Anaheim will be willing to accept Drouin's services for a pick

 

[Alucard]

Pens need to change something up soon if they hope to come back in this one.

 

[Alucard]

Did Healy just say Game of Thrones is one of the strangest books ever and then try to link it to this game being strange? Huh.

It's probably the only book he knows.

 

[TheExecutive]

Malkin and Crosby need to show up to play games here in order to make this an interesting series. I am still scratching my head how they beat the Caps without those two performing but it's only a matter of time until it stops them from winning games

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Drouin would've been nice to have in Montreal...


There's still time Bergevin

Make my Lehkonen Galchenyuk Drouin line become a reality.

 

[Acid08]

Pittsburgh crowd is terrible.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

so much scared

They won with their depth guys. Specifically, their third line.

Crosby and/or Malkin will definitely need to start scoring at some point again, though. This Tampa makes it tough with their ridiculous speed. They're playing the Pens' game better than the Pens right now.

Still holding on to hope that the Pens can win this one with a few flashes of skill and some luck.

 

[megachao24]

This is one dead crowd.

 

[megachao24]

Bad hit by Palat.

 

[Smiley90]

uh-oh

 

[Alucard]

Ugh. Tough hit to take. Damn.

If the Pens are gonna come back, it had to start on this PP.

 

[Velcro Fly]

2 minutes for that

fuck this shit

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Seriously? That's like a mirror image of the Callahan hit

 

[zroid]

this game is a bloodbath....

 

[CreeperBlocks]

AGAIN?

 

[opticalmace]

owwwwwwwwwwww.. hope he's okay.

 

[ZeroGravity]

That's not a dirty hit. Penalty, but not a dirty play.

 

[malfcn]

Doobie Doobie doo.

 

[TUSR]

What a call.

 

[Smiley90]

Seriously? That's like a mirror image of the Callahan hit

not at all, Callahan went elbow-first

this one's "better", but still bad

not a dirty hit per se, unfortunate though.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

That's not a dirty hit. Penalty, but not a dirty play.

How is that different from the Callahan? Pushes him in the numbers so he goes head first into the boards. That is absolutely dirty.

not at all, Callahan went elbow-first

this one's "better", but still bad

The elbow wasn't what made it bad.

 

[nubcake]

Apparently the Penguins strategy in this game is "hey I'm about to get hit into the boards,LET'S GO HEAD FIRST WOOOOOOOOO"

 

[ZeroGravity]

It wasn't even that hard a shove into the boards. Looked worse than it actually was because of the end result.

 

[opticalmace]

Apparently the Penguins strategy in this game is "hey I'm about to get hit into the boards,LET'S GO HEAD FIRST WOOOOOOOOO"

just no

 

[malfcn]

Kessel can't one time?

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Apparently the Penguins strategy in this game is "hey I'm about to get hit into the boards,LET'S GO HEAD FIRST WOOOOOOOOO"

Classy Tampa Bay fans.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Tampa vs Pittsburgh is like if Two Heels in WWE faced each other

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

This game is over, scoring on this PP was our last chance of coming back.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Tampa vs Pittsburgh is like if Two Heels in WWE faced each other

Penguins are well booked heels that can work. Tampa Bay is basically heel Ryback on a mission to botch and kill everyone

 

[Alucard]

Yikes. Tampa's defensive box on this kill is super tight. Impressive.

 

[Alucard]

Penguins look defeated and a bit lost. Gotta give credit to Tampa for keeping them away from prime scoring areas, though.

 

[malfcn]

These scrubs beat the Caps?

 

[Alucard]

These scrubs beat the Caps?

Caps are shit against the Penguins in the playoffs. This is just a law of nature.

This is also just game one.

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Fire Sullivan

 

[CreeperBlocks]

These scrubs beat the Caps?

Well... It was Washington, what'd you expect?

 

[malfcn]

I had faith in Holtbeast.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Woo

 

[megachao24]

Ugly game.

I expect the next one to be ugly as well.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Hate to overstate the importance of a Game 1...but yeah, we fucking needed that, Well done.

 

[Alucard]

Well played, Lightning. Now Sullivan gets tested.

 

[malfcn]

Flower next game?

 

[Marvie_3]

Good shit Tampa

 

[jello44]

All those empty seats in Pittsburgh with a minute left?

Wow.

I pay that much for ice level seats, I'm staying, win or lose, no matter the score.

But that's Penguins fans.

Good job Tampa, just three more.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Flower next game?

No

 

[nubcake]

Classy Tampa Bay fans.

OK, 2 people telling me no means it's probably the beer talking. I'll review these in the morning lol

 

[ryan299]

Flower next game?

Wasn't Murray's fault.

Not one line worked for the Pens and Sullivan didn't bother to change the lines. Crosby and Malkin have no wingers.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Crosby needs to step up next game, same with Malkin.

 

[jello44]

Crosby needs to step up next game, same with Malkin.

If by "step up", you mean, do exactly what they did in game 1, then yes, I agree.
