What about adjusted ratings for TNT and ESPN if they were in 100% like NBC is?

I'm just going off of what I've seen. I'm sure Heat/Pacers did better though. Just happy they beat out MLB.

What I'm pissed about is the double standards in this league. Cooke gets a game misconduct for a hit that was only 2 min. Marchand 2 hands Neal from behind while taking 5 strides and only 2 mins. I guess if Neal would have acted like that pansy ass bitch McQuaid did, maybe a major would have been giving. Complete bullshit.
Aww you mad? Which one of these players has a history of being the dirtiest player in the league?

Also - Crosby picking on Chara was great, if only he dropped the gloves with him. Malkin fighting was one of the dumbest things i've seen in a long time. I'll gladly give up Patrice for 5 minutes if it means Malkin is gone too.

I don't think you switch goalies just yet, but Vokoun gives up a lot of rebounds and doesn't always handle the puck very well which could lead to a bunch of garbage goals because of the way Boston charges the net. The first goal was a deflection that still should have been stopped and the second goal was a because he couldn't hold on to the puck. I don't blame him on the third goal because by that time pitt was in full attack mode to try and get on the board. Also - they rang so many posts that it could've easily been 3-0 pens at the end of one which means we wouldn't be talking about switching out Vokoun.

It's looking like it'll be a great series, especially if star players like Bergeron and Malkin are already dropping the gloves.

@PensInsideScoop: #Pens goalie Tomas Vokoun said that coach Bylsma told him he was starting Game 2. -MC

What's got me mad is the fact McQuaid knew Cooke was coming. It was still a penalty, not a major.

Last team to comeback from 0-2 deficit in conference final was PIT vs BOS in 1991.

That was a shit kicking.

Vokoun, 3 goals allowed on 12 shots, Fleury, 3 goals allowed on 17 shots. Who gets the nod in game 3? Does it matter?

Neither one of them looked pretty good trying to stop breakaways caused by complete breakdowns. So it might not matter unless a lot of people get their shit together.

You still can't blast a player in the numbers into the boards. He should be happy he wasn't suspended with his record.
