Like I said, the Pens have their moments where they are great and where they are awful. Against a better team, they would be down in a series.

And was that a garbage goal too?
5-0 Tampa. Beatdown.

LOL!

I thought you put the trolls on your ignore list and guaranteed you wouldn't respond?

It is what it is.......Pens did this last year against Ottawa and went up their for a game six and closed it out. No reason why they can't do it again.

Who's responding? You guys are a joke, I gave an opinion and all of a sudden I'm responding?

Yeah, the Pens could very well close it out next game in Tampa. I'm hoping that Tampa gets all of their scoring out of their system today. LOL

What a debacle. Sure glad I woke up by the crack of noon to watch this. Now, it looks like I'll have to find something productive to do before it's time for beers in a couple hours. They played good in the early going, but couldn't get the puck in the net...then everything blew up and this one got ugly immediately.

Sure laugh, but against the Caps, Sabers, or even Habs, I think the Pens would be down or tied. Just my view.
That is not even counting the West, where the Pens would surely be down.

That said, I still think the Pens win the series, just unsure if it is 6 or 7.

Coach Disco needs to take some of the blame for this one, he had them come out flying and they couldn't maintain it after the Tampons scored.

I'll keep laughing at that one too.

Not that crazy considering they are playing the Pens. It would be even more tilted if Criesby was out there flopping around.

Agree, total choke. Have to give TB some credit though, they came to play today.

Could this be the Chicago and Vancouver series?
Tampa could use this as a springboard for Game 6, much like Chicago did in game 4, for game 5 and now they have all the Mo.

7-0. Big Fail.

This is embarrassing. At least the Chicago killing of Vancouver was in Chicago.

Well, the good news is no matter how much of a blowout this game is.....it only goes in the books as 1 loss and the Pens will still be up 3-2 in the series.
