so eager to work with Established Titles: to offset his paper footprint!
EDIT: I apologize, Lord Tree. I had to -explain the joke- put 2 and 2 together.
The moment I heard Ron Hextall say that he couldn't easily describe his plan for the Pens, I just started laughing and knew they were screwed, because that is the exact wording I use whenever I don't have a plan.
Same here man
He’s a undercover agent for the Flyers out to destroy the enemy from within
Still working for the Flyers undercover lmaooo
"They need to embrace speed and youth, and not trade their first round picks like they always do" Some Yinzer
Yet another example of the consequences when you refuse to acknowledge reality. The window shut years ago
Now the rebuild is going to be even worse than it otherwise could have been
One of the things I love about you Tree is that even when it's a team you cheer for, you will still give an honest and brutal assessment of what their problems are. Bravo, keep up the great work.
If anything, his rants about his own teams are the MOST brutal
@@PigeonLord21 Oh, yeah, especially when he goes off on the Steelers.
Tree says everything we already know but need to hear again.
@@PigeonLord21 was just about to say that
@@PigeonLord21 as a Mets fan I can most firmly attest:
As much as we get clowned on by other teams nobody wants to scream and yell about how shitty and cursed the Mets are more then Mets fans. We will rip into our team so much that really other fans don't have to do anything but watch and chuckle. Obviously it's the same with Tree lol.
I'm a Capitals fan and so while you'd think I'd feel giddy, despite us also missing the playoffs. But if I feel anything, it's a slight tinge of melancholy. Our rival stars have fallen and our cities are in darkness.
Same here as a Bluejackets fan, we are in hell right here and the Pens flopped so hard it even screwed us.
At least Dan Snyder is no longer the owner of the Commanders… maybe?
@@darealconmanthe organization will still suck, because the culture is not "pretty damn good". Just the mere mention of it leaves a bad taste in my mouth regardless
At least the Caps Ownership knew it was time to blow the team up. Pittsburgh is screwed for years to come.
@@qshot9848 It was more of a Retool than a rebuild, but yeah, I'd have been livid if we'd bought at the deadline this year and kept Laviolette. At least now we have Sandin and a high pick in a great draft to go along with decent prospects, and no matter what we get to watch Ovi chase Gretzky for the next few years.
it’s such a shame that we didn’t even fall apart because of keeping the big 3 together, the two headed monster played fantastic, they just had no one else to help them out, actually a tragedy
Like a certain baseball team in Anaheim....
@@fpjrzman even the Mighty Ducks was a less humiliating name
12:08 Hey UT. If you're wondering how much Seattle loves Jared McCann (including me), we certainly do. Him being our first 40-goal scorer is only half the reason he's a fan favorite on the Kraken.
yeah i gotta say im happy they botched that. certainly a reason we are in the playoffs rn
Pain
We never deserved McCann anyway.
Yeah, but have you even seen Big Jeff Carter
He’d be on the third line in Pittsburgh so glad Yinz have him. He’d have like 13 goals and play like 10 mins
As a Blues fan, it sucks having no playoff hockey this year, but seeing situations like this, I’m glad we were sellers at the deadline this year. Hated to see O’Reilly and Tarasenko leaving, but it’s either that or sign them until they’re in their late 30s.
Same, but then again we need to start embracing the future of Blues hockey and build on it
I'd love to bring O'Reilly back if the contract is right. Only exception is if we land Bedard, Fantilli, or Carllson.
Was just thinking this myself. Seems we got Vrana for a steal and Blais definitely seems invested in the team still.
Yeah at least Doug Armstrong seems to actually have a plan. Unlike Pittsburgh
People were and still are sleeping on Vrana. I think Blais was extremely happy to come back to St. Louis and it showed. Kapanen I believe will be as tree put it, a player that will end up “flying” after leaving the Pens.
The best part about it? We still have 3 first rounders 😂
The fact that Jared McCann has gone from struggling on the Penguins to being a dominant player with the Kraken is mind blowing
He wasnt really struggling with the Pens. McCann was a quality depth piece here, and I honestly didn't want him to go.
