GO Bolts!!

 

[TBL12345]

Penguins win 7-0, with a hat trick from Jagr and goals from Lemeiux, Francis, Coffey and Barrasso.

 

[Stammertime91]

Loving that lineup. We need a big game from the triplets (Palat of course), Hedman and Callahan. Would be nice for Filppula to get involved offensively.

I feel whoever wins this wins the series. That is...unless we lose, then we win and Big Ben comes back for game 7, and we all know the rest about him and game 7s.

 

[Brie]

A bit nervous since we don't know which Tampa team that will show up but hopefully it's the good team that is fun to watch, also hope that we'll get some news on Bish.

 

[Hoek]

Callahan needs to set the tone early. Get Letang off his game and exploit the hell out of the bottom pairs without Daley.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

First goal is key

 

[dbieon12]

My only change (and I am fine with 11/7) is to do Marchessault instead of Carle.

 

[dbieon12]

Team is too positive about game 4. Game 4 was awful. If the Pens turned it on half a period sooner, it would have been 5-4.

 

[Brie]

Looks like the Pens will have Fleury in net, at least he's first of the ice. Hopefully we can get some good news on our goalie front now.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

When you have Drouin playing great and you get the Victory too...that's Winning Ugly.

 

[DaBolts]

Looks like the Pens will have Fleury in net, at least he's first of the ice. Hopefully we can get some good news on our goalie front now.

Confirmed by NBC. MAF will start tonight, Daley looks like he's out.

 

[PaulGG]

To win this game the Bolts need to grab the momentum and preferably do it early and hold on as long as they can. The pattern has been one team gets it going and strings 2-3 goals together and that decides the game. We won't likely see a game where the lead goes back and forth and there haven't been any successful comebacks so I don't expect that either.
Go Bolts , score that first goal!!

 

[LightningStrikes]

Go !!!!!

 

[dbieon12]

Rick DiPietro picked the Penguins.

 

[DaBolts]

Daley out for the playoffs. Broken ankle.

[DaBolts]

Buckle up boys. This one is going to be one hard hitting fast game.

Two teams who have to win.

Two teams heading into an uncertain future with some star players.

Two teams beat up, with lots of injuries.

(Thankfully they are starting a goalie with a .847 SV% against us the last 3 years)

Shoot from everywhere boys, and I mean everywhere.

 

[DaBolts]

Rick DiPietro picked the Penguins.

He's a punk. Who cares.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

For how we played for most of the game last game we need to play like that the entire game tonight.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Pens are playing musical chairs with there goalies it feels like.

 

[Lord Stan 2020]

gameday in pittsburgh
buckle up

i predict

cooper says I like our chances


this is fine

 

[FinnLightning26]

Took tomorrow off from work because of the WC final and Game 5. Hopefully I'll have at least something to celebrate about tonight.

 

[dbieon12]

Confirming what was already 99% sure.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Daley's season is done. That's a big loss for the Pens. That's 1 less puck mover to help their attack and his 20+ minutes/responsibilities will need to be distributed somehow to the 5 other dmen not named Letang.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Daley has been good for them. Not comparable players but it's like us losing Stralman as he is our second best defenseman. Pens are going to play their best tonight in front of Fluery and with Daley out. Bolts need to match that intensity if they want to win.
