Series Thread: Round 2: (2) Pittsburgh v. (1) Washington

Head shots should be treated like PED suspensions in MLB - three strikes and you're out. First infraction is half a season suspension plus any playoffs; second is full season plus any playoffs and third is lifetime. That will get the players to shape up.

Lol

Caps controlling play, but not the scoreboard.

It seems like this whole period has been played in the Pittsburgh defensive zone.

 

[elocomotive]

Just not our night tonight.

Of course these can be appealed.

Honestly can't stand the Pittsburgh fans at the games. Bronx chanting the goalie after a 1-on-1. Quiet as a church most of the time for a blue collar town. Just awful fans.

I do love visiting Pittsburgh though. I'm average looking in DC. In Pittsburgh, I'm like a model.

Fuck Pittsburgh. Fuck their spoiled fans.

 

[pixburgher66]

Pens look pretttttty awful.

Consol is...blah. Also, this guy is from Pittsburgh, so it's not all bad.

If the Caps cant make a game out of this, Letang better be ready to get slapped around.

 

[Dacks]

Pens look pretttttty awful.

It's like Saturday swapped, except somehow we're scoring more goals.

Lies! All lies!

We're like 90 seconds in and nothing has changed...can't play another twenty like this. Caps are too good.

Yes... however would you hold a 3-goal lead...

 

[dare2be]

3-0 is the most dangerous lead in hockey.

I think they grew up in a league watching Scott Stevens, and now play in a league that doesn't have the backbone to really take it out of the game.

If hits like those regularly got 5+ games (regardless of injury) with increasing lengths, players would figure it out really quick.

There were far worse players than Scott Stevens stevens played with an edge. But he was not dirty. Dale Hunter,Chris Simon, Matt Cooke was worse with as far as dirty hits. Forwards need to take some responsibility too skate with your head up. Im not excusing dirty hits the Orpick hit was bad. But you cant expect defensemen to let forwards walk in the zone because their head is down and on the puck instead of the ice. Fundamentals
