Canucks are out of the playoffs....
/end thread imo

Kinda lame though piling on to a 5 goal lead. I wanted the caps to pile on at some point but once they started crosby sucks chants, i just sat back and enjoyed the route.
Love it. I didn't think the pens would blow them out like they did though.
Onto the next victim.
I bet 3 people at work that the Pens would win tonight. Sadly they arent very ballin and would only do $5 each.
/End pathetic brag.
Suck it Trabek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was so depressed about the Canucks the entire day on Tuesday :( I'd prematurely cancelled work and a birthday dinner that was supposed to happen on Thursday too, lol.
The Carolina/Boston overtime was awesome. Boston losing destroyed my playoff pool though. I had predicted a Detroit vs Chicago Western final, at least, so I still have players there!

No way.
Pens/Hawks is going 6 if not 7 games imo.
Detroit is probably going to make them all look bad....again...
Pens take game two. Malkin brought his A-game to the party. Pens lead series 2-0. The next game should be pretty fierce as they try to make a comeback.
GO PENS!!!
the pens would lose to detroit. But this year it'll atleast be fun.Quote:

Not really a rivalry that gets my blood pounding (Like Detroit and chicago...Hate them). Kind of a been there done that. I know pens fans prolly think different, and we still need to win another game anyway.
I'd have rather had a team I dislike playing the Wings, so I guess I lost that with boston and the rangers.
you'll hate the pens by game 3, im sure.
crosby's a whiny bitch who's cuddled by the refs. malkin is so ugly you just want to punch him square in the face hoping to fix it. Fleury "the flower"... who the fck takes the nickname the flower?! His big square white teeth grinning wide will be the script of your nightmares night in and out. etc etc.
K
Wings and pens.
I now officially hate the pens til they lose the series. (Then they'll just be another road bump again)
LOL Americans.Quote:

awesome game, sick bounces but it was pretty obvious detriot was the better team. If we arent gonna figure them out, we dont deserve to win.
Pittsburgh will win a couple, but Detroit will win in 6!
And WTF you guys like Bob Cole? lol
Yes hes a legend and has been calling big games since i was a kid.Quote:

Watching these games sober is a lot more unerring than when sufficiently socially lubricated.
I don't need that. I know the dude he means. I need colloquialisms and sage oldetimey wisdom.Quote:

Game 2 obsevations.
Refs let a lot go both ways. At first I was thinking biasly, and thought they weren't calling several things I saw. But it went both ways.
It was definately clear to me that maybe the Wings should be called "The Big Red Machine". No matter what line, or who has the puck, they make it look too easy at times.
pens seemed to get a lot of rushes going that just never materialized into anything.
After all the years here, I think Osgood is playing at maybe his highest level ever. Never thought I'd say that he's been a real difference maker in tons of games during these playoffs.
No problem with malkin going after Zetterberg at the end. too bad he didn't have the sack to do it earlier, but he knows he had to be on the ice. So that's smart of him.
But leading at Hank with the stick up around is head is, not going to say punk, but definately bush league. For goodness sake! Don't lead with your stick up high. Payback for that can be huge.
pens should come out gangbusters in game 3, but if they get behind, they could be cooked.
Well when you have Sedin, Sedin, and Sundin on your team, it becomes an issue when he's pronouncing "Sedin" as "Sundin" :(Quote:

My acute penguins memory is just constantly remembering the slash that lead to the second goal and the no call on the penalty shot when the puck landed on osgoods back.
The games are frustrating because we've been in opportunities 3 or 4 times already where I cant believe we dont score and the red wings have had 3 or 4 goals already where they got "luckier bounces"
It's not fun when their team rocks and gets help from the hockey gods.
Also malkin fighting at the end was the best because i wanted him to break zetterberg.
Wow so the only reason Bob Cole hasn't been fired yet is because he is a legend back east? Can't you guys see that he is the worst announcer in sports?Quote:

ahhh thank you JL. I guess only Vancouverites realize he's god awful.
What fucking bullshit by the NHL.
I'm calling it. Pens in 6.
I'm thinking we're 60/40 at home, 20/80 on the road, but we've bucked all that negative variance out in those first two games. Time to roll, baby!
I thought you were a philadelphia fan?
i'm an eagles/phillies fan, and a pens fan. i was raised that way, fwiw. courtiedonk can back me up.
bigred is already busting my balls about this. :( though he thinks i'm only cheering for front runners, and my defense is, I cheered for the Eagles and Phillies between 1990 and 2001, minus '93 there was jack shit there in terms of worthwhile deep runs.
i hated the flyers, and lindros, hence why i never cheered for them, and still don't.
i never watch basketball, so f the sixers.
Maybe I'll just pick and choose from my area's frontrunners, it all makes sense now. My grandparent's live in Tampa, which is in Florida. Therefore I'm a huge magic fan...You're losing to the Wings anyway.

just got home in time to see the empty netter.
GG pens.
Was it a good game? or what? gonn ahave to watch the replays I guess. sux
no big deal, pens just taught the wings how to play hockey.
lol. I figured they'd come out good.
But can they sustain it? we'll see.
glgl
you and your internet shorthand... I wanna see what letter combos express losing a sure-thing in 6!
Finally watched Game 3 late last night on DVR. very exciting game! Hockey is good for the soul.
wings in 6 ldo
Go Pens!!! Down 1-2 in the series but playing good. If they can win tonight it will get real fun and interesting. Det is tough and also playing well but the pens just didn't get the puck to bounce there way the first couple of games.
i hope the red wings took good notes. I was hoping for a challenge.
Pens WIN!!! Great game. It now a best of 3 series and I like the pens chances. The are diff playing better the det right now. Will be a tough game in Det but pens are hot and on a roll.
sighhhh
2nd game in a row I totally had to miss. Oh well. lucky we are busy at work I guess.
I wouldn't count the Wings out yet. They aren't the capitals.
ya caps would atleast take this one 7 games burnnnn
pens in 6!
So much for pens in 6 :)
Don't tug on supermans cape, etc etc lol
BTW, after seeing him do it more than once now.
malkin may be a heck of a player. ( he really is good, even in my eyes.)
But he's a punk. For goodness sake. sack up and go at people from the front at least.
Ugh. Game five was a train wreak! Still like the pens chances. There playing at home so that should give them the edge. Should be a tough game.
If they won game 5 I really believe they would have finished it off at home.
Hard to admit this as a Wings fan.Quote:

What I saw was a good game. (missed 1st)
The pens played a Wings type game a lot. Blocking a lot of shots and passes and generally disrupting the rythm of the play. I was especially impressed with what I saw of the pens forchecking. Thought they did that about as well as you can, and I'm sure that's a part of why the Wings rushes were ofetn broken.
Game 7 should be another great one.
I meant pens in game 6. Malkin isnt better than Crosby. I dont understand the people who say he is. He still rocks, he's still Geno, and I would not mind having him over Crosby.Quote:

It all ends tonight. I want triple overtime and a shootout please, with whipped-cream and a cherry.
And... wtf: Hockey in June?
I want it 3-1 Pens with the last Pens goal an empty netter in the final 2 minutes.
