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

[Wingingit]

Call me crazy, but Brian Dumoulin is the best defenseman on the Penguins.

Hey Crazy,

Dumoulin might be the best D-man on the Pens squad, in case you didn't notice.

Bonino and Lovejoy really wanted it to go down to wire.

Can't wait until Monday!

 

[elocomotive]

Congrats, Penguins fans!

 

[Wingingit]

Oh my God, we're going to the Stanley Cup finals.

This is awesome.

Based on the teams play mid-season, who would of thunked-it? Enjoy!!

Did he just reference Josef Melichar and Dennis Bonvie?

 

[Dacks]

Congrats, Penguins fans!

I really appreciated you cheering for us throughout the series!

On a related note... Eat a bag of dicks with fucking French fries on it.

Eloco busted his slump. Look out for the Caps next year.

quickly followed by "You gonna finish that?"

I kid, I kid.

Letang has the most ability, and the higher ceiling, but Dumo is sooooooo consistent and level headed. Just makes the right play again and again.

Okay Pittsburghers - where can I buy tickets? When do they go on sale? Best to go through the Penguins website?

Ticketmaster is best, keep your ear to the ground for when they go on sale intially. But I've found ticketmaster resale to be much better than stubhub. Gonna go camping?

Unfortunately none of the Pittsburgh games are on a weekend. I'm thinking of targeting Game 5, but I assume they don't go on sale until the Pens win a game? I've got a two year old and my wife's a doctor, so coordinating time off / babysitting to get down midweek will be a little rough. But I'll try!

 

[elocomotive]

Seriously though...to the many of you Pens' fans I've chatted with over the years - Dacks, Dare, Pix, Dstone and many others. You guys are good eggs and I wish you well in the Stanley Cup Finals. Cheers!

Also, too nervous to post in here during the game, but my thoughts:

- Rust and Murray were the heroes. Murray is ice cold. That's his greatest attribute, and for a goalie, that's huge. The anti-Fleury.
- Thought Crosby and Malkin both looked phenomenal.
- Pens thoroughly carried the play, but it doesn't seem to phase Tampa. That's their game, and they can score out of nothing.
- Murray's save on Stammer was the highlight of the night IMO.

Can't believe after the start of this season we're going back to the final!

Even if I don't go to a game, I just might need to get myself up there within the next 2 weeks. Take in some Arts Festival and SCF buzz.

The Penguins are now 21-6 with Justin Schultz in the lineup.
Scary isn't it.
