I honestly didn't believe that was much more than incidental contact. Maybe a little on Neil, but c'mon....
- madmike71

eh. yeah. the nhl definitely does let the score dictate the calls though. if the pens were down 4 1, these arent penalties.

Eventually he'll be. Neal is one dimensional and does stupid stuff. I'd trade him for a Callahan, D.Brown, Backes in a second.

He was available after they got carter last year with the penguins as the favorites but shero thought the team was good enough with just the return of Crosby he's my second favorite nonpenguin behind kopitar

I thought Duper was Ok. Wooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't watch the game. Does it look like the Isles were a better team than the sens?
- mighty13duck

Yep, faster. More heart. Seriously.

I was more tense playing the Islanders than the Senators, for sure

In game 1's about the same. To early to tell but obviously the Isles we're tough 5 on 5

Not now, I am totally enjoying this. Please. Whatever will be will be......

good game fellas.....think it was really close at evens, but your specialty teams were ridiculous tonight.

if sens can stay out of the box, i think they can give you a run for your money, but if they don't.......

All for it...Oshie + though

I think we will be toughest team you face in the east. Not being a homer but we should have met you guys later on. Were better than a first round exit.

Game one is a bad comparison since that was the Isles first playoff game for pretty much every player.

Oshie/Sobotka for Neal. Done deal.

It's hard to stay out the way we are driving to slot and net.

Not nearly the speed or physicality the isles brought. This is just the 1st game and the pens/isles series started good for the pens too, but the sens are showing any signs of what the isles brought

the isles were a tough matchup personnel wise thats for sure. that team develops itself a goalie and its going to be a better one for a while. so much good youth, and guys like strome and reinhardt in the pipeline will be there with tavares before long.

Oshie/Sobotka for Neal. Done deal.
- Orpik44

Oh dear goodness yes haha. Too bad the blues have a level headed GM.

But hopefully Neal picks it up a little. A guy like him HAS to start scoring if the pens get into the finals

Neal is like the exact player as Moulson

come on man....the isles played with some heart, but if you seriously think the isles are better then the bruins, or even the rangers....well i want whatever you're smoking

Nisk killed Smith in the corner

I definitely think we are better than the Rangers minus the goaltending. Bruins are the team to beat, but I don't think they will be able to match the Pens in scoring.

- mighty13duck

would say Neal is better... minus dumb penalties

Neil being a D+ck, very very shocking.
