Amazing the things the rags have gotten away with that have been instant penalties for the pens. It's been a long time since I've seen a series this biased.

Penguins just don't look good enough.

But they can still win this game.

This has to be the worst series in the first round, right?

Without question. It was close, but not anymore.

The first 5 periods of Vancouver/Calgary was pretty terrible (but I might have had my opinion swayed by a pretty lackluster crowd in Vancouver), NYI/Washington wasn't great but is improving and Detroit/Tampa still is overwhelmingly meh but at least it's because Tampa's run the play or Mrazek's putting on a show.

This NYR/Pittsburgh is a lot of turnovers and a lot of NYR powerplays.

Just for fun, if I had to rank:

1. Chicago/Nashville
2. Anaheim/Winnipeg
3. Montreal/Ottawa
4. Vancouver/Calgary
5. St. Louis/Minnesota
6. Washington/NYI
7. Tampa/Detroit
8. NYR/Pittsburgh

There's no excuse to be choosing NYR/Pittsburgh over Montreal/Ottawa tonight :laugh:

Probably the worst of the 4 games so far, but the hockey is still miles ahead. And it's an elimination game.

Ottawa crowd is quiet... but I remember that quiet tension, borderline comatose feeling from Game 6 OT in 2012. So I get it.

Ottawa avoids the sweep.

And I would have been pretty excited if the Pens scored there with like a half a minute left.

Ottawa avoids the sweep. And all they had to do was just shut the Habs out completely.

Now game 4 in Winnipeg --- it's rough watching a team on the brink of elimination in their own building. Even with the Schadenfreude factor.

Liquid gold velveeta shells commercial and stupid geek in the Honda commercial, these commercials are aired EVERY game this playoffs and I'm far past sick of them already.

There's one other really annoying one that I can't think of tonight. Good thing I didn't see it tonight.

If Pittsburgh wins this game, they exceed my expectations for this series.

Really need a win here.