@@UrinatingTree fair I don't know much about then pens and all I had to go by was a coworker who said he struggled but him finding his potential and role in Seattle is definitely helping him and the team clearly
@@UrinatingTree yes I thought he was pretty stellar, he led the team in power play goals (mostly from the 2nd unit) the year before he was shipped out prior to the expansion. He wasn’t 40 goal great but he played in the bottom 6. Would’ve been a crucial piece in keeping the Pens relevant
McCann didn't struggle with the Pens
McCann was awesome with the pens.
This is the harshest lesson we will learn: We all have an expiration date. - UrinatingTree
"Father Time is undefeated"
@@Damian_1989 Ain't nobody bringin' him down.
As a Habs fan I would like to sincerely thank you for Matheson. Dude's been an absolute stud this year.
The moment we've all been waiting for!!!
That feeling when the Pirates are a better run organisation...
Wait that's illegal
Bob'll fuck it up somehow
at least they're not the A's
;_;
I never thought I'd see a day like that come
Imagine having more faith in the Pirates than the Penguins. Even Tree can’t believe that that day might be here.
Hextall was a Philly plant, and a brilliant one at that. He was such a good plant that even he didn't know he was a plant.
I have the same feeling as UTree about this being the Detroit Red Wings collapse. They won multiple cups, kept buying to try and make the playoffs for first round exits, the GM slowly going senile and making dumb moves. Then they finally miss the playoffs while their franchise stars careers ended in a thud (Zetterberg and Datsuyk). It's very possible that Pittsburgh goes through this. I feel they may be entering a dark age soon.
The dark age already started.
They saw what the Steelers were doing and liked it.
As a Flyers fan, I can’t help but feel bad. Although we hate each other, I know firsthand how bad incompetent management is. We went through Hextall AND Fletcher…
At least U-Tree has many Cups to savor over ... it's been nearly 50 years for us, with no end in sight
It's funny how many Flyers fans legitimately kindly told us Pens fans that Hextall was going to completely mangle the team. Could not have been more honest or correct.
Penguins fans 🤝Flyers fans
Hating GM Ron Hextall
Until Holmer and Clarke are shitcanned nothing will change. They have still managed to stay in the organization despite the rotating door of GMs and Coaches.
@@douglasschultz9808 This is rumor but word is, they might be on the way out. Dave Scott actually went behind their back and fired Fletcher. THEY wanted to keep him.
Watching Hextall do to the penguins what he did to the flyers was the only satisfying thing to happen as a flyers fan in the last decade
The worst part of the game against CBJ was that it was Pittsburgh's first loss against the Blue Jackets since NOVEMBER 29TH, 2019.
and we were ACTIVELY TANKING. i never thought id be so pissed at a win, much less one over the pens
They lost to an AHL team.
Which ruined the tank, so both sides get to be embarrassed. What a triumph of sport.
better than losing 4 straight to CBJ in 2019
That was the most hilarious thing to me about that. All they had to do is win one game and they're in, and they're playing the Cleveland Lake Monsters and the Blackhawks, with one of those at home. And not only did they fail to win both games, they got blown out by Chicago at home. Like damn, that's even more embarrassing than just coming up short, they had to actively choke those games to turn down the NHL's free playoff voucher like that.
Red Wings went out sad.
Pens went out funny.
Hextall is still a Flyer at heart with what he did to Pittsburgh
Philly saboteur, mission accomplished...
Unfortunately the Flyer in him was probably what caused him to underachieve even with the odds in favor
If it was up to the Yinzers, Hextall would never have been hired. Instead, the most likely candidate would have been Capitals GM Brian MacLellan and his "Jedi mind tricks" to make other teams retain salary. Of course, trying to lure him away from DC, especially after the Capitals won a Cup with him as GM, would have been too tall an order to begin with.
You guys forget how we dismantled the Flyers and brought them Into Obscurity😮
The season when "Well, whaddya know, THE FUCKING PENGUINS!" has a new meaning.
There is no better content on CZcams than Tree discussing Yinzer sports.
14:16 - 14:22 1 year later at the Trade Deadline, Jake Guentzel is traded for Michael Bunting, Ville Koivunen, Vasily Ponomarev, Cruz Lucius and a conditional 2024 1st round & 5th round
That's Pittsburgh sports for you, Always proving Tree right
You know things are bleak when the Pirates seem like the most hopeful team in pittsburgh
😂 nah its still the Steelers but the pirates are better than the pens tho
Hearing the Simpsons Hit and Run music (starts at 9:23) took me back to killing hours upon hours of searching for those cards, wasp cameras, and hidden gags, and winning races to unlock cars. That feeling of FINALLY getting 100% completion at the end was awesome. Unlike the Pens this past season, I actually accomplished my goal.
