Post-Game Talk: Pens 4, Rangers 3 - A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Sweep

[Shaftception]

The agenda of the main forum is so obvious at times, the storyline is the undisciplined pens deserve all the penalties (ignore for a moment how many conspiracy mentions there would be if the ratio was reversed), not one person could answer if the reason for the penalty discrepancy so far is because pitt is just so undisciplined, then does that make 2 cross checks to the head and an extra overhand chop to the shoulder disciplined just because the refs ignored them?

Top logic I must say, or bias, either one.

 

[IcedCapp]

Hope Sid is okay. Looked like classic fencing response.

 

[Dick Sledge]

That's exactly the game we needed. Overcoming adversity down in the 1st and the refs. Great win to be proud of.

 

[Hophog]

Good game, why did Malkin pass when there is a open net in front of him

I love Geno but he has a habit of thinking the game is put away well before it actually is. It came damn close to costing them when he had a glorious opportunity to drive the stake into them.

 

[Hank Plank]

Did Sid pass up an empty net HT to try and pass it to Geno or was Lundqvist still in the net?

I'm kinda drunk at this point but I think that was a different play.

 

[PensFanSince1989]

Anyhow:

++++ Sutter
++++ Crosby
++ Hornqvist
+Kunitz : Say what you want, he was good tonight. Great even.
+Fleury : Played very well. Easier night than on Thursday though.

 

[Deutschland Dangler]

Well, we realistically could not have asked about a better result after two games. I still don't think we'll win more than maybe one more game, but that was really encouraging.

 

[Ally22]

+A good win!

Congrats on the game 2 win! Hope for a great series.

Really liking what i've seen systems wise. We all know the personel issues but MJ and Agnew have countered the Rangers very nicely.

The Rangers had 7 even strength shots mid-way or just past mid-3rd period. Helluva job 5on5.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Kunitz looked like he remembered how much fun it can be to be good.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

+ Going back home tied 1-1.
+Fleury
+ Kunitz
+ Sid
+Horny

 

[TNT87]

That's the best game they have played since I don't know when.

 

[dr robbie]

great game. actually fun to watch. keep this up please.

 

[Kharkov]

Great to see Fleury and Crosby playing really well! Also Kunitz was..., well, surprisingly atleast.

Refs were worse than I remembered.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Scuderi was good after the first goal. He's a + for me tonight

 

[ColePens]

Awesome thread title

+++++ Sid: Complete take over. Leadership, on the ice, on the powerplay, everywhere. Sid took over. ****ing right.

+ Kunitz/Horny: They turned it on for Sid. He needed that.

+ Cole/Dumo/Chorney: **** yes. Awesome defense by them.

+ Lappy: Lol... just lol.

+ Spaling/Sutter/Comeau: All 3 played very well. Spaling/Comeau did great on the 4th line and Sutter set the tone to gain us momentum.

Good game, why did Malkin pass when there is a open net in front of him

Honestly I think Geno had a good game overall,but that pass just unblievable.It's the playoffs.What the **** was he thinking?

 

[Konstantin Koltsov]

My prediction was that the Pens would win one game this series and they've already done that, so everything from here on out is just gravy.

 

[Common Sense]

Congrats on the game 2 win! Hope for a great series.

Dejan?

 

[Sam Spade]

And my pens series playoff prediction streak ends at 2.

Keep proving me wrong guys. Keep proving me wrong.

I picked the Pens to win this series.

Great game!

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Not related to the game, but more multiple shots at Monroeville Mall. How is that Mall ever going to remain open? So much bad press.

 

[Ogrezilla]

Good team effort but gotta give credit to Kunitz, his best game since november

Sutter too. He's in last year's playoff form again.

 

[IcedCapp]

CBC: "Sid was good, but the story is, they didn't need him to be good. This was about Brandon Sutter and Chris Kunitz"

...?????????

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

"Sid, how did you beat your opponents tonight?"

"Well, we didn't underestimate them, I tell you that. They were on us from the first whistle and never let up, but we persevered and overcame the odds. The Rangers were alright too."
