Montreal at Pittsburgh, Game 7

[generaladm]

Gonchar's playing like a rookie out there. MAF's bailed him out twice so far, not to mention he can't hold the blue line on the PP.

What's sad is that MAF has had a couple bail outs already and he hasn't even looked good.

I swear I would like to beat the piss out of the Nationwide insurance guy with the blue phone. What an annoying cock sucker.

What you said, and this.

Bill Guerin loses a battle along the boards? No way. AND misses the net on a shot? Billy bringing his A game.

Great shift by the third line. This is why we must keep Jordan Staal.

I wish the superstars would play with that kind of intensity. Haven't seen that drive since game one of the series.

 

[3074326]

Brooks Orpik with his fucking head in his ass again, and Fleury letting another goal in that has no business going in.

It was fun being the champions while it lasted.

Jesus, that was a bad turnover. Gonchar again. Ouch.

I'm rarely like that, but I've honestly never seen this team look this terrible. Everyone looks like shit, and when you're goalie plays like a fucking 8 year-old girl without limbs you aren't going to win.

Plenty of time and plenty of firepower for the Pens. They'll get it going.

Anyone else remember Mathieu Darche in a Jackets jersey sometime a little short of forever ago?

Firepower has been missing all series. Key saves have been too.

I don't know if I've ever lost faith in one of my teams this early in a game.

 

[Jake]

Well, if you play like crap in game seven you deserve to lose. The Pens have only scored more than 2 goals twice in six games and they're down 2-0 after one period. Fucking beautiful.

They need to play a helluva second period to get back in this thing and give themselves a shot. There isn't much to indicate that will happen. We'll see. :ohwell:

 

[Tonyank]

Lock the doors............

 

[generaladm]

This is the first time in the series that Montreal has looked like the faster team. They've probably had more breakaways in this period than they have since the all-star break. Of course, Kaiser Butterfingers as last man back for the Pens has a lot to do with that.

Was that Orpik who was trying to rough up a guy on the back of the net (maybe trying to knock it off?) when the second goal was scored?

Pens look like ass. They're lucky it's not 5-0. Beyond all the turnovers/bad passes, they're letting Halak get in his rhythm with easy saves. Pens spent the last several minutes trying to go for the Matteau style wrap-around, and I don't think that's gonna work at all. Pens need to work the puck cross-ice between the circles, and it seems they've given up on that already.

I hope they do but the fact is they haven't been able to "get it going" since game one.

Like I said, they need to play a helluva second period.
