Pens must be watching A LOT of basketball video in their training sessions because they are setting picks all over the ice. I TJ-hate it, so it must mean they are doing something right.
Ya, I heard BFR admitted he was tired and stuff. If that's the case I'm sure there are a couple of guys in Bingo that can provide some energy while he take a game or two off. There is no room for spare tires on the truck right now. If you are not hitting, or scoring, or checking or blocking shots, etc. sit out.
I turned the game off after the non-call interference/tripping on Hoffman(?) right before the 2nd PIT goal. I was so sure it was going to be called I took my eyes off the TV for a moment and then heard a goal scored. On the replay, it was so obvious I couldn't believe it, so if the refs are going to screw the Sens again in this game I'm not going to watch it happen.
Glad to hear about the SHG; need a few more of those, some PP action, or the team showing up in the 3rd like they have in the past. And perhaps a Methot hipcheck to both refs.

That was Perron on that non call. Shock my head at that one too.
Don't think it's as much of a ref screw job (i.e. Game 6 vs. Rangers when they gave them a 5-3 in the first few minutes of the first) as it is players not showing up. Players I notice on the ice for good plays are Pageau, Condra, Chiasson, Legwand, Stone, Methot. Where are the rest?
Out of gas and injured I would guess. Karlsson is taking repeated maintenance days at practice and Ryan is clearly busted.
