GDT: PO Game 2: Columbus at Pittsburgh | 4/19 7PM EDT

[MoeBartoli]

On the plus side, Boll is having his best game in quite some time.

 

[Dumais]

Was Niskanen (sp?) throwing punches @ Atkinson? It sure looked like it...

 

[CaliBuck]

That sure looked like a holding the stick penalty that didn't get called.

It was obvious holding. Ridiculous. Can't touch the Cindy's without getting called and the Cindy's are just perfect rule-abiding hockey players.

 

[eljefe72]

Damn!

 

[CaliBuck]

This should easily be a tied game. Frustrating.

 

[Samkow]

We caught lightning in a bottle the second half of that period. Hope we can keep it up for the 3rd. I wanna leave the "No playoff wins" club.

 

[Jyrki]

Way better period. At this point, it's goaltending giving the Penguins the edge.

 

[db2011]

some kinda finish to the 2nd. these guys can beat these guys, I wish they wouldn't have such crappy moments.

Here's to more of the end of the 2nd all through the 3rd.

 

[Halfboard]

gotta keep firing the puck at Flower....................he looks very beatable tonight

 

[EspenK]

Calvert came up big in the 2nd period.

 

[Bobcat110]

Even with 3 penalties against...that may be the best period of playoff hockey in this franchise's history. I hope they can continue it and give us a chance.

 

[db2011]

Gotta tie this up before the end of the 3rd. First time we've controlled the game.

this still stands, but I'd rather take the lead before the end of the 3rd. I want more out of this than a point.

not much competition but yes, they were pretty good.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Only dman showing anything is jj

No points.....Best of seven Winner take all

 

[jackets4life]

20 more minutes like that, we might just walk out of there with a regulation win.

 

[Jackets Fan]

Outstanding forecheck by the Jackets in the 2nd. They're at their best when they're right in the opposition's faces and forechecking hard. The problem is they only do that for a period or two, then they sit back.
If the Jackets com out and play the way they did in the 2nd, then I like our chances. Of course Bob has to be solid as well.
Go Jackets!

 

[Samkow]

Autocorrect turned me into Bill there. Was supposed to say 2nd.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Didn't pull Bob, obviously. I believe Richards made the decision that if this team is going to become anything, do anything, he has to play better, and to give him the chance to do it.

Team played well to finish that period. It goes without saying the start of this period is huge. Probably the only thing huger is the end of this next period.

 

[NotWendell]

No points.....Best of seven Winner take all

This is survival of the fittest.

 

[CaliBuck]

If they play the 3rd the way they played the 2nd, they will win this game. Come on boys.

 

[Bobcat110]

20 more minutes like that, we might just walk out of there with a regulation win.

Even our first ever OT playoff game would be a step forward.

 

[Geki]

Stop saying puck poise!!

 

[DJA]

A point? It's the playoffs

Damn I wish there were about 3 minutes left in that period

 

[Bobcat110]

Stop saying puck poise!!

and puck luck
