Pre-Game Talk: Game 5: You mean you're allowed to try and end a series on home ice?

[Jaded-Fan]

For all our *****ing.

Hell for all my *****ing.

Just watching Chicago go down 3-1 makes me appreciate our team no matter the frustrating flaws. I am look at you Disco Dan. But for tonight, I am just glad we are in this position. It could be a lot worse.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

I think Alfredsson was just trying to fire up his guys. He was calling them out and challenging them to prove him wrong. Anger is more useful than despair.

I expect this to be the toughest game yet.

Truth. People make too much out of fans coming here to debate, second guess, and vent. As if there is another, more noble, purpose for sports message boards.

Then again, we have been in Chicago's position a few times recently.

 

[IcedCapp]

No chance the Pens win this game. Hope they can pull it out in game 7.

 

[Zen Arcade]

And you mean Phillipe Dupuis not Pascal right?

I'm not sure if Philippe Dupuis is still injured from earlier this season or if he was just so worthless that he played himself into non-existence.

 

[MeticulouslyDishevel]

No chance the Pens win this game. Hope they can pull it out in game 7.

I was wondering when you'd grace us with your optimism.

The Sens have too much depth

We most definately are the underdogs.

Crosby will take a penalty in the first minute...they will score. And then Anderson will shut us down for rest of game. It's been a good year. Nothing to hang your head about. Bylsma will do better next year I guarantee it.

 

[Pancakes]

I'm gonna say the key is score 4 or more goals because we never fare well in the low scoring ones.

So uh keep doing what we've been doing I guess.

I think that if we can manage to score one more goal than they can we might have a good shot at this one.

No chance the Pens win this game. Hope they can pull it out in game 7.

We're lucky to even have won a game against the mighty Sens.

7:30 start I'm guessing.

 

[JurassicTunga]

Go Pens!!!

 

[Miss Ausguins]

Go Pens.....

BTW, Saturday morning half past nine in the morning for face off for me (and I won't be at work who hoo)

At no point was I genuinely concerned with losing this series. I haven't once seen anything from the Senators that said they pose a real threat to win four games.

Chicago is playing Detroit. Yes, no Lidstrom. But still.

 

[IcedCapp]

I was wondering when you'd grace us with your optimism.

You call it optimism. I call it a dose of cold, hard reality. It hits you in the face like that animated water stuff on those bad razor commercials. Boom. Wet.

We most definately are the underdogs.

We have to tilt our necks up all the way to look UP at underdogs we're so low.

Crosby will take a penalty in the first minute...they will score. And then Anderson will shut us down for rest of game. It's been a good year. Nothing to hang your head about. Bylsma will do better next year I guarantee it.

I agree. It's all a learning experience. Yes, it sucks to give up the tying SHG with 30 seconds left. It sucks to blow a 3-1 series lead. It sucks go in and ask for a trim and come out with a perm and a mullet.

The key is to not let yourself be defined by the suck. Make like Captain Intangibles and make sure the media blames the refs and your teammates.

We're lucky to even have won a game against the mighty Sens.

7:30 start I'm guessing.

I don't get what your game is, dude. Pens are lucky to even be here. They are 1 non-bandwagon fan away from being the Kansas City Barbeque Stains.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Lets close at at home boys. LETS GO PENS!

 

[Coach Travis]

It'd be good to get at least one day's more rest than Boston. Let's do this!

 

[meechimindoh]

In case Pens close out today and Boston tomorrow, will ECF start be postponed until WCF pairing is set? I am expecting Hawks and Sharks to win next game.

 

[Frederick Stanley]

when does practice start?

Yeah round has to be completely over. Pens/bruins would be the first game played though.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

I want to see handshakes tonight

Let's go

 

[Ugene Magic]

 

[KIRK]

Elimination game at home? It will be interesting to see the level of compete the Pens come out with. I really don't have a feeling either way just yet. I don't feel like it's going to be over tomorrow.

Well, given how your feeling on Wednesday played out, that will do.

 

[KIRK]

Well duh. They don't hand the cup out after the conference semifinals.

Just a reminder: You watch this game live and the Pens lose, then I will find you Marko, and I will kill you.

That goes for that schizoid over-caffeinated psychotic reverse psychologist IcedCapp too.

EDIT: Question for any lawyers here . . . if the Pens win a playoff game due in great part to two posters here NOT watching live and they then watch the next game live and the Pens lose, would that fall under the justifiable homicide defense?

No chance the Pens win this game. Hope they can pull it out in game 7.

Not if you and MrCarbonFootprint watch live.
