Series Thread: 2nd Round: Pittsburgh Penguins vs Washington Capitals

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Olli Maatta was straight tonight

Play Justin Schultz instead of Olli the next game, Maatta has been our weakest link in the playoffs.

Caps have been way dirtier than us tonight, yet they have 4 power plays & we only have 2

Come on now, can't complain about that since you are a Pens fan.

I think we can, considering the type of penalties they ignored on the Caps & called everything we did.

Wilson with a late hit leading with the knee on Sheary = no call

Lovejoy with coincidental contact with Kuznetsov = penalty

WTF?

Oh I know but these are the Penguins the refs are always for them.

I'll say this, if we tighten up on defense & the refs call a fair game, I like our chances in game 2.

Oh yeah, less sloppy play and truthfully if all 4 lines show up they will be good.
The top line outside of Sheary wasn't that good along with the 4th line.

Yeah, Sid was crap tonight. Had 3 good chances that he whiffed on.

Wilson should suspended for game 2 IMO. That was clearly knee on knee.

Have a good evening. Tomorrow I will have to figure out who the heck the Steelers drafted, I know nothing about that DB.

I doubt he will be. He tried to take the Penguins spark plug out of the series, too bad for him he didn't. Lets hope they make it pay for it by winning.

Kind of funny how Mike Milbury is saying Tom Wilson shouldn't be suspended, yet he cried about Ulf Sumuelsson doing the same to Cam Neely for about 25 years now.

Worth noting: we lost game 1 in 1991, 1992, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2001, & 2009. Only time the Caps won the series was in 1994.

I feel good about the game tonight. Pens played well except for POS Maata...I've told you before he is shit...

The caps should be worried about their D...

And the refs suck as always

Wasn't a bad loss, some obvious things that we're fully capable of improving on. If the refs call the next game fairly, I like our chances.

Tough loss in first one since Pens seemed to have the better of it.

It happens Bolt, I personally thing there's a lot of room for improvement in game 2, so I like our chances

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

I expect Sid to make up for his lackluster performance in game 1 and be money in game 2...

In Sid I trust

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Sid in game 2...
2 goals
2 assists
+2 rating

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

As I recall, game 2 was where the Crosby vs Ovechkin really started living up to the hype...
Hopefully, we'll get the better of them this time
