Just saw that. Sneeeeaaaaakkkkyyyy.

Malkins dive after the hit where he slid and tripped someone though, could be called.

refs not being a factor. great game so far

The Pens have had more scoring chances, but the Sens are hanging tough.  This is a instant classic for sure.

Penguin fans littering the ice.  What a bunch of morons.

Lol fans throwing crap on the ice...

[GMRwings1983 8,803]

These fans need to stop embarrassing themselves.  It's bad enough that they live in s***tsburgh.

[chaps80 1,591]

Stay classy Pittsburgh. Hot dog hound didn't score. Clearly over the net.

Throwing s*** on the ice DURING play? New low there.

It's hilarious, the fans think Kessel scored based on replays, but they clearly don't have access to all the replays that show it pretty clearly on top of the net, not under bar.

[GMRwings1983 8,803]

If the Pens win, they should play games 1 and 2 on Saturday and Sunday.  See how they like it.

That was ***.  Number 24 for Ottawa isn't going to feel great after that.  Had a chance to make a play at the blue line.  

Mila Kunitz (that Hudler faced punk) scores the goal.

Don't get me wrong, Ottawa had a great run, but they were definitely wayyy lucky to get this far. NYR dominated them and somehow lost 4 fluke games.

Matching up against Pittsburgh's centermans is gonna be trouble for Nashville without Fisher. Pittsburgh in 6. Repeat champs.

Only turned it on for the end of the 3rd, but what I saw, Pens deserved that. I thought they dominated overtime.

They dominated because Scarface refused to send extra forecheckers.  I don't know how Ottawa actually planned on winning the game. You have to go after it, not expect it to come your way by defending and hoping for a mistake. Very safe approach compared to the Pens approach in OT.

I'm out, can't do overtime. If pens lose great, but if they win, I will throw up if I see those bandwagon fans celebrating...

Just figured I'd drop in, puke, then leave.  

Interestingly, they picked up Prince of Wales trophy again.  Either it will curse them and they'll lose in the finals, or maybe cure teams of the superstition that they can't touch the conference trophy, so there's something positive either way.  I hate that teams can't celebrate a major accomplishment.

The Pens are going to be the favorite against a scrappy Nashville team.  I do agree that the Pens had the better scoring chances.  The type of system that Ottawa plays is one that depends on bending but not breaking.  They just broke in Game 7 against a superior team. 

I just hate the thought of the Pens winning another cup.  All the years they tanked and picked up two generational players got them this far.  Makes me wish the Wings would tank for 6 years to get a couple more generational players so they could do the same thing.  The problem is that they are too proud to do that.

ughhhhhh 

I hope Nashville smokes them. I would love to see PK raise the cup.

[GMRwings1983 8,803]

If Nashville is healthy, I take them to win, but I can't see them doing it without their top centerman.

the last two times they won the cup they touched the trophy,2008 they didn't touch it. There was no way they weren't going to handle it tonight.

The Pens are missing Letang, and tonight they didn't have Hornqvist and they still won.  All the injuries on this team and they are finding a way to win.  That says a lot about the character of the Pens.

[chaps80 1,591]

The game ends on a s*** goal like that.

Hahahaha Murray "I thought we deserved this one, we were the better team all series long".

No, you weren't. You didn't even play as good as the goalie across the ice from you.

Yeah, but losing your top centerman is worse than any other injury.  The Pens wouldn't be in the Finals without Crosby. They've had an impressive run for sure, though.  I just wish the Finals would start sooner so these bastards couldn't get any rest.

LOL this is a clownshow, quit posting. Pittsburgh had far more scoring chances than them in this series. Craig Anderson playing like god doesn't change the fact that Pittsburgh as a team was better.
