Well the Pens would actually have to schedule a practice first ...............
They canceled practice so they could all sit in front of the bulletin board, reading JJ's quote

Too much is made of 'bulletin board material' in the playoffs. Every series has its version of what Johnson said. It really makes little difference.
If the Pens need to be reminded by Jack Johnson of what they are, or what the goal is, they have mega issues.
okay, since we're on the topic of what appears to be "moronic rationalizations" (not my words, mods, just his hash tag!), could you explain to me what Bobrovsky being bad has to do with saying MAF was bad?
Thanks!
Because when the other goaltender has been worse than MAF, some how MAF is still the worst.
But, please, educate me about how MAF is worse than Bobs and every other goaltender.
Has he been mediocre? Yeah for parts of the game, but the guy has also been solid enough to keep the Pens in it when the defense goes to crap. He's improved over last year and even the last 3yrs in the playoffs.
I'll take that as an improvement. I think MAF being in for this series (if they win), is going to push him past the hump for the 2nd round.
Now if Sid & Geno can start shooting more, maybe they can finally score some goals again.

Bylsma says he has no update on the status of Goc and Gibbons.

Bylsma, on Gibbons: "When he gets healthy, we'll try to find a spot for him in [the lineup]."
...What?
It took him 15 minutes to give that answer.
I wanted to jump through my TV and strangle Regis Mcguire after that second goal, he was going downright ballistic screaming about "FLEURY'S MELTDOWN" like NBC couldn't wait for that storyline to pop up. The first goal was on him giving up that juicy rebound, but even then you could argue he was left out to dry on both of them, and a far cry from a ****ing meltdown.
Are people really calling out MAF for his performance in this series? The story of this series from the Pens' perspective has been a complete no-show from our star offensive players, surprise offensively contributions from our D, and a revitalized MAF.
He hasn't been his absolute best, but poor goaltending could easily have us in an 0-3 hole against CBJ. He was our best player last night and he was more than adequate in games 1 & 2. I understand all of the MAF hate after the last few post seasons, but anybody giving him hell for his play in this series is out to lunch.

Columbus didn't just start sitting back five minutes into the game. The Jackets scored twice fast, but the Pens were the better team all night. The Pens were even out shooting the Jackets at that point if I'm not mistaken. I know shots aren't indicative of how the game was going, but the Pens were getting chances and did have some good offensive zone time. Even in the first period. The power play pretty much held the puck in the offensive zone the entire two minutes on many of the power plays.
You'd think the Pens looked horrible last night after reading this abomination of a forum. They looked decent at worst, and actually looked like a contender in the third. I even thought Sid was dangerous at times. Yes, his cross ice passes are frustrating. Nobody can debate that.
It looked like that pregame warmup drill with the entire team in front of Fleury taking shots at times.
I couldn't find a Pens' version, but like this:
