[EightyOne]

Bringin that 81 styyyyyle yo

So the only thing to be decided Saturday is whether we’re 3 seed or WC1?

Yup, good thing we are a better road team, try take the 2-0 lead.

 

[Coastal Kev]

ah but i was told all year by the toughness wanting people and the downers, that we were gonna miss the playoffs

One: team changed drastically mid year so what was at the beginning wasn't what was at the end.

Two: They clinched by winning in their NEXT TO LAST GAME of the YEAR.... Their prediction was pretty close to being reality.

 

[Andy99]

I think we can still get #2 seed if we win Saturday and the Isles lose to WSH, but WSH will be resting players most likely...

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

I really hope they come to play on Saturday.
I also hope the Caps don’t take the day off.

not really.

getting rid of bum sprong turned our season around. Petts played huge all year.

Yeah, the Pens would end with 101 and 43 ROW , Isles with 101 and 42 ROW. Unless the Pens win in a shootout with an Isles loss, not sure what the next tie breaker is.

 

[Sty1877]

Yup, good thing we are a better road team, try take the 2-0 lead.

Both teams only have 42 ROW. We also have a better +/-. If we win Saturday and the Isles lose, we're the #2 seed.

Don't mind him, he's like those people who show up when MM has a bad game and goes "see? he sucks" but disapear when he has a good game. Same sort of thing.

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

13 years is a long ass time. How was that Ottawa series 13 years ago already **** me.

Terrifying how quickly time moves

 

[LOGiK]

Shootouts are awful anyway. Give me 3-on-3 for 20 minutes. I don't care if you need to have oxygen on the benches. Don't @ me

I'm a huge fan of 3 on 3. So much action.

 

[Ugene Magic]

If the Pens can get to ot against the rangers they'd have a 50/50 split between home and road records. 50 points from both.

Screw it, it just doesn't matter where they play.

 

[66-30-33]

Both teams only have 42 ROW. We also have a better +/-. If we win Saturday and the Isles lose, we're the #2 seed.

Ah, should be a win for Isles then.

 

[SEALBound]

Pens are in. Canes are in too. Last spot is up to Columbus or Montreal.

I think Columbus is the better team and has the better overall chance of beating TB or the Caps.

That said...Price could easily steal a series against either...

 

[Andy99]

Yeah, the Pens would end with 101 and 43 ROW , Isles with 101 and 42 ROW. Unless the Pens win in a shootout with an Isles loss, not sure what the next tie breaker is.

We can still be anything from #2 seed to WC1...if we lose and CAR wins, we’re WC1 ...

 

[Ryder71]

We need one point! But let's just win anyhow.

 

[Son Goku]

+++clinching playoffs

+Crosby 3 points

+Geno and Letang coming back. Their presence was HUGE and with them healthy and us playing well we can take on anyone.

+Kessel ACTUALLY HAVING A GOOD GAME WTF THIS IS SHOCKING

+++Matt Murray, top 5 tendy in the league IMO. He’s amazing and ten times the tender fleury ever was tbh.

 

[ColePens]

Had to watch on DVR with my pops. PLAYOFFS BAYBAY!!!!

 

[Ugene Magic]

Terrifying how quickly time moves

Yeah, one minute you're 37 and next 50.

 

[Andy99]

Yeah, one minute you're 37 and next 50.

So so true....

 

[LOGiK]

Terrifying how quickly time moves

Makes me want to drop everything in my life and move to a tropical island and live out my days with a dog.... or a volleyball.

 

[66-30-33]

Yeah, one minute you're 37 and next 50.

Time moves faster when you're a sports fan. Crosby is 31 already? I am almost 35 wtf. HOCKEY IS DRAINING MY LIFE!!! soon I will be 70 in a few years.

 

[Extra Texture]

Ill take nyi allll day over Washington.

Fucccck dealing with that powerplay.

Plus, I think Carolina can beat them if they get lucky

I agree on who we should play (I’ll take rounding into proper playoff form against an NYI team that are good but seem a little hard up for goals lately) but I would much rather see CBJ face Washington, as unlikely as it is at this point. They’re big, angry and have a lot of firepower this year. They’d still be pissed about last year, and have something to prove. At the very least they’d probably soften them up a bit.

 

[Ryder71]

They won. Everything else is meaningless.

Question now is...what do the Islanders bring?

We're not quite there yet, still got a get a point.

Don't name the ball Wilson, eff that guy on the Caps.
