GDT: Our Opponent Next Round Vs. Almost Made It

[T0uGh C0oki3]

Damn it. The Pens won.

TB couldn't win a FO when it mattered

Pittsburgh's team speed and top end talent are pretty scary. Their defense isn't nearly as good as some of the teams in the west but I don't think the Sharks have faced a team as talented offensively as what the Pens showed tonight.

Rangersharks declares victory for Pen's already with series thread

I hit post after the goal that was called back. My bad.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Penguins win the cup!

Bettman and NBC breathe a massive sigh of relief.

The Lightning just weren't good enough this round, especially in the last 2 games and being badly outshot in the first two periods both games and the entire game tonight.

If they squeaked by with a win tonight, I probably would have picked the Sharks in 5 games.

I think I'd still pick the Sharks in 7 over Pittsburgh though.

Vasilevskiy will have nightmares about the GWG. That was soft.

It's a tough one.

On one hand, you expect to allow at least 2 goals when you've allowed 39 shots to a team like the Penguins. But that goal was pretty bad. The first one wasn't good either, but it was much more forgivable. Allowing that one after tying the game was pretty brutal.

I thought he played well in this series though, he might have allowed 3 bad goals the whole series. 2 in this game and one last game to Crosby 5 hole, and even that goal wasn't THAT bad.

It reminded me of when Tokarski had to step in for Canadiens a couple years ago in the ECF when Price was injured. It's safe to bet that the odds are that Price would have played better, although he was being lit up in game 1. But Tokarski wasn't nearly the reason they lost. I couldn't expect Vasilevskiy to play much better than he did.

Jumbo compared Jones to Price in the Rivet interview. I thought that was interesting.

 

[The Macho King]

Rooting for you guys SO ****ing hard. Beat those guys.

Bettman and NBC breathe a massive sigh of relief.

I guess, but they still hate us.

I guess, but they still hate us.

As long as Pierre is not in between the glass we should be fine....

OH wait! It's the damn Finals!

We're boned!

I thought both goals should have been stopped, but he's a rookie goalie that got thrown into the fire because of an injury. He played very well for the most part, especially for someone his age.
