That powerplay looked great. I thought we were going to score three times on it.

Well, I missed the first half of the period...but we got done pretty quickly, so I'm happy. Asham is a postseason BEAST!

The thing I don't like about these type of games is you can dominate the entire game, but if you don't put it out of reach you're doing yourself no good. This is the type of game that if we had our superstars (really, either one) it could be a blow out. Of course, who wants a blow out after watching the LAK/SJS game?

Tampa is just so quiet. They were last game too.

Kovy is buying in to the system...and I love it. I haven't seen him work like this in years.

That was pretty weak. But all three goaltender interference calls have been.

Neal even tried to get out of the way. I don't see how you can call that interference.
And he got a roughing call if the graphic's right.

I just can't believe how soft these calls are in the freaking PLAYOFFS.

Meh... Neal didn't try that hard. I understand why they made that call.
Can't understand the cross-checking on Asham earlier though. Even the Vinny hold was pretty ticky-tack.
You guys are probably watching the Pittsburgh feed, but I'm on CBC, and those announcers are really pro-Tampa. I thought the Pens D made two great plays on those two semi-breakaways, and they thought both should be a penalty. WTF? They also thought there was no contact on the Kovy high-stick.... it's annoying.
I also heard them say at one point that Pittsburgh is "due for a penalty". That's what's wrong with hockey (well, one of them). You're never DUE for a penalty. I'd love to see more 6-0 , 7-0 games (in terms of powerplay opportunities), if it's merited. There's no rule, or logical reason, why both teams should get the same amount of opportunities.