Chris Pryor was a former scout for the Nashville Predators, btw.
Internal sabotage.
They had an incredible 15+ year playoff streak, but I for one am hoping this is the end of one of the greatest heel team runs in nhl history.
Last time the Pittsburgh Penguins missed playoffs was in 2005-06 season and it was Sidney Crosby rookie year Mario Lemuix second retirement
It must have sucked to sacrifice monetization on this video for that montage of the dumb decisions by Hextall with the Toy Story 2 because of copyright, but I'd say it was 100% worth it because that montage was perfect and showcases the bad choices this team ad which led them to this point.
Being a Pens fan is painful right now.
I'm used to the monetary issues, so it doesnt bother me that much. Have to make the best possible video you can.
The sponsor segments help out there, as well.
Oh the poor penguins when will things start going their way
-Steve dangle
And here to think that Days of our Steelers would be the greatest telenovela to grace the greater Pittsburgh region.
Anytime Pittsburgh gets the shaft from Tree it’s a good time.
I love it when you do Seat Geek ads. It doesn't get old, I promise. It's like a tradition
Whenever that SeatGeek ad appears I'm already geared up for the best 10 minutes of my day
Seeing "Extend Jeff Carter for two years" Litterally made me unintentionally laugh... why did they do this lmao
1:17 will ALWAYS be a sore spot for Nashville, we almost had it and then ref puck in Game 2 took it away from us. Then things started to fall apart for several seasons after that with us not making the playoffs this season.
I’ve been waiting for this… it’s gunna hurt but I think I need this
As a Pens fan it hurts but unfortunately it's so true
The last time Montreal swept the Penguins in their regular season series was during the 2003-04 season.
This Montreal team, that was a glorified AHL team by the end of the year, did something that hadn’t been done since the pit of misery that was pre-Crosby Pittsburgh.
If that’s not an omen of doom then I don’t know what is
Now we need a video like this for the Capitals. Even though they saw a shorter playoff streak come to an end, they are in a similar boat with the Penguins. At least they accepted their fate sooner and started selling at the trade deadline. Hathaway and Orlov were sent to Boston. It'll be interesting to see what type of approach the two clubs take this off-season but I doubt either club can do much.
The Flyers, Penguins, and Capitals. Three former Patrick Division rivals facing uncertain futures. Crosby, Malkin, Letang, and Ovechkin won't be around forever, and once they're gone, HELL AWAITS!!!!!!!
@@CJEstradaMartinez With those long term, no-trade, buyout-proof contracts? Crosby, Malkin and Letang WILL be around forever.
At least the Capitals won a Cup while they could. And the Penguins were dominant for a good decade or so. Now the Flyers though? They’re kinda fucked. At least Hextall is gone.
Jared McCann is more than a depth piece. Guy scored 40 goals this year
That's the problem, he never would've BEEN more than a depth piece in Pittsburgh.
Sullivan's too enamored with Rust and Zucker to even consider McCann in a top 6 role.
He isn't anymore. He was in Pittsburgh.
@@N_manMETA11It was the same problem with Bryce Hopkins this past college basketball season. He was barely used at Kentucky at all and then when he transferred to Providence, he was amazing. He went from averaging not even 3 PPG into averaging nearly 16-8-2 for the season. He was the main reason Providence was even near the NCAA Tournament to begin with. It’s an out there comparison but it kind of works because John Calipari also has a consistent problem of being too stubborn and loyal for his favorites rather than use the best players and rotations possible.
It pains me to know that a few years down the line the Lightning will have one of these videos...
That's a painful thing to know.
I think we all knew this would come out as soon as the Pens missed the playoffs
What scares me the most is this:
What if this was the final elite year you got our of your top 3 players? What if this was the final amazing season you got of of Crosby, Malkin, and Letang?
The Pens management and coaching wasted all of that this season, and while FSG did the right thing and purged the front office, I am beyond scared for the future of this team.
This was really needed. Thanks UTree. In the meantime, I need 2009, 2016, and 2017 as my drugs of choice during this awful time.
If it is, they should've thought of that last offseason.
