Not seeing much from our stars which is unfortunate. Basically means it’s on Jarry to win us this game in his first even playoff start sine we insist neutering offensive zone starts with the ECHL pairing.

Whoever said that JJ is playing so bad that he'll get bumped up to the 2nd pairing wins the Mike Sullivan Curious Moves in Coaching Award.

Sid has had a good series, but not a great series. Geno hasn't had a bad series, but hasn't stood out at all. Neither are elevating their games the way they need to.

Chill, Rust was just killing a penalty.
- Tojo.

I thought I saw him with Crosby 5v5 a couple of different shifts or partial shifts.

Anyway, I'll stop. When Tojo tells you to chill, it's time to chill.

Pens seem to playing a bit more conservative and back a bit more.. This will effect the breakouts and attack.

They aren't trying to get in on Price hard enough. They are being kept to the perimeter. You're not going to break Price from the perimeter.

Per NaturaStatTrick, Crosby played 4:37 with Rust.

He played 15 seconds with Sheary.

Sullivan is getting fired, right?

- BINGO!

If they lose this series I have to think so. Johnson was 3rd in ice time that period. That should be grounds right there.

- BINGO!

If they lose this you'd have to think so... But... He won Rutherford B2B cups in recent history, so who knows...

The only certainty in all of this is Murray is on his way out.

That's the thing though, old man Ruth loves JJ...

A very short leash next season at the very least.

Except GMJR supports JJ. He signed him after all.

Honestly, I don't see this club getting any further even if we beat the Habs.

Unfortunately, the "he won 2 cups" and navigating all the injuries this year probably secures his job for at least one more year...

I don't know why, after Johnson refused to sign with him once before.

Also he (frank)ing blows.

That's all well and good, but this is Sully's team.

Johnson playing hard to get just made JR want him more.

Ok, I thought people were saying the opposite. Never mind.

Not to be negative, but does it even really matter right now with how the Pens are playing?

Both teams playing safe.

Sullivan is getting fired, right?
- BINGO!

They just signed him to a large 5 year contract. He's not going anywhere. They gave Bylsma 1000 miles of rope. Sully has two years more minimum.

Both teams playing safe.
- all-pgh

Both teams playing like they're worried about a bad bounce on crappy ice.
