Personally, I think it's a near universal hate of the Pens that drives that narrative.

Ok you're blameless for your whiny posts

Pretty funny that you question those PP's. What part of those weren't penalties?

Hoping for a insane game 7 triple OT myself.

Congrats to the Predators on the win. They deserved that one also.
Game 5 will be huge for all the reasons the Predators wanted and the Penguins didn't.

Lots of hospital visits in both cities.

Hey man, we all have our moments, if you think my posts are mostly whining, fine.

Another solid game from the Predators and Rinne is once again almost perfect.

I am too, actually... I mean, I won't complain if the Pens win the next two in a blowout (maybe Rinne finds his Game 1 form) but I'd love to see my team in a Game 7 overtime for the cup. When was the last time you hat happened?

Pens must find a way to get through the neutral zone and possess the pick in Nashville's end.

For you Predators fans, the neutral zone is the space on the frozen water between those two blue ish lines, and the Nashville end is where the man with the big pads and the picture of the cat on his shirt stands for the whole game.

Probably need it so Kunitz shows up to play again.

I'd prefer a season ending triple in game 6.

Yeah some of those passes were just pathetic.

Sure the Penguins winning it in Nashville sounds good.

Pens don't have that "go for the jugular" instinct this season. They let both the Senators and Capitals back into those series. They look exhausted. The one hopeful aspect that is that they've usually played well once the series is tied up. Game 5 will be really telling how much they have in the bank.

That isn't exactly the scenario I had in mind.

Very true. You see it with Malkin especially, it is sad he could be the best player on the ice but we haven't seen it at all this series, he has Kovalevittis to the extreme.

Blasphemy

Also for looking exhausted, their defense is done. Shultz, Daley, Maatta and Hainsey all look slow and are getting lazy with the puck in their own end. Doumolin and Cole are the only two with anything left but they aren't much better.
