What happened to Rust @Tom Hanks ? Was he traded when Kapanen cloned himself?

Let's win this f***in game. Stay disciplined and stay focused and get that W and a 3-1 series lead going back to Pittsburgh.

Let's win this f***in game. Stay disciplined and stay focused and get that W and a 3-1 series lead going back to Pittsburgh.

I have a lot of confidence in them outplaying the Isles for at least 2 of 3 periods. Hopefully that and Jarry's performance is enough. I think they win this game. They seem determined to wrap this one up. The only thing that gives me pause is that it is a afternoon game.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Huge opportunity to for all practical purposes finish this series.

Islanders know this as well, which is why the Pens will have to come out and play as if they were down three games to none.

 

[Tender Rip]

f***ing afternoon games...

The thing that gives me pause is the Pens have had rough period in essentially every game so far this series. If we get a lead, we need to put them away and not give them a chance to get back into the game.

 

[TNT87]

Lets f***ing go Pens!

 

[TNT87]

Let's win this f***in game. Stay disciplined and stay focused and get that W and a 3-1 series lead going back to Pittsburgh.

The Islanders are going to try and bait the Pens in taking undisciplined penalties. The Pens need to be smart and stay away from that. Blueger's slash was a good example of what the Islanders were trying to accomplish by taking the Penguins off of their game. Then again it doesn't help that the refs turn a blind eye to the crap that the Islanders were doing. Still don't know how the Islanders got a PP on that one sequence.

3PM? wtf.

3PM? wtf.

f*** off, it is noon for me, don't have the math skills to figure out what our friends in Asia face. ;-) It's always miserable in London so @Peat will hang... Let's crush these thugs!

3 pm is our early evening across the pond. So it's kind of like having a normal game time for us! Except it sucks for you!

Happy for you. So, basically Czech Republic is like Spain except for the hot ladies, tapas, and late starts? ;-)

 

[Rossi Rat]

The “buckle up baby”, while cute, will sadly always be synonymous with the terrible post-cup Bylsma years.

Ripping shots with Crankshaft!

 

[Nakawick]

I think our PP shows up today.

 

[SomeDude]

Need to try to end this in 5 as it seems the Caps are just going to roll over and die.

 

[harmonica]

Need the first line to show up today.

 

[Terrapin]

This Isles will be fighting for their lives today
We historically suck in afternoon games
Even though they lost Thursday, the Isles should have some confidence that their 3rd period 'plan' was successful

Not feeling good about this one, but they tie the series, we win the next 2

Therefore... We win today and finish it in Pittsburgh. f*** these clowns. Martin going after Marino was the final straw for me. That is all these pricks have. Talent level distance is ginormous.

We were having pretty nice weather until a week or so ago.

But yeah, nice to have evening games... except for how they tend to throw this team for a loop. Also I suspect the wife will be trying to watch Eurovision at the same time.

 

[LOGiK]

3pm really sticks me in a very ugly position.... There is a lot going on I can either do either before 3pm.... which means, basically it means I won't be happy, heh, orrrrrrrr wait until possibly who knows when if this game goes to 3OT and the places all close and wifey and kid are staring daggers at me...


why screw the weekend up like this...... my luck I record and just watch it at 7 and then I hear someone saying who won the game ruining everything... bahhh

 

[spcastlemagic]

If Guentzel/Rust, or the powerplay as a unit, get going this game, we will win. Jarry seems to have settled in and I’m expecting an excellent performance out of him.

 

[LOGiK]

I have a question... how often is NST wrong on their cute little advanaced stat numbers.

That isn't the first time I seen and personally posted two or three myself that posters have said that is wrong info....

So I actually see them advertise or say some stats are officially provided by NST... yet they have bogus information?

So now that makes me wonder.... how much or how often do they post bad numbers?
