Two things:
Thank God Bishops not been playing so far.
And Kessel is a beast right now. He wants it bad.

Not to mention Malkin royally shitting the bed right now. He's trying to do too much and its constantly not working. Missed passes, turnovers, wide open shots not taken, he is killing them right now. All he has to do is be him and not try to be Crosby. He needs to power in, and shoot. Trying way too hard. Kessel is easily the Conn Smythe for this team right now. He's all over the ice, and when he isn't scoring goals, he is creating chances and rebounds.

Malkin has been playing bad and he's getting the most favorable matchups against bottom pair defenders of the top three lines. In fairness to Malkin though,he has the worst wingers on the Pens of those top 3 lines, his linemates are nowhere near Crosby or Kessels. Probably why he's trying to do so much

Probably why he's trying to do so much My issue with Geno is that yeah his wingers may not be the best, the guy is taking the puck into the zone by himself and then decides to pass to an opposing team player or through ridiculous traffic. I just wish he would shoot. He cant score if he doesn't shoot.

If we weren't up 2-1 going into this "game" I would be in panic mode, but it's just one game, and we won't be down in the series no matter how bad this ass beating ends up being. So, I'm still not worried.
Just don't lose Sunday, especially with HBK there.

I've never seen more hate for one player than I'm seeing on some of the Pens pages for Murray as he's been benched for Flower.
Forget that it's almost been Murray singlehandedly carrying the Pens to Game 5 of the ECF.
I hate sports fans.

Forget that it's almost been Murray singlehandedly carrying the Pens to Game 5 of the ECF. I hate sports fans. I will say as the playoffs go on, Murray has played a little worse. But he's young, and he's going to be inconsistent. But he's the main reason the Pens got past Washington, and have had the best playoffs the team has had in like 7 years. He doesn't lose his cool when he lets in a goal, even if it's a bad one, and that's the good thing he has that Fleury doesn't. But I guess when he's lights out he's amazing, and if he has a bad game, him, he's the reason we lost. These same people who are hating on Murray are going to be saying benching him was a mistake all along if Fleury shits the bed Let us also ignore the fact that even more than goaltending, the loss of Daley is why the Penguins will be losing to Tampa. Without him moving the puck back there the D is awful past Letang.

Wow, you learn something new everyday.

If so, I'm using it now

After the Hawks got bounced, I was just hoping the same would happen with the Predators & Blues. Now I can watch the remainder of the playoffs in peace.

I'm legitimately excited for the Sharks. First Cup ever. I really thought 08-12 were their shots and when they flailed in the second all those years I thought that was it until they rebuilt; see ya in a decade.
I obviously want the Pens to knock out the Lightning and get the Cup. Love or hate the Pens, absolutely no one can doubt that the Pens have earned a shot at the Cup as much as the Bolts and Sharks. But if the Pens lose to the Bolts...
I love Stammers. I love Bish. But I would LOVE to see the Sharks raise a Stanley Cup banner if the Pens can't raise it.

I'm happy that Big Joe is finally getting a chance at the Cup.

When your team is out of the running & there's no bias opinion, it's always awesome to see the guys like Thornton, who've been in the league forever, finally get a shot at a cup. I'll never forget how excited I was when Ray Bourque finally won a cup. Even with no horse in the race, I can't believe how excited I am for tonight's game 7. I went & got some steaks & beers, now I'm kicked back & enjoying the game.
