Game will depend on whether the Pens can score first. If they can, then I'll predict a competitive game. If the Isles take the lead, especially if it becomes a 2-goal lead, then the Pens will probably mail it in the rest of the night.

This is probably the end of a very successful era. I’ll see ya guys in a decade when we draft the next Lemieux/Crosby.

main board plant to make us all look like fairweather fans BUSTED

Get Rust and/or Guentzel away from the defenders that are too big and too strong for them to play effectively against.

I think they can still win the series but Sullivan has to stop banging his head against the wall. Do your job and give the team it’s best chance to win.

going to miss this one. just pick one.

Prediction: we come out flying, play well, maybe even take the lead. Then the Islanders score a goal that was a gift from us and/or was deflected by five players, two stanchions and three posts. After that we take a stupid penalty (my bet is on Jake), allow a goal and proceed to embarrass ourselves.

Or we bunker up and win 1-0 in the seventh OT after someone literally knocks out Sorokin but the refs let them play on.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Are you gonna let them hang around or are you gonna put them away?

 

[Dangles78]

I don't want the hockey season to end. We've been incredibly spoiled this decade+ but these past 3 years have been so blah.

 

[dogthateats]

Anyone else rather Hornqvist get a couple points tonight than have the Pens win?

 

[Lionel Hutz]

I never say never, but I'm pretty close to having no hope on this one.

Outscoring a team with a goalie om a hot streak with puck luck, we've seen this movie before. Add to that the absolute gut punch it must have been, for the skaters to bring it and establish such a relentless forecheck only for Jarry to literally throw it away.

I could see a flat, defeated team come out tonight.

Remember in 2008, 2009, 2016 and 2017 they were never out and never gave up. The difference was they had faith in their goaltender(s) in those seasons. I doubt the locker room has much faith in Jarry rn.

To anyone who still has optimism in this team

 

[Zero Pucks]

I'll be happy if we give 50% tonight.

I don't buy this. This is a very good group of players. The effort on Monday and at other times this year was one of the best I've seen since the all in play in 16 and 17.

Need to address goaltending, which is going to be tough.

 

[NeonKnight]

my god

Seriously...WTF is wrong with some of you.

I mean I like Hornqvist and am a bit hopeless about the Penguins right now but no absolutely not.

It's the Pittsburgh Penguins and the hell with everyone else for this guy.

 

[dogthateats]

It was a joke lol

 

[Pancakes]

I'd like a game 7 even if we ultimately lose that game 7. I don't want it to end so soon.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

5-1 Pens.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

It was a joke lol

Well I mean to be fair... this board and Hornqvist...

 

[dr robbie]

Wow... guys are really negative on here.

 

[Icarium]

my god

Thank you for quoting this gem, I would have missed it otherwise because the poster is on my ignore list but this is peak HFPens.

 

[dogthateats]

Yeah, reading these boards makes me feel like some people would prefer Hornqvist do well than the Pens. That’s why I made my joke.
