That sports phychologist fleury was seeing is going to get his money's worth in the next couple games

Not gonna lie. There are tears of joy over here.




To the good, knowledgeable Pens fans here, I feel for you. But I am not sorry. My GOD this city needed this. I just hope that Urban Meyer was watching our Amateur sport.

It's a big win, no doubt! congratulations



Saturday can't get here soon enough

NO need to feel sorry I am very glad the Jackets are having playoff success in terms of the NHL.

But I guess the Jackets got the best team to do it against and Fleury..... Like I said earlier I don't think he gets rattled much he is just stupid and does stupid/careless things while in net.

Typical Pens team, somehow they always play the most hungry, luckiest, darkhorse, etc team in the playoffs. Fucking lame ass effort for 40 minutes by this team, again. Gee Dan, Gee Sid, Gee Geno it would be nice if you showed up every once in a while.

Thanks...He is a comedy act in itself.

Lol. Well, if there was ever a chance of Fleury getting his mojo back, it's gone now. He'd been playing well, if not spectacular, all series, but that boneheaded play at the end if regulation has rattled him. There will be no recovery.

Pens went to Vokoun at this stage last year - they need to go to Zatkoff now. They play more responsibly with Zatkoff anyway, and it might finally put some desperation into their play.

Columbus will start feeling the pressure now too. They've played loose up to now but that will be difficult going forward. Happened to the NYI last year.

Oh and whatever you do - don't take a 3-1 lead!

I agree with most of this, but Zatkoff is a rookie and it's much different than Vokoun - you don't know how Zatkoff is going to react

More Wins. More Hugs.

Watching Fleury choke away a playoff game never gets old. Both the tying and winning goals were 100% his fault and easily preventable.

True, but I know how Fleury will, and it ends in a first round exit.

Trust me I wish I was wrong. Before the post season I was thinking the only way this team has a chance was is Fleury regained his mojo. And I don't think it's possible at this pond.

 

[element1286]

I don't see any upside in pulling Fleury, ride him the rest of the series, if he sucks, he needs to go, and so does Dan. If he bounces back, and they bounce back as a team re-evaluate.

And people wonder why we goalies are crazy.

Every single second of every single game, there is a hidden Gremlin waiting to bite you in the gentleman's sausage. He was very good all game. The tying goal was a fluke bounce and a metric assload of hustle by Man Child. And he was off by an inch on his lineup on the GWG. Even so, he got a pad on it. Just not enough. And inch over and that glances off the pad and into the corner.

 

[elocomotive]

Vokoun?

 

[tsawchuk]

I was pretty happy with that one.

I will buy you lunch any day of the week for that.

I will buy you lunch any day of the week for that.

Can we start tomorrow?

Vokoun?

 

[pixburgher66]

Guys...they're not pulling MAF because a puck bounced over his stick with 20 seconds left in the game.

Vokoun?

So, you're ok with the game winning goal?
