Series Thread: Eastern Conference Finals: (2) Lightning vs (2) Penguins

[dash]

Hope you enjoy the game, pix. I will be looking for you in the crowd. But since I really have no idea what you look like, you can safely dismiss me when I say "I saw you on TV!".

Pix should make a sign like "What's all the SportsHoopla about Phil?"

Dangit. We should have had a sign contest for her.


I feel like I have wasted my week.

"I enjoy the SportsHoopla DALEY!"

We now know where Phil got his dog breath from.

Pens need to clean it up a in the second. Not crisp, and the Lightning took full advantage.

 

[Comeds]

Just Letang being Letang.

 

[Darkstone42]

Malkin has been terrible tonight. Every time he touched the puck on that powerplay, he turned it over. We obviously need more from him, but he really needs to at least not be a negative.

Yeah looks like he quit on the game. Not only has he been bad with the puck, he has no hussle.

I don't think bad covers how he's been with the puck. It wasn't just on that powerplay, he's been slow making decisions, the puck isn't coming off his stick with any pace, he's just not Geno.

LOL...as Milbury just said pitch a hissy fit.

Oh I agree the whole game he has been off. Very questionable decisions across the board for him.

 

[obxyankeefan]

I hate just giving a game away in the playoffs.

 

[thedddd]

Hey Malkin nice to wake up now.

 

[Darkstone42]

Oh, hi, Geno. We've missed you.

 

[Darkstone42]

Oh, well, things have gotten interesting, haven't they?

 

[thedddd]

Yeah it just took 50 minutes.

 

[Darkstone42]

They probably should have tried that scoring goals thing earlier in the game.

Hashtag analysis.

 

[thedddd]

The only positive is the fact they ended strong hopefully they come out flying next game.

 

[Comeds]

The next game should be interesting. The Lightning won but the 3rd belonged to the Pens. Both teams will probably feel pretty confident.

 

[Dacks]

Pens played their worst 40 minutes of the post season and Tampa made them pay. Thankfully their third gives me confidence going forward. It will hurt missing Daley but if we can win against the Caps without Letang, we can beat Tampa without Daley.

Just Letang being Letang.

Letang has avoided being Letang for most of the playoffs but regressed yesterday.

Malkin has been terrible tonight. Every time he touched the puck on that powerplay, he turned it over. We obviously need more from him, but he really needs to at least not be a negative.

Until his goal in the third, he was making the wrong decision on seemingly every play. Looked like he was asleep.

The words running through my head after two weren't pretty...nothing like a stressful flight, many dollars, and little sleep spent to watch your team not show up. Unfortunate too, because holy crap were there Pens fans there. Like 20-25% I'd wager.
