Philly trash is Philly trash. Enjoy the offseason, dipshits!

Hurling $14 beers onto the ice .........real smart. 

Was hoping the Jackets could extend the series.

Now it a pens and caps again.   Bad feeling that the caps finally get by them and the quest for 3peat is over.

Should be quite a series. 

Tough one last night .........probably a must-win in Pitt tomorrow.

It is a must just win 

At least with Wilson suspended, there's much less of a chance that an important player for the Pens will be hospitalized tonight. I was getting to the point where I'd endorse, in the case of them losing the series, one of their lesser guys re-enacting that Claude Lemieux-on-Kris Draper hit from 1996 just so while the rest of his team was playing on, he'd be in a hospital eating meals through a straw.

Typical POS  Pittsburgh response.

I like it.  I like it a lot!

Pens do not allow Ovechkin a shot on goal in the 3rd period, and only allow 3 total SOG in the period - wow.

Fuck the Pens and letang got what was coming to him. That is all 

Agreed.  He deserved to come out of that game with a W.

He'd gladly trade a butt whooping for a W

I'm sure he's used to it. The Pens are enormously skilled but more than a bit soft.

That's not untrue.

Most times game 5 is huge when it's 2-2.  

I’m surprised the pens weren’t crying for a suspension for oshie 🙄🙄

I'm not surprised the Washington fan is crying.

Looks like there was a bit of a very unwanted meltdown last night, going from up 3-2 to losing 3-6 in 20 minutes.

It was a great run with back to back titles.     A few pieces nex4 year, a better start to the season and the Pens can contend next year.    After the bad start I'm surprised they even made the 2nd round.    

CANNOT keep a team like tho Caps down forever.   Can they get by TB?  I think with this monkey off their back of not getting past Pitt will allow Wash toease that pressure.   Now its....ugh......just following tho Reds...

Naw Pens will easily come back and win this series and the cup.  Greatest team of our generation and they will show why tonight.

Wouldn'tthat be great?!  In a few weeks watching the Pens one night, the Cavs the next when they are beating up GSW?

Unfortunately its the Caps year..

"Man, all this over-the-top double reverse jinx talk sure adds a lot to any sports discussion!!!"

Said by no one ever.

I'll take the Pens, 5-4.

Yeah, I think they'll come out hard and with enough desperation to win tonight (although I could also see them start nervously and get buried), but I don't currently have much confidence they'll win at Washington in Game 7.

So far, it's seemed to me that the Caps have outworked them for a good portion of the series, being more aggressive in controlling the puck, and Pittsburgh seems to be good for a couple moronic turnovers leading to breakaway looks by Washington every single game. If they can't improve on puck handling, they won't have a chance.

Tough one ........both goalies played well.  You are right about the puck handling...........not as sharp as we have come to appreciate.
