Let's hope Caps/Bruins goes into at least 8 overtimes.

Other than the PP’s both Caps and B’s 1st and 2nd lines not scoring much. 3rd and 4th line coming up big. They must have anchors too.

I haven't been able to watch all of them - but the one's I've seen have been great. Except the Islander loss yesterday.

Is he on third line? Just curious. He scored last game too. He’s been good for Bs.

That’s the problem the consistency from game to game just isn’t there.

He was a good PU for them for sure. PP I think as well, but not sure. 2nd line.

2nd OT for them tonight. Perfect, every game should go to double or triple OT

Yea it’s brutal in our series. The others I’ve been watching they are letting them play. For whatever reason they’re calling ours like it’s regular season. And not calling anything on Pens unless they have too. Complete horsesh!t.

I guess I hate Marchand slightly less than Wilson, so I guess the Bruins' win is good. It's so hard to tell.

I think the league wants tight series so last game it was advantage Pens to even it up.
Just my opinion.

Was Ovie really screaming at Samsonov which was being suggested by Olchyk?

I mean, Samsonov knows he (frank)ed up, I don’t think screaming at him like that accomplishes anything.

Didn’t see the 2nd OT. If that true I agree that’s pretty sad.

Are the Canadian teams ever going to be able to leave Canada to play in the Conference Finals?

That division is so soft anyway might as well just stay home. Don’t have a shot vs any of elite teams in other divisions. Maybe Winnipeg. Watching Avs Blues now. Avs are insanely good in every facet. Maybe it’s bc Blues can’t defend and slow them in neutral zone but man they’re good.

Yeah they are a young team that has grown together. Sakic has done a real good job building there.

I know the refs are hampering it but we have to play physical tonight. That’s how we’re going to win this series. You watch these other games they make our first two games against the Pens look like icescapades. That’s exactly what the Pens want.

Totally agree. We're not going to beat the Pens with our high end skill. And they have good speed too. It's going to take EVERYONE to help out, banging bodies, crashing the crease for rebounds, etc.

Since the second line is struggling too I would like to see beau moved to the barzal line.

Maybe get Zajac a chance to play with Nelson and Bailey and give clutterbuck or komerov the day off.

100%. This team when it’s at its best is playing a hard nosed physical game. It’s not a big secret that’s the best way to counter the Pens talent it’s pretty well documented. I think we were physical in games 1&2 just not the level we need to be to make the Pens second guess running our goaltender or getting bodies in front.
