Pretty sure he will. Looked like it should be worth a game to me.

Rangers need a win tonight. The amount of turnovers and odd man rushes against them was inexcusable last game. If it wasn't for Henrik and his goalposts, the game would've been 4 or 5 to 1. Looks like the young team is nervous out there; they better shake it off and play some hockey.

As for the Habs/Bruins game, it was pretty boring in my opinion. Seems like the players are lacking that emotion out there; maybe it'll come back when they go back to Montreal for game 3. I thought Price was excellent, if they're going to win anything he has to be the MVP. Other than that, the team had a solid gameplan.

PS To Lucic, stick to hitting guys and scoring goals in front of the opposing net...your skating isn't good enough to bring it up the ice lol. And get back in the play after your giveaways!

Sure would love to see that... and a Pens loss! Ha!

Worst nightmare realized last night with Miller. Sounds like the Flyers really peppered him with shots (16 in the second period, 35 for the game) but he stood tall. Like I said, I hope Miller doesn't go Team USA on us, but damn it, sounds like he did. The good news is that if we keep firing, they'll have to go in some time. Right...?

At least Bobrovsky seems to have had a good first playoff game. Honestly, I'm not worried about him at all. He's got nothing to lose, really. Just go out there and play your game. People harp on the PHI goalie just to do it. You can't fault him when the team doesn't score a goal to back him up... geez.

Tonights predictions:

Pittsburgh takes 2-0 lead over Tampa
New York evens series 1-1 with Washington
Vancouver takes 2-0 lead over Chicago
Anaheim evens series 1-1 with Nashville

I hope not. I think Vancouver is going to win the series but I'd like Chicago to at least make it interesting. If they go down 2-0 it will be a quick series.

Tampa off to a fast start tonight, 3-0 lead at the end of the first.

Tampa Bay kicking *** tonight. An empty netter by Ohlund makes this a likely 5-1 win for the Bolts.

Re: The Official 2010-11 Stanley Cup Playoffs Talk Thread

this game was a perfect example of how bad the Pens are at making plays. passing etc terrible as usual.. Tampa wanted the Pens to get back in the game in the 2nd period, Pens were in the zone a ton, but just couldnt make the lil plays that teams need to make in those situations. missing the net etc, nobody in front, guys peeling off to the corners..

Tampas d-men have more puck moving skill then all of our forwards combined (besides Kovy).. its hilarious!!

with all that said, all that above is obvious to any Pens fan so to speak. but they came out of the gates flat, no energy etc. Kunitz, is he hurt again? he hasnt been himself past 2 weeks.

Martin and Z, hands down the worst game in a Pens jersey for both of them tonight.

Letang, did he know they had a game tonight? lol jesus, he was a train wreck. looked like someone just died in his family or something!!

great penalty at the end of the 2nd Orpik. had all day to move the puck, you waited until Stamkos (i think) gets in tight on ya, you cough it up, then all heck breaks loose and go to the box, then a goal 6 seconds later. they battled their butts off to get back in the game, and it all goes to waste in 6 seconds, boom 4-1!! ugh!!

but, this was expected to be a solid series, and its shaping up that way. i told the guy next to us, this had the same exact feeling as the 01 conference finals games 3 and 4 against the Devils, where they got shut out 3-0, then 5-0.. Grover then said the same thing on the post game show.. lmao..

they need to just go play 2 solid road games like they are capable of, steal a game at the least, if not get both.. hoping in the next day or so, Sid gets clearance and is able to play say in game 5 (wishful thinking eh? lol)

oh and the powerplay, 0-13, jesus lol. out of those 13, they had just 1 that was an actual powerplay. all the others, cant get shots through, when they do, miss the net by 8 feet, cant pass etc. Mike Lange commented on post game on how bad the Pens were 5 on 4 with making passes etc. first time i heard that from any of the Pens broadcasters all season. hello, Mike, they are even worse at it 5 on 5..

well deserved win by the Bolts!!

i still believe dang it!!

Let's Go Pens!!
