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

[pixburgher66]

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

It's like the Rangers series the past two years...

 

[elocomotive]

Jesus, Murray so out of position and Burakovsky couldn't put it home.

 

[elocomotive]

Wow, fucking bullet from OV.

 

[Dacks]

Well there's that out of the blue OV insanity. That over the shoulder bullet is tough to stop.

And just after the Pens couldn't even get a shot on the 3 on 1...

 

[scoutyjones2]

Crosby is shit

At least OV is showing up

 

[ckhokie]

Man this is goig to be a painful one to lose. By far the best effort from the Caps this series

 

[elocomotive]

Oh I would love to see fattie Phil Kessel fight Ovechkin.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Lies! All lies!

You shall not pass?

Unlucky 1st for the Caps.

Letang should have gotten a 5 min major at minimum. If Orpik took 3 games, he should take 1.

If Trotz thought the Pens got special treatment before this game, I can't wait to hear what he has to say about that only getting a 2 min minor.

 

[elocomotive]

OV has had a monster game in all regards.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Oh I would love to see fattie Phil Kessel fight Ovechkin.

It would be fatty vs. fatty.

 

[Dacks]

Well, that escalated quickly! Caps looked like the Prez trophy winners for the first time all series. You need some luck to win, and the Pens had the luck tonight.

If Trotz thought the Pens got special treatment before this game, I can't wait to hear what he has to say about that only getting a 2 min minor.

Orpik's only got a 2min minor, and the Wilson knee got zero. It will depend on the decision tomorrow, I think.

 

[elocomotive]

Pens... got... lucky.

 

[elocomotive]

So Letang is gone for 3 games now too, right?

 

[ckhokie]

If Trotz thought the Pens got special treatment before this game, I can't wait to hear what he has to say about that only getting a 2 min minor.

They deserve whatever he says. It clearly should have been a major, potentially a GM

 

[Dacks]

My very specific prediction for the rest of the series:

Pens steal Game 3 via Matt Murray
Caps tie Game 4 late only to lose a heartbreaker in OT
Game 5: Pens chase Holtby midway through the second period, a new chapter in Caps depressing history is writte.

One for one!

 

[Dacks]

So Letang is gone for 3 games now too, right?

Don't kid yourself. It's not as bad as Orpik's.

And Johanssen came back so.....

Millbury finally made me laugh after all these years...

Ian Cole... jeez

 

[ckhokie]

OV has had a monster game in all regards.

Pens fans may defend their guy, but I'm not sure how anyone would take Crosby on a team before OV

 

[ckhokie]

Don't kid yourself. It's not as bad as Orpik's.

And Johanssen came back so.....

So it should be at least 1?
