Pens looking like shit so far

 

[Alone]

They're up 1-0!

 

[Cuda1447]

Go Pens!

 

[TraumaRN]

Good period by both teams, but kinda cheap that the center ice ref called a penalty for a scrum that was happening behind the net, especially considering the other ref was 10 feet from the play and didn't so much as blink. If they are going to make those kinda calls they need to be made both ways, as both teams were happily tripping, shoving and cross-checking each other.

And just to beat a dead horse, if i was drinking every time they mentioned crosby i'd be wasted so badly, i'd need my stomach pumped.

 

[Slew Foot]

ooo nice shot by filpula

 

[Alone]

Oh fuck yeah Detroit.

 

[Train]

maybe getting your appendix removed a few days before the finals is the secret to a bullet from the blue line.

 

[alphatarget1]

The Red Wings are... scary.

 

[MrMatt]

octopus on the ice!

 

[Train]

I'll give the first period to the Pens, they really stepped up the intensity, and they needed that.

Wings made adjustments, matched the pens, and took the second.

 

[Slew Foot]

Pens look outmatched out there, they cant get anything going.

 

[Slew Foot]

Heh, Wings get lucky. If that was MAF that puck would have bounced off his ass and in.

 

[dbk]

lol nice attempt MAF

 

[Train]

I think Abdelkader just earned himself an NHL contract. he wont be going back to the minors anymore after this series.

 

[n7]

Pens are effed

I figured this would happen...another Wings cup win coming soon :frown:

 

[lupi]

gonna be an amazing comeback if the pens manage to take the series, but not looking good so far.

 

[xSauronx]

holy crap :Q that coulda been a good fight!

 

[Train]

jeez I knew Crosby was a crybaby, but Malkin too?

 

[lupi]

5 on 3, why not just declare the game over refs.

 

[Slew Foot]

At least Malkin went head to head, and not punch a guy in the nads from behind

More than likely they'll give it to Talbot (or whatever) for pushing Osgood (even though he embellished it) which set off Zetterberg than Malkin.
