Series needs more Fleury

More playing like we did in the 3rd. Tuukka stole first 2 periods, I'll take it.

We just need more JP, Jared, and Lars. Very disappointing showing by the boys tonight.

Reporter: "What did Crosby say to you at the end of the 2nd period?"
Tuukka, with a rye smile: "great job"

my take on the game.

penguins are really ****ing good. they still win this series >50% of the time.

announcers were annoying penguins homers. every time the penguins put a shot on goal the PBP guy went nuts. the bruins could have had a breakaway and the guy wouldn't have raised his voice a notch.

i think both boarding hits were called appropriately. i actually don't watch hockey at all, so i am pretty much talking out of my ass here, but the hit on mcquaid seemed worse to me than marchand's.

thought the bruins played really well. they'll have to play this well to beat the pens who i think are the better team. PIT had absolutely nothing go their way tonight. That won't happen over seven games.

So you'd be willing to give me odds if I take the Bruins?

Not that it really matters all that much since these 2 teams are basically playing for rights to claim 2nd place.

outside of prizm, us bruins homers are pretty realistic about all this.

bravos, i'll give you +100 on the Bruins. $5

straight cash homey

Yeah who picked this series to go 7? Oh right me

Didn't see a second of the game, but I'm gonna reassure everyone here that nothing is ****ed, Dude.

Pens in 5

in this thread, bravos makes a challenge, then backs down to a $5 bet.

So much for you laying odds, but I'll take it.

$5 even monies....

what?

i think the pens win >50% of the time.

i'm offering you +100.

that IS offering odds from my viewpoint.

Bruins def win in 4 now with me on their bandwagon!

Lerch bending over to tell Crosby that he shouldn't make big boy threats is maybe the funniest thing I've seen this playoffs.

Oh hai fellas. Jimmies were rustled quite a bit last night during the game tbh, but right now not really. Still think Pens ghana win this in 6.

- lol @ that sequence after the 2nd period. Thanks Geno for taking yourself out of the much needed PP and Sid vs Chara was pretty funny. but the Pens can't get into that extracurricular stuff b/c it just doesn't work for them.

- how did Kunitz whiff on his 1st shot attempt about a minute in? I'm sure he would've hit both posts and the crossbar somehow but still.

- kind of surprised there's only <200 posts in here.

Crosby making an absolute fool of himself. His lawnmower just skyrocketed, early takeoff.

Saw Bill Burr last night in AC and he came on stage with, "Ah man, I'm in a great ****in mood tonight. My Bruins beat those c.unty Penguins, and that pouty lipped Boy Scout tried to act tough and then slashed someone's foot and got called for being a dirty bastard, WHAT A NIGHT!"

Bruins are the MASTERS at getting under your skin. Pens better learn to deal with that **** right quick. Can't have Malkin fighting and Crosby losing his **** for no reason.

What was he going to do if he was really that pissed at Rask or Chara, fight them?

Why didn't malkin get an instigator? Threw punches with the gloves, pulled off bergeron's helmet, then dropped the gloves, all while wearing a visor. maybe 'cause the period was over?

Crosby whining was almost as predictable as being schooled by Bergeron on the face offs.

because he's Malkin and it's the playoffs

(i didn't see the play so i'm assuming your post is accurate.)

lol Crosby. He's the dude who tells his friends to hold him back from getting in a fight just to look tough because he knows he'd get his ass dropped by any of the BBBB there.

Outside of maybe krug, I think that any bruin including rask and dobby would beat Crosby up in a fight on the ice. And krug may still be even money.

same reason he didn't get an instigator for throwing punches at Zetterberg, who still had his gloves on, in the 09 finals. Can't go punishing a Penguins star now

"They're letting a lot go out there, and the more it gets like that, the more it’s going to escalate. You can only control and channel that stuff so much. You keep letting guys do that stuff, you’re just going to push the envelope.

"That’s something we obviously want to stay away from, but it’s kind of a natural thing when it gets like that."

-Sidney Crosby

Did not expect to see Malkin and Bergeron fight. Malkin confirmed better fight than semin
