True but the greatest US hockey team arrived at the start of the 1967 season the Pittsburgh Penguins

This I can state with absolutely certainty: the best thing about the Pittsburgh Penguins is their fans ... ONE IN PARTICULAR.

My Bruins have looked really good in their last two games. I am hopeful that the team is turning around from its bad start ... permanently.

Yeah Seguin is really coming into his own this year. Glad to see he got his first career hat trick over the weekend. I watched him for 2 years in the OHL and he should be a good one.

Not to mention that his hat trick was against the Leafs, who lost 7-0!

How so? Both Seguin and Kessel are still young and they are both playing very well. After that All-Star game snub(and the jackass Ovechkin taking the picture of him), Kessel's demeanor and play have totally changed. He is more of a complete player than he was before(shades of this were shown during the latter part of the season last year).

Kessel: 12G 12A +9

Seguin: 11G 9A +14

The only difference is that Kessel is playing on a team that doesn't have as much depth as Boston. If Toronto had a deeper team who knows how many points Kessel would have?

I think both teams did well with this trade. Neither team lost out, and both players are playing well. I am personally sick and tired of the whole Seguin/Kessel "who's better?" talk.

And who even knows if either player will be like this in the future? Either of them could get hurt and be a shadow of their former selves or they could pull a Yashin and have their game totally disappear! Heck, Jonathan Cheechoo had a 50 goal season, so I think no one can truly say anything definitive about this trade until both of their careers are finished.

Yes, Jen, your hug made all the difference ... especially for me.
