Me - I'm just hoping that the Pens can even score a goal against this team. :D
Keep hoping, motherfucka!!

I feel like the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders. We can do this!!
Still hoping for that goal tonight! ;)

Wings look great. Tough to tell how good - I watched the game in a crowded pub & was quite loopy by the end. Eager to watch the game tonight from home…or maybe not if it ends up the same.

It's a strange feeling this Cup series. I feel 0 animosity toward the Red Wings. They are a likable team.

I meant attention, not something lurid, for the record.

She's been a real trooper putting up with me through this entire cup run.
Franzen still out for game 2.

Whoa, back up the trolley, Jolly! TSN, Eklund, and the Free Press do an about face; Babcock is saying he's gotten last second clearance to play. McCarty appears out, but he's played in a game already so his name is on the Cup if Detroit wins.

Keep hoping, I guess.

No offense to I'm Her Slave personally, but I'm laughing at all the idiots who insisted Pittsburgh's offense was too powerful to be overcame and that Fleury was better then Osgood. Uh, ok…
I don't know what's more pathetic.

The Pens being swept AND shutout or the cheap shots to Franzen's head by Roberts and Whitney.

Stay classy Pittsburgh.
NEWSFLASH!! THIS JUST IN

The equipment manager has reportedly found the sticks for the Shittsburgh Penfags, which had been obviously missing for the two games in Detroit.
Agree with all this:
Detroit's domination has Penguins dazed, confused

They are a mess. You could see it in their eyes.
That old cliche: squeezing the stick too tightly? Never understood it until now. Whiffing on slapshots - missing pucks laying in the crease.

What changed since the 1st period Saturday nite? - which was anybody's series @ that time. Excellent up & down hockey with many chances by both teams. Since that intermission it's been all Red Wing domination. Gotta credit Babcock - he made some change & Therrien isnt' figuring it out.

When a team is playing well - it looks like they have an extra guy on the ice. That's what this series has become: A whole lot of red jerseys.

I thought there might be a lot of outcomes in this series but I never thought it would be a Time Since Last Penguins Goal ticker…
i've nearly vomitted several times, and this was what we kind of expected. good times
lidstrom needs to watch his back if he wants to keep his C. did you see datsyuk swing twice in game 2?

ever hear of someone forfeiting the lady byng?

ha! this one's over. pens might get one, but its all wings. got a tic for game 4, an octopus vendor, a cooler, and a ringer.


LETS GO RED WINGS!
Irony City


Penguins look to lock Red Wings fans out of finals

Shittsburgh got their panties in a bunch when the Caps did this a few years ago. A Department of Justice attorney threatened to sue until it was finally lifted.

I jumped on Ticketmaster earlier and got two tixs for tonite's game and immediately put them up on a Red Wings board for face value + the b.s. fees. Snatched up in minutes.

Pittsburgh can't suck more.
Bitterness.
there were still tickets available today? thats surprising
i'd say they (the pens/ticketmaster) have an interstate commerce problem if somebody has the balls to do something about it.

everyone knows the pens WILL win their home games anyway, right? yeah, right.
its kind of silly to restrict the sale of a thousand tickets that sold out in 5 minutes anyway. but who here cares (besides the caps fan that got tickets anyway). did our weblebrity get tickets to game 4?

The Pens are on silly streak might as well keep it rolling.

They were Standing Room Only tixs. I went back about 10 minutes later and the equivalent of a busy signal in web page form popped up.
2-1.

We got a series now - great hockey last night: flow & tremendous hitting. SICNN:
"In a showcase Game 3 that ranks in excitement and physicality and sheer quality with any match in the past five finals…"

Game 4 is gonna be FUN. Detroit will treat it as a must win…just like the Pens.

Pens still not converting chances like they usually do. If they can/do - this could get real good.

How about that shift by Orpik last night - 5 hits in the corner?

The key to the series def appears to be SCORE FIRST and avoid the other's trap.
