Ryan Wilson: How about those Pittsburgh Penguins How about those Pittsburgh Penguins

Yeah, how about those Pittsburgh Penguins! Just a great game. Louie Domingue could become a cult hero if Pens pull the upset.

Night recap Ryan.

Game 2 will be even harder to win. Rangers going to be very desperate not to drop 2 at home. Probably be a Rangers blowout haha.


I really want to know what MM said to the equipment guy on the bench after the OT goal went in haha.

That's a hell of a trip! I have been out to Milan for work, but haven't really seen much of the northern part, those are some beautiful areas though!

I'm sure you already have plans, but the best wine tasting I have ever had was at Ruffino there in Tuscany. Not the most prestigious or over the top location but it was like €35 and our host gave us a tour, opened about $1000 in wine plus espresso and charcuterie. Antinori tasting wasn't as special (though I really enjoy their wine) but worth the trip for the amazing facility.

Yeah we fly in on Nov 3 and out on the 12th, and most of the places are within an hour or 2 of Bologna so we are using that city as our home base for the week. It's going to be a busy one but we're trying to hit as much as we can so a day in each city haha. I'll let my friends know about Ruffino, I'm not much of a wine drinker so table wine is going to be fine for me. I'm there for the food haha.

Super stoked about the Osteria Francescana reservation, they won best restaurant in the world in 2016 and 2018 and came in the top 3 a few other times. Each dish looks like a work of art.

Pens got to weather the first 10 minutes. They're going to be buzzing. Get past that, quiet the crowd down, they'll be aight.

I really thought that was the wrong call on goalie interference last night until I looked at more angles. In those different angles you can see that Kakko was already headed for the crease, was already lined up to be hitting DeSmith and was even in the crease before Dumoulin really touched him... and Dumoulin barely touched him.

If it was other way around I would definitely be a bit sour and not totally letting it go yet, though. No doubt.

I thought it was blatant goalie interference live.

Feds texted me right and just said "Lol no way thats a good goal?"

I was actually shocked they even called it a goal on the ice. He pretty much bulled the crease and ran DeSmith out of it.

Anyone have the fancy goalie stats for DeSmith? Wondered how many expected goals were against him. I'm sure it wasn't as insane as Igor, but figured it was also pretty damn good for him.

Yeah I initially thought Dumo was much more of a factor in it than he actually was.

No props for Marino RW? He played well especially considering he was being hunted by Reaves for the first 10 to 15.

Jake looks the best I've seen him since before the injury. I don't mind that he chirps and wish he'd do it more to Shesterkin. Something to get him off his game.

After disappearing for the last month and a period it's nice to have Rust back. Here's Hoping Riks brain isn't mush and we can have 2 lines again.

I forgot how nice it is to be on the other side of a playoff OT.

Louis having spicy pork snacks before getting called into the game is hilarious. Another OT period and he's probably poopting himself

Used to make the mistake of eating hot wings before beer league. The in game heart burn is (frank)ing terrible.

Yeah in game heart burn or hunger...two brutal things to have while playing

Probably the best game Marino ever played....keep hitting him, Reaves...

Not sure I want that. I'd love to see someone plaster Panarin to the wall though. He's too skilled with the puck. Whenever he has it in our zone we get running around and leave someone wide open that he finds.

He's so good at creating space for others, it's wild. As soon as he gets the puck it's like he's a mesmerizing loaf of marble rye.

Why is Geno so friggen slow now

lol

He reminds me a lot of Kane in his prime. Just hold onto it long enough to draw in everyone, then find the open guy. Dangerous player for sure.

Why is Geno so friggen slow now
- BINGO!

Because he's 35.
