Click on the "Ray Ferraro" Icon. Towards the end of the Penguins segment, Ferraro starts talking about "doing the same thing over and over again" I.E. the stretch pass.

I like the sound of lineup changes but systematically is where most of our problems are.

If we play our own trap game and force turnovers with our transition, we'd probably see better results.

I'd like to see Vitale, Bennett, and Kennedy in. Morrow and someone else out.

I don't know if we see Despres. I'm guessing DB goes back to Eaton for game 3.

We played bad during parts of the islander series to and everything turned out OK,people need to stop panicking, I am interested how LA plays game 3 of there series,also being down 2-0

You don't see the difference between the Islanders and Bruins? You can afford to play bad for a couple of games against the Islanders and still win the series. You can't against the Bruins.

Also, that's a major issue in and of itself. The Pens have ALREADY played badly in the playoffs and had to smarten the **** up. When does this team learn to play consistently good hockey? It's one thing to get a scare in round one and learn from it. It's another to basically repeat the same things that went wrong the first time.

I'd implement a 1-3-1.

Play it the entire game with

Dupuis-Crosby-Iginla
Kunitz-Malkin-Neal

and if Iginla isn't looking good push Bennett up.

It's hard to generate offense right now cuz the usual stretch/dump in's are being negated by how the B's are countering it with lots of guys back with several outlets for easy outs.

They should be tightening up, make the neutral zone a nightmare to get through and generate your offense off turn overs and you may get 3 on 2's, 2 on 1's the other way with better O-Zone time.

If the B's beat you on their O-Zone faceoffs and generate shots that way fine but don't make it doubly easy for them with easy breakouts and turning over the puck in the neutral zone.

No, the Penguins are making the Bruins look much better than they are. The Islanders were much better at generating offense for themselves. Bruins are just capitalizing on the Penguins bad passes and and poor defensive decisions.

Pre game thread is up and we have a few ***** threads to still let loose our ammo. And trust me.. it's deserved so it's okay. But let's lock this ***** up.
