Penguins v. Islanders Round 1 Series Thread

Grats on the series win Pens fans....Gonna have to play better in the next round or Ottawa will hand you your lunch

I have one thing to say (until I say something else, that is).

Thank God that's over.

Got that right!

Man the Isles played a hell of a series and in reality outplayed the Pens in 4 of the 6 games.

All I have to say is the East better watch out for the Isles next year if they keep this up.

thing is, although Pens were massively outplayed through a LOT of this series, I don't see the Sens giving them the matchup and scheme issues that the Isles did.

I do think the Penguins have gotten past the team against whom, at least style-wise, they match up most poorly. Unfortunately, I think Ottawa is second on that list for me, and they're our next draw.

something to build on for the Isles
put up a heck of a fight from bits of the series I got to see.

milbury : go back to fleury





jfc, no wonder you're in the booth

I don't ever want to see the Pens play a game 7 this year.

Same here. I hope they lose in 4 or 5

 

[puckhead]

Only if Nabokov finds a time machine.

And only if time machines make goalies better in the playoffs.

Don't worry, Isles will trade for Luongo in the summer.

I think fleury is back for game 1 against the Sens

 

[Dacks]

Woohooo!

Nice to know you can get massively outplayed in four games and still win two of them in OT!

Full credit to the Islanders - they outhustled (and outcoached) the Pens, probably deserved better, but such is life.

Don't think the Senators pose the same problems, but Penguins will still have to cut down on their turnovers if they want to advance to the conference final. Completely unacceptable. Malkin cost us Game 4 with a turnover, and Letang almost cost us tonight. Can't have your best players playing that casually. Hopefully this series was a wakeup call.

Sens are the same type of team the Islanders are...only they have a stud in goal and big D men.

They don't have anywhere near the speed the Islanders do, counterattack isn't nearly as lethal. Went to five Senators games this year, I've seen them plenty.

that's like saying that the 20th best sprinter in the world is the same type of runner as Usain Bolt.

The Sens play a similar style at times, but there is no way that overall they have the same team speed as the Isles--- and that speed is the biggest thing that gave the Pens problems

That might be a mistake...

That has to be a very bad wording choice right there...

 

[awaz]

Damnit.

Alright, go sens!

 

[dare2be]

Sorry to those wanting to see game 7 hockey. There are 2 other EC series that can still deliver for you.

 

[IPostedWhat]

and letang loses us the series....

Martin had a beast of a game tonight...1G 1A, over 30 minutes ice time, led team in blocked shots.
