Broken wrist for Krejci

[Octopus's Garden 147]

It'd be nice if the Pens had to at least try before the finals.

This was the first thing I thought when I heard about this, as well. While I do think that Boston is more than capable of beating the Pens with the way that both teams have performed thus far in the playoffs, eventually the injuries (first to Sturm, now to Kreicji) are going to be too much. I would say that a healthy Boston would probably have the upper hand over the Pens given their performance against two laughable Eastern Conference teams thus far, but the odds are starting to stack up against them. It must be nice not having to work too hard to win your conference.

Nonetheless, I'll be rooting for Boston should the Wings fall to the Sharks because Savard, Lucic, and Chara are some of my favourite non-Wing players.

When i was a little kid I loved Ray Bourque and Cam Neely. Thus I was a bruins fan for those years before I became a redwings fan. I will be rooting for the bruins and regardless of injuries I still think that a hot goaltender can spoil any series, and Rask is a very good goalie with some momentum behind him.

The Pens would have to get by Montreal first. Don't think you can discount how much having Staal out of the line up hurts either.

Is a Pens victory over Montreal really in doubt?

How often do you flip/flop teams? Just kidding though, as a kid (in the 80s), I was an Oilers fan, for obvious reasons, didn't really have any real ties to any teams being from Nova Scotia (my dad has always been a Canadiens fan, which for some reason caused me to hate the Canadiens). I wasn't a Gretzky guy though, I liked Messier. I've been a Wings fan since the late 80s though, after I got a little older.

Well, they are only up 2-1....Washington was up 3-1 and lost. Also, they experienced the same troubles with them in game 3 as they did in game 2. It was tied 0-0 going into the 3rd. Fact is, they have only scored 2 non empty netters in the last 2 games.

Tonight's game is in Montreal, if the Pens lose, the series is tied 2-2, not sure how you can't have some doubt. If the Pens win, you do have to like their chances going back home with a 3-1 lead though.

Edit: glad they start at 7 and the Wings at 7:30, gives me a chance to catch some of that game before the Wings start and in between periods. Then again, Montreal does make the game pretty boring to watch.

[Travis 576]

The Bruins can not catch a break.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Ouch. Not good for them.

Why does God love the Pens so much?

I really like bostons chances against the pens just because of how good Rask has been playing in the post season. I cant imagine the bruins going away with out a fight, especially after the savard hit.

So the last 4 series Pittsburgh has played;

vs Det-Datsyuk out

vs Ott-Michalek,Kovalev,and Kuba out

vs Mtl-Markov out

vs Bos(possible)-Krejci out

and during this time the only major injury they had is Staal who was supposed to be out for the playoffs and now might be back this round. Plus, they won the lottery for a once in a lifetime chance to draft a guy like Crosby.That is some good luck they've had recently.
