GDT: ECQF Game 4|Pittsburgh Penguins @ New York Islanders|07.May.2013|7:00EST/4:00PST

[Fire Shero*]

The Isles are fast but we're standing around too much.

That said, we're very much in it. Keep some faith guys. We're up 2-1 and it doesn't matter too much if we lose this one. If we can pull it out that will be huge, though.

Some of you guys are just too relaxed. It doesn't matter much if they lose this game? Are you kidding me? They would have the momentum and its a best of 3 games series. They win this game the series is all but over, they lose and it's a whole new series. Huge game.

 

[Waffle Fries]

They were just about the only line that generated any o zone time at all, though.

Which is actually really sad

 

[66-30-33]

Wow, the refs are letting Hamonic get away with murder. The call on Orpik was weak too. The Pens still need to cut out the sloppy play, but seriously these refs are so 1 sided, and this coming from someone who hates to call out the officiating!

Iginla really should have been called making it a 5 on 3, that was a legit penalty that went missed. The fans are in the Pens heads for sure, though.

 

[IcedCapp]

Say whaaaa? These penalties are real penalties. The Pens need to shape up.

not rigged, but the isn't the calls, but the fact that Islanders are getting away with some stuff that the Pens aren't.

 

[MrBurghundy]

Let's kill this one and then the PP's will start coming to us.

One can only hope.

 

[Dying Alive]

Minus the penalties and all the pressure they got because of them I completely agree. Limited turnovers, smart plays with the puck, physical, a lot to like in my opinion. Islanders are always going to get chances no matter how good we play, just have to keep moving our feet and making smart plays.

This is what I think too. The period was surprisingly even. 10 shots for them 7 for us, despite them having almost 5 minutes of PP time. Hits were 13 to 9. It wasn't as lopsided as it seemed due to the constant PKing.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Best advice for everyone tonight: Just avoid the playoff board thread. There's literally no good that can come out of it for anyone.

 

[Snooki Stackhouse]

The third/fourth lines aren't getting it done. Complete dead weight.

 

[Shrimper]

If Murray and Eaton are too slow to get to the forwards to hit, then try and match-up against their slower players. I don't want Murray going anywhere near Grabner.

Who the **** is saying that it doesn't matter if we lose this???? Of course it matters, this isn't the season, we would be completely ****ed if that went down, we need to take this one no matter how, dirty, fancy or lucky. Just win it and take it at home

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Think isles are more worried than we are. They do all that....score...and then we tie it right back up. They get 3 pps with nothing to show for( if we kill this one) while we've had none. They have to feel like no matter what they do..we have too much talent for them to win

 

[ColePens]

New period and we are closing FAST on the 1k mark. New thread is up

 

[Coach Travis]

Well, let's look for the positives:

• We seem to be committing to taking care of our own end first
• Fleury looks on his game
• Iginla-Malkin-Neal got one goal and almost created another
• PK is playing well
