SCF Game 2 - 6/01/16 8 PM EDT - Sharks at Penguins | NBCSN, CBC, TVAS

[Spektre]

Pens clearly the better team again. SJ will be lucky to squeak out a win.

 

[Steve Durbano]

One of the lesser Finals in a while. NBC did not want these teams involved.

Tears, sweet tears...LOL

 

[Fordy]

NBC has been on the Pens bandwagon since the playoffs started - did you not watch?

you realize the majority of nbc analysts and commentators have personal beef with the pens organization right? you're out of your mind if you think this

Yeah, they wanted the Bruins

 

[missingchicklet]

SJ could very well hold serve at home.

 

[madinsomniac]

Feel bad for Sharks goalie.

I Always thought he was underrated... After this he will get mad props

These idiots on CBC.

Sheary interviewed:

Sheary ... Sid drew up the play, told me what to do ...

cut to CBC

"Sheary had no idea, it wasn't a set play, he was lucky he looked up"


ha ha ha such dumb people

 

[jj cale]

Agreed

Yep, I think he gets it all things considered, especially considering his play over rounds 3 and 4.

If the pens win of course.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Looking at the whole body of work through 4 series, would it be safe to assume Crosby takes home the Conn Smythe should the pens close this out?

I would think it will be hard to deny him it.

I've got Kessel/Bonino fighting for it as well.

I would think it will be hard to deny him it.

My money would be on Phil Kessel, if for no other reason than professional antipathy between the voters and Steve Simmons.

 

[dbieon12]

SJ could very well hold serve at home.

Based on the play of games 1 and 2, I'd say Vegas would be silly to make game 3 even odds. Pens should be favored.

 

[PensPlz]

NBC has always been on the Pens bandwagon. Anyway, I'm sure they would have preferred a Canadian team to make it but that didn't happen.

Yeah. Milbury and Roenick... two biggest Pens supporters on television.

 

[Lemieux66]

That was the deserved ending, owned sharks for at least 55 minutes

 

[SEALBound]

Oh baby! LET'S GO PENS!!!

 

[Cigar City]

If you can't transition through the neutral zone, this team will absolutely swarm d men and force them to make ****** passes.

You either need a forward with speed to skate it through the NZ and keep possession, or a QUICK zone exit.

It has yet to be done by anyone consistently. Hats off to the Pens.

lets not let the truth get in the way of narrative

 

[tmunnuch]

I expected the Pens to get tons of good looks. Didn't expect the Pens to completely shut down the Shark's offense.

 

[Grandma Bingo]

One of the lesser Finals in a while. NBC did not want these teams involved.

NHL definitely wants the Pens in the finals.

They're the most popular American team in Canada.

They get the highest local ratings of any team inhockey, including the RedWings and Bruins.

The Pens are the marquee franchise in the east.

Yes, NBC probably wanted Chicago or LA instead of SJ...... but they definitely wanted the Pens.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Why is Ward taking that face off? That's what I want to know

 

[Hank Plank]

How can a series be so close but so dominant by the Pens at the same time. I can't remember another series like this one.

 

[NastyNick]

BOOM...

I expect the league to regather and come out harder in game 3. Drag those slow, lumbering, cavemen over the finish line or die trying!

 

[Empoleon8771]

Sharks need to win both games at home in games 3 and 4. If they only win one of the two, Pittsburgh will win the series in game 5 at home.

 

[Fordy]

I expected the Pens to get tons of good looks. Didn't expect the Pens to completely shut down the Shark's offense.

should have watched their 3 series before this then

 

[SabresSharks]

I wasn't being politicially correct like all of the other hacks on here that pander to the opposite teams fans. Sharks are garbage and will be dominated by Pittsburgh.

You da' man!

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

To me this kind of puts in perspective how good the caps really were. Only team so far that has been able to dictate play against the pens for extended periods of time.
