It's boredom, and it's being spoiled.  The Arena'sbeen as quiet as a church on many nights this year; too many of us justtake winning for granted.  It's been seemingly forever since the teamlost, and we've forgotten what it's like to feel real excitement andsurprise at victory.While I'm glad to have the Pens doing so well, in some ways it was a betterhigh back when the Pens beat the Bruins two years ago, and the Rangers lastyear. Too much of a good thing is not always good for you.rick
