I agree that's the biggest issue Grimm, but being able to put the match ups they want against Sid and Geno even more easily isn't going to help the Pens. B's will be tough at home.

Sid did get clipped up high. Some embellishment, but hell near his jaw like that I'd go down quick too.

Who knew that the Pens would go down like such bitches?

Point was mostly just that it doesn't matter where they play if Boston keeps playing this good and my boys keep playing this bad. It could come in to play if things change, but that shit doesn't look likely right now. Leave me to wallow in sadness!

I can't imagine you guys not making adjustments and coming out playing better. I can't even specifically blame the goaltending tonight cause the D has been horrible. Honestly if no adjustments are made, Bylsma should worry about his job. Shero loaded up for this run, and not saying it hasn't been a decent playoffs already for the Pens, but falling on their faces like that in the ECF wouldn't be considered a successful season with this lineup.

Fleury with a .800% save rating.

I'm impressed

It will be like a slightly less funny version of when Hossa turned down more money to stay with the Pens and went to Detroit to win a cup, then lost in the finals to the Pens.

But...since Hossa won it with the Hawks the next year, doesn't Iginla's version become funnier since he has no Cup?

And now that he will win it this year, it seems like Hossa made some great decisions all around

I love Bylsma, and he's usually really good about making adjustments. Just from period to period even. But they come out of the turd that was the 2nd and 3rd of game one and pick up exactly where they left off to start game 2. Roster playing undisciplined and lazy from top to bottom is unacceptable.

Brosar don't tempt fate. Blues fans were feeling good about going against Quick after 2 games too.

I'll take that chance to crap on Penguins, their female captain and their cross eyed goalies.

If theres one good thing to come out of this series so far, it's that it is making the Rags look better. So there's that.

Game isn't over yet obviously, but if score holds and you had told me through 2 games in each series that Rask would have the fewest goals against of the 4 goalies, I would never have believed you.

Edit: Damn Sid and Geno combined -6 in the series.
