It actually said that? :lol:
Here's my all-time fav "penalty"..

McSorley and gang would just pummel anyone who was near Gretzky. I always wished someone like that teamed up with Mario earlier in the 90's and punished anyone going near Mario.
Kevin Stevens?

Stevens? Perhaps, before he got his face smashed in and got hooked on crack cocaine :roll:

OK I am not a coach, far from it. But I have a hard time agreeing with what Michel T. does in these games. Why aren't the guys just giving Osgood a barrage of shots, constantly, if the defencemen stay 'at home' there should not be so many fast breaks for Detroit. It is so hard to watch...

cratch:
Malkin, what the heck? Is he really hurt? and if he is hurt then bench him and rotate your lines? He has coughed it up far too many times...but also, he is playing off his natural position on the pp, hasn't MT learned anything from the tapes?
I am pretty frustrated :nooooo

Pens need to 'steal one' in Detroit. That'll show 'em. :thumb:
(Intented to make you all chuckle)
but, then again....they may just do it.

Zetterberg pretty much locked up the Conn Smythe with his play on that 5-on-3.

when my dispatcher told me i had to leave town tomorrow at 4am, i should have known we would have a game like this. i`m going to be zombie like tomorrow. if the pens can pull this out, i like their chances of coming all the way back. tire the old guys out

OMG :jump
All I can say is: repeating what Darryl Sydor said after the game:
"THAT WAS A HECK OF A GAME"

hock:
Go Pens!!

Not looking good for the Pens so far. Wings score first and then kill of another 5-on-3. Stanley may be making an appearance tonight.

I hope you're right...Malkin's goal late in the 2nd was huge, hopefully they can keep it going in the 3rd.

Another wild finish, that was soo close at the end.
