NHL '12 Playoffs |OT| "The Cup is our destiny this year."

You shouldn't EVER do a drop pass in your own end. Bench the guy for a period for doing that dumb shit. One would think after the tenth fancy move in his own zone that turns into a shot for the other team that he might, I dunno, move up to at least AHL level defensive knowledge.

smh

Don't watch many Canucks games eh? There's a lot of drop passes that take place in the defensive zone and it really helps the breakout unfortunately they sometimes fail just like every other type of pass.

I guess you didn't watch game 1

Passing behind you when you know there's a guy on the other team in the area is a bad move, period
 
Pens are gonna take a long look at themselves after this one. Who knows? Maybe this will become one of those famed road series'.
 
I think some hyperbole is fair unless you think we can rely on Tanev's glove hand going forward. Team is just making too many dumb mental errors.

Yeah, I'm just adding to what fixed said: It's definitely not a good idea when you already had 10 giveaways before and know the other team is paying attention and jumping on it, but generally it creates a lot of offence for us. Just now when we're wonky anyway they should definitely not do it.

Can't argue that, there was lots of good in that period which of bad turnovers. Somehow the stats show 3 GA and 3 TA for both teams though. Unfortunately only one of those matter right now.
 
So, if the Pens miraculously come back and win this series...do they take the Cup?

Not with that defense. If they play any other team with a solid D, they'll just fail again because instead of 6-5 games it'll be 1-4 games. (I'm thinking teams like Boston)


Bahaha Bruce Boudreau just casually made PJ Stock look like an idiot twice in one minute. Nice addition to the CBC team.


What'd he do? I don't watch intermission.
 
Wait, what? WTF happened here? :D

Henrik "shot" a puck at like 5km/h and Hansen just held his stick on the ice for 2 seconds waiting for the puck to get to him and then it somehow went past Quick. -shrug- I'll take it.
 
Uhm, I'm not sure the refs know this, but Raymond falls down all the time. No point in giving other players penalties if he falls, he falls everytime. by himself.
