Bylsma needs to be crapping on Malkin for his turnovers and Cooke for his untimely penalty, everyone knew they would score on that pp. he should go support Fleury but politely tell him that Vokoun is playing the next game.

Look at his roster! We are very Canuck like if he can't adjust to playoff hockey.

I saw Iggy throw 10 checks tonight and he missed with 7 of them. They are not paying the price at all. It sucks. Hit the man not the glass.

Blysma is a nightmare for in game adjustments. There just aren't any.

Iggy's a shell of his former self. He's slow and is easily knocked off the puck. Putting him on left wing is plain stupid. I'm not hanging all of this on adjustments. How do you blame Bylsma for Malkins turnover at the end.....no adjustment in the world is going to fix that.

Honestly, if i am Flower I pull myself for the better of the team.
It's worth a look. He is frightening right now, and the Penguin players know it.

No Vokoun next game , no Blowsma next year. Shero and Lemieux will not accept this garbage.

- Sell My Monkey

I think he will. He was beating himself with his stick after he got pulled. That say's it all

I'm one of Fleury's bigger supporters, he's not done for the playoffs but I think he needs a break from this series.

But that would cut into my drinking time!!!

And I'm a lush!!!

Speaking of which some blond named Kim who probably can't even spell her own name has beer waiting for me at the Ramada lounge so I must go.

She's my kind of girl.

Behave yourselves.

Malkin could have easily cleared that to center ice. That was on him.

Couldn't agree more. He's done for this series in my eyes.

I've supported MAF as well, but I agree that a change needs to be made for Game 5. What's his SV. % since Game 1? I'm afraid to look.

That puck needed to go up the boards. Iggy was wide open 15 feet in front of him, but Malkin chose to go toward the center of the ice.

I keep hearing the Benny Hill theme during that sequence. That was just ugly.

Just like the last game, this game didn't come down to reffing. Many of our players are mental midgets at this point. No offence to midgets....

Some of the worst goaltending I've seen in the playoffs from both of these guys. Terrible

What has he changed since the Isle dominated games 2 and 3. I wouldn't say they dominated4 but he just doesn't have any input on how the game rolls.

No goalie change, wasn't it obvious that Flower was struggling?

This is year 2 of embarrassing playoff performances. We are flat out lucky its 2 to 2. How much more do you need to see of a sickly talented roster play like noobs on ice in playoff time?

I really really really really don't want to say this. But does the team miss TK's energy?

It's the worst I've seen in the playoffs since, well the last Penguin playoff series.

As much as I hate him right now, I still give 92 the rest of the series and come back with Flower IF we get there.

You know what's really got me scared is most of our forwards are lacking any semblance of defensive instinct. You really have no idea what you're going to see shift to shift. Sad. That's on the coach.

In all that you can point to that has gone wrong, I have to admit I never expected "missing TK's energy" to be mentioned

Remember us clamoring for more leadership in the room after last April's dumpster fire?

Well we got it, let's see what happens Thursday.
