I don't need to get my hopes up, I know you'll find a way to weasel out, it's what cowards like you do.

lol...how can you sit there and comment about using the same "joke 100 times"?

Take the bitching to the basement or PM. This thread is about the Pens rolling Tampa Bay.

(Insert Rock comment about how the league is out to get the penguins and how Kunitz shouldn't be suspended because the guy he hit shouldn't have stuck his head out in front of Kunitzs' elbow)

Rock said they both would get suspended, you said Downie wouldn't.

I said he most likely wouldn't based on the torres hit.

Yes. Let us move on to game 4 and whatnot. At least topics that don't make my eyes bleed.

Lighting tend to do well on even numbered games, i'm going with them to tie the series.

In the back of my mind I have a feeling that Stamkos might go off in one of the next two games. He only has one point so far so he's due. I hope I'm wrong.

They are 1-0 in even numbered playoff games this season! I can see them winning, as well, although I hope for the alternative. They'll be playing hungry, as being in a 3-1 deficit would be pretty brutal to come back from. After falling down 1-0, they really responded while Pittsburgh really seemed to regress. Now down 2-1, it'll be interesting to see how both teams come out for game 4.

I think TB will treat this game like an elimination game.

They both deserved a suspension. I think if it weren't the playoffs and were the regular season they might have gotten 2 or 3 games.

Tangradi is most likely the replacement for Kuntiz:
Coach Dan Bylsma suggested after practice that left wing Eric Tangradi is a possible replacement for Kunitz. Tangradi, who has played just once since Feb. 11, took regular line shifts at practice — and Bylsma lauded the dynamic Tangradi provides as a net-front presence.

It was a joke bro...hence the smiley.

Whats the deal with the TV lineup for the next round? If I have to watch every game from my laptop I'm going to be pissed.

I think Root Sports only has exclusive rights to the 1st round so games on VS. shouldn't be blacked out if they advance.

From the 2nd round on, each game will either be on VS or NBC.

Root Sports may have the entire semi-final round, but they definitely will broadcast some games. It all depends on the match ups and which games NBC will pick for their exclusive rights.

Conference finals and the Stanley Cup Final is exclusive to Versus and NBC.

Pens are hush hush on who will replace Kunitz tonight:

I think it will be Tangradi but personally, I'd rather have the more experienced Comrie in there. especially in the middle of a tight series.
