NHL 2nd Round - In-Games

[tigercub]

People can complain about Sid all they want, but that he will stand on the doorstep and take that punishment to get those goals--particularly given his size--is what I want on my team all the time.

its funny, i usually hate the "faces of the league" type players, but i really like crosby. dont understand all the hate for him. i take him over malkin in a heart beat.

 

[Joe Public]

Oh, he got the puck.

 

[Joe Public]

That's a horrible call.

 

[tigercub]

oh man the guys name slips my mind, but the play by play guy for buffalo is one of my favs haha

Geno needs to up his game here in the playoffs. He does this and it drives me nuts, disappears at times in big situations.

I think people don't like Sid because his image is, or seems to be, so squeaky clean.

He's an institution, he may be a HOF broadcaster. I just don't like him.

 

[Joe Public]

OH, the breakaway and he missed.

F**k.

 

[tigercub]

wow, letang

 

[Joe Public]

Dammit, Letang you need to bury that.

 

[Joe Public]

More penalties coming.

Looks like this is how Washington is going to deal with the Pens' speed. Fine with me, as long as the Pens don't get baited into retaliating.

 

[tigercub]

pp for the pens coming up. lets make it a 2 for 2.

 

[tigercub]

woops 4 on 4 my bad.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

goals are being left on the ice already

 

[Joe Public]

I'm I the only one who feels like Ruslan Fedotenko is 50 years old?

 

[Joe Public]

goals are being left on the ice already

You're the one who wanted a 1-0 1st period.

Ooooh, PP Pens.

 

[Joe Public]

It's like Malkin looks to pass first in the playoffs. Which is good, sometimes, but not all the time.

 

[Joe Public]

You MUST score on a 5 on 3.

That is all.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

46 second 5 on 3

lets score 2 goals here

 

[tigercub]

refs on over lol?

 

[BetCrimes1984]

if there's no goals here, this isn't going Over

 

[Joe Public]

That save on Gonchar was sick.

 

[tigercub]

wow great play by gonchar to keep it in. then varlamov with filthy save after filthy save.

 

[Joe Public]

F**king Malkin.

 

[Joe Public]

This PP is still pissing me off.

 

[Joe Public]

No goals on that PP.

Really the robbery on the Gonchar shot by Varlamov was the goal.

 

[tigercub]

pitt blew their chance to open it up there

 

[Capt. Slap]

YOu guys fucked me over tellin me 5.5 was safe OVER

 

[Joe Public]

YOu guys fucked me over tellin me 5.5 was safe OVER

Nobody told you it was safe, but some--like me--think it's got a lot of legs.

After five minutes I thought this game had 6-5 written all over it. I still wouldn't be surprised to see 5-4. Lots of time left.

 

[tigercub]

YOu guys fucked me over tellin me 5.5 was safe OVER

long way to go slap. over is still in play. btw i recommended pitts team total over.

what'd you put in that parlay anyway? c's win tonight i think.

 

[Joe Public]

Caps have to feel really good getting out of that period only down 1-0.

 

[Joe Public]

Gurien says they can't rely on Sid and Geno every night, which is all the more true when Geno doesn't show up.

 

[tigercub]

ya no doubt joe. pitt must feel like they left a few out there. they should come out with some extra intensity to start the 2nd. first 5 mins will tell the story for pitt i think.

 

[Santacapper]

man alive what a couple of saves

 

[Joe Public]

I'm sitting here in my head thinking of who Malkin is starting to remind me of. I wanted to say Jagr, but that comparison doesn't work because Jagr was stronger and would show up in the post season.

Now I'm starting to think he reminds me of Federov a bit. Really strong in the regular season, but only occasionally brilliant in the playoffs.

I would expect Geno to have good games back home, but once again it seems like we're going through the 'coach ________ told Malkin not to press too much and just do what he does naturally' stories. Which means everybody knows Malkin's MIA and there's genuine concern about it.

 

[mogo]

you really have to credit the caps goalie for keeping them in this game.... Pens had quite a few really solid chances to score but varlamov came up big.... you really have to credit him for keeping them in this right now...

can he continue to do it though? i don't think so, i think he'll eventually let up ... the Pens need to keep shooting 15 times a period and they'll cash in soon... the floodgates will then be open!!!!

 

[Joe Public]

That's what they can do to you.

1-1.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

early goal, just what over needed, esp. from the team without one. makes the game a contest.

 

[Joe Public]

Man, he scored that short side, too.

 

[Santacapper]

bullet... good pace to open the period though

 

[Joe Public]

Need to respond, Pittsburgh.

Preferably sooner than later.

 

[Santacapper]

soon is good

 

[Joe Public]

S**t.

Delay of game.

PP Caps.

 

[Santacapper]

penalties are not... although

 

[Joe Public]

Woah, nice save.

 

[Capt. Slap]

long way to go slap. over is still in play. btw i recommended pitts team total over.

Sorry Joe and Tiger lol...I just got back from the pool after killing a 30 rack with some homies,

I just saw 1-0 after 1, see 1-1 now lets get 3-1 penguins after 2

 

[Joe Public]

Talbot just had a great penalty kill. Really good work.

 

[Santacapper]

that blocked shot has to hurt

 

[Joe Public]

lets get 3-1 penguins after 2

That's what I'm talkin' about.

=)

 

[BetCrimes1984]

8 PPs for 1 PP goal, just doesnt cut it for an Over

 

[Joe Public]

Good shot, Geno.

Just didn't get through, even though Varlamov thought it did.
