Joe Pesci Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 As much as I hate seeing the Pens going to 7 games with a trip to the Finals on the line, I also can't help but love it at the same time. This is what makes the NHL playoffs the hands-down best in all of sports imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altherion Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 The Pittsburgh-Ottawa game is awesome. It's rare to see double overtime in a Game 7 with a trip to the finals on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabronius Maximus Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 What a fantastic fucking hockey game. Hats off to the Pens and Sens for a titanic series. Now we've got a great matchup incoming. Awesome forwards v awesome defensemen. Elite goalie v elite goalie. In the words of Bart Scott, CAN'T WAIT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 A pity, I hoped for one Canadian team to win the Cup. Well, guess the Cup draught continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanteGabriel Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Good luck to the Preds. It's nice to be able to wish well to PK Subban now that he's not a fucking Hab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be one hell of a final, really looking forward to Monday night. And if there aren't any double OT thrillers aren't involved, I won't mind one bit...

Mark Antony Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I'm most interested to see which D pairs Lavy tries to match up against Malkin/Crosby respectively. I think he has to try and have Ekholm/Subban on against the Malkin line whenever he can. Fucking interesting matchup with each teams biggest strengths being the other teams most glaring weakness.

l2 0 5 5 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Pens let their foot off the gas in second. My first F U goes to Ron Hainsey. This dinosaur needs taken out to the pasture. And for FFS I don't understand the Scott Wilson love... Especially on the second line?! Are you kidding me?? Horny and Guentzel playing on bottom 6 opposed to this dude? My guess is that Hagelin is still fighting injury to not be in the lineup. Seems as if he rushed back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabronius Maximus Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I wouldn't be happy at all if I were a pens fan. The Preds just owned possession and probably should've won this one. The Preds will win the series if they keep up this level of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Tough one to swallow. Disallowed goal should have definitely stood. No way you can tell me that was conclusive. Really outplayed the Pens for pretty much the entirety of the 2nd and 3rd periods. Gotta put that one on Rinne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Terrible game from Rinne. You can't lose when your team only allows 10 shots and scores 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if I could trade games with the Preds I would right now, because woooooow that was a steal by the Penguins (and whichever deity they entered into a pact with). But breaking their 37m shot drought with a single, un-screened goal is insane. Rinne posting a ~0.5 save percentage is just beyond belief given that I'm pretty sure he was the favorite for the Conn Smythe. That's got to be out, now, because the luck on those bounces is... Yeah, I don't know what I just watched. The Predators should have crushed the Penguins in this game. Maybe their devious plan was to lull him to sleep. edit: For laugh's here's a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article from yesterday: http://www.post-gazette.com/sports/penguins/2017/05/28/Nashville-Predators-goalie-Pekka-Rinne-Penguins-stanley-cup-final/stories/201705280139 Even if he weren’t capable of routinely ending an offensive surge before it really begins, Rinne would represent a major threat to the Penguins chances of repeating as Cup champions. He has the best goals-against average (1.70) and save percentage (.941) of any goalie who has appeared in five or more games in these playoffs.
