Welcome back Pasha. The team and your fans missed you.

Dats feet do not affect his stick and that showed tonight. Him and Helm had some pretty great stick work to keep plays alive. I think for all the people trying to compare Dats to Yzerman, you got to see a little of that tonight. There were times when it was obvious Dats was playing through pain. I think win or lose we will find out how bad his foot really was after this playoff.

You never want to give another team bulletin board material in the finals. That's regardless of who you are and what team you are playing. It's just not needed. This was especially bad. You don't say something like that knowing that the reporters are all about your team and will print every word you say as if it's a new gospel of the Bible.

nice to hear the commentators at NBC give Ozzie some love in postgame. "there were times when Osgood could have gone out got a sandwich and coffee and come back not missing a beat still with a shutout" Milbury "Osgood now only allowed 2 goals against the Penguins at Joe Louis in 6 Finals games." Pang Way to go Ozzie.

how many Pens fans that were super excited that the series was going to be called closer are now going to complain about "ridiculous calls". BTW really classy taking the slash at Dats hurt foot there Pens.

One can only hope. I know they are going to feed off the crowd in game 6 but if we come out like this in game 6 we could take the crowd out of it pretty fast.

I as a fellow man and playoff beard brother am jealous of the beastliness of Z's beard.

awesome. thanks for joining up Don. Good to see you took time out buying some new horrible bright outfits for your coaches corner segment to let us know how you feel.

yes. when he came out of the box, the fans chanted Crosby sucks for the rest of the power play.

What a coincidence. I heard the Wings starting 5 made calls to Fleury's mom last night.oooo burn.

well so much for that no bs penalty early in the 1st.

dang the Pens fans let Don Cherry register on their site. That's the same Eurohating CanadianSuperiority bulls*** that Cherry spews every week.

Ken Holland has more points than Crosby at this point in the playoffs.

Got my Yzerman jersey from them. top notch work. nothing to fear ordering from them.

I concur. I would say if it happens and the Hossa hoists the cup, then it should be sent around as an official office memo.

Guys c'mon it's Pitt. Of course they are going to hate on Dats. There is no room in their game for a complete forward. Only forwards who score goals and suck on defense.

Don't believe so. I feel Kenny and the boys should be in contact with our friend from last year.

Okay guys here is the question. For those that have NHL Home Ice on XM or Sirus let me ask you this. I forget the guys name in the morning, but he is a hardcore Bettman fan. Thinks he's great. Basically this morning said something (and I've heard the clip replayed for advertising over and over again) to the extent of you would have to be an idiot to think there is some kind of conspiracy with the league or officials favoring a certain team. My question is with the NBA ref recently being the target of a FBI probe into fixing games is it still ridiculous to think a referee or league officials may act with questionable ethics. I mean I know both us and some Pens fans feel that the officials have favored the other side, but why are there so many people with officials having been caught cheating in other sports, that think to suggest an official or the league is siding with one team or another a ridiculous idea

I don't think it is happening either. I also don't think based on what has happened in other leagues it's completely ridiculous for some to believe it has happened either. After getting a friend to watch the games with me, I've realized our inconsistant rules are part of what makes it hard to attract fans. When Malkin attacked Zetterberg I said man that's gonna be a one game suspension (stupid me). The next game my friend goes man that guy is eating ya'll up I thought he was suspended. That's complete crap. Sadly I had to shake my head and agree with him.

Yes it's a mockumentary. it's called This is Spinal Tap.

I did hear rumors last year of the id's being checked but only in reference to purchasing Octopus.

what's with Ledbda's I will eat your children look behind babcock?

But this one goes to 11

It is a decision the refs made after ignoring several. Good teams play through adversity and the Wings will overcome this just like they overcame Hossa's goal getting waved off earlier these playoffs. It makes for an interesting series but game 4 will be the last one in Pittsburgh this season.
