Penguins in three :shifty:

 

[PP]

Does the delay hurt the Penguins? I know it helps the Bruins as Chara has been a workhorse and could use the rest. No chance this doesn't go 7. Bruins in 7.

 

[killgod]

rest is good. it's the playoffs, errybody is tired.

media morons will make it so that whoever wins game 1 was aided by the rest, where as the loser was hurt by the rest.

 

[wr50l]

This is such a tossup, so I will back the Bruins to look smart. Vokoun will have to be superb, as Boston are not going to fall apart defensively like New York and Ottawa did.

With Lucic back to his top form as the most dominant and nasty power forward in the league, this Boston team is a lot more like the North East division winning, top seed contending team that they should have been.

Good win by the B's. They weathered the storm the Penguins brought early, mostly because Tukka was rock solid. It is scary how Pitt can carry play at times and everytime they get on the PP they look so dangerous. Matt Cooke is a piece of shit still. McQuaid didn't do himself any favors in the way he put himself in a bad position. I think the penalty should have been just 4 or 5 and didn't need the game misconduct. Vokoun looked shaky at times for sure but besides the first goal he played pretty solid. Does Crosby bitch and cry like this all the time? It was kind of embarrassing actually. For all the talk that Crosby is the best player in the world I feel like Malkin is/played much better and is more dangerous with the puck.

 

[Ravin]

Malkin just owning the fuck out of Bergeron

Crosby crying lol. Typical Boston fan. The guy is up against Chara, getting in his face, but that is crying. How original.

Fuck McQuaid, and not just because he is from Boston, but more because I hate players who do that shit. This is where I wish the NHL would come in and say "if you put yourself in the position, there isn't much we can do." Cooke was two strides away from him with McQuaid's shoulder in proper position. Then the little bitch turns and Cooke because of his name gets kicked. The hit on Neal should have been a 5 if that is the way they are calling that shit.

I'm already sick of listening to the Fluery/Vokoun debate for game 2. How the fuck do Canucks fans put up with that shit all season long.

Penguins needed a game like this though. They really didn't have any against New York or Ottawa. Boston plays a good collapse game, so that will be something they will have to overcome.


And what a beauty playoff beard by Jagr.

Firstthere was a referee between Crosby & Chara.second, Crosby was b******* to the referees the whole night.

 

[Ravin]

He's the captain, he's suppose to talk to the ref. Plus there was a ton of blown calls in that game, even you can't deny that. The pick Marchand set on Letang for that breakaway was a huge penalty that got missed, and the hit from behind was a miss. Marchand should have had about 7-10mins in PIM's but he got what, 2?

There was a ref between every player fighting, that is the point, to break them up. I won't deny Crosby use to be a whiny player, as it has been well documented in books, including Kerry Frasers book. But that was years ago. Mostly now people just bring it up because they have nothing else to say about him. He basically is just like Matt Cooke in that sense. He could change his image 3 times over and still someone would see him talking to a ref and they would say he is crying to them.

There are a ton of missed calls every hockey game. If they called everything there would a powerplay every second. Are you denying Crosby wasn't crying to the official? What about after his slash on Seguin. He couldn't believe he was called. Fuck Crosby he is a bitch and the B's are gonna take it to these frauds.

Brad Marchand plays for the bruins. Please cease discussion about cry baby players. K thnx.

No shit there are missed calls, but ones that were so obvious like the Marchand pick on letang not being called is disgusting.

[wr50l]

Got to believe Pittsburgh will get it done tonight. I think a 4-2 home win is on the cards.

 

[wr50l]

"Norris finalist" Letang with the beautiful turnover and the Pens are down 2-0. The hype for this auxiliary forward is sickening.

 

[PP]

goalie issues :shrug:

 

[wr50l]

Marchand scoring a goal and then trolling Matt Cooke is brilliant television.

 

[Ravin]

I said to my landlord at the start of the game, either Pittsburgh comes out firing or Boston is going to score a bunch. There is going to be no middle ground in the first period.
