Interesting exchange between Wyshynski, Roenick and Phil Borque. Borque was on with Wyshynski and they talked about Roenick's comments about Crosby's work ethic.

Roenick's responses on Twitter were pretty good!

@philbourque29 hey Phil why don't u make sure u get ur facts correct before u become the homer fan!! U have bashed me once as an American.

@philbourque29 now u want to criticize @NBCSN and our analysis of individual games and performances. When u rode Mario's coat tails 4 yrs

@philbourque29 you are seriously bashing me after the career you had. Btw I scored more pts in 2 yrs than you did in 15.

@philbourque29 stop being such a homer. If u watch the game piece by piece we r always fair. U work for the pens and hate everyone else!

@philbourque29 it's too bad u don't hear the good things we say!! Letang for Norris! MAF the bomb!! Malkin awesome!! U just harp on negative

@philbourque29 you and the rest of pens nation should really listen and hear we talk great things about penguins. But it's @NBCSN not Root!!

@philbourque29 I can tell u I'm 85% positive about Crosby 10% no opinion and 5% critical. All you guys harp on is the 5%. It's a joke.

@philbourque29 and last but not least Phil hope u bring ur shine box to the rink every night. I'm sure mario's shoes are dirty.

Hey @wyshynski you're such a big talker and so many opinions. Why don't you get some guts and do @RoenickLifePod Monday.

@wyshynski figures u decline me. Just like all the kids who picked u last on their team. Not worth the time right Greg. Ur a joke

Roenick was still wrong

[JJFIVEOH]

Pull Murray! 

[Thorner]

Will Malkin ever score again?

 

Going on 9 straight playoff games without a goal

[JJFIVEOH]

Pens seem to be doing well without Malkin contributing, the Pens have had cap issues filling holes in the past, and Pillsbury is lobbying for a Conn Smythe as of now.

 

What are the odds they try to unload Malkin in the offseason?

I feel like this comes up every year and they are never close to trading him. If they are going to, now may be the time.

 

I hope he's able to turn it around this playoffs.

[Thorner]

If Daley can't come back that would be a huge loss for the Pens.

[Norcal]

Drouin stopped one and scored one 

[Thorner]

Malkin has more clears on the TB penalty kill than Tampa players. Wow.

[Norcal]

Lightning are striking tonight 

[SwampD]

Did Doc really just tell Pierre to give that assistant coach a teabag?

[Thorner]

Pittsburgh looks awful. Not just Malkin. Though he's at the top of the list.

[JJFIVEOH]

That should about do it for Murray's postseason.

Hard to say.

 

Is there anyone more effective at being an on ice D-bag than Boyle? Crazy effective at what he does.

[CallawaySabres]

Worst semis ever.....

[Norcal]

Hard to say.

In the playoffs no but...Neil, Ratface Marchand, Gallagher to name a few. 

[JJFIVEOH]

Hard to say.

Boyle's got that down pat.

[darksabre]

That shot by Kessel was amazing.

[Norcal]

Kuch wanted some

[SwampD]

Hard to say.

I don't know. Boyle might be the smallest big man in hockey.

 

 

We got a game here.

[Norcal]

Theres ur Malkin

[Norcal]

Gonna be a good finish to this series. Sullivan brought a buncha crazed savages out of the locker room in the 3rd. Lightning barely held on.

[Thorner]

Should be good. Hope Daley is ok. Hopefully scoring Malkin is here to stay.

 

Game 7 OT, please!
