I love Jake and to think he’s a rookie. He should be better next year.

This game was so Pens. They find truly weird ways to win. I think 12 shots on goal.

Thanks.

It rained a little here in PA but it’s not gonna stop me from honoring our fallen heroes.

A great ceremony and now ending the day with a great win!

And I get to sleep in tomorrow!

Whew! That was close!

Too close, however a win. 37 minutes without a shot (a good shot). Did someone put sleeping pills in their water between period 1 and 2.

This is going to be a tough series.

4 goals on 11 shots for Rinne.

That’s gonna take a bite out of his stats.

Never count us out. We have come back from being down 3 goals and won before. It was doable. I’d like to see some of those holds called. And the interference. I hate the puck over glass penalty. It should not be a penalty, should be a face off in your end. I don’t care who does it, it’s a stupid thing to penalize for anyone. I wouldn’t change anything about our game, except for Neal’s cross check. Exciting game, with more speed than dirty play, unlike our last series.

Oh, I’m not counting you guys out. The Preds are probably wondering how they lost that game. Rinne had a stinker. He’ll tighten up by wednesday.
Neal has gotten that stupid penalty out of his system. I expect a good game in two days.
Pittsburgh can play much much better. Crosby pointed out that they were constantly missing the net on their shots which is the real explanation for that long shot drought. Pittsburgh better get themselves together or they’ll be on the wrong side of the bounces.

I liked the speed, Nashville looks fast. (Pittsburgh had some speedy players sitting who might be in next game) and always hate the “let them play” BS from the officials. I think puck over the glass is a safety decision. It keeps players from shooting pucks into the crowd to get themselves out of trouble on the ice. The penalty is a pain though (Pittsburgh had three in a row in last years playoffs)

Amazing game. Neal hits crossbar at 3-3, then Guentzel skewers Rinne with a perfect Fedorov-like shot. These Preds are tougher than last year’s Sharks, but Pens will always find a way to win when it counts.

I don’t think anyone can beat Chris Osgood’s career stats
(1.67 GAA in the Finals).

Subban and Malkin, 5 minutes to the sin bin. Score 4 - 1.

Extra 2 to Malkin. PP Predators.

Penguins are looking much better tonight, despite the PP and face offs.

And today Trump mentioned Pittsburgh twice in his speech.
Subtle endorsement?

Smart move by Malkin. As great as Malkin is — and he is doing a little bit of everything, not just scoring — Subban is even more valuable to his team, considering the minutes he piles up, and high-quality ones.

"I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris."

Not the Penguins as such, but we'll take it.

You're right. The body language of the Predators during the Subban penalty revealed a great deal.

Malkin took one for the team.
