LETS GO PENS!

Ray Shero* · May 7, 2013

This will be a big PK.

Shrimper · May 7, 2013

Big 2nd. Early goal for us would be good.

Kovifan27 · May 7, 2013

Remember when we played Boston in the regular season and we were physically punishing them? That would be nice right about now.

pensfan71 · May 7, 2013

PKers will need to be huge here

IcedCapp · May 7, 2013

Let's get some more PK time in, practice makes permanent.

Trollin' with the Homies.

CrozJawz* · May 7, 2013

I don't know why everyone is so surprised at all the penalties. This is how the joke that is the NHL operates. Everyone whines and cries in the last game, that Crosby dove and drew a penalty and that the game was "gifted" to the Pens because of it.

We all should have know that the refs would be looking for ANYTHING to call the Pens for and the Pens themselves SHOULD have know that. Malkin taking a lazy hooking call, Orpik roughing guys up after the whistle, Cooke tripping guys behind the play. Sure, the Isles embellished those calls but the refs don't care, they are looking to "even things up" after the last game.

The NHL reffing is BS, but the Pens have to be smarter than that, yet for some reason they continuously fall into this trap of taking dumb penalties.

But besides the penalties, this team continues to look like garbage. They continue to allow the Isles to cross the blueline with speed, while giving them a 6 foot buffer. They continue to be unable to find a way through the neutral zone as the Isles clog it up. They continue to turn the puck over and feed the Isles' rush. That turnover from Kunitz in the offensive zone is inexcusable. Nabby has been weak with his glove hand and Koon had an opportunity to take the shot, but instead forced a pass to nobody and it resulted in an odd man rush for the Isles. STOP DOING THAT! They continue to be unable to clear the zone and it directly led to the Islander goal.

It's the same ****, different game. I feel like I am watching the Flyers series from last year all over again. Stop TALKING about fixing things and actually fix them!

Allie Kitsune · May 7, 2013

Tough to be physical when we get thrown in the box if we even think about breathing on someone in blue.

Shrimper · May 7, 2013

Huge PK here. Here we go!

Ugene Magic · May 7, 2013

Kill this and move on.

Tasty Biscuits · May 7, 2013

I hope that Iginla chance doesn't end up costing us.

Duffy13 · May 7, 2013

I am so glad that Tavares can't pass the puck... take away his shooting lanes and MAKE him be a playmaker... I'll take that chance over him being the shooter...

Letang was good, I think the Norris nomination is helping.

Also I think the game commentary is making it seem that we are worse than we are... they are really playing up to the Isles... and really, what a great story for them if the Isles win... Every Isles play is great and ours doesn't get that much of a mention because it's expected.

We're not that bad, it wasn't that bad of a period... Fleury was a bit shaky but he made some good saves.

Loads to build on here... GPG 2nd Period!!!

Coach Travis · May 7, 2013

Well, we escaped that period with a tie. Let's hope we see a different Pens team this period.

Waffle Fries · May 7, 2013

Dejan Kovacevic @Dejan_Kovacevic
Adams goes down to block shot in high slot. If Glass does that -- or anything -- on Strait, #Isles have zero goals right now. #TribHKY

I thought this was funny in a sad, pathetic kind of way.

HuskerTornado · May 7, 2013

Orpik looking good

fate · May 7, 2013

orpik with the backspin on that clear lol

Stad · May 7, 2013

Huge kill

Shrimper · May 7, 2013

Big kill. Now get it out.

End of Line · May 7, 2013

Good kill boys.

pensfan71 · May 7, 2013

Thank you boys, good job

IcedCapp · May 7, 2013

Did Capuano just say 'let's trap" ?

Ragamuffin Gunner · May 7, 2013

big kill

Dying Alive · May 7, 2013

So Capuano complained to the referee's supervisor? That explains quite a bit.

pensfan71 · May 7, 2013

What a shocker, no penalty there

It's almost as if all the Penguins players dodged that puck. I have no clue how it made it through those bodies.
