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

Bwhahaha... I'm grasping at straws here. The team is missing "something". TK has heart and balls, and that's about it.

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

Ehh starts with a capable goalie. Penguins aren't going anywhere without it. Incredible roster....Who do you blame? I'm Blysma then Flower, and Geno goes braindead way too often.

Awww 2 to 2. Hope they figure it out. Whatever it is.

We need something, I think I have it worst of all on this board. I live about 35 minutes south of Philly, so I have to hear about EVERY single penguins loss extra hard.

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.

Hard to argue too much against possibly putting Vokoun in for Game 5, but I remember earlier this season quite a few who thought Vokoun was garbage and why was he starting big games (I remember specifically Vokoun getting a start in Montreal and crapping the bed, I think quite a few were pissed at Bylsma for the slight to Fleury - i.e. not letting him start in his home province). I know regular season and the playoffs are different, but the truth is that Fleury is the better goalie.

Touche',my good man.

I like this MadCap2008 he has some spunk.

Been reading on some sites that while Blysma has full-charge of making player decisions, that if need be, the organization namely Shero, will take it out of his hands if he wants to start Fluery in Game 5. Then the writer states that what will this do to fluery and his future in Pittsburgh? My statement would be, "I couldn't care less about Fluery and his feelings or his psyche. Three years in a row p iss poor goaltending has doomed us. If Fluery was a teamplayer he would understand! If not, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Sorry for bringing this up in a Pens blog, but how the hell did Ottawa's 1st goal count tonight ? It appeared to be the classic "no-goal" for kicking motion/redirecting with the skate. Did anyone else see it ? It has changed the course of that series.

Think a little speed would help? Bylsma is an idiot dressing a useless player like Glass over TK. Vitale is a better player than Adams at this point too.

Ahem, quite right. Agreed but team as a whole needs to close the gap and not be so F'ing passive.

I hear you bro, i live in Doylestown, a half-hour NE of philly and I actually heard my neighbor screaming from across the street on Tavares' goal. I swear I wanted to burn his Flyer pennant he has swinging from his gutter!

I only saw the replay one time, but looked like an obvious kick to me.

Not really sad seeing Montreal gets screwed though lol

Vitale isn't a Disco guy....Adams is. Disco for some reason likes Glass more than TK. TK didn't have a good year but he's light years ahead of Glass.

I have an interest in seeing the Habs advance - if the Caps win, would love to see them match up with Montreal in the 2nd round. I thought going into the playoffs that the Habs/Leafs were the two worst teams.

my lineup going into Thursday

Dupuis-Crosby-Iginla
Kunitz-Malkin-Neal
Cooke-Sutter-Morrow
Kennedy-Vitale-Adams

Letang-Oprik
Martin-Murray
Despres-Eaton

Vokoun

Don't we all wish Bylsma would do that...

it is just sooooo simple. I am just amazed at how stubborn he is. it isn't a question about intelligence (he wouldn't be here if it was), it is just a case of a coach too stubborn to correct his mistakes.

it is really selfish and just a horrible way to lose.
