GoPre Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) 1st shot in 37 minutes :censored: And screw it. Game would've been 4-4 right now had NBC/NHL not yanked the opener by Nashville. Edited May 30, 2017 by GoPre Quote
Claude Balls Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 Hey Nashville fans, welcome to life as a Sabres fan. Quote
ubkev Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 Hey Nashville fans, welcome to life as a Sabres fan. Crosby would have scored that against the Sabres. Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 I saw 40 minutes of this game, and pitt doesn't deserve it even a little.... At least the flow was good for a while.....looks like we get to watch NBC lick Crosby s ballz for a another offseason Quote
matter2003 Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) the Penguins are God's chosen team apparently... sickening to watch them do whatever they want and still win games Edited May 30, 2017 by matter2003 Quote
Iron Crotch Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 Hey Nashville fans, welcome to life as a Sabres fan. I'm used to it. :-) ...that said, this Nashville team just has "it." They win if Pekka stops more than 50% and the Pens don't get that full 5-on-3. Pekka tends not to be good when he doesn't face many shots. Like he can't stay in the game without being peppered. Quote
Claude Balls Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) 2 shots since the 1st period, 2 goals. The NHL wrecked this game early. Shoulda been at least 4-1 or 4-0 Nashville. Pitt was pathetic tonight, yet somehow.... Who has a bigger horseshoe up their ass, Crosby or Brady? Edited May 30, 2017 by Claude Balls Quote
Iron Crotch Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 the Penguins are God's chosen team apparently... sickening to watch them do whatever they want and still win games A bit of sour grapes I'm sure, but the Pens interference game is world class. Quote
Winston Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 5 goals on 11 shots... I'm not sure what I just watched Quote

I'm a Sabres fan...and a Bills fan...I'm just sick of teams that seemingly can do no wrong when we would be losing 8-0 in the same situation, and most other teams would be in the same boat.

I've been a Preds season ticket holder for the past 8 seasons and I really think top-to-bottom the Preds are the more talented team. That said, you can take the boy out of Buffalo, but you can't take the Buffalo out of the boy. I fully expect the Preds to lose this series. I'm just trained to think that way. :( Quote

Malkin nailed it in his post-game interview on NHL network... Rinne was sitting too deep in his net and wasn't coming out to take away the angles. Pekka is either "on" or "off"... when he is "off" he is really off. Quote

Rinne was sitting too deep in his net and wasn't coming out to take away the angles. Pekka is either "on" or "off"... when he is "off" he is really off. And every goalie is due for an "off" game or stretch. Rinne has been great during the playoffs. Hope this was a one night collapse. Pulling for Nashville in this series.

nucci Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 It was clearly offsides. Foot was in air. Dumb challenge system, but right call within the crappy system was made. I don't think it was clearly offsides. If it was the linesman would have called it. Quote
Radar Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 These are two very good teams but goaltending still rules particularly in playoffs. I still say Pens in six. Quote
Winston Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 They are definitely going to lose if Rinne can't figure out how to catch the puck...Malkin's goal the Guentzel's goal were dreadful... Malkin's goal should be stopped 10/10 times by an NHL goalie. He wasn't screened and it didn't deflect. Here's a good angle of a bad goal: https://twitter.com/nhlonnbcsports/status/869357575019438080 But Guentzel's goal was just an absolute snipe. Not sure that's on Rinne. He was out challenging. Jake just placed it perfectly in the top corner. https://twitter.com/myregularface/status/869387127359930368 Quote

If so, he's an idiot. Quote

The Pens went 37 minutes without a shot on goal. It's gotta be hard to stay sharp in a game like that. Could Nashville's D be too good? :lol: Quote

GoPre Posted May 30, 2017 Report Posted May 30, 2017 Predators fan is facing 3 charges for throwing a catfish on the ice last night. One of the charges is possessing instruments of crime. That instrument was the catfish. https://sports.vice.com/en_us/article/predators-fan-charged-for-tossing-dead-catfish-on-ice-at-stanley-cup-game Pittsburgh is overreacting. Quote
