    I can't blame Fleury too much. Goes to show what one bad mistake can do to a team in the playoffs.

    I've always wondered what a team should do when it has a lead in the third period: keep the foot on the gas or strictly play defense?

    Fleury is just not a clutch goalie, yes they should keep the gas on ... the problem after Pitt got a 3-0 lead they didn't do anything. If Crosby's not injured then he either needs to man up and make stuff happen or Pitt has a real problem going forward.

    Sigh. Okay. Less happy now, but I know my boys can do this.

    Hope so ... we need a game 7 or a couple in the first round.

    on that tying goal by Columbus that Fleury botched, all the Pittsburgh players, including forwards were watching the puck, nobody was covering any of the Columbus players or in position to do anything, so it was also a defensive breakdown

    Good point. I would think if Crosby and Malkin don't start scoring ... that will be Pitts downfall in the end.

    yep, they don't have the depth on the 3rd and 4th line that they had a couple of years ago due to these huge contracts to their stars

    in reality, it doesn't matter, Boston is coming out of the East lol

    I know the Stars are better. I know they can do this. Not going down without a fight!

    Here's to hoping all of the Penguins show up to play tonight, for all of the minutes in a game, that'd be nice to watch and I'm sure my heart would enjoy the break. I hate how much I like watching the BJs play, besides Dubinsky, fuck that guy (I'd take him on my team in a heartbeat).

    Damn, Blues. Thought for sure they were bound for the Cup this year.

    St. Louis got there but kicked in that 3rd period today. Jonathon Toews ... What can be said about him ... 3 game winners in this series alone ... Probably best leader in hockey and he's only 25-26.
