ECF Game 1 | Senators @ Penguins | 7:00 PM ET | NBC CBC SN TVAS

how the **** can you watch this team 82+ times a year? this is garbage hockey

Agreed. I barely survived 7 games watching the Pens in the second round. That was awful. I am impressed.

 

[Jordan Belfort]

just checking in and the sens are up.... interesting.

Lots of hate for the sens before... now who's laughing

 

[The Kingslayer]

Kypreos is beyond stupid

As a neutral guy who respects Boucher and his system a lot, I'd be very surprised if Ottawa won this one, let alone winning another one in the series or making it to SCF. I truly enjoy seeing the Sens frustrate the Pens with their own ways and as a hockey fan I like it; but in the long run, this doesn't look like it will bode well. Only a matter of time before the Pens start scoring. A lot.

This game should be 2-0 Ottawa. The Pens haven't had that many great looks; I don't foresee the floodgates bursting on the Sens.

 

[madinsomniac]

Keep saying that!

Just trap in the 3rd and exit the weekend with a 1-0 series lead on the road.

The pens are pretty much getting through the trap.. its the sens play around the net that is keeping the pens off the board...

 

[playasRus]

2-0 ?

If it's 1-0 in the last minute, I can see Kessel scoring with the EN just because he's still god leafs blood.

 

[Iceman]

LOL?

"His ability to get lost is the reason Malkin is not on the top 100 list."

 

[voiceofreason666*]

And 1 game is supposed to determine if erik karlsson is the best in the nhl?

You responded to this post

Anyone out there want to admit they are starting to think Erik Karlsson might be the best player in the game? He's been way better then Sid tonight

I can't believe what I just heard.

 

[Scotty Pucks]

What a bum team Ottawa is. Pens need to shoot the damn puck

If you're bored of the game, go to sleep, or watch something else. Game should be 2-0 anyways even after the refs bias and 5 unanswered penalties, two of which combined into a 5-3 for 1:15 minutes.

No sympathy from me that you're not enjoying a game in which you're losing and creating bs narratives of boring hockey. Get the hell out of here with that crap.

GO
SENS
GO

You're my Karlsson.

Ottawa playing perfect road game... Don't be salty just because the crowd is out if it.. That's the point of being the road team doing what they doing..

 

[Randy Butternubs]

This doofus just said Malkin should be in the top 100.

 

[Brewsky]

I wish someone invented an offensive juggernaut system that would kill the trap, I mean absolutely destroy it so we never see it again.

Such a boring system, I'm not speaking on its effectiveness, I'm calling the system as boring as watching paint dry.

 

[Ocoee]

Pens cant complain that the sens are trapping. That is what Boucher does historically. They knew what to expect and have had 5 PP's and have not scored. They hit two posts early. If the Sens win by trapping then good for them.

 

[Sky04]

LOL?

"His ability to get lost is the reason Malkin is not on the top 100 list."

Guys a complete moron

Refs have been fine. There's no rule that says refs have to dish out the same number of penalties for each team. Avoid making stupid mistakes and you won't have to go on a lot of PKs. There have been some lopsided poorly reffed games in the playoffs. This is not one of them.

 

[PensFreak]

Not sure what Malkin is doing this game. He's making so many bad decisions.

 

[West Coast Eagles]

So the calls would be 2-2 then? Where's the problem?

Because it isn't 2-2 and the same play from stone that got called doesn't get called when it was a pen committing the infraction. Inconsistency is just annoying

The other 3 are obvious penalties. No complaint from me on those.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Not Ottawa's fault. When the Rangers scored, the games were crazy exciting, huge comebacks, etc. I blame Pittsburgh for making this game boring.

Exactly.

Why change a thing if you're Ottawa, as long as it works.

Pens averaged like 5 shots per game against Washington. They've been boring to watch for a while now.

Then why watch? I don't get it. If it bores you turn it off? Or watch WWE

Edmonton?

 

[SanderSen]

Hmm, Ottawa reminds me of the Pens against the Caps when the Caps had the zone time.

 

[Just Rude]

But does it vary randomly or by jersey color?

Yes, because it goes without saying in the 1/100th of a second he had to make that call with the puck under Fleury's pad, "Hey, here's a chance to screw Ottawa!"

Seriously. Get over the "woe is us" syndrome. The refs are not out to benefit the Penguins, and screw over the Sens. It's nothing but hyperbole.

Your team is in the ECF, and shutting down a pretty high-octane offense after two periods. Enjoy it. This "refs are out to screw us" rhetoric, with no substance whatsoever, is kind of embarrassing for you guys.
