Pens can't buy a goal. They're generating chances, but nothing's going in.

I'm sure Rask is in their heads to some extent, so they're trying to pick the corners a bit much, but it's getting beyond ridiculous....

Rask has made some dandy saves tonight, but the Penguins have also missed the net or failed to get their sticks to pucks with open space visible. They're not helping themselves by not converting.

I do think, however, if the Penguins get two quick ones at any point this series, that they'll take the series. When they're shooting with confidence, they score almost at will. If they never get two goals in a short span of time, however, even if they win a game or two, and even if they score three or four in a game, I don't think they stand a chance in the series.

The Pens will need at least a few lucky bounces, at some point, to push this to seven. They've had nothing through 3 2/3 games, so hopefully they're all saved up...

To give credit the the Bruins, almost no second chances.

I give a lot of that credit to Rask. It's not the saves necessarily which have made him so good this series, it's the rebound control and smart plays with the puck. If he can't absorb the rebound entirely, it's going to the corner.

Balls.

That's the series, I think. Rask is too on tonight.

it is slow.

Pens are gonna bring everything they got now

 

[Darkstone42]

Malkin keeps leaving those drop passes in the worst possible spots.

Time to give it all. Bylsma needs to have some kind of ace up his sleeve. So far it appears to be Iggy playing center with Morrow and Neal.

They better. If they just roll over now I could see some serious changes being made in the offseason.

 

[Darkstone42]

I don't think everything they've got is enough to beat Rask. He's playing perfect goaltending tonight.

That's been a huge mistake not having Iggy with Sid all series/playoffs IMO.

 

[elocomotive]

Pierre can't say Marchand and Doc thinks the Pen goalie's name is Thomas.

 

[elocomotive]

Asked after the game if he thought Tim Thomas would be coming back, Nathan Horton said "Who?"

 

[beantownmaniac]

Letang with a idiotic play at this time of the game. Make em pay Bruins!!!

 

[BlueWolfZero]

Same play as the Crosby trip but that gets called....
