Perhaps, I was just think this series.
Overall, the Pens d is better, but right now, Buf is playing pretty well.

Buffalo is playing very well right now.

Philly is missing Pronger immensely.

In terms of the East, the Habs are playing pretty solid hockey and like last year could continue their hot streak.The Sabers have an even better defense than the Pens in my view and Miller is in Olympic form. He is the hottest goalie in the playoffs right now. Then there is the Caps, while yes they are Caps, it is a different team and they actually play defense.
I also doubt Philly or Boston advance, I like Buf. and Mon really.
Yeah, the East is open and so is the west.

I also think there are 6 teams better in the West than the Pens,but that is neither here nor there.

You must have been watching a different game, I mean Pittsburgh out shot Tampa almost 2 to 1 and never gave them a chance to get out of their own zone.

As for Buffalo, Pittsburgh has owned Ryan Miller and the Sabres over the years, and there's no way their first four defense is better than Pittsburgh's, not even close. Montreal is tough for anyone to play because of their sytem which Pittsburgh figured out last year but couldn't get anything past Halak who stood on his head (they shredded Tampa's 1-3-1 two games in a row now). Again, I like Pittsburgh's chance against anyone and they have proven that over the course of the last half of the season with otu Crosby and Malkin. They have a ton of playoff experience on that team too.

If any team scares me from either divison it's Detroit and their wealth of playoff experience.......no one's talking about them.

Rumors are floating around that Pronger is done. Set back in that broken hand (I believe it's his hand), possibly another broken bone. Personally, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

and

You obviously didn't read Ptowns post or it most likely went in one ear and out the other. He didn't say buffalo had better defense men, he said their defense is playing better this series.

To quote Mike Lange, "the turkey's on the table". Pittsburgh has to match the Tampons desperation tomorrow, if they can do that, this series will be over.

Agreed (sorry, rock) but it's a 2-way street and as much as Rock blows up and takes the bait.....they sure as hell like to set it. That gets old too.

I'm not perfect and argue on here at times but this is every fuckin' day, guys. Raise the white flags and just be done with it.

It's simple, get rid of these trolls and make no mistake, they are just that! I have no problem talking straight hockey, look at the dialogue ptown and I had, he made his point and I made mine, but what the butt brother's do on every single Pittsburgh thread is a shame.

Again, I'm not going to sit back and take shit from these degenerates.

I have been talking hockey all the time. Look at the last pens thread, I kept trying to get the discussion back and you still decided to act like a baby. Get over it, not everyone is going to agree with you. Your fellow pburgh posters are just taking it easy on you, because you are a pens fan. If you want to see what people really think about your posting habits, then take a look back at the World Cup thread.

Anyway, I think game 4 knocked the wind out of TB's sails. I think the pens close it out next game.

LMAO......ridiculous as usual! BTW, I don't give a flying fuck what you, your troll brothers or even Pittsburgh fans think about me!

It wasn't dialog, it was you telling him he was wrong because he said someone was actually better than pittsburgh. Looks at their GAA average, they've given up the same amount of goals and have had two shut out with lesser known players...i'd say he's right in that buffalo is playing better D, especially with the defensive talent pitt has.

I have tried to reason with the trolls, when you ask them to support their opinions right away it's "Crosby's a fag", or "Pittsburgh sucks" or "Rapistburger"........fucking joke!

Penguins have pretty much shut down stamkos and lecavelier, don't see why they won't move on to play Washington, which will be an awesome series.

This absolutely proves my point!

You and the other two trolls can't deal with someone questioning your opinion what so ever, those posts above prove it!

BTW, questioning someone's opinion is basically saying they're wrong especially when it directly contrdicts what you believe to be the truth. Although, you knew that......right?:rolleyes:
