Pens vs Red Wings

[tsquared]

Jeez Pensrock--I was cheering for all I was worth for Sid and the boys but like I said the last time we talked about the Penguins--the Joe is a tough place to win in this year. Modano said after they lost the series to the Wings that this is the best team he has ever played against, and he's been around the block a time or two.

That was a good game until the 3rd period.  But, the team is young.  I can't imagine how nervous they musta been.  Overall, I was pleased with how they came out firing in the first.....they just failed to keep that going.  If the Pens can somehow find a way to win Game 2, it's a brand new series.  Playing in Pittsburgh this year hasn't been a cakewalk for anyone in the playoffs this year.

Yea, I think nerves had some to do with it but they just did not play as intense as they should have. Detroit was doing all the hitting and the Pens made some really bad plays that Detroit jumped on. Detroit has a great team no doubt about it and they have been to the playoffs before that has to help. We'll see Monday if they learned anything, if not it may be a short series. If the youngsters come out and start knocking the Wings down and make them keep getting back up, the older guys will tire out faster than the kids. It was only one game hopefully things will change on game two.

Well whatever the outcome, it's unbelievable hockey. The best 4 or 5 players currently playing the game are on the ice when those 2 teams meet--it's great stuff.

I just can't believe that I have to watch Hal Gill playing in the freakin' Stanley Cup.

It's more painful than imagining somebody boiling a tender little Walleye.

HAL GILL for crying out loud!!!

Die Hard (is there any other) Leafs fan.

Seeing Gill there is as bad as us Canuckleheads watching Ruutu in there. Does...not...compute.

Well if they do not start playing hockey and start hitting the series will be a short one. I'm impressed with the puck possession and handling by the wings. Man once they get the puck they just do not give it up.
I know the pens are playing bad right now but this is getting embarrassing. Come on guys..... get out there and kick some a$$!

Well, game 3 was definitely a tad better.  I know I'm a little biased here but that was the best game of the series as far as hockey playing on both sides of the ice.

You're right, Pens.  You can tell the Wings are the better team.....crisper passes, better pressure and more vision on the ice.  However, I think the Pens were intimidated by them (at least that's the way it seemed to me) the first two games.  They drew some strength from the home crowd last night and now look like a team competing for the Stanley Cup.

Damn--I missed the game as I was helping out at a track meet. Looking forward to the next game, Saturday?
