It’s hard to think of an athlete in any sport quite like him (Geno). Bill Russell comes to mind, because nothing on the outside changed the way he played, and he was technically better (and probably a whole lot more strategic in his thinking) than everyone he went up against.

They’re looking terrible tonight.

Too many dumb plays. Malkin especially.

And the PP is still powerless.

Gonna take an incredible third period to turn things around.

Yep, I was wondering if it was too good to be true that they started well. That second period and the PP, yuk.

I'll have to watch the rest of the game on dvr due to an early morning tomorrow.
Good luck Pens!

They always seem to have one bad game in a series.

I hope they got it out of their systems.

How much fun is this? Love my city, love my team, and everyone else is finding out how impressive these guys are. Glorious domination.

These guys are everything we were told about San Jose last year.

Big, fast and relentless.

Looks like it’s headed for a “Best Of 3” series.

Can the Preds win in Pensburgh Thursday?

I’m thinking YES - they’re on a roll with a hot goalie.

Then the Pens go down in Predsville Sunday and the Preds hoist Stanley.

If only we had some commentators who were not so biased. I”m sick of them being surprised by our fanbase but disrespectful of our team. I’m sick of hearing someone knifed the puck(not the right verb) or how it squibbed in. Get a new thesaurus.

I’m sacrificing a few glasses of wine to the hockey gods, Let’s go Pens!

Guentzel-Crosby-Sheary

Sheary stunk on this line during the the Columbus series, hope he’s learned something.

Sooooo....thinking L2 will go Rust-Malkin-Kessel. This line worked early on because Kessel was the primary playmaker and Malkin got Kessel the puck. Hope that’s the plan today.

Hearing Hornquist may be out. I’m not a fan so no biggie there.

Preds are really good. Pens will have to be on their toes! Mistakes WILL go into the net.

3-0 Pens after one period, Crosby came to play, Kessel and Malkin cash in LOL! Don’t let up, these Preds are dangerous......

Crosby wisely engages Subban again.

Kessel selflessly forgoes a shot for a great pass to Malkin.

This is a TEAM.

Yup, Crosby knows 4 on 4 favors the Pens. Take Subban out, profit!

PS - Kessel looks great.

Rinne pulled.

Time to play solid defense and smart offense.
