Sticks up and elbows high when Crosby is near you. Watch your fingers, they have a nasty habit of falling off around him.

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

I think I could handle this game better without that annoying horn and Eddie the Oaf and Peeeeeeeuuuuuuuuuu.

[chaps80 1,591]

Sens draw first blood! 1-0 series lead!

[Dabura 12,232]

yussssss

[chaps80 1,591]

Craig Andersen first star of the game. He's playing lights out right now.

I didn't think Ottawa had a chance. The refs took the game over in the 3rd completely put the whistles away. Penguins were getting away with murder. Good game. Keep shocking the world sens

Watched most of this game and I honestly cannot cheer for the Sens.  The style of game they play is garbage, reminds me of the 90s Devils

Don't think of it as cheering for the Sens. Think of it as cheering against the Pens.

Pens played their worst game of the playoffs and still almost won. I don't think Ottawa has a chance.

They have a very good chance.  The Penguins have to run out of gas sometime.  That's why it's so hard to repeat, especially when you have injuries.

BTW, Erik Karlsson was the 7th defenseman chosen in the 2008 draft. You think some teams may be regretting that now?

thats what makes the draft so exciting...15th overall that year and we have a 9 this year. 

i read some stat on karlsson in the playoff...apparently he is much better at defense then what i thought...

Ottawa at 5v5 these playoffs:

With Karlsson on ice: 12GF, 6GA
Without Karlsson: 10GF, 18GA

Hey, whatever it takes to beat the Pens. I don't want them getting any closer to taking over the Wings as last team to win back to back Cups. The Sens can get demolished in the Finals for all I care.

Yep. Both teams have played the same amount of games in getting to the third round, but the Pens had a much harder second round than the Sens did. The Sens had a bit more rest too, even if it was a couple days. That factors in. Plus the Pens have played a ton of hockey this season and last. Sens are fresher.

[toby91_ca 620]

Not sure, but looks like PIT may be down another defenseman and it's their next best one (Shultz).  I'm not sure how they'd have any shot at winning with the Dmen they are missing.

This man is a professional athlete

....and Pittsburgh cheats to win. Uncle Gary ruling strong.

How did they cheat to win?  I only saw the third period, but it seemed pretty even, nothing wrong with the goal either.

After the way he acted at the end of Game 2 with Turris, I'm glad.  Maybe I'm just not paying close enough attention, but Crosby seems a lot more mature now than he was 5 years ago.  Malkin... he's still the same jerk that attacked Z at the end of Game 2 in the 09 Finals.
