2016-17 Around the NHL Thread 53: 2017 Stanley Cup Champions, the Pittsburgh Penguins

[bl02]

as much as i wanted to get to ecf how do you beat a team like the pens plus the refs?

 

[I Eat Crow]

Saros has to go in for the rest of the game.

Rinne is awful away from home ice. Wake the team up.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Anyone who claims the Refs don't have a Crosby bias aren't watching the games. This is just as bad as the Boston Celtics playing home games on the Parquet floors in the 80s.

 

[mike14]

Well, looks like Pittsburgh is going to get TWO (2) chances to repeat.

Seriously impressive, no Letting is big hole to fill.

It must be nice to have the 2 best centres in the world...

 

[Machinehead]

Again, Pens haven't done much outside of the goals.

Preds could get back in this game, but Saros has to be in.

Its crazy but even without Crosby when malkin feels like dominating he can.

 

[THE BIG WHISTLE]

Game is far from over. If the preds don't win this one they won't win the cup. Got to win on the road.

 

[bl02]

well at least the best player that the US has seen in very long time if not ever has scored big goal

 

[LORDE]

I turned it off.

Refs want the Pens obviously.

Maybe they'll do the same for the Preds on sat?

Maybe not.

Milbury: Subban had it coming.

Did I miss something here?

 

[bl02]

Rinne has to come out right now but besides first goal (i know its a big goal to give up) i can't fault him for goals 2 and 3 but he has not looked comfortable out there.

 

[Boruto]

Milbury: Subban had it coming.

Did I miss something here?

last 40 years of Mike Milbury?

 

[bl02]

can you imagine if PK was doing that to crosbys head. just disgusting what he gets away with

 

[mike14]

I turned it off.

Maybe not.

I turned off Game 1 after the 1st period for the same reason and the skipped 2 and 3. Watched 4 because I was home and I'll leave todays game on in the background; but this is the first SCF where I've derived no pleasure from watching it

Haha well I was thinking in this series

 

[member 116805]

Saros in

 

[THE BIG WHISTLE]

Maybe not.

Blaming the refs is the laziest excuse ever. They suck but they aren't in favour of any certain team.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Rinne yanked finally.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

welp this is over

 

[bl02]

getting embarrassed

 

[Boris Zubov]

Aaaaaaaannnd....I'm done watching.

 

[mike14]

Agreed, the PK/Crosby penalties had no bias at all...

 

[Boruto]

wow, another softie by Rinne. Sauron not off to a great start. The Pingus are really ramming home the "don't need many chances" ****ck.

 

[RangerBlues]

I really dislike Crosby.

 

[bl02]

also lets not overlook matchups. pens get the final line change and they can create huge mismatches with the pathetic 5/6 pairing of the preds
