Pens vs Bruins in the Eastern Conference Finals. I'll be at game 1.
If the Penguins offense plays like it has been, they're winning the cup. Went from thinking Nabakov had a bunch of bad games to thinking it might have more to do with the Pens' offense than anyone thought. Craig Anderson wasn't pulled once during the regular season. He was pulled twice in five games against the Penguins.

The Pens are going to roll Boston.
I think LA can play the type of defense that could slow down Pittsburgh, and I think Chicago has the type of offense that could hang, but I don't know if I think either of those teams are going to make it to the Cup finals.

I'm always wrong.
But it's fun to see the real Cindy show up in this series...I just wish he'd actually picked a fight with Chara before the refs were trying to separate them....

After Bean town beat the Leafs the way they did, i laid down some $$$ on them..we'll see. love how people wanted to bench fleury for Volk. they dont get hockey sorry. Bad turnovers on d and not recovering leads to goals. Saw it all year with the wings.

Yep....the Pens don't play very much defense....Their d-men don't recover well and their forwards are too eager to get out on the break outs....

Looks like Vokoun is getting the start in Game 3 and is not getting pulled for Fleury.

I've been trying to hold off since this series started so terribly, but after the start to game 3, I can't.
1) Dan Bylsma is fucking terrible. His lineup changes involve moving Niskanen with Letang, who have never played a good shift together. I mean that literally. Crosby/Dupuis/Kunitz line looks awful too, so let's go ahead and keep that together. Rather than trying to put Kunitz with Malkin/Neal, who have all had great success together, we're just going to bump Iginla down to the third line and move Matt Cooke up.
The fact that Niskanen is even dressing makes me hate him. He's a fucking disgraceful defender.
2) The players are playing like shit. Malkin and Crosby in particular. Malkin stopped playing defense. Crosby stopped having good sense. They both force passes and float around in the defensive zone. Letang is a Norris candidate, lol. Good joke, NHL. Brenden Morrow? I thought he was a playoff performer. He looks like shit.
3) Goalies suck when they're playing a team that can sustain offensive pressure. This is the exact same thing that happened against the Islanders, only the Bruins are a lot better at everything.
I guess that's all. Pretty much everything, really.

There were rumors that he'd lost a step in the past year in Calgary, but since it was Calgary, no one really saw it that much.
I guess it was true.

It would be nice to see him at least get one shift with Crosby. The line was good enough for the fucking Canadian gold medal Olympic team, but not good enough for Dan motherfucking Bylsma. Can't break up the precious Kunitz and Dupuis wingers. Even when they look shitty. Heck only down 0-2 with two home losses, might as well not try it.
Fucking hate Bylsma right now. I wish he'd get fired and they'd let me coach one game for free.
