I was getting a Klondike bar out of the freezer when we scored

Never discount the value of a good change up.

Feel bad for Roloson though. Played so well and to let that one in.

WTF were you thinking?!!?

I made my gf cut her dump short when the second OT started. Need complete focus in this house.

 

[Dacks]

St-Louis and Roloson should have been 1st and 2nd stars.

I was thinking I eat when I'm nervous, and the Pens always score when I step away from the TV...no need to thank me now.

Everyone and their brother is going nuts about how they "called that." Easiest called shot ever. The guy works his butt off every game and was completely snake bit. Those are the guys that get rewarded on the big stage.

Great battle by the Penguins and Lightning tonight. That was just a great game.

 

[dare2be]

Pens...53 SOG...24 more blocked shots

 

[pixburgher66]

It's gonna be hard for Danny B to take Tangradi out of the lineup. He did great tonight, led the team in hits and was the screen on TKs goal, great backchecking as well.

Yeah but I called Neal AND Roloson... both were equally responsible for that goal

 

[Dacks]

It's easy to say now the Pens have won, but can I reiterate how much I LOVE PLAYOFF HOCKEY?!?!?!

Seriously, no movie, TV show or videogame will ever get me so engrosed / stressed out as an intense playoff game, especially OT.

I like Tangradi's game a lot more than Connor's. I just think he brings more to the table than Connor, especially if he's playing with confidence. Better shot, bigger hitter, stronger on the puck, and about a wash on the backchecking. I would put Tangradi on that third line win.

Honestly, everyone seems to know their role on this team and is playing it as designed. I haven't seen this team more focused than they have been recently. They have a system and are comfortable in it.

 

[dare2be]

Crap won

 

[pixburgher66]

The system is the reason why we even got into the playoffs. It gives these guys confidence, and it's safe to say more than half the team is playing beyond their potential. It's truly amazing to watch.

Crap won

It was incredibly anti-climatic.