Maybe Zucker signs at 1/3 of his current price and Granlund becomes a 60 point player again.
Although in a Mike Sullivan system... not likely.
@@N_manMETA11 I would like to think that Rakell would have a 60 point season.
Granlund? Can that mf crack 20 points let alone 60?
Down the stretch I went on a binge of rewatching all the Pens wins in those series. I could feel it coming
i cant believe we lett mcann , rodrigues, blueger, AND marino and matheson all walk. hextall gutted us
@@raradenims like Tree said, Hextall turned us into the Flyers 😡
This is honestly sad to me. I HATED the Pens when Crosby was first drafted. My fellow Buffalo fans called him the biggest purse swinger in the NHL.
This…this feels wrong. Seeing them miss the playoffs entirely. I feel the same about Buffalo making it to the final week before being eliminated.
Thanks Tree, as a Penguins fan you have no idea how much I needed this.
(He's also a Pens fan)
This one hurts I knew this type of video was coming I am forever grateful for my pens memories and everything 4 cup finals 3 cups back to back runs 5 eastern cup finals winter Classix had a new one this year and stadium series. Can’t forget about those.
Steelers: The cancer has been long since cleared away but are stuck in Hell unless Kenny Pickett takes a major leap in his second year.
Penguins: An effort to keep the good times rolling with the core results in a mess. They have to house clean and rebuild, and they cannot.
Pirates: Going retro with Andrew McCutchen makes them surprisingly good.
Pittsburgh Sports: Embrace the Chaos.
6:00 lmao the Toy Story 2 song
As a Capitals fan, I swear that The Capitals are in similar straits. Could I request a similar autopsy on The Caps?
It’s halfway through December 2023, the Pens are still trash, and Sully is still the coach. They also haven’t scored a PP goal in over thirty power plays.
As a lover of anything with penguins, I approve
Tree, as a Wings fan, I feel your pain. We could all see that it was time torebuild the team well before we finally missed the playoffs, but Holland was so helbent on continuing the playoff streak, that he was throwing money at aging players who were well past their prime, like Green, Nielsen, Ericsson, Abdelkader (who was never woth his contract to begin with), etc. which put us in the depths of cap hell. Hopefully whoever the Pens next gm will be can shed some cap space and get a rebuild going quickly for you guys. coming from experience, if you get too far into cap hell, it takes a long, long time to get out.
14:17 Well the Penguins went all in and got Erik Karlsson.
I can't wait for The Hater's Guide to the 2023/24 NHL Season
This is what we’ve been waiting for!
Hextall hated the Pens so much in his time at Philly that he infiltrated their organization to purposely tank them 😅😅
Don't forget that Tanev and McCann both had career seasons with the Kraken this year
The Caps and the Pens are big braining this year: Can't hilariously choke in the first round of the playoffs if you don't even make em!
Why does that Toy Story music fit so well 😂
The Ron Hextall hire made me laugh hysterically
That man has burned more bridges along I-76 than that coal fire has been imploding for a thousand years
@@MarloSoBalJr yes
Philadelphia Flyers fan:
Welcome to the club.
One of the most anticipated videos of the channel. Accurate.
I really enjoy U'Tree hockey content. Hopefully we get an updated version of "Half Century of Failure" when the Leaf's choke again 😊
Flyers need one first
Good news: The Leafs won a round
Bad News: They got nearly swept by the Florida Panthers
Nashville is almost a mirror image of Pittsburgh except not as long.
At least you brought the Capitals down with you.
Been both waiting and dreading this video. It's been a long time coming. I've been saying 'blow it up' since the Blackhawks loss but now I realize they can't. At least I'm an out of market fan so I can attempt to ignore the next few years.
Also I love the Sonic music you add to these vids! The boss music from Sonic Spinball is criminally underrated!
14:18 would trading a first round pick for Erik Karlsson count as insanely idiotic?
Yes.
As a rangers fan, thanks for losing 6-0 to us at the game I was at
“I still have no idea how they won the cup in 2017”
*I know he’s been retired for a few years, but is Pekka Rinne still too good right now?*
Absolutely loved this video, Tree. I really enjoy your NHL content and I appreciate you taking the time to talk about a less popular league. Hopefully the Pens management realizes they’ve got a lot of work to do to be competitive in the East. It’s a fucking bloodbath over there.
I don't think you mentioned how awful the Pens special teams were all season long. Case in point, the fact that the Pens gave up crucial shorthanded goals like they were Halloween candy all season long.
I honestly thought the team would blow it up after the results in 2019 and 2020. I was surprised they kept Sullivan and Rutherford around. I had doubted both of them at that point.
2021 came along and I thought that the team bounced back. Rutherford made the right moves that offseason and then resigned (which was much needed regardless of that offseason). The Penguins won their division and were looking great heading into the playoffs. I truly think that if Jarry didn't get in his head that year, Pittsburgh makes it to the ECF.
Unfortunately, Burke, Hextall, and Co. decided to ruin that exciting 2021 team and failed to address goaltending. Jarry and DeSmith were pretty good in 2021-22, but both got hurt at the worst time possible. I don't think they would've gone much farther than the first round last year though. New York was a fluke, you're right about that.
If they kept that 2021 team together instead of making some awful decisions, I wonder if the Penguins would still be doing damage. We had everything but goaltending and management did nothing about it. Ruin the defense and bottom six, but fail to address our biggest issue then. It sucks Malkin, Crosby, and Letang played well this season only to miss the playoffs altogether.
As a rangers fan it’s kind wild how Tom Wilson has broken like 4 teams’ brains during his career
At least Tree has the Pirates to look towards too.
Even when the Penguins lose
The Bluejackets do as well. We are GARBAGE! We get our first win since 2019 and ruin our chance of Bedard.
I just... I want to laugh at the Pens, but it isn't right with how we failed ourselves
I'm right there with you lol
Yeah I was asking for a legacy of failure video because of that one. And, of course, we beat the fucking Penguins to ruin the tank. Dunno how much more of this we can stomach.
Thank you Pens for Bill Guerin
His skill he honed under the Pens dynasty has helped him become one of the best GMs in hockey, reviving a dead Wild team to on the verge of breaking through
Only makes me wonder what if Jim Rutherford went out on top allowing Guerin to take control of the Pens
Its like Yzerman all over again with how Guerrin has impressively worked around the Parise and Suter contracts from Fletcher to still keep building a good team. The Pens are gonna be regretting that decision for years to come.....
Lmfao are you serious? He is holding them back if anything. He should have gotten rid of dumba and merrill and kept fiala. He should have never gotten fleury or made sure fleury starts in the playoffs. Evason last season said that they would play the hot hand going into the playoffs. Talbot his last 5 starts had an over .915 save percentage, fleury in his last 5 starts had a save percentage of about .884% if not less. Please, I have a hard time remembering, who started in the playoffs last season? Who was the one who made sure fleury still was the main guy all season despite having the 2nd best goalie statistically in the league? Oh yes. Guerin. And I won't be surprised if fleury starts one of the next couple of games despite gustavsson dominanting these playoffs. Only one goalie that started game 1 for all 16 playoff teams didn't start game 2. That was gustavsson. Don't use the whole "he was tired and needed a rest" excuse, oettinger played the next game and still played good. Guerin didn't bother asking parise and suter to waive their no movement clauses. We lost several guys just to keep dumba around. Dumba had his worst pro season in his career. Took a crap ton of penalties, didn't produce offensively, and surpressed his value so low that we didn't get any calls about him at the deadline. I won't be surprised either if guerin decides to keep dumba on and even gives him a pay raise. Guerin has said time and time again dumba is important to this team. Guerin wouldn't cough up 7.5 million for fiala because he had "only 3 good months of hockey" but then holds onto dumba to the point where we will lose him for literally nothing if he doesn't get resigned, while dumba hasn't played actual good hockey in 5 years. Also remember goligoski? Yeah signing him to a 2 year deal worth 2 million a year was totally smart. Goligoski was healthy scratched a lot this season, is like the 8th dman on the team, and we can't move the contract or buy it out due to him being over 35 years old. He 0aid goligoski an extra 4 million dollars for 2 months of good hockey and he was on the decline. Also how has rossi worked out? Horribly. 1 point in 22 or 23 career games. He played half of those games with boldy lol. Yes I have evidence that they did play on a line together with gaudreau being a part of the line. Boldy wasn't able to produce at all when they were on the ice together. Once rossi got sent back down, boldy started playing better. Guys who are younger who got drafted after him played way better with less ice time in fewer games played as well. He is just so bad.
