Penguins have given up 44 goals in their last 10 playoff games.

M.A.F is the only reason this series wasn't a sweep for Pittsburgh by now...Never seen such brutal goaltending

With the Pens horrible team play, they still could have won this game had MAF not fucked it all up. I would be happy with TK as the starter. MAF is too inconsistent and never gets any better. He plays like a rookie. I am just sick over him right now. Bylsma pisses me off too. Lets not adjust to anything. Right Dan?

I am so fucking disgusted right now. I could fucking strangle somebody with my bare hands...

Serious question. Is Blysma's job secure if the Pens get bounced early this season?

I won't go that far...turnovers have made life horrific for MAF. STILL, there's no defending him right now.

For the record, I thought MAF sucked long before it was cool to think MAF sucked. Now it's not cool anymore. It's just like... sad... or something.

Can I give you Kevin Lowe's cell number?

Not if it's in the first. The Pens GEARED UP for this. The front office went all in, he's dead in water if they don't get to the ECF.

Fuck no, he is a terrible coach.

He is Einstein's definition of insanity.

Fuuuuuck no

Actually, Sergio usually scores a TON on Sundays.

Could go either way. I always consider "scoring" in golf going out and going low. It could go either way though based on your foursome and course of choice.

I agree about Bylsma though...awful coach. He won with Therrien's team and everyone thought he was a genius

Since this is hockey, I'd say no it's not. Coaching lives are short lived in the NHL. But MAF would probably take the fall first I would think (though I don't know how you move him).

100% correct, i have been saying that for 3 years now.

I know, I know. I just had to be a smart ass.

It could come down to MAF dooming this team. Who knows how Vokoun will do? It's a crap shoot at this point. If Vokoun starts next game, I'd imagine he is your starter for the remainder of the playoffs. What's his current contract?

 

[SFNL]

The more I think about how poorly everything was managed in this game, I thank my lucky stars this wasn't a game 7... That said, now we are closer to seeing a game 7.

Fuck everything.

A lot of people think this is why Hartzell was signed (in addition to Vokoun). It'd just be a tough time in the franchise to decide to get a new goalie. It'd open up some salary...*sigh* Can't believe we're discussing this. I have no confidence in the guy at this point. That 6th goal was just...there are no words. Luckily, I could see Vokoun actually having success here.
