Sorry about your team, Rounder. But, they are finished...completely unravelled...they may win one or two but there is no coming back from this deficit.
And they also have made @$$clowns of themselves and did no favours in trying to change the perception that they are dirty and crybabies.

And someone needs to tell Sid if he wants to fight and be the honorable player he is being marketed as: take off the freaking helmet/visor. It's not like Giroux is the second coming of Dave Semenko.

What a bizarre series. Can't believe how badly the Pens have completely fallen apart.

I really want to hear from the bulk of the analysts that pegged them to win it all. (not that they can't still do that)
Senior Moderator
I mean, look how good they played without Sid all year and so, you had the guy come back, you would expect them to be even better.
But, anyhow...that's why you play the game.

^^^Amazed that Carkner only got one game. Maybe a little old fashioned justice from John Scott after the suspension is served, maybe he can decide to "continue to inflict punishment" if Carkner is a "unwilling combatant."

BS suspension, if you look at all the other playoff discipline or lack thereof this last week.
Pens are done. This has been a nightmare. I don't really have any comments, our D is horrendous, no discipline, can't stop the cross ice passes for easy tap in goals... I could see 4 of those goals happen as soon as they crossed the blue, and sure enough, bang easy one timer because the pass gets across.
Asham probably gets 1 game. Neal, probably $2,500 fine, no suspension.
Flyers got under the Pens skin and this is what happens. They just have our number.

Once the Pens are out, this Cup run is wide open. Any team can win it because the best team on paper is out.

Oh yes...Sackless Sister Burrows goes and picks a fight with the Kings' best fighter: Kopitar.
Wow. What a piece of shit.

They spent several minutes discussing the Pens/Flyers game today and most are saying your team just are acting stupid and completely lost their brains. If the Flyers really wanted to, they would've gone headhunting on Sid.

Terrible, Kings. 0-6 on the PP...?

Can't believe the Pens are falling part so badly. Bet my dad is enjoying it as he is a big Flyers fan.

I don't think they should schedule their T-times yet. (although I'm not sad to see them go)
I could understand if there were a history of violence or he was someone that gets lots of penalties but neither apply and I agree 3 games is excessive, especially with Carkner getting one when both are applicable.
I get that Boyle was not hurt and Alfredsson was but come on.

These playoffs have been awesome!
President's Trophy winners down 0-3.
Predators up on the Red Wings.
Amazingly entertaining series between the Pens and Flyers (20 goals in 3 games!?)
All other series evenly matched up.

I'd enjoy the playoffs more if officiating was better and fair. Blind f@cks.
And even though I think Flyers are assholes, I'd love to see them knock a few teeth out from Cindy... He should quit the sport and start impersonating Freddie Mercury.

Do they make Neal walk out of the office and back in for his second meeting?

Neal's hearings focus on the hit against Sean Couturier in the third period, as well as the charging penalty he received for a hit on Claude Giroux later in the period. Neal was not penalized on the Couturier hit.

So, where's Waldorf today? He still comatose from the fact his team is 1 win away from sweeping the Prez Trophy winners?
Goes to show: The Prez Trophy is the poison pill.
And the Cansucks are reaping all the bad karma they generated with cheapshots, biting, hair-pulling, and kneeing of groins...

I wonder if Asham and Neal are getting fines or actually suspended for their despicable actions.
My bet: fines.

my friend actually called me sunday night to make sure I didn't kill myself last night.
re: Asham/Neal.
No way in HELL Neal gets suspended, if Weber didn't get suspended. Players didn't even get injured or miss a shift on those hits, and the Courturier hit wasn't dirty, just late.
Asham is fucked. I see 6-9 games. Match penalty is an attempt to injure. They will throw the book at him. Not our problem though, he won't be a Pen next season.

Been busy this weekend, first time I've touched a comp since Friday, Pens are playing right into the Flyers hands, responding to all the cheapshots, and retaliating when they shouldn't. Asham's hit was completely inexcusable. Been a tough series to watch thus far. The refs sure could have controlled the games a lot better than they did.
