  Jordan Staal!

  2-1 Pittsburgh after one period of play. Pens PP clicking in this game which is huge, Montreal has to be thinking a little the next time they try to engage someone.
• Non

  

  Pens bringing the pain
  
  Cooke takes out Markov and a lot of other good, clean hits
• Non

  

  that first power play was a thing of beauty
  
  great passing and then Sarge with the drive past Halak
  
  Staal got way too free from that range
• rock_knutne

  Versus production of these games has a lot to be desired but I do give them credit for their bench reporters........that Charissa Thompson is smoking hot!

  indeed
  
  there is one announcer I like but he always does the late games like Vancouver
  
  can't remember his name
• Non

  

  he sounds like Frank Gifford but with Don Criqui's urgency
  
  Jim Hughson is his name
• Non

  

  Crosby even ran over somebody in that first period
  
  Pens looked a little rusty first five minutes then cranked it up
  
  it will be interesting to see how Montreal comes out in the second
  
  do they try to be more aggressive? that could backfire and lead to penalties
• rock_knutne

  I'm surprised Versus doesn't have Caps play by play man Joe Beninati doing this series. He did the Eastern Conference finals last year and did a great job. His color guy was good too, can't remember his name.
  
  I wish FSN had this game, love Bob Errey and "Steigy" on the call.

  I think Montreal is going to sit back, no need for them to get desperate.........yet. If and when they decide to open it up, it should play right in to Pittsburgh's hands.

  Markov will not return, lower body injury. Cooke got him good.
• rock_knutne

  Wooooooo, the Tanger! 3-1 Pens! PP is 3 for 3 tonight.
• rock_knutne

  Montreal score a hard working goal, 3-2 Pens.
• rock_knutne

  GOAL.......Craig Adams! 4-2 Pens!
• rock_knutne

  Great work by Cooke and Dupuis to get to the loose puck and make a great pass to Adams.
• Non

  

  great pass by Dupuis
  
  Adams is playing a strong game, he deserved that goal
• Non

  

  injuries becoming a story
  
  Staal out for the Pens
  
  Markov for the Habs
• rock_knutne

  GOAL.......GoGo makes it 5-2 Pens! The PP is on fire tonight!
• rock_knutne

  BTW.......what a pass by Crosby to set up that goal, thing of beauty.
• ptown_trojans_1

  

  Nice, nice pass by Crosby. This is going how I thought it go. The Habs aren't bad, but the Pens are flexing their muscle.
• rock_knutne

  Wow, all this talk about Halak coming in to this game, Montreal pulls him for Carey Price.
• ptown_trojans_1

  

  Halak pulled, Price in.
  
  Not sure on this move. Yeah, it is 3 goals, but still. Stay with the hot hand that got you here.
