Stanley Cup Playoffs Round 1: Tampa Bay Lightning (5) vs Pittsburgh Penguins (4)

    Kunitz is back in the lineup fpr the Pens, Tangradi will likely sit and Connor will likely remain in the lineup. Tough decision for Coach Disco, Tangradi was a beast on the PP with his net front prescence and Connor has been playing extremely well on the very energetic third line with Talbot and Dupuis.

    Your TV guide would be wrong, definitely a noon start and the game will be carried by Versus.

    The Tampons will play as desperate as ever, can the Pens be as desperate to end this series? I think so.

    I like James Neal to have a big game, that OT winner may propel him forward.

    I know the Pens play at noon. I was just stating that there is a game on at 3 on NBC.

    Good job, me! I managed to wake up before the game started. For a Saturday, me being up by noon is never a given.

    GO TEAM!

    Guess that is that vaulted Pens defense.

    Fantastic passing by the Lightening.

    Pens defense fails again.

    Stamkos with the goal, finally.

    And suddenly it is 2-0 Tampa.
  • rock_knutne
    I had a bad feeling with the Pens dominating the entire period and not scoring a goal. They need to prove they can come back.

    That goal was complete garbage.

    Bad start. Better get it going in the 2nd period. Hopefully they'll actually cash in on a power play.
  • killer_ewok
    Wow. 3-0. From bad to worse. Right after another missed opportunity on the PP.....they give up another goal.
  • ptown_trojans_1
    Wow, what great Pens defense.

    3-0 Tampa.

    But, the good news for the Pens is the trend is a team goes up 3-0 then chokes the lead away. So, the Pens should be on their way back.

    You are so insane haha. Everytime the opposition scores you come w the "garbage goal" line. You have the same MO as Cindy. Never credit the opposing team.

    Look Vinny scored. Oh that goal was complete garbage. You are like a Pittsburgh robot, Rock. Let me guess. Aaron Rodgers got lucky on all those sick throws too.

    What is it with Pittsburgh and game fives?

    4-0 wow. I didn't expect this. I was thinking you could pretty much stick a fork into TB, but it seems as if the Pens are giving them life. If TB holds onto this lead, I can see this series going game 7.
  • killer_ewok
    4-0. This game is over.
  • rock_knutne
    FUCK! 4-0.......better pick it up and quick! If not, start sending the message for game six!

    Was that goal garbage too?
  • ptown_trojans_1
    lol Pens fail.

    This is what, game 2, all over again?

    That second goal was garbage, get a clue!

    BTW, nice to see that a mod can troll too.
  • like_that
    I don't see how that is trolling....

    Anyway, crazy that TB is going to get their first power play.

    Iunno, maybe the Pens should do a better job at boxing out. I thought they had the best defense in the NHL?

    Like I said, the Pens have their moments where they are great and where they are awful. Against a better team, they would be down in a series.

    And was that a garbage goal too?
    5-0 Tampa. Beatdown.
  • killer_ewok
    Is there a mercy rule?

    There should be.
  • rock_knutne
    Well this one is definitely over now, Pens were just standing arouind on that PP goal.

    Start sending the message!
  • rock_knutne
    Amazing how the trolls all come out when the team they hate is losing badly.
