If Sid and Geno play like Sid and Geno can, screw the first goal curse, this series is over.

I honestly have no idea how I am in first in the draft challenge. Both Neal and Sharp were high picks for me and Sharp had nothing until his 1 goal last night.

Yeah, sharp was a complet no show against St. Louis. Maybe he finds more success in rd. 2.

TIL that Malkin still plays for the Pens. And, apparently, someone pissed in his corn flakes.

Jackets looked young out there. Just like in game 4.

C'mon boys. Just play your game. Nothing to lose.

Same with Kneel 2 of my top 4 picks.

Clean ice for :30 to open the second. That would put them right back into this one if they tally a powerplay goal.

Woohoo

 

[pixburgher66]

Wiz having a really rough night/series. And Sutter has been absolutely incredible all series.

 

[pixburgher66]

Sid hits the post. About sums his series up.

 

[postmaster]

Woohoo

Can they get to 4-0 and avoid the dreaded 3-1?

 

[pixburgher66]

They're absolutely swarming out there. DO. NOT. STOP. EVER.


Oh look, Dubinsky continuing to try to get Sid off his game. Valiant effort, but damn lucky that wasn't interference on him v. Sid. Puck was 5 seconds gone.

 

[postmaster]

If the Pens keep this up, I see hope against the Rangers (likely) or Flyers.

 

[pixburgher66]

The Jackets have laid about 3-4 hits way away from the puck...gotta be careful if they want to climb back into this game.

I think you got this unless there is a really drastic swing. Pens playing really good right now.

 

[pixburgher66]

Johnson lays out Sutter way late. Again, going to get caught.

 

[pixburgher66]

Haven't seen this good of cycling/possession from the Pens...I mean, probably not even this year.

 

[thedddd]

This might be the best game so far the Penguins have played in this series so far.

 

[pixburgher66]

That wasn't really boarding, by definition, was it? Hit him in the shoulder, fairly far from the boards. Need to watch a few more times.

 

[evolver115]

It was a board, I think. But it wasn't a 5 minute game misconduct, and they actually got it right.

 

[pixburgher66]

I can see calling roughing or maybe interference, but it was shoulder/side. Heck, Wiz was trying to shoulder into Glass it seemed.
