Why am I still watching? Has anyone had a good night? Sutter scored that goal, but hasn't really looked good sense. Also, WTF happened to our Power Play?

I wasn't a an of firing bylsma until these playoffs there are about 3000 coaches in the world that would kill for the talent he was handed an he does nothing with it.

Boston's back checking is phenomenal. Only good thing that could come out of a series loss is Bylsma getting canned

Pretty bad night I'd say. Confidence of Boston 10, Pens 0. Odd but true.

I respect Boston but I never would imagine they would come into Pittsburgh and female dogslap them the way they have. I'm stunned at the lack of urgency by everyone. Pathetic. Boston has owned them in every facet of the game so far.

The Pens have a major hole to climb out of now down 0-2 going on the road to Boston. This series might never get back to Pittsburgh.

Leafs started their series against Boston by using talentless bums like Kostka and Maclaren because of "grit". They inserted players who could make actual skilled hockey plays with Gardiner and MacArthur and should have won the series.

Bennett and Despres...

- Gunner Staal



Bylsma has yet to put his best lineup on the ice in these playoffs. His treatment of Despres this season was nothing short of insanity.

That being said... None of our depth players makes a difference in this game. You can't make the monumental errors that they're making and win against a good team.

So who does Bylsma start in goal next game? Id say Vokoun.

Playing well or bad, we are not getting any bounces this series. The 1st game we were supposed to win and we just couldn't score.

Dupuis is back to earth. Crosby is sucking.

bruins are too much physically for the pens and they are intimidated. its why the leafs were the bruins biggest challenge so far. leafs had team toughness. pens certainly have way more talent and skill but it means little if u are too intimidated to use it. at least it isn't your goalies fault this year

Missed Boston's fifth. So, who choked? The defense on a TO, failed clear, or did Fleury act like a squirt goalie? I'm sure the goal wasn't earned based on anything I've seen. No heart, little effort, no purpose.

Crosby needs to put that jaw thing back on. He played better

You make your own luck. Even if the pens didn't get any puck luck the score should be 2-1 at the most.

Well... Game 3 I come back with Fleury... Vokoun was fine but it's time for him to back stop the team. I don't care about goal 4. Next game is a new start

- drummer829

He should. He must get canned if we can't play against Boston. Lack of effort. No speed by this team. No D.

somebody explain to me how toronto can take these guys 7 games and blow game 7 and the big bad pens can barely score a goal. Teams learn to adjust to the way their being played. Blysma is so overmatched when he coaches these other teams. He needs to go this is pathetic.

Im assuming the Pens wont score 5 unanswered here, but you put this game behind you and move on. Did their D play awful tonight? Yes. But you adjust and move on.

At this point Id still go with Vokoun. The first goal Fleury let in was god awful. Second one, not so much his fault. Another horrible breakdown. But Id say none of the ones Vokoun let in were his fault.

Bylsma is a poopty coach. We have won inspite of him. He shows no emotion and can't make any adjustments. I think my son's squirt coach could do better. I'm not kidding.

If Fleury doesn't let in another goal, I think he will get the start. Either way we probably aren't going to be winning game 3 because of stellar goaltending.

Yeah, Bylsma only coaches them to play one way. If that way isn't working, they've got nothing.

Pens fans don't lose hope!

Leafs were "done" before the series even started... Leafs were "done" after they lost Game One 4-2... Leafs were "definitely done" after losing Game Three 5-2, and there was "no chance in hell" they were coming back from a 3-1 deficit.. Well, we did even up losing, but come on, 10:00 minutes of bad hockey from an inexperienced team.

Pens have the pedigree and firepower if they can just get it going here.
