Horrible showing by the Penguins today. Looked good early but couldn't get one past Roloson. Fleury was awful and Johnson just went through the motions when he came in.

Fun fact: Dan Blysma is now 0-5 in series-clinching games at home. That's crazy in my mind.

Not too worried going into Game 6 though.

I agree with all this. Also I'm sure we will hear about how Fleury always bounces back after having a terrible game.

Please.
You are a moron.
This has been a great series and both teams are playing great.
Maybe when your team makes the playoffs or does anything, then you can call my team shitty.
I'm not complaining about the loss tonight, Thomas robbed Gionta.

To say the Canadiens are just a goalie is so stupid, it's beyond ridiculous. Hell, the team is playing without its top two defencemen and forcing a rookie to play 30 minutes a game.

Cammalleri, Plekanic, Gionta, Subban, (soon Eller), this is not a shitty team by any stretch - something I suspect every Boston fans would agree with.

lol @ not a shitty team.

One of the lowest goals for totals in the entire conference, lack of size up front. Aging defense (who addmittitly I like but they are getting old and slow) lack of depth in terms of offensive production. Rely on the goalie to save their ass year after year. Lack of organization depth with really little to no prospects in the system.

Smoke and mirrors imo. Price didn't play well and this team is lower then the leafs and devils in the standings easily.

I will add there was an article in the hockey news basically speaking about the same thing and how they should of learned their lesson from last year.

Wake up.

And to go ahead and piss of the canadien moron a little more.

The canadiens have looked like utter shit in this series. The only reason they won the first 2 games was because the bruins lost it. Bruins play their normal game in the first two games and this series is wrapped up either tonight or two nights ago.

Just admit it, you hate the Canadiens and it clouds your judgement.
I agree the Habs aren't perfect, they need more size.
But I really don't care how offensively prolific they are in the regular season. They get offense when it counts, the playoffs. You know, that time of year when your team isn't playing?

And should I apologize because my team has had great goaltending the past two years? Maybe if your GM wasn't busy giving dolts like Colton Orr contract extensiions, he'd find a goalie.

did anyone else just see Niitymaki just rob the fuck outta Doughty?

Dave, a Leafs fan is telling us the Habs suck LOL

Anyway....

Carey Price: "I thought we did everything we needed to do to win that hockey game. We deserved to win that one."

I agree with Carey. To be honest, I fell asleep at the start of the second period and woke up at the end of the third Lol... Oh well... Can't wait for Game 6 !!

Did everything needed except make that last save. Carey Price played pretty well but I still don't understand why the Bruins aren't crashing the net hard. When people crash the net hard Carey freaks out. and lol at him playing the puck and almost costing a goal. Anyways I can't wait for the Bruins to go up to Montreal and win game6 and watch as the fans riot as their team sees a nice playoff exit where they can't win 1 game at home.

Timmy's save in OT was great, as was Ryder's save in the first...

and how fitting for the Krecji/Lucic/Horton line to score the game-winner when they've really done nothing all series

[Tailback U]

Quick was sick last night. I think the Sharks put something like 53 shots on him and he gave up just 1. Awesome performance by him.

Ryders save was pretty sick. Flashed the glove.

Except offensively in the playoffs they rely on their top line to do all the scoring while the depth does shit, which is what I was talking about.

Its kinda funny how little you know about your own team let alone other teams. Toronto's goalie depth in terms of overal organization is probably top 10 in the league right now lol.

I could still rip out the old stat where in terms of the playoffs since 93 the leafs have more playoffs wins then the canadiens and that includes the leafs not making the playoffs over the last 6 years. You probably still think your team is some sort of journeyman team though.

Wow you can parrot what they said on TV last night. Impressive plagarism.

What are you talking about? I got a lot of how awesome thomas is and how lucic is in a slump. Pretty much the norm during most NESN broadcasts.

[Obst]

I'm still flipping shit.

wooooooooooooooooooo



finally the preds get out of the first round, theyve pissed away two chances before.
