    I am super-stressed about a job interview coming up, but I can manage the anxiety by watching the video clip of Fleury eating the ice and laughing my butt off ...
    :)

    Take it easy there, big fella ... I'm guessing he'll stick to just stepping onto the ice tonight ...

    I doubt it, Fleury and Talbot do this little ritual before every game where they kind of wrestle and hit each other in the helmet to get fired up. It's worked up until game 1. Maybe mad max hit him a little too hard...

    No way, Ruutu is the secret weapon.

    Not good. Maybe you can talk me through it. Malkin has looked a lot like Jagr.

    Come on, Let's go Penguins.

    I remember some editorial about the Wings lack of depth scoring maybe hurting them against the Pens ...

    Well, that's goals for Samuelson (2), Stuart, Filpula, and Cleary, for a total of five.
    The Zetterberg line has two goals.

    I suppose one has to resort to speculation when trying to finding weaknesses in the Wings.

    The penguins have not lost at home yet these playoffs.

    I really don't think home ice is going to matter. I mean they have done NOTHING so far to have me excited about playing at home. I'll just take a goal at this point.

    Hal Gill was shit on the leafs, and he's shit on the Penguins. Can't stand that he's on the team. He's probably a -4 or -5 this series.

    Also I heard Malkin was complaining before game 2 that he was tired and wasn't sure if he wanted to be on the powerplay. WTF your in the Stanley Cup finals, wake the fuck up. Trade him for a big name in '09 he's got a ton of skill but no heart.

    Sorry just pissed after watching the last two games.

    Can't disagree more with these statements. Hall Gill has been great for the Pens since the trade. He hasn't played well in this series but neither has anyone else.
    And are you nuts about trading Malkin?? I'm a little concerned about how he seems to wear down a little too easily, But you just don't trade one of the best players in the game who is only 21 years old.

    He's not nuts, but he's not serious either. Common reaction to seeing your players seem to give up.

    Theoretically the games should be pretty high scoring.
    Despite the fact that Pittsburgh's opponents to-date have been lackluster most of the time (expected a lot out of the Rags, didn't happen), I think their chances are pretty good.
    This should be obvious by now, despite the fact that your level of play has severely plummeted compared to the first three rounds, Detroit is still playing an extremely good (and disciplined) game.

    That said, still a series to play. Anything can happen.

    So much for those "Classy" Penguins

    Roberts nice punch to the side of the head of a guy coming back from a concussion

    Sykora taking a cheap shot at Osgood

    Was it Orpik or one of the defenseman hitting Franzen after the whistle again in the head

    Malone taking out Zetterberg after the whistle


    Now your coach is whining


    This from an espn.com article:

    "It's really tough to generate offense against that team," Therrien said. "They're good on obstruction. It's going to be tough to generate any type of offense if the rules remain the same. So, it's the first time we're facing a team [where] the obstruction is there and we're having a hard time skating to take away ice."

    Well, all we can hope for is that Detroit's trend of losing a few after winning a few continues.

    Not that we should have to rely on them to lose, but the Penguins can't seem to get anything going at all. If they hold serve at home then it sets up a very interesting game five in Detroit.

    I do feel that if they can put up some goals in game three and get the win then they will get that momentum and confidence back real quick.
