I didn't even know RC Cola still existed

I used to see it around in the 90s

No Martinez for the Kings tonight. Sounds like Gaborik is in though.

 

[MetatronM]

That was back to start the year though right? I figured the knee would have healed by now. I'm assuming something like that shouldn't need surgery. That injury still makes my knee hurt just thinking about it.

The 1-8 stat is interesting but I haven't seen us play consistently in the playoffs in 7 years so it should be interesting.

Kneecap injury happened in December. My understanding is that it's not really supposed to be fully healed until the offseason (since, you know, he's playing on it), but that playing on it wouldn't make the injury any worse than it already is.

 

[MetatronM]

Marc-Andre Fleury OUT. Evgeni Malkin IN. Rust also back for the Pens.

Zatkoff vs. Lundqvist, round 2.


Kreider-Stepan-Zuccarello
Miller-Brassard-Nash
E.Staal-Hayes-Fast
Glass-Moore-Stalberg

M.Staal-Klein
Yandle-McIlrath
Skjei-Boyle

Lundqvist

 

[Line_HTX]

The Kings better control the flow this time around and fucking stop being careless and stop shanking open nets. Here's to hoping they tie the series up and NOT go into OT. I want the Formula 1 broadcast to start on time at 12:30 AM.

 

[kassatsu]

Glad to see they didnt break up the Kessel line. Hopefully Malkin gives the PP some life.

 

[Alucard]

Ready to go. Let's do this thang, Pens.

 

[Alucard]

Jeff Jimerson: best in the biz.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Let's go Penguins.

Sorry Metatron

 

[zroid]

Well Malkin looks good

 

[MetatronM]

McIlrath going toe to toe with Malkin. Welcome to the playoffs, kid.

Interesting, I'd figured it'd be like a bone and useless reinjured it would heal within a couple months.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Zatkoff da god

 

[zroid]

That's one angry hobbit

 

[Alucard]

Zatkoff da god

Zatgod?
Godzoff?

 

[Line_HTX]

Zatgod?
Godzoff?

Jerkoff.

;P

 

[Alucard]

Malkin looks quite good in the super early going.

 

[MetatronM]

McIlrath looked a little nervous on his first shift, but since then he's been having a definite impact. Hope he can keep it up.

 

[zroid]

lolol that almost got ugly for Hank

 

[RedRum]

Hank scaring people.

 

[Yawnier]

Damn Kessel made a small defensive play there

 

[MetatronM]

Brady Skjei had a lot of work to do on that last shift. Good job by the kid. He did have a rush where he passed it off where he maybe had a better angle to just take it to the net himself, though.

 

[Alucard]

Thought Malkin would shoot on that odd-man rush.

Entertaining game so far. Pens looking pretty good but giving up more chances than I'd like.

 

[zroid]

Shockingly enough, he (and Bozak, and JVR) can actually play a little defence when not being coached by Randy Carlyle.

Yeah, he has to be more assertive.

Also, :lol on Brassard throwing a hissy fit

 

[MetatronM]

Not a good penalty to take, Hayes.

 

[Yawnier]

Yeah I've noticed that Kessel has made some defensive plays here and there on the pens that we never saw on the leafs those last few years he was in Toronto.

 

[Alucard]

Here we goooooo.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Powerplay :\\\\\\\\

Holy shit, never realized Rags are so bad on pk now.

Used to be consistently one of the best.

Our PK has been good lately. It tanked massively in the middle of the season when Nash was out. He's the lynchpin of the PK.

 

[zroid]

Hank is definitely on his game. Making tough stops look easy, as he does.

Makes sense, Nash was out for a while.

Figures the hobbit doesn't get called for the extra curricular.

 

[RedRum]

Rarely see Zucc get pissed off like that, but I guess it's what happens when your leg is taken out from you twice.

 

[MetatronM]

Solid period, pretty evenly played in general. I would say the Penguins had the slightly more dangerous offensive chances, aside from Stepan's breakaway.

 

[MetatronM]

Zatkoff is going to go 4-0 against us in this series.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Zuccarello is being a salty gnome

 

[alexthekid]

Yup, I bet they score now.

PHIL THE THRILL!

 

[MetatronM]

Pens are starting to take over.

 

[zroid]

That Lundqvist guy is good

 

[RedRum]

Pens are starting to take over.

It's what happens when you start taking penalties!

 

[zroid]

LOL at Moore trying to swat the puck out of the air and falling on his butt

 

[Line_HTX]

Snowballing time?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Is there a Chance that AV gets fired if Penguins sweep the Rangers?

Just wondering....

No.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

No.

Please.

 

[MetatronM]

Finally, pressure.
