4 Pittsburgh Penguins v. 5 Tampa Bay Lightning Series Thread

My Mom said it was bogus, but knowing it was goalie interference, that makes me mad. Offensive zone in the playoffs on a vet like Kovy? Geez, it probably happened really late in the period too, didn't it?

Bad call. Worse coverage on the PK. I'm hoping it pisses Kovy off.

Edited because I can occasionally speak English.

Pix, it was larceny I tell ya! Larceny

Malone return questionable with upperbody injury.

About 6 mins left in the period, yeah. I have to say though, if the Pens could actually capitalize on a PP when they get one, stuff like this wouldn't bite us quite as often. Here's to hoping they start the 2nd on the PP and make em pay!

 

[evolver115]

Come on boys, cash this in

 

[pixburgher66]

Oh, great. A PP to gain momentum in the start of the period...

 

[pixburgher66]

Entry looks good.

 

[joe_baran]

I'm definitely liking the patience some of them are showing by not being rushed into bad passes. It's a sign of some progress at least.

 

[joe_baran]

I think they need to get back to banging some bodies. Make the Bolts pay for every touch of the puck.

 

[pixburgher66]

Buccos up 8-1. Wowzers. Good...I hate the Reds.

I like the hitting, but in game 2 they got too much into taking the body and not playing the puck. As long as they're sound defensively, hit away.

The Penguins' powerplay looked great. They just need to convert now.

And yes, the Buccos look great, who, by the way, Loki, I'm not even thinking .500, I'm just looking for 75 wins...

 

[Darkstone42]

What a hit by Rupp! And that defensive play by Michalek on Downie was great.

 

[joe_baran]

I usually ignore a lot of what Errey says, but I thought his comparison of Michalek to a vaccuum cleaner... "... he just cleans up messes ..." was pretty funny.

He looks so awkward when he's out there, but it gets the job done, that's for sure.

 

[Darkstone42]

The Penguins need to get a goal here to reward them for what has been a really incredible effort in this period.

 

[GagneFire12]

Egads, looks like a couple of suspensions will be handed out after this tilt.

 

[Darkstone42]

Random thought that occurred to me:

1-3-1 is a palindrome.

That is all.

Kunitz definitely should be, but I'm not sure Downie's was more than just a 2-minute charge.

 

[pixburgher66]

Conner is really ticking them off. I love it.
