SCF GAME 2 GDT: Penguins 1 at Red Wings 3

[Jedi 1,865]

Fantastic pressure there at the end of the period!!

[10 Minute Misconduct 104]

Damn how did Franzen miss that open net!

[Dabura 12,232]

"Niklas Ericsson."

God I hate Versus.

[#18 the _Hoss_ 2]

HHH line to end it ! nice!

[ShanahanMan 473]

hahahha, Ericsson gave a pre-determined answer!

Pierre - "take us through that goal"

Eric - "well, we have some good guys so we'll pull through"

[NvrFrgtRussian5 85]

i think some people need to review when to throw the 'pus

Thank God Flip is such a great shooter, or else we wouldn't be ahead right now.

Our defense is being dominated right now. We need to do a better job of cycling the puck in their zone, because there's too much play occuring at our end right now.

I don't expect us to shut them out in the 3rd like we did the last game, because the Pens are just bringing it right now.

Hank and Hossa have had some great chances, but they're still having trouble finishing. Hopefully they'll ice this game for us in the 3rd.

[Firehawk 305]

The wings need to play their strongest period of hockey in this third. They really need another goal to put really put the pressure on Crosby and the Pens.

I hate only these 1 goal leads in such important games!

[Dabura 12,232]

He is commenting on it both ways. Last night it was about the Malkin breakaway that should have been interference.

He just wants more power plays.

He's been talking the same points throughout this entire run. He doesn't want more power plays -- he wants more Pens power plays. And it's nauseatingly evident.

I love the NBC coverage. Every questionable play by the Wings is noted. Every questionable play by the Pens and theres silence.

NBC clearly has an agenda: If the Wings are dominating the Pens, make excuses that its because of non-calls against the Wings. If the Pens are having trouble dominating the Wings, make excuses that its because of non-calls for the Wings.

[Firehawk 305]

I'm glad we aren't the ones down, the Pens have to expend the energy to try to tie up the game...

[servo 15]

So do you think its just a matter of getting our legs underneath us? We need to have a solid 3rd. We can't expect to be so lucky as we were in the 2nd.

To this point other than the last 2 minutes, I don't think we've had very many quality scoring chances have we?

We need to tighten things up a bit, while an insurance goal wouldn't hurt.

NO PENALTIES!!!!!

Yeah, I like how they call out the "interference" that the wings do on every play...give me a break. Every team does it, including the red wings. This ain't a non-contact league...my gawd.

[Coffey77 0]

The call on Malkin was extremely weak...and the hook and slash on Dupuis by Hossa right before your 2nd goal was an obvious penalty.

[syntax 359]

I wish they would mic up Maltby.

I think NHL games are supposed to be rated PG.

[Kingston 21]

what a great second period!!

one more to go! for a 2-0 series lead !

GO WINGS GO!

[Electrophile 3,554]

What a great period!! My sister and I were watching the game in her room. GREAT to see the Wings come back and take the lead. I expect more of the same from them in the 3rd. Let's get #14 up there!!!

I hope Sidney touched the octopus.

Maybe to someone with selective hearing.

[SuperNovaXll 124]

Good period. Got a little soft towards the end again but....If we play 20 full minutes of hockey coming up........ 2-0 lead.

I'm hearing more love for the Red Wings than I am for the Pens from pretty much everyone.

I wonder if after this game we're going to hear that we're still trying to recover from the CHicago series. Usually after you win a series in 5 you get 5 days off. Instead, this is the equivalent to coming off a 7 game series like with Anaheim, where we were in bad need of time off according to Babs after game 2...

In this case, it's even worse because the games are back to back.

Am I reading this right? Flip a great shooter?

So the Wings fans believe they are getting raped by the Pens and should have 20 power plays

and

I'm speechless.

[HanKarin40 7]

Did anyone else catch the"f***in ****" when Lebda and Crosby were battling in the corner with about 5 minutes left in the 2nd? It was really loud!

Keep it up boys! One more period, play it strong!!!
