Lets face it. The Pens may not win another game this series unless they do something about their horrible power play.

The Pens have had an atrocious PP for years.

Former assistant coach Mike Yeo was crucified for a couple of years for his coaching of the power play. Well, he's now gone and it still stinks.

The problem with the PP is there is no true PPQB, they're terrible at entering the zone, and there's hardly any movement if any at all.

I had the good fortune of being in attendance last night, great atmosphere at CEC, what a facility!

That said, last night's game was one of the worst displays of hockey put forth by the Pens all year. The opening goal givien up by Fleury was terrible.......getting beat over his glove hand (one of the quickest in the league), give me a break. Pittsburgh made too many mistakes in their own end, have to be more responsible Monday night. AND......where was the physical intensity? It's imperative that the Pens take the body in a big way Monday night, just like they did in game one, Tampon players were given too much space and no one was flattened for it, this is the playoffd after all. To add to the broken record, the PP stinks! They have to do something, 14 PP chances in two games and no goals, only four shots in seven opportunities last night........get to work Coach Disco!

The Penguins are 9-1 since 2008 under Bylsma in game three's. I fully expect them to turn up the intensity another notch and sieze the momentum in this series tonight. Everyone has to be better, offense, defense, goaltending and special teams.

I also expect a ton of Pittsburgh fans to be in attendance in Tampa tonight.

Can't really afford to go down 2-1 in the series. Let's go Pens!

I think Tampa will win tonight but the Pens will win Games 4 and 5 and win the series.

PLAY FUCKING PHYSICAL!!!

I didn't watch a second of the last game, but from what I've read after....Pittsburgh played like little sissy nannies. Thats unacceptable on your home ice.

Are you kidding me.......they're passing out 15,000 drums to the Tampon fans in attendance. This is hockey not some African tribal ritual!

GO PENS!

Downie took out Lovejoy which was called a penalty, he left his feet and he should have been ejected.

I can't believe all Downie was going to get for that hit was a two minute penalty, it was a blatant attempt to injure by a notorious repeat offender!

Yeah that should have been an ejection. My guess is he will be getting something.
