No, there were even comments on HF about how Subban was "allegedly" holding Crosby's leg - even though he was posting in a thread that had that gif posted 4-5 times in the same thread and on the same page.

Yup, that sucks! I wanted people to defend what Subban did somehow and try and make Crosby look 10X's worse. I need the humor, i just need it!

This just needs to end. Tomorrow, please. I'm exhausted from these past 2 runs and I'm not even a player. Or media for that matter.
If there's another big thing that happens tomorrow that causes stupid backlash like this and we have to wait another 3 days with us also on the brink of elimination... ugh.

Agreed... overly manufactured non-story that only has legs because Subban wants people talking about him as much as possible and the media is gullible and manipulated easily enough they gobble it up.
Which while typical...is very silly.
If I were Subban I'd be busting my ass out there every shift of every game wanting to make/making people discuss me because of my phenomenal play, not because of schoolyard ******** like this.

I honestly am treating this season as a gravy year so a win isnt necessary, but if we win im so trolling every Philly friend i have for the entire summer.. a win ties us with the oil for best post expansion team ever
Agreed.
My nerves, brain, heart, and especially liver...can't take much more of this.

Right?!?!
Besides, it would be one hell of a birthday present to a couple of us if we could wrap this up tomorrow. Winning it the day after our birthday's is cool and all... but we can do better.

I'm more nervous about the fact the Pens seem to only bring their 'A' game when it's a must-win (or as close to a must-win, like Game 5 was) game for them.
So far -- knock on wood -- the Pens have come up big when their season was in jeopardy (Game 7 versus both Washington and Ottawa, Game 5 versus Nashville), but they've failed to show that same killer instinct if they have a bit of breathing room and don't *have* to win a game.
Hopefully tomorrow is when they finally buck that trend and come out with the same effort we saw in Game 5.

Right.
I'm on my eighth 2-4 of beer these playoffs (all of which I have drank by myself), and my 4th bottle of Jager. Also I've had half a bottle of Cuban rum during the BJ's series not to mention I've had 4 six packs of Heineken tall boys between the ECQF's and now. So make that over nine 2-4's technically. Whoops....
Wouldn't be so bad except I'm the only one here who drinks.

I haven't been "that" bad - at least I don't think so... ****... or have I!?. Just managed to go through 6 two-sixes. Plus several drunken nights at the bar where my jeep decided to have a sleep over. Damn. If it wasn't for these playoffs, I'd seriously consider myself a boarder line alchy.

LOL!
What about blow-up couches?
Just gotta get through the next two games - after that we're golden. Hopefully with a win and a hell of a party.

Obviously the results are there so there's some cause for concern but I'm not sure how much I really buy it being a true issue.
In the Columbus series, ya I guess it's true but that was a 3-0 situation on the road where you really do have some room and teams often steal one.
Against Washington I don't know that it was so much of them not having the effort as truly just being outmatched at times in that series and having serious adjustments to make in order to play differently by game 7. I feel the Caps were just the better team at that point in the series and Sid coming off the injury.
Against Ottawa we showed up just fine and played really well. It took Anderson stopping 45/46, an overturned goal, and a 5-3 goal for us to lose a tight 2-1 game. Nothing about that game screams lack of effort... it was just a tough loss in a game we played really well in.
So we will see... like I said over the 2 years there's a lot of history of it but I don't know how much has really been an effort issue. Even last year, the 2 times it happened were vs the Caps, which was a pretty tight even series in each game, and vs the Sharks which was again a game we took a million shots on Jones and had glorious chance after chance and just couldn't buy the goal we needed.
When I see stats like that I actually feel better about it. Stats like that are due for a regression.

But sometimes it takes A LONG time for the stats to even out, Flyers didnt let up at home for 15 years--and even though we played them less, San Jose had beaten us at their home for like 18 years lol:
Most notably during this era was the Penguins' 42-game winless streak at the Spectrum; from February 7, 1974, through February 2, 1989, the Penguins were 0–39–3 at the Spectrum.

LOL!
I remember a public viewing during Soccer World Cup in Germany, where it was allowed to bring your couch. This is how it looked like:
