I hope that he finds a better club or kings get a better management....

sorry for my english 😛.. but i hope u'll understand 🙂

Same I see success in Kopitar's future.

Nice close game in Pittsburgh.

/sarcasm.

oh well like they say, you win some and you lose some. still a great season for flyers, from last place last season, to making it to the eastern conference finals.

But also better for the Penguins.

😛

...

Now I'm definitely a Stars fan. Give the Pens time to rest and wear them out a bit. It would also be some nice symmetry to their first Cup when they swept the Stars (it might've been pre-Dallas though).

And is home ice in the finals determined by regular season record? I don't know if the Pens did better than the Wings.

Russia won gold 😄

Yeah..good job Pens, now let's see if the Wings can finish off the Stars.

Meh, its just World Championship.

Everybody knows that Canada is the best hockey country.

It was Minnesota.

Yeah, I was thinking about the home ice thing. I wonder if they swap Conferences each year. If that's the case, I'm pretty sure the Canes had home ice in the 2006 Finals.

My mom said it depends on record or maybe playoff seed. Either way, the Wings would have home ice (I think) but Dallas wouldn't.

So go Stars!

At this point i have been reduced to a fan with stammering articulation....GO PENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm looking forward to the Finals. Obviously, it's going to be a challenge for the Pens, as they will not be firing on an Empty Net for 60 minutes like they were doing in Game 5 the other day.

I'm not fond of either team, oh well, let the best team win I suppose.

Yeah...

That was brutal, when the Dupius goal went in, I was like what the ****, they're just throwing it at the net.

I was a little bit worried about the Flyers coming back but Crosby was just skating circles around them. It was brutal.

It will be challenging for the Red Wings as well. They will actually be facing some fast forwards that can power down the center.

wow
The Penguins have no chance to win this series. Their best hope is to win two games and save some pride. After seeing that dominating victory i would be surprised to see the Penguins win two games in this series. If they lose on monday, the wings will take the series 4-1. If they hapen to win, they might take the series in 7, but that, unfortunately is not going to happen. They got spanked like when the kindergardeners played the red wings in south park.

i was not expecting that. hopefully we see a game 7, but i doubt it.

The Wangs always win at home. Wait till the Pens go home.

Yeah, but the Pens were completely de-constructed. Nothing for them worked. Their only shots on goal came off of powerplays. When they weren't being knocked on their asses they were constantly in pursuit. They had no for check, no back checking. The only aspect which was solid was the goaltending. Even then, however, A bad call and several lucky bounces saved that game from being a 6-0 shutout. The wings scored a shorthanded goal on the rush. The penguins greatest weapon is their speed, yet, they were beaten even in that department.

It is very possible that we will see a different pens team tomorrow night, but they will have to start from the ground up. I know it's only one win, but the Penguins were beaten so convincingly, unless they just had a bad game, i dont see how they are going to handle the wings. If they lose tomorrow the series is over.

I only saw the first period but if they play like that, they can win the series.

Osgood kept the Wings in it during the first. He made a couple of key saves and in reality, the game was close until the the last part of the third period.

I'm thinking you guys are writing off the Pens too early based on one game.
