Good lord, so how much Reign does Elliot get?

Game 1 love that pens thinks it's over...

I'm still looking for the sniper that took out Letang earlier.

My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family during what will likely be a significant recovery process with lengthy rehab.

If this game were close on the scoreboard at all, that kind of shit would be infuriating to me right now.

Just start by winning the 3rd. Game 2 will be a totally different game I expect.

what happened @Maverick426h ?

I'm being extremely sarcastic. He took a very obvious dive and was granted a power play for it. Pens scored at the very end of that power play.

So nothing has changed for the Pens all star dive team, eh? I was afraid about the whistles in this game. It sounds like they are not letting them play?

Did I just read the scoreboard correctly? Is it really 7-0? OMG.. wtf?

 

[awaz]

So it got worse after I said “it’s better than it looks”

Yes. It's hard to explain. Everything they do ends up in the back of our net. It's absolutely uncanny. Getting some very fortunate bounces, but also playing at another level skill-wise. It's that playoff experience.

It's probably more of a 5-3 game than 7-0. Absolutely nothing going our way on the scoreboard however. Murray stopped what probably should've been a few goals and Elliott choked.

I can only imagine what both Hextall and Hakstol's faces look about now? We better not get shutout.

Criesby is deflecting pucks all over the fucking place and they are deflecting to his stick blade while wide open too. Just nothing going our way, but also they are playing at another level we have yet to reach.

Lindblom took a vicious high stick from Maatta that would've been a four minute power play that was not called. Blood all over the place.

Just frustrating.

Hopefully this is the ugliest game we have in this series. Kind of a bummer. I guess if I am going to miss any games, this was a good one to miss.

 

[Maverick426h]

Lol We have four power plays and no shots at all during them.

Also, Gudas and Manning are going to get exposed all fucking series long. They look terrible.

That and our fourth line looks like our best line...Lol

Hak looks the same as always. Dude is a straight up statue on the bench.

Well. That was everything that could go wrong. Came out jittery. Bad goaltending performance. Took a handful of penalties. 1st line got overpowered. 2nd line was invisible. Crosby got his hat trick. Every bounce went the pens way.

Maybe they piled it all in to one game. Bad luck. Bad performance. Bad discipline.

Game 2 is Friday.

So fucking annoying to have to sit through it, but it is perhaps a lesson learned.

One team flipping a switch come playoff time and hitting another level as a whole while the other just stands still, in awe of what is happening or overwhelmed by the stage/moment.

I don't expect it to happen again, but we shall see.

That said, the score wasn't justified at all, but I think officially losing 0-7 can be embarrassing and drain your confidence level as well.

Well Game 2 will tell the real tale of this series, if we get beat down again I think we may get swept, I really hope this Kid Hart signs a pro deal next year and starts sharing time with Elliot, I don't blame him because it was just horrific all the way around, Here's to hoping for a 1-1 series After Friday heading home.

That was bad but not terrible. That game was a lot closer than 7-0. The play that changed that whole game from being a 6-5 shootout to a 7-0 shutout was Laughton missing that open net when it was 1-0. We tie it there and the crowd shuts up and the jitters are gone. This game should act as a wake up call to everyone.

Lucky this is not a one game series.

Elliot had a crappy game his first game back and rebounded with a lot of help from our team in the second game. Im hoping that is the case in game 2.
