I think The Bruce just summed it up excellently.
Sometimes it's easier to play on the road. You go to the hotel, eat and stay focused on the game at hand. The Pens seemed focused.
If you're at home you're worrying about getting tickets for all your family, friends and their friends. Your focus isn't all there and that was apparent in this game.

Well, yes...The Penguins ROCKED THE RED out of the playoffs on their (The RED'S) home ice, in game 7, tonight. Short memory?
Enjoy your loss, tonight!

Well done BL. It's pointless with this......pezzo novante. He's the type of fan, that if "his" Whalers DO win tonight, will stick his chest out and brag and gloat about their "obvious" superiority over everything and everyone. His behavior proves the adage: "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.".

And yes, I am saying if it's not a team I like, I don't watch it

Elliot on DC 101 was talking about how fans were in their seats bawling after the Caps lost last night. I don't get it. I can understand being on the team and crying after your loss but I don't get how fans can be that wrapped up in it.
Hockey is a very intense sport to play and it is very intense for the fan, especially if you're at the game. I can understand some fans crying.

That sucks for everyone who paid hundreds of dollars for seats -- wasn't even a good game.

Probably because they paid 2k for their seat and realized the Caps crapped the bed last night.
We always have next year... they are a young team with good depth. Deja Vu, this is kinda like how I have felt the past few years about my beloved Redskins.

Those were the fans that lost money on the game

I see you're one of those fans who can't get over the whole "Whalers" thing.
The Hurricanes have already accomplished more than the Whalers ever did.Actually, if the Canes pull out a game 7 victory, I will consider them very lucky. Boston has been by far the best team in the East all year long, with maybe the exception of a couple weeks. I never really thought the Canes had much of a chance in this series, until the game 2 shutout. When they went up 3-1 in the series, I felt that if they didn't close it out by at least game 6, they'd be in trouble.
And now with a game 7 in Boston, I expect they'll probably lose. Then again, I don't think anybody expected the kind of game we saw last night, so you never know.
I'll switch over to the generic "Stanley Cup playoffs" thread for further discussion about this series. It's a bit off topic, here.
Caps had a great season. They're making that progression, and should be a contender next year if they can stiffen up on defense, and if Varly can make the transition to full time starter. He's the reason this series even made it to 7, in my opinion.

So were you a Hartford fan?

No, I started following the organization once they moved to Raleigh. I was living in NC when they moved, and had always been a hockey fan, growing up in Minnesota as a kid.
The North Stars were my favorite team until they moved. I half-heartedly followed Dallas in the west, but not with the same enthusiasm. Sort of picked up on Pittsburgh when I moved to North Carolina, just to have an eastern conference team to follow. Once the Hurricanes were "born", they instantly became my #1 team.

Yeah that..Gonna be fun over the next 5 or 6 yrs banging heads with the Pens for supremacy of the east. Both teams are young and talented.

No. I really couldn't care less about the Whalers. I call them the Whalers, just like the Twins and Rangers are both the Senators and the Ravens are the Browns. I still call the Colts the Colts though because they didn't change their name when they snuck away. None of the teams I mentioned moved because of a lack of support. They moved for sweetheart deals of some sort; whether it was free stadii, or no taxes, or in Calvin Griffith's case fewer negroes in Minneapolis/St Paul.
