We are the younger team and should have more energy. No excuses. Can't let that old team skate around us like they did game 1. We need a solid Trouba hit to turn things around. He has the ability to turn games around with solid 'head looking down' hits.
 
Our D needs to just park themselves near Igor instead of running around in the D Zone. Pittsburgh is not a cycling team and that will stop their cross crease play. Keep one forward high so the D-men dont have so much time. On the OT winner Marino had almost 4 seconds with the puck up high with no pressure and casually walked to the middle to shoot the puck that Gina tipped in.

Put in a solid 60 min effort and we have this.

Just stop the overpassing, with goalies like DeMingus and D'Oreo, get pucks on net. They'll rebound and position themselves into trouble.

SHOOT THE DAMN PUCK - cause chaos around that net!!!

LET'S GO BOYS!!!!
 
Pick on Crosby..nobody touches him..he is a dirt bag and gets away with a slash right in front of ref...I was at game 1 and Crosby is always having small talk with all the officials..total lobbying effort all game...we need to step in and solve this!
 
No more of this passive BS that we saw after the 1st.

Go smash the f*** out of these clowns. If the Refs want to come to their rescue again, so be it. Sitting back and letting Pittsburgh dictate the pace of play is not the answer. Getting in their face and beating them into submission is. Not only did they not like it, they didn't have an answer for it.

And Panarin needs to pull his head out of his ass. Kreider too.
 
You can't drop the first two at home and expect to have anything other than a long shot at taking the series.

As close to a must win as you can conceive here.

Penguin's veterans stepped up first game, now our guys need to. This should be a win, and if they lose, it would be extremely disappointing. They have talked about changing their reputation and proved it during the regular season, time to prove it tonight, for when it really matters.
 
We don't even need to physically abuse this team to win. We don't need to have an "aggressive start" where the 4th line is rumbling the boards in the first 2 minutes. That stuff is great but it does nothing for the W.
SHOOT. In volume. Non stop. You have the puck and a look, DO NOT PASS. Shoot on the 3rd stringer.
We can't coach this team to stop Pitt from getting their shots. So we have to match their volume. That is the surest way to ensure the win.
 
Play tighter around Igor and they’ll win. All but one goal last game was a result of leaving someone untouched and open at the net.

Their D is pretty shallow and our forwards are deep. We’ll get goals imo, just need to prevent them.

Also what happened to Joseph? Did they trade him or did he fall off? Thought he looked good for them in the past.
