sens playing a bit dirty and getting away with it.

fist fight @ 730 in the 2nd and NBC goes to commercial

if the series keeps going like this neither team would have anybody healthy to play.  more big hits in the last 2-3 minutes than the entire 1st game

4 on 4 for 2 mintues following the fight

spezza drops on in off a nice little drop back deflection to tie it 1-1

 :D

fleury makes the save on a 2-1


ottawa player skates into him... no call.

Is this a private thread or can anyone join?  ::) ;) ;D

Hey, this game is really heating up! Should be a fun 3rd period is it continues at this pace.

ottawa can't covert on a 3-1

crosy almost scores single handed off the faceoff.
 [sm_shock]

Great way to start a fight, barrel over the goalie!

armstrong takes it at emery, gets stuffed, and collides with him.  [sm_shock]

I'd like my 100th Golfhos post to note that the Rangers are beating Atlanta 1-0.


And now back to your regularly scheduled playoff game!

sens with another big power play @ 3:50 in the 2nd

did you see how the goal happened?  crazy!

alfredsson scores on the PP to make it 2-1
 :-[

ruutu gets a dumass penalty

yup, terrible loss of jugdement. You want to get you momentum back just then. Sheesh.

pens kill the PP and end the half down 2-1

Wow, the Sens totally dominated that period.   [sm_shock]

comrie and armstrong with a pretty sad fight

slashing on ottawa to give pens the nice PP early in the 3rd

Just turned it on.  2-1  [sm_shock]

big PP coming up

god, taking an offsides building up the PP at the blue line

Hehe, I picked the Rangers to win, but I thought it would go 7 games. ;D

pull the trigger whitney!
 >:(

roberts OWNS emery on the rebound !
2-2

wow, just like that, pens tie it up.  Glad I tuned in. ;D

THAT WASNT ACROSS THE LINE ?!?!?!

gonchar with a moron penalty for holding




puck on the overhead (not HD though) does look like it was swept out in time .
(previous scoring chance for the pens)

PP killed.

kelly scores through traffic from 20 feet.
3-2 sens
 :'(

STAAAAL !

roberts  with the check that opened up ouelette for the assist!

clank!  hit hte post!

ottawa has a knack for generating the odd-man rush with their 2 main lines.  at times it seems like they are almost counting on it- exaggerating play to get it.    i wonder if the pens have a strategy in place to try and exploit that.

recchi hits sid  on a beautiful pass across the top of the crease   after alfredsson breaks his stick... ...

4-3 pens !

wow, this game is crazy.

what was there to review on that?      that desperate to disallow a pens goal ?
 [sm_disgust]

lame call against malkin  there.  alfredsson was using that to draw the call.

'flop'esque

PP for ottawa and armstrong takes it shorthanded @ emery, who drops it back in play to a pen!  almost a goal and 5-3... but not ...
 :-\

1:15 to go in the PP and the sens get a great look.  better luck for fleury today than 1st game... the deflection off the post goes wide...

:45 to go in the PP.

Rats, Atlanta tied it up 1-1. >:(

PP killed..... ...

4:40 to play... 4-3 pens...

about 3:40 to play and a stoppage

tons of points in that game for my 'team' in dunk's contest (11 I think)

 [sm_shock]

Wow, had to run out for awhile and missed most of the 3rd period.

How 'bout those Pens?

How 'bout those Rangers!!!!

Gary Roberts has gathered the young Penguins under his wing and is showing them how to play Playoff Hockey. What a great late-season acquisition for the Pens. The guy is pure grit. At 40 years of age, you know the kids are looking to him for leadership in the dressing room, plus he's doing it on the ice as well.

Yes, Roberts was an excellent acquisition.  A goal and an assist, plus some timely hits by Roberts in the third period was the difference.  If the Pens go deep in this year's playoffs, I expect it will be due in no small part to Roberts' contributions.
