Series Thread: Second Round: Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Washington Capitals

[forty_three]

It'll be a tough call between benching him and Kuhnhakl when Hagelin is ready to go.

I thought I heard Pierre say that Sully chewed Wilson and Kuhnackl both out on the bench earlier in the game (first maybe?). Haven't noticed Kuhnackl looking awful, but that was flat out pathetic of Wilson to let that pass get made with no challenge whatsoever. Sully should beat his ass.



Okay, Wilson appears to have gotten the message. Nice look for Bonino.

Kuhnhakl isn't very fast, and he's flubbed the puck several times tonight. It's not so much the making mistakes, it's that he's just not as talented as Wilson to my eye. But he's playing a cleaner defensive game right now for sure, despite his inadequacies.

In other news, did someone feed Williams cocaine before this game? He's been at least a little crazy.

He has been a little crazy.

Meanwhile, Tommy Wilson has played an excellent game. Do we have some kind of body switch 90s movie situation going on here?

I wish I was familiar enough with those films to make a clever reply, but I don't.

It's first down for the Redskins on the Steelers 1 yard line.

Why the fuck did the ref blow the whistle there? And how is that not a delay of game?

Holy crazy-ass shit there, Batman!

Wait, I've got one!

This week, Freaky Friday happened on a Thursday!

It was under bodies, but I don't think any player ever truly covered it, hence no delay of game and continued play.

Doc needs a drink of water after that sequence.

Clarification: The whistle should not have been blown. I forgot to mention that.

Well, good game Pens' fans. Not really upset or nervous. We keep playing like we did tonight and we're going to do well in this series.

 

[Darkstone42]

Oh thank God, we survived.

And now onto the postgame show where despite playing with more intensity and physical play, we'll hear Mike Milbury criticized Ovechkin and co. about something inane.

 

[Darkstone42]

Caps outplayed the Pens down the stretch, but Bonino in the playoffs is a force to be reckoned with.

Good game, eloco and ritari.

Hopefully, the Pens get Hagelin back before the next game. They need his speed.

Dear Andre Burakovsky... You've had so many chances, bury one, dude.

You guys fucked up... you didn't give us a series lead.
