Go Pens! End this annoying series.
(Yes, I expect my "point" total to drop!)
Haha just kidding. As a CBJ game, I'd naturally like to see this go to a game 7. Good luck to your team, sir.
Not game. Sorry for error
Game 7 would make for a hell of an exciting game and atmosphere...I'll take them winning it here and save me some years on my life, though!
I totally can understand that from your perspective
Pens are a shell of what thye used to be.
Malkin laughs at your assessment.
Go Columbus. Wings are out so now I'm just rooting against teams I hate. Dallas and St. Louis let me down already.
Not sure how well his algorithm holds for the NHL, but it is interesting all the same...
Team | Standing | Pred. Score | Pred. Win. Prob. |
Pittsburgh | # 6 (54-33) | 3 | 49% |
@ Columbus | # 10 (45-42) | 3 | 49% |
San Jose | # 5 (54-33) | 2 | 44% |
@ Los Angeles | # 9 (48-39) | 3 | 54% |
Colorado | # 4 (55-32) | 2 | 43% |
@ Minnesota | # 14 (45-42) | 3 | 55% |
Goal! Crosby "sucks so much" 3 guys went after him leaving Malk open across the ice.
Well Malkin is coming alive. God he's so fucking good.
Not sure I liked the penalty call but understand it's a borderline play and may have had to have been called. Good kill, but Sutter looks a bit shaken up with a lower body injury.
Hat trick!!!! Malkin!
Probably the best I've seen the Pens play in a few months, scary for the East (including Boston) if they put it together now
Crazy how good they are when they actually give a shit and don't expect teams to just bow down to them, eh?
Game 5 and this game has been the best they've played in a long time.
Le flower is unraveling lol
They weren't the same once Sutter and Vitale got hurt. They had to break up the Malkin/Crosby/Kunitz line.
This is delicious
My god, the pens are unraveling!
Not sure what the hell happened there...I come back from missing 5-10 minutes (saw the first goal, shorthanded) and it's 4-3. Damn. These guys need to start playing 60 minutes of eff'n hockey.
Wow, thought CBJ was going to tie that thing. Quite impressive effort from the team and the crowd.
And missed most of the CBJ-PIT game. Um...glad CBJ made it a game. Really. Great series between the two. CBJ will only get better under John Davidson (president of hockey operations) and I look forward to more succesful seasons. Good serried PIT and. We will see what happens in the playoffs for you
Yeah, hopefully Sutter and Vitale aren't seriously injured. If they miss the next yound Pittsburgh is in trouble regardless of if it is Philly or the Rangers.
CBJ showed heart, man. Gotta take pride in the first two playoff wins in franchise history.
As a wings fan, go Avs. I'll be pulling for them and Roy for the rest of the playoffs. I grew up appreciating and respecting Colorado for being that rival that was the most fierce in all of professional sports during 96-03. It was a great run for both teams that provided so many great memories.

Bigger headcase in the NHL than Marc Andre Fleury? Prolly not.

Come on. There is plenty of reason to criticize Fleury, but the way he closed out this series isn't one of them.

What a disaster going with Stalock. San Jose needed a win and Niemi should have been the guy.
I thought Stalock played really well. His team imploded around him after the second Kings goal. He could perhaps be blamed for the second goal that started the implosion, but it's a head scratcher as to why that wasn't blown dead.

It went through his legs and behind him into the crease. He never covered it.
He played well, but not good enough for a playoff game. Those weren't soft goals, but you don't advance in the playoffs without a goalie who can make those saves.
