Pens vs. Caps

I am going to the game tonight. 3rd row from the ice. Hopefully I will see a winner for the home team.


LETS GO PENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Holy hell, what a game. I was nervous as hell going into OT. The refs really need to get off of Pitt's payroll...

No doubt...they are trying to get Pitt into the finals with the lack of penalties called against Pitt.

Did you see the 2 on 1 with (I think) Ovechkin charging Pitt's goal, gets ready to shoot with seconds left in the 2nd? No tripping call with the ref 6 feet away.

Complete BS

Can't wait for Wed!

GO CAPS! :)
 
Man you Caps fans whine a lot. The reason the Pens are getting more calls is because they are outplaying and out skating your team. The only reason this series is still going on is because of goaltending. Fleury has played average at best, and the Russian has stood on his head at times. The Pens have no excuse, they should have ended it last night at home. When you are up in the 3rd period of an elimination game at home, you have to close the deal. Game 7 in NHL playoffs. It doesn't get much better for hockey fans.

LOL! I am not one of those fans that ever complains about officiating, it's part of the game and you win some and loose some but come one...

BTW - I do agree that the series should have been over by now based on how the Caps have played thus far. Pitt has played very well and should have ended it last night.

I am sure it is because he plays for my home team, but I don't understand why people hate him so much. He is very well spoken, gives 110% every time on the ice, has incredible skill and isn't on steroids. I know people think he whines, but if you compare him to previous super stars in the league, he gets abused much more than a Gretzky type ever did. He draws penalties because of how hard he works on the ice. The opponents need to grab and hook him, otherwise, he would score 3+ goals a game.

Two hours till game time.

From an outsiders perspective, he does seem to whine a whole lot. And I've seen him take a dive on a few occasions. And his fights are a bit one-sided (from the one or two that I've seen). I think a lot of the backlash Crosby gets is that he has been billed as the next great player when there are a whole host of great players in the league, one of which is Ovechkin.

I don't know if I agree with the sentiment or not, but I heard it put this way: Ovechkin proved he was an elite player. Crosby didn't have to.

At any rate, that's just my .02. Congrats to the Pens.

I guess after tonight, Crosby has put that to bed. The best team won in this series. I will take Crosby over the Russian any day.
