Islanders got what they deserved trying to run Jarry out of the arena
Exactly. Screw em!Islanders got what they deserved trying to run Jarry out of the arena
Even when he doesnt score, he comes up big.CROSBY!
I think it was worth it!! LOLI'm taking today off work to watch this. Let's go Pens!
7Please don't bomb me - a stupid question - is this best of 5 or 7?
What you don't understand, it was part of my plan. I was hoping to look like a fool like SMF usually does in some sort of reverse karma! LOL@recruitsreadtheseboards I told you your game 1 post was over dramatic and premature!
Stick with the plan. It's only 2-1.What you don't understand, it was part of my plan. I was hoping to look like a fool like SMF usually does in some sort of reverse karma! LOL
Come on guys, WE HAD THEM ALL THE WAY !!!!!!!!!!
Good stuff.Had company stop in for the second half of the game, and I'm toasted.
Resilience. Resilient. This team might just have what it takes to seize one last Cup. UNREAL resilience.
Jeff Carter. Turbo. These are the guys we desperately needed to be great. They were great tonight. FANTASTIC work.
Every single time we looked to be down and out - same old story - it's Carter, it's Tanev, it's Carter again. And then throw our dominant L4 on top of it - the BART trio. They absolutely crushed at times tonight. Unreal resilience... Highly resilient... I don't have words... Finally our team cares again!
And Zucker! My God - he's been building towards that goal for weeks it seems. Can he get hot? Could it possibly happen? I've seen signs here and there....
Crosby was unable to overcome his linemates, but was 1st star of the last few minutes IMO - he was determined. I never really bought into this Sid-the-super-leader persona once things went sideways under Bylsma. But I'm kind of starting to see it....
That was the gutsiest Pens game since 2017.
Lots of things NOT to like about it, but it doesn't matter right now.
The matchup game was incredible. Sully has to be careful with who he puts behind L2. He did a great job avoiding Barzal, but Trotz went all in mid-game on his L4 against our L2, and they got caved without Dumo-Letang behind them.
That was a TOUGH TOUGH game. Every time they had momentum, we came right back. I can't tell you how big of a team win this is. HUGE win.
Embarrassing display in the 3rd re: discipline and the refs allowing the Isles to turn it into The Circus....
This game was both an incredibly exciting playoff game as well as a total disgrace to the sport IMO. God I hate NHL leadership!
Sullivan has to handle this carefully - they gutted out the win, but they lost their composure, and it almost cost them the game. There has to be accountability.
I need to cool off right now, and my team won the damn game.
good lord.

Hahaha - we slowly migrated onto our deck during period 2 and turned on the outside TV. Suddenly some neighbors showed up and yeah - drinks on a school night. 😂Had company stop in for the second half of the game, and I'm toasted.

That's playoff hockey for you. It turns us all into alcoholic raging lunatics.Hahaha - we slowly migrated onto our deck during period 2 and turned on the outside TV. Suddenly some neighbors showed up and yeah - drinks on a school night. 😂
Tanev is way off his rocker. And I love it.Good stuff.
Tanev is my new hero.
The Isles are built to beat to the Pens in the playoffs and we're up. Let's keep it going.

Yeah, you have to wonder if Trotz is going to try and turn Game 4 into a complete shitshow like the 3rd period because it sort of worked. It gets the Pens off of rolling lines. Hopefully, with different refs, they will call some of it and the Pens will convert a PP goal or 2 that would stop this nonsense.Had company stop in for the second half of the game, and I'm toasted.

Penguins aside, that 3rd is one of the great playoff periods I have seen ever. That had just about everything. Glad we got the W!Best Pens game since the Cups!
Led by Crosby, Carter, Tanev, Letang, and #35. That game might make my personal top 10.
The fact that the Pens responded to every Islander goal, and they never buckled is huge. Both in confidence for the Pens and maybe start to weigh on the Islanders and their incredible resolve.Best Pens game since the Cups!

I was in attendance. The Igloo upper decks were literally swaying......that was just an explosion of emotion.
I'd love for Goalieman to breakdown Belfour on Mario's game winner. LOL. Nice rebound control Ed!!!
My "expert" analysis on that goal is that when Belfour looked up and saw the rebound on Mario's stick, he soiled his pants !!!!!! (LOL)..... I was at that game also.I'd love for Goalieman to breakdown Belfour on Mario's game winner. LOL. Nice rebound control Ed!!!
It definitely was amazing and HUGE how the Pens responded to the two Islanders tying goals there in the 3rd. I’m glad they did it relatively quickly both times to ease my tension. Because, I’ll admits, I wasn’t feeling very confident for the Pens each time it got tied up. The Isles were really taking it to em.The fact that the Pens responded to every Islander goal, and they never buckled is huge.

Q: What sport offers a fan "edge of your seat" excitement every other day for a month?I think most of Pittsburgh remembers where they were that game and when we beat the North Stars 8-0 to win the first cup.
The NHL playoffs are something else.
