Funny, sort of, but a bit obsessive and definitely premature, but then again, Caps fans have to get their shots in before their inevitable collapse, I suppose.

I will say at least the Pens won a few games… and that was WITHOUT Malkin, Crosby, and Cooke! Pretty impressive they were even in the playoffs, actually.

But I don’t want to be a bad sport, so way to go, CAPS! Eastern Conference Champions!!! Raise that banner. (Now that Leonsis has made room by taking down the Washington Mystics’ attendance banners!)

You just lost another game, what happened? Sniff. Let’s discuss some more. No Stanley Cups ever? Whine. Whine. You lose then lose and you maybe win and might lose. Whine wa wa boo hoo. Next thing you know you’ll lose again and run and embrace Dan Snyder.

After seeing this on Yahoo (and all of the awful things anti-Penguins people posted to it), I thought checking this board would only be worse. But it wasn’t. 21 comments, and about 80% of them were completely civil and not outright bashing. As a Pens fan (that knew this was a satire), I feel like some parts of it were pretty painfully worded, and you could obviously see some of the bias. Loved the Cooke rap sheet though, with the “spa day” and “DVR” jokes. Though, on the other hand, concussions aren’t a laughing matter, and I really hope no Caps fan is serious about wishing that Crosby’s injury keeps him out of the sport, and worse, for the rest of his life.

And, the Pirates joke? Come on! Me and most of the city don’t even act like they exist anymore. Pirates games are a $5 way for me to go outside for 3 hours and hang out with friends and family.

But really, a decent piece, and if I wasn’t a big Pens fan, I probably could have enjoyed it a lot more. Whether I am reading the Lightning or Capitals eulogy soon, I know I will get a kick out of either. ThePensBlog will be writing some version of either, and I hope they at least have the same level of dignity your writer did, if not more.

I loved it. The amount of people who dont understand Puck Daddy’s eulogy’s is astounding. You cant help but laugh at all those who take it entirely too seriously.
So good work boys. And cheers to the Pens fans who are able to take a joke.

Dark Stranger: That was my fear. I’d rather us not get all cutesy over Pittsburgh’s early exit — especially when we haven’t had a lot of playoff success recently.

Very funny! Although now that we’re down 1 game to none to that Tampa team, I wonder about the timing of it.

Priceless. Spot on and pitch perfect. Cookie the Penguin even loved it; why do you think he was laughing?
