Malkin sure backed down quickly from Jim Thornton there.

its Joe Thornton...and he would have destroyed Malkin.

Just the usual tease.

Had to use so much just to get back into it and had no gas left.

Game 2 though should feature the full adjustments as I said

 

[Wingingit]

Good win for the Pens

 

[juliansteed]

How was that not icing? Did the linesmen still think the Sharks were on the PP?

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Burns is stupid.

On a 6-4 that's when you gotta settle it down and set up a good shot. He just blindly shot it twice.

DeBoer is going to have to UNSCRATCH a few players

Nick Bonino had a great game, but his third period was outstanding.

Big Game 1 win! I think Pens deserved it, they carried the majority of the play.

Don't understand how they can't see and solve their obvious powerplay issues.

Yeah I guess quit trying to make the fancy passes and put more on the net and let Hornqvist/Kunitz fight for the rebound?

Also they need to stop making the end of the games interesting, tonight with Lovejoys penalty!

Bonino > Kesler.

too lazy to find the proper thread for that

Salllllllltier than a saltine truck crashing into a sardine stand by the Dead Sea.

Pens were resilient after a poor second period. They owned play in 1st/3rd though. Even strength 58% possession in 1st (33% 2nd...lets ignore that one), and 64% 3rd. Bueno. Now be ready for a the second period Sharks to appear in the first on Wednesday.

Sounds like Rust is gonna miss game 2. Sully said day to day, upper body. So head injury.

Marleau should get a game. Unnecessary hit definitely A head shot caused an injury . Pretty dirty hit imo

It's very similar to the Letang hit, which got him a game. Difference being that was because of being late, this one is a headshot. I don't expect him to get a suspension, although I feel a game is fair. The Letang hit was suspended because of the context of the series, IMO.
