You can still yell at the TV fyi...

 

What a game last night. Congrats to the Pens but I am most impressed with Anderson's play really. He has improved a lot since the few years he played in Colorado.

 

we had so many chances and bad bounces, one finally went in. unreal. should be a great finals.

This, so much this.... In the end, it was a great game and a great result. Ottawa was a tough opponent, but in the end the better team won!

 

Great to see Kuny be the Game 7 hero, that guy plays with so much heart

Pittsburgh definitely road on Murrays back last night. I don't really feel they deserved to win that game but stole it rather. They better step it up or I don't think they will have a chance.

 

Rinne is so elite, but he allows 4 goals on 9 shots

Pens definitely didn't play their best game, but the end result is what matters and that's 1 down and 3 more to go!

 

It was a nice comeback effort on Nashville's part, but yeah, hat's off to the penguins for sealing the deal.

 

I thought the Pens stole one. Didn't play a very good game but still won...which well, is important when going after the Cup...gotta have some luck to it. We'll see what happens in Game 2 but it's only a series when the home team loses one.

 

That's an understatement, the Pens didn't have a single shot on goal for 37 minutes. Rinne was easily the one to blame why the Preds lost.

 

I guess the consolation for the Preds is that they were down 3-0 after their no-name/name-brand goalie gave up a FG and still came back...WITHOUT their top offensive player in Ryan Jo. So, if the Pens continue to play like this in Game 2, Preds have a good shot at evening up the series...

Provided Rinne does not pull a Ben Scrivens.

 

 

 

Domcha must be lonely

Let's go preds tonight!!

 

I know the score is tied right now but if Pens keep playing like this, Nashville is lifting the Cup.

 

Nashville is on fire this year.

 

Nevermind...Pens clearly have an account on AZ.

Bye, Preds!

 

 

The Pens owned all but the first 5min of the first period and all the third period it seemed. Thought they were going go get beat in the 2nd period as they looked to have fallen back to playing like game 1 but Murray kept them in it. Overall much better game for Pittsburgh. I think if they play that way they will win again.

 

Matt Murray is amazing. Too bad that he isnt going to win the Conn Smythe trophy based on the number of games he started.

 

2 down, 2 more to go!

 

damn you preds you rickrolled me!

 

@ the bad-breath talk...

 

Penguins better wake up. They look lost at times. Malkin seems to have been shutdown by the Preds as well.

 

Haven't been much of a hockey watcher, but damn the playoffs/finals are exciting!

 

 

FINAL.

In hockey, it's the FINAL.





Okay. I'm good now. And yes, playoff hockey is THE best in all pro-sports. Even if the officiating is often horrid.

 

Oh, it's been horrid, or non-existent.... I feel like Nashville is trying to figure out how many times a game they can run our goalie in the head and get away with it...

 

touchdown pittsburgh!

We will probably lose game 6 and score 1 goal... I predict 4-1 loss or 5-3 win

 

They defintely looked more like themselves in game 5. Hoping we can continue the tradition and win the cup on the road. My heart can't handle a third game 7 this season, as much as I'd love to be there to see them lift the cup in person...

 

Weirdest playoffs this year is the number of blowouts...

Still, it was interesting to see the Pens roar back like that and also interesting to see that Rinne has some mental block to playing in Pittsburgh.

Also interesting I guess is the number of games FOLLOWING a blowout...the losing team from the blowouts usually come back with a win. So, if that's the trend, I fully expect and hope this goes to Game 7. And for Game 7, I want it to go to quadruple OT.

And just for poops and giggles, I want the GWG to be some sorta interference-related or offside drama just because...it's the NHL.

 

You sir, are one sick bastard. You're determined to kill BlackAck aren't you?

 

Well, not intentionally. But, as a fan of the game and with no preference as to who wins the Cup, I just want to max out my entertainment value.


So, yeah...hopefully a Game 7 is forced and it is a 4-3 game that is decided in quadruple OT.

 

...with the GWG scored by the winning team on a controversial goal that is something along the lines of off-side and/or interference. I want at least a 20 minute delay of review.

 

Congrats Chris & Pens, I'll take the win via Sullivan & Hagelin.

 

There's the first repeat in this draconian cap era. Impressive.

Congrats to the Penguins.

 

Congrats to the Penguins!

For the second year in a row I don't agree with the MVP of the playoffs.

 

Congratulations to the Pens!
