They've swallowed their whistles on blatant calls for over a period.

Imagine the colours on those jerseys were switched and tell me how you'd feel about it. You'd be screaming for the refs heads if they let a hook like that go.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Marleau's a scrub. Not sure why anybody is cheering him on.

I wasn't able to watch much but what I saw was fun. Good stuff.

 

[Alucard]

Pens fans bitching about ref bias is fuckin hilarious

Zaraki was drinking during the game. Give the man a pass.

I will say that complaining about refs is the worst fan argument though. Second is complaining about your goalie.

 

[Futureman]

It's always weird with a penalty late in the game like that. Obviously you want your team to have a man advantage, but Pens just were on top of it and kept clearing the puck. I don't think the Sharks had a shot there at the end.

 

[chuckddd]

 

[bremon]

Well Alucard you would hate my recollection of the 2011 cup finals then. I am the worst.

 

[Acid08]

Jones was so great tonight. If he can keep that up and we decide to stick to playing like we did in the second then the Sharks got this.

 

[3N16MA]

3 more to go and all will be right in the land of hockey.

Jones was great, but you've gotta remember that the Pens will dictate the play for various spurts as well. It's going to be a tight series.

Tonight was really damn good. I imagine most neutral fans would have enjoyed that one.

Always feels good to come out on the winning end of close ones like that. See you for game 2 on Wednesday, Sharks.

 

[iLLmAtlc]

3 sounds very close but I know what it's like to be 2 and even 1 away and for it to end in crushing defeat >_>

Oh for sure but I'd say for about 35 minutes tonight the Sharks weren't playing the way they usually play. When they were then the Pens D was having trouble moving pucks up and we were getting sustained zone time. We're only going to get better from here on out.

Nieto should be drawing in too which should give us a different look up front.

 

[3N16MA]

Jones made it a game. Sharks looked out of it for large portions of the game but Jones never did.

 

[Calamari41]

Sharks just tanked that one to see what the Pens have.

It ain't much.

It was the same with the lightning. Goalies play really well against us.

you crazy if you think that was all the Pens have

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

I wish Bonino was still a Duck.

 

[Calamari41]

I think I speak for all Shark fans when I say this is going to be easy going forward.

 

[zroid]

I think I speak for all Ice Shark fans when I say this is going to be easy going forward.

ftfy

 

[Acid08]

Ice Sharks is one of those weird fake Australian hockey teams. Dastardly pls confirm.

 

[Calamari41]

Shit, thanks, I don't want to upset anybody by using slang and shortening the name inappropriately.

 

[3N16MA]

Vasilevskiy played as well as Bishop would have played.

 

[Futureman]

It's gonna be a tight series for sure. Would love to see a 6-0 Pens victory on Wednesday though.

Everything going to plan so far for a Pens sweep. Game 4 will go to double OT pushing the Crosby game winner to the 7th on my birthday.

Lol what.
This isn't basketball, you can't plan that far ahead in hockey.

I heard that the San Francisco Fighters also won their basketball playoff game tonight. Can anyone confirm?

Long Beach native Steve Currey lifted us to the Finals, yes.

Bryan Rust is day to day with an upper body injury, according to Mike Sullivan, who isn't going to say any more than that anyway.

 

[Futureman]

You gotta cheer for the Warriors and Pens as they have the best players in their respective league (Curry and Bonino).

 

[Futureman]

Just kidding, don't want to disrespect my best friend Sidney.

I texted him about getting that Game 4 winning goal but he hasn't responded.

Are those Latios and Latias jets in the background?

 

[Alucard]

I had a dream that the Penguins won game one and dominated the Sharks for stretches of it. Whoa.

He's probably just busy.

hung over as all fuck, but it was worth it. What a start to this series, great game.

Undoubtedly. Some of the most entertaining hockey all season long. Can't imagine a neutral being bored during that one. Hope it does well ratings-wise.

Weren't most analysts that were picking SJ saying 6 or 7 games? I don't think that game 1 result would change the media narrative yet.

Major American sports media really believe in the one game winning streak.

Radio hosts read NHL Facebook comments after the Pens beat the Bolts in game 7 and moved on the Cup final:

http://m.961kiss.iheart.com/onair/t...acebook-comments-after-pens-advance-14760984/

While I hate the term "butthurt," just listening to them read the actual comments is a decent/mixed 3-4 minutes of entertainment.