@@qshot9848 lmfao yzerman wouldn't have been that stupid to buyout both suter and parise just to keep dumba. He doesn't mix business with personal life like guerin has with fleury. Yzerman would have been smart enough to ask to waive their no movement clauses so that way they could have been moved for a cheaper cap hit or they would have been exposed and with how much their contracts were they wouldn't have been taken anyways in the expansion draft. He would have had the balls to call them and ask them to actually come and talk to him before buying them out. Guerin called them on their cell phones to tell them over the phone they were being bought out. You don't do that to two guys who gave so much to the community and who loved this team. Parise would have definitely waived his no movement clause. Remember that people were all upset about fleury being moved by vegas and him finding out online, despite the fact the team had already told him that they were looking at possibly trading him to chicago a few weeks earlier. Suter and parise found out they were being bought out when someone called them to tell them guerin was trying to get ahold of them and that they were being bought out. Everyone attacked vegas for their treatment of fleury, but no one will criticize guerin for pulling the same shit but this time not even warning them they were being bought out and the reason why.
The Toy Story 2 music is just so fitting.
The best bit about this...'The Cleaner' from Toy Story 2. "You can't rush art."
Man, I miss those winning times with this Penguins team, oh well, it is what it is. At least, they won 3 cups in 16 seasons, with playoff hockey. I saw this coming from a mile way.
Holy mother of bandwagon, Batman!
As a wings fan. I am both giddy and also pray you don’t suffer the deluge of pain we have for the past half decade
As a pens fan. This is deserved. We are screwed for a while
I am ready for this video, I've been waiting for this for a long time. BRING ON THE SALT!!!
All this being said though, we did only miss the playoffs by one point. With a good new front office, get someone to replace Letang, and tighten up the goalie situation, I think we could easily get some depth in another playoff run. Crosby and Malkin are still doing well.
DKC music and Tree’s satirical yet honest commentary. Such an iconic duo.
Fun fact: Jim Rutherford wanted to do a rebuild (yeah, I know) after the 2017 cup run, but Lemieux refused. That’s when he tried to make these crazy moves with his picks.
What still pisses me off is them saying they didn't want to lose Tanev or McCann in the expansion draft so they traded McCann beforehand and ended up losing both of them. That move was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen but the explanation was even dumber. You can only lose one guy! Let Seattle take one of them and the other guy can stay! That's when I knew we were doomed.
Well done Ron Hextall. Finally he has his revenge on Pittsburgh.
10:48 I think Boston WISHED it was the Penguins who made it to the playoffs.
Was scrolling to see if something like this had been posted. Who knows what would have happened if the Pens made it.
BRO THAT MOVIE IS FUCKING CRAZY NO WAY YOU JUST REFERENCED MARCH KF THE PENGUINS when i was like 5 my mom would put it on to put us to sleep because it was really boring. wow memories unlocked
As a Sharks fan seeing that 3-1 leaves a bitter feeling in my mouth.
Crazy how many missed opportunities the Sharks endured from late 90s til recently.
Had that squad been an ounce of the Penguins, they'd win 4 Cups and rule the West for a decade
Still one of the best channels on CZcams
Cries in a 50 year cupless streak
I was at the first bruins penguins game at penguins, watching them blow a 5-2 lead will hold a special place in my heart
Yay, hockey videos again!
You should do a video of the rivalry between the avalanche and redwings. You probably could have a lot of fun with that.
They are either going to be the Red Wings 2.0 or they going to tease us and be much stronger than before
It's always a great day when Tree drops a video
Let’s face it, we all knew this video was coming
We needed to make this retooling way earlier, it's about time to get some young blood in the team.
Lol Teddy Blueger is a Stanley Cup champion and Kasperi Kapanen proved that that family is a Philly first family
I hardly know anything about hockey these days but I watch every single one of these videos. Tree always cracks me up. 😆
I was waiting for the Jason Zucker thoughts. He is an awesome dude off the ice, and has a lot of potential on the ice. One of my favorite players when he was on the Wild. If he moves I hope it’s to a team that can make a run next year.
He's had an excellent season. The Pens paid way too much for him, but he finally managed to stay healthy and thrive.
Sad thing is that he's probably priced himself off the team because of it. He'll get paid.
