Bolts to the final and a Cup!

Stamkos is up and practicing with the team. No contact yet.

The Capitals choked and were bounced out in the playoffs? LOL same story every year.

I hope the Pens get smoked especially after the classless ahole who shouted about the Flyers sucking during a moment of silence for Ed Snider

Stralman returned to full practice.

Because that guy represents all us Penguin fans. Amiright or amiright?

Screw that classless ahole for bad timing IMO.

Go Pens!

Hopefully the Preds can punch their ticket to the Western Conference Final tonight.

 

[aunty dive]

With you on that one.

 

[ToyYoda]

Let's do this boys...

 

[aunty dive]

Sharks taking it to the Predators hard in the first period. 2 zip with 2 minutes to go.

That first goal was pretty sad. Three Predators right in front of the net and Pavelski still got it through.

 

[aunty dive]

Finally some pushback.

 

[aunty dive]

I can't watch any more of this.

 

[ToyYoda]

See you next year.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Puck to drop in a little over 9 hours.

 

[aunty dive]

Rough start to this one.

We might need some help, dpk. Do you play goal?

 

[FLRacingFan]

Hell yes.

 

[aunty dive]

3-1 after 2. Vasilevsky is a pleasant surprise.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Strong road win with yet more injuries.

 

[aunty dive]

No give-up. I'm biased but that's coached.

That and a total of 4 or 5 shots for Crosby and Malkin combined.

^ Old NHL playoff adage:

"You're not in trouble till you lose at home."

 

[FLRacingFan]

Tough. Especially considering the fight to come back from 0-2 early in the first.

Home ice advantage for the rest of the series though.

 

[mike honcho]

Let's Go Pens!!!!!!! Put this game away.

 

[aunty dive]

Ouch. That hurt.

 

[FLRacingFan]

That was quick.

Must-win tonight. Can't afford to go down 1-3 heading to Pitt.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Jesus ****** Christ that was a helluva third period.

 

[aunty dive]

No idea how but the Bolts are goin' home up 3 games to 2.

Yes, we're all wondering that here too in Pittsburgh.

 

[aunty dive]

Yes, we're all wondering that here too in Pittsburgh.

If you lived here and were a Canucks fan you'd blame the officiating.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

If you lived here and were a Canucks fan you'd blame the officiating.

I'm just wanting to see my team show up for a full game. I'm spoiled from the Lemieux era of play. Back when our best players turned it up a notch in the playoffs, producing results. Sadly we lack that today in Pittsburgh.

 

[aunty dive]

^ Do or die. Twice.

No choice but to show up now.

 

[aunty dive]

I'm just wanting to see my team show up for a full game.

Yeah ... I hear you.

Game 7 looming.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Yeah ... I hear you.

Game 7 looming.

I'm going to be out of town tomorrow night, unable to be in front of a television. Going to have to do this one on radio.

 

[aunty dive]

^ I'll offer up a couple of weak cheers for the Pens on your behalf.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Well that's hugely disappointing.
