This team plays a lot better w/o the Ukranians.
I agree.

Pens need to treat Game 6 like it's Game 7

Montreal is an upset-minded team and you don't want them to have that chance at stunning you in a Game 7

They can't do it, obviously, if it doesn't go to a seventh game

This is too funny, UFC fighter Josh Koscheck jobbing the Montreal fans at UFC 113:

Spacek is also a GTD.

Montreal is really hurting on the blue line and they aren't very deep by design, because of this, I have a good feeling the Pens have a very good chance to end this series tonight.

With Markov is out and Gill is a game time decision, Pens roll with this one. I see a 2-3 goal win.

Pens have been tough on the road.

They easily could be 5-0 in the playoffs.

Won't be easy but I think the Pens close it out and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

No Hal Gill and Cindy is getting his chances. Habs can't catch a break. Finally get Spacek back and now Gill is out. If they find a way to win they deserve much credit.

My man Letang!

Are Habs fans retarded? They are booing the calls. That was an OBVIOUS interference earlier.
