4 Pittsburgh Penguins v. 5 Tampa Bay Lightning Series Thread

[evolver115]

Through three games of this series, Tampa has scored 7 times. 4 on the powerplay, one empty net and two even strength.

Pittsburgh would be wise to keep Tampa off the freaking powerplay.

Especially with taking stupid penalties ala Mike Rupp in the 3rd last game. It would also help if the refs didn't call goalie interference when a guy is cross-checked into the crease. The Pens have actually been very disciplined...the PK really misses Coooke.

Retro look, maybe a picture of Ben Franklin for the Lightning?

Modern day Ben Franklin uses hockey stick instead of kite:

Well, looks like we don't need to worry about Stamkos tonight. It appears as though he got struck by lightning.

Also, apparently there's a religious cult for which the initiation is getting struck by lightning. I just thought I'd share that with you.

That's a religion I could live with.

And only one of those was 5-on-5, and needed a complete whiff on the puck by Paul Martin.

Stay out of the box, boys!

LETS GO PENS! Gameeee time. I have to go around 8 to take care of some business sadly, hopefully it occurs mostly over a break (probably being too hopeful there).

If the first period starts around 7:10, you'll have the first intermission start around the 8:00 timeframe...you might luck out.

Big Dog is in, and up with Testy and Kovy. Hmm. Neal moved to line with Staal and TK (good idea IMO).

 

[pixburgher66]

Sure Tampa, now you get on the bandwagon and tell the fans to sing along. Just kidding. AMERICA RULES!

This guy is like the operatic version of Christina Agulera.

wow...save the insults for the Lightning fans posting in this thread.

um.............

 

[pixburgher66]

With Staal and Neal together, someone has to get in front of the net. That's a lot of size on one line.

 

[dare2be]

'Gradi making his presence known already...

 

[pixburgher66]

Geez Bergenheim...softie.

 

[dare2be]

THAT WAS A CROSSCHECK??

 

[dare2be]

so much for staying out of the box...looks like we won't have much control in that regard.

 

[pixburgher66]

Wow refs. I'd be pissed if I were Vinny getting that called. Yikes.

 

[dare2be]

turkey's on the table...let's just hope it's not undercooked.

 

[dare2be]

so the message is sent that a lot of ticky tack calls will be made
