Pens Hockey 2021?

[JMM]

That didn't last long. 1-1

 

[JMM]

This might be the best series in the entire playoffs. NYI was the better team tonight and pretty much neutralized the Bs tonight with their stifling defense.

You don't need to score a ton, just one more than the other team is all that matters.

Pastrnak missed that wide open net and then the Isle's get another lucky unicorn fart goal in the 3rd.

This NY/Boston series is super tight. It can go either way. I'd rather it go to NY.

Vegas in a must win this evening. The only horse I'm lukewarm pulling for in the race.

Playoff hockey....

WIth the close checking, lockdown in neutral zone, physicality all over the ice, and defense first mentality....
Its 90% about good goaltending play...

If you don't have that "horse"......,no sense showing up at the race...

Yep Rask was on it last night and then lady luck took over.

There is a certain amount of luck in the playoffs and the Isle's have a boatload of it. I still think if they manage to get by the B's, then either the Bolts or the Ave's will take care of them.

That Colorado team looks a lot like the Pens did id 16 and 17.

I read where Geno had knee surgery.

Penguins Forward Evgeni Malkin Undergoes Successful Knee Surgery

The Penguins announced today that forward Evgeni Malkin underwent successful surgery on his right knee.

That shot he took from Tinordi must have really shook some things loose. I thought he hit him high. Must have gotten his knee pinned at some point.

Good. We need healthy Geno back, not 15 games and on the IR Geno next year.

He was doing great for the few weeks leading up to that injury. He was definitely the game changer we used to know.

He and Kappanen had a pretty good thing going.

I like to pull for the Jets. They are just snakebit, so I hope that underdog gets the bone once. They simply met a wall in the Habs. No way the win this series, and they may get swept.

Vegas looks pretty deep.
They neutralized the Avs speed and forced them into a physical game. Reaves and McNabb slowed the game down for the top lines. That Karlsson line looks good

 

[Djfan]

Vegas found their mojo for sure

I’m pulling for the winner of the Avs/Knights.
The isles have a good defensive system. I’d honestly like to see them go far

Yeah they did

Surprised they got run over like that.

hmmm I remember some guy we gave away a few years back.

This will go down in history on the same level as not drafting Marino. Letting LV have MAF was the right move. Who knew Murray would fall off the cliff?

Sucks. We'll be OK.

I meant Reaves as well.

The Isles are giving the Bs a good series. They look to be getting stronger. Same thing with Vegas. They have Colorado on the ropes. Max Pacioretty and Mark Stone's line is on fire.

The Islanders are starting to look pretty good. I thought they got outplayed for much of the series against the Pens and that has not been the case against the Bruins. Impressive turnaround from Vegas too. People were talking about Colorado going 16-0 in the playoffs.

 

[Djfan]

Looking forward to watching the Bs get knocked out on Wednesday!

 

[Djfan]

Friggin' Jets. Not sure why, but I always pull for them when we are out. They just can't win. It's lame.

 

[SteelerSask2]

40% seems a bit high. The Ises will hit the Bs, but they will hit back. Plus, they have Rask, not Jarry. If NYI wins more than one game, I'd be surprised.

So I'm guessing you are surprised. The 4th win is the toughest and this series is far from over but the Islanders are every bit as good as the Bruins and one of the 4 or 5 elite teams in the NHL.

I am, actually, i didn't think the Islanders would play as well as they are. I didn't see Rask being chased at home in a pivotal Game 5.
