I was thinking the same thing. They must feel like idiots right about now.

Believe me. They don't care that the islanders are in the playoffs.

YOURE SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he certainly gave me a hard time for predicting exactly what has happened....hmm weird.

...by any chance, did you throw beer bottles onto the ice last night??

watch the replay. morrow pushed martin into the bench...nothing to discuss really...

You guys think Letang will get suspended for crosschecking the linesman?
- Pete V

stopped reading after this....

....no

can you respond to your own players and fans cheering and laughing when johnson injured Dipietro??
- NYI78

Lets be honest here, even I was cheering what that happened.

I kid I kid...sort of

Here is to a possible career ending injury to Tavares, being cheered by the entire consol energy crowd. Then Crosby throwing a bucket of urine on a few Isles fans sitting in the front row.

But the Pens would argue that they were trying to get into the bench and the pathway was obstructed. That type of play will never be called, especially in the playoffs. All players involved knew exactly what the other was doing. It's part of the gamesmanship of the playoffs.
- jmatchett383

youve never played hockey before have you? i could only imagine if the only way to get on or off the ice was through the doorway...you must have incredible manners.

the boards to the bench isnt exactly the great wall of china....

One factor that I think folks are overlooking though is that Fleury has also made a lot of huge saves that Vokoun might not of. He had something like a .930 sv pct coming into the game, so while he's allowed some softies, he's also faced a ton of rubber and made some big saves in close. He's been very DP like in that sense (pre injury).
I do worry what a focused Vokoun will do to the series but still remain confident that we can win this thing as long as we keep our emotions and penalties in check.

yuup the defense hasnt slowed down the isles at all...you throw so many pucks on net, some are going to go in...

I told everyone that they will know what team I was rooting for shortly

OK your team has had their fun and if they lose now it would still be a decent first trip to the playoffs in awhile!!! Now it's our turn to take this series back. Please just go away...

Okposo and Strait playing way above the players they are!!!

Thought Game 4 the Pens we're better but still a ways to go.

He is a sugar daddy he is busy

I'll tell you it's not over confidence but these guys have matured so much in the last few months. The way they played that third period showed a lot of heart. I think we can win this and if we don't they deserve a huge amount of appreciation from the fans none the less. Those post game interviews with Martin, Nabokov, Hamonic, and JT brought tears to my eyes some of which was from laughing(Nabokov)It's incredible what they've turned into discipline and attitude wise. They are a playoff team in every sense of the word. I can say i was'nt expecting this especially after game one of the regular season. wow

I actually played 2 years semi-pro. Usually, when you exit the ice, you want to use the doors at either end of the bench. Yes, you can go over the boards, but that's far from the most direct way. Watch a game and see how many players coing off the ice use one of the bench doors as opposed to goign over the boards.

I have to agree. Everyone usually jumps over the boards. I know when I played they hardly used the doors

I would love to see the Pens be awesome a bit. The Isles seem to be doing all the awesome.

Screw it now I hope it goes 7... I haven't been angered/frustrated enough with this series

Ken is serving out his suspension through tomorrow. He'll be back to tell us how we were all wrong and he knew this would happen all along.

He should be here shortly, serving a ban for wanting to meet people out by the flag pole after class.

Move along little fella, you're not needed here. Sid is a target, get over it. We don't like him, and we're hoping he doesn't like us. Then, the feeling is mutual.

hamonic did a great body of laying the body on crosby...knocked him off his game.

I don't blame you guys for being surprised by the Isles play. The entire NHL and media underestimated the Isles all year. This team is better than an 8th place team and with a goalie, we could be top three in the league.

NExt game is huge. I expect the Penguins to come out flying. Problem is if the Islanders weather the storm in the first period, they might just come home up a game
