4 Pittsburgh Penguins v. 5 Tampa Bay Lightning Series Thread

I hope this opens the Neal and Kovalev floodgates.

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.

Connor has been great the last two games. I want Tangradi in as well, but at this point I don't know who deserves to get bumped.

We have a very even four lines. It's both our curse and our saving grace right now.

victory rep all around!

Gosh there was good hockey tonight. I just watched the Neal goal at least 30 times. Great "Stunned" pics through out. I suppose I should attempt to sleep now.

 

[pixburgher66]

WBS tied up the series too! That's awesome considering they were down 2-0 and going on teh road.

 

[dare2be]

It's a great day for hockey!

OK, last comment on it:

LOL at the people comparing the Neal trade to the Poni trade. :P

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Earth to Guy Boucher your goalie made 50 saves & the team in front of him only had 31 shots. Sure he'd like to have the last one back, but not giving him props is total BULLSHIT on your part.

 

[pixburgher66]

Roloson is the only reason that game wasn't a blow out. The Pens dominanted the game, made one mistake, then waned off in the final 5 minutes or so. To not give Rolli credit would be absurd.

Good win Pens. Blowing the lead and then coming back to dominate both overtime sessions was fantastic. Tons of character.

I know I'm technically not making GDT's, just posting the hockey preview, but this makes 6 times in a row that I've either made a thread, or added the info in the series thread, and the Pens have gone on to win

Everyone praises my GDT's, thats what I do, I just copy and paste and then spruce it up a little.

After bringing home the win at the game in Tampa Monday night, I'm glad my having to shave on Wednesday had no ill effects...but it was close.

I just let the folks on the Disney Penguins board have it for being so down on Neal. Right before he scored the winner, one poster called him "worthless."

Freaking box score heroes.

Anyway, I wrote an extensive analysis of what he's brought to the table and why his goals are down and why it shouldn't concern anyone.

Neal... no one deserved to score more than him.. He's been working hard and getting the chances but not having any luck.. that goal had 'luck' written all over it. Apparently he is a streaky scorer and hopefully this kicks off his streak, no better way than double OT gwg.

Lovejoy... I ragged him earlier in the year, but his play is much better. His first few steps could still be quicker as well as some decisions... but his body.stick work is good(no penalties) and he boxes out pretty good, he never gives up and understands the system. But why I bring him up.. he is my favorite interview to listen to... the way he carries himself, very genuine... I dig it.

Niskanen... is he a better #5 the Gogo (not player, but #5)

Kovy... already waving an off-season bye. Never liked his game. Doesn't fit with the Pens. He'll score some goals though.

St.Louis... they need to put penguins on the Endangered Species list and arrest this guy because he is a Penguin killer.

Malone... is there a tougher dude in sports?

Moore... this dude... this dude.... this dude again... is a pest.

Rereading what I wrote, I can see how it seemed like a legit question, but it was just my 'clever' attepmt of drawing attention to him... because I think it's pretty cool he travels with the team and being so excited... I wanted people to notice him, not just focus on the players...
