But the Wings owned you 3-1 baby!!!!

am I going to have to put you in a time out?

Don't think anyone has disputed Neal's actions.

Still doesn't change the fact what BD did.

Dubinski has clearly been given the role of "irritate the living shit out of 87/71". And he is playing it to a T.


By the way, I have noticed this game that on faceoffs, the Pens don't typically try to win it outright, they seem to tie up the opponent's stick and look to kick it back. More than half the faceoffs they've tried it. Have they been doing that all year? I've never noticed it before.

It's working. Jackets usually excel on the dot. Just wondering if this is just an "against the Jackets" tactic or not.

Yes. And a spanking.

I tried to pass the olive branch but...........

 

[higgyfan4]

Yes. And a spanking.

I somehow knew that was coming, lol.

I've only had this game on a bit, but is the secret really out? Getting under Sid and Malkin's skin is the key to success

Couldn't resist. Good to chat with you again Higgy

Is there any non-Pens fan NOT rooting for CBJ to win? Go Jackets!!

I think 43 said something about the game in here somewhere, but I can't find it.

Montreal gets a PP with 2 minutes left, color me shocked.

I just hate the entire state of Ohio, no offense. I am sure an Ohio State fan would say the same about Michigan.

Edit: Cedar Point is exempt.

 

[dare2be]

Now that you mention it, 43, yes, it does appear to be a tactic to "accidentally" lose the faceoff. Not just against one team.

Bob is keeping the ship afloat.

 

[J_E_T_S]

Wow, Pitt has the ice tilted

 

[postmaster]

wow, Pens need to cash in on those opportunities

 

[Gooch1034]

I cant help but like this Columbus team. If they win this series, I will be a CBJ fan as long as they are alive.

Brandon Sutter makes it 4-3 Penguins
