I really hope someone lays out Crosby for that stupid two-hander on Maltby after the game—some captain.
- And someone (probably Crosby) should've had a penalty shot after Zetterberg put his hand on the puck.juhls
- He didn't cover the puck though, he put his hand on it to stop it, and then put his whole body on it.rosem
- hand on puck = penalty shotsikma
- it needs to be a closed hand over the puck. he had an open palm and never kept it over the puck.rosem
- It was so obvious that he had his hand on there though.juhls
- And he did keep it on there before put his whole body on it. All the commentators even said so.juhls

Are Detroit fans always this irritating? Haha.
Seriously though, there were many weird bounces in that game. I could see it going either way from here on out. Penguins were pulling out everything they could during the last period, but the Wings were great along the boards and at getting the puck away.
- I guess you guys are just passionate.juhls
- i think any outside city thinks other loud passionate fans are annoying because they are not rooting for your team. don't hate. : )nicole_marie

I'm just giving you a hard time. :)
Honestly I don't think Pittsburg can beat Detroit—they depend on Crosby and Malkin too much. As long as Detroit can keep these two under control, I don't see them winning.
Detroit is deep enough to use their "star" players to play a more defensive role, and let the underrated players put up the points. When Datsyuk returns (Game 3/4?) it will be even harder for them to keep control of the puck.
It's the same reason the Caps lost to Pittsburgh as they were relying on Oveckin. There is no "i" in "Stanley"...
- I do agree that it must be a team effort, and Detroit always has depth.juhls

Detroit has soooo many good players. Every line is stacked, it's hilarious.
While there is no "I" in team there is one in Victory ;)

If the Pens lose game two this series is as good as done.
Sorry Flav.

did anyone else think the pens looked silly waiting at the boards to talk shit to the wings after they were done greeting osgood at the goal and were heading to the locker room? what were they saying? "watch out next game, guys! we're gonna getcha!"
i agree w/ rosem -- some captain.

great game.

Do you think Datsyuk returning in Game 3 or 4 would negate the home ice advantage for the Penguins?
- effort0
yeah, interesting to think they've shut the pens down without one of their best players in datsyuk.
- rosem0
wings are outscoring them 3 to 1.
crosby has been shut down, malkin only has 2 points (1 goal/1 assist)
half of their goals are from hard working grand rapids call-ups:
ericsson (1), abdelkader (2), and let's not forget about helm.fleury needs to get his shit together, he's their only chance.

So, umm, now the Penguins have to win 4 out of 5 remaining games to take The Cup.
I think I have a better chance of having sects with Megan Fox on face of moon!

We've done it against the Caps under similar circumstances ... yet of course it was not against the Wings. We are definitely taking Game 3 at home. With no Malkin suspension, and the fact they well ... really, really, really need to win, haha. If we can somehow get Game 4 on Thursday, then it really is going down to home ice in terms of line changes which is amazing.

This should be good. Go RED WINGS!

No cheering on clear outs on penalty kill, no chants when we are behind our net on a set play, no noise/ standing with the period coming to a close.
Fucking hell.
