Bolts; use lightning bolt to slay the Pen

Murray getting the start which is pretty much what I expected. Should be an interesting game.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Lightning need to take this home tonight. I don't know if Vasi's going to stand up to the pressure of a Game 7.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Hitchcock go with Elliott next game. He's won two Game 7's this playoffs, but is also 2-4 when their opponent is facing elimination.

Does Bishop slot back in if he's healthy and the Lightning win the series?

 

[Futureman]

I wouldn't be surprised if the Bolts have to pull Vassi tonight and put in Mister Kristers.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Elliott starts.

 

[MultiJhonny]

So the Flyers have a pretty good shot to win the SC still. I predict we get it in 6 games.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Does Bishop slot back in if he's healthy and the Lightning win the series?

Definitely. At his best he's still quite far ahead of Vasilevski.

 

[Futureman]

what about Mister Kristers? Is he any good?

 

[ZeroGravity]

what about Mister Kristers? Is he any good?

His performance in the AHL has been pretty underwhelming.

 

[Acid08]

So both the Blues and Pens decided to switch goalies back.

Can't think Elliot is too happy with Hitch.

 

[Alucard]

Really nervous about tonight, but I'd expect nothing less going into an elimination game with my fave team's heads on the chopping block.

Dwyer and O'Halloran are the refs tonight. Lightning are a combined 0-4 in the playoffs with games they officiated, the Penguins are 5-0.

Gary B is done being subtle, we NBA now.

I like these stats, but stranger things have already happened this series that have tossed out statistics.

 

[Futureman]

I'm gonna spit up all over my bib while mum and dada feed me mashed up peas and carrots if the Penguins don't win tonight.

I think I'm gonna have to miss the first period for a meeting... hopefully when I get out I check the score and Pens have a comfy lead.

Where's my blankie?

Yeah they repeated that line about the Penguins being 46-0 with the lead after 2 periods about 46 times last night. Anything can happen in the playoffs. Sure hoping we snap this ref streak too but we'd better be ready to play a near perfect game tonight.

Pavelski's big white stick blends in so much with the ice

Statistically speaking, statistics have been shown to be unreliable in this series. I think it's fair to say that we can no longer trust statistics, even the ones we like.

I see what you did there.

Found it funny when I stated earlier that both the Caps and Pens looked unimpressive in that series and some posters thought I was trolling. Far from it. Tampa has a much better team than both of them and the fact Pittsburgh is struggling against the Bolts without Bishop and Stamkos speaks volumes.

Looks like they gave an extra day off for each time the teams had to travel.

Hmm wonder how that's going to work with the SAP Center being all booked up in June.

 

[megachao24]

Penguins vs. Lightning, Game 6.

Close it out Bolts!

You weren't saying anything controversial. I picked Tampa, too. We were just laughing at the source.

Co-signed.

 

[Alucard]

Here we go. Let's go Pens. Win it and take it to seven. Show us the Vasi we saw flip out after being overrun.

 

[Alucard]

Remember, friends - it is always darkest before the dawn.

 

[Alucard]

Friends, the Penguins are in the eye of the storm tonight. Here we go.

Waiting for Pierre McGuire meltdown, lol

 

[ZeroGravity]

Already passing up shots.

 

[Line_HTX]

ROFL OPEN WIDE

What was Murray doing? Too easy for Drouin.

 

[MezzoForte]

goodness.

 

[Alucard]

Fuckity fuck. Dang.

 

[megachao24]

Drouin!

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Drooooouin

 

[ZeroGravity]

DROUINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

 

[DopeyFish]

fuck these offside challenges

 

[Alligatorjandro]

ugh

 

[Line_HTX]

The arena is playing LET IT BE.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Oh come on.

 

[Marvie_3]

Ugh. Offside

 

[kassatsu]

Looks offside

 

[megachao24]

Yup, that's getting called back...

 

[Alucard]

Hmm. Gonna be close.

 

[DrForester]

Come on, Penguins. I want game 7.

 

[MetatronM]

Even with Drouin's left skate in the air, his right skate looked like it was still on the blue line.


Also, the skate needing to be on the ice is a stupid rule when combined with these replays. If you're going to keep the offside challenge, make a change to make offside a "plane of the blue line" type thing.

 

[dr.rocktopus]

do you guys like offside reviews
