If there is one thing to learn in these playoffs is that the team on the short end of a lopsided score came back to win the following game. I would expect a 3-2 Pens in Game #4 .....just my guess.... I'm not so sure of that, after noticing more what Boucher is doing with these line matchups and having the last change I see the Senators winning both of these at home.

Oh..I'm sure you are probably right. I was just making an observation based on what I have seen so far. Game 2: Penguins 6, Capitals 2 (PIT leads series 2-0)Game 3: Capitals 3, Penguins 2 (OT) (PIT leads series 2-1) Game 6: Capitals 5, Penguins 0 (series tied 3-3)Game 7: Penguins 2, Capitals 0 (PIT wins series 4-3) Game 4: Rangers 4, Senators 1 (series tied 2-2)Game 5: Senators 5, Rangers 4 (OT) (OTT leads series 3-2) Game 6: Oilers 7, Ducks 1 (series tied 3-3)Game 7: Ducks 2, Oilers 1 (ANA wins series 4-3) Game 4: Sharks 7, Oilers 0 (series tied 2-2)Game 5: Oilers 4, Sharks 3 (OT) (EDM leads series 3-2) Matter of fact the only time it did not happen was Preds/Hawks. Game 2: Predators 5, Blackhawks 0 (NSH leads series 2-0)Game 3: Predators 3, Blackhawks 2 (OT) (NSH leads series 3-0) Again just an observation. Sens are playing extremely well and have the Pens on their heels. They very easily could be up 3-0 on Pens. Game $ should be a doozie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pittsburgh will come back and play a better game for sure, but I think Ottawa will get the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First goal takes a weird bounce off the boards. Second goal bounces off of Cole. Third and fourth goals are awful defense. The problems the Pens are having now is a result of having a banged up defense. Its not like Fleury is letting in softies. The Pens have come out slow in almost every game this post season, if they can't modify their game to come out in the first with some intensity, they the Sens will continue to take the lead and dictate play. Also, the Pens again went passive with the hitting last night, they really need Hornqvist back to put some physicality in their game. They are letting up every time they have the chance to hit the Sens defense(with the exception of Wilson and Kunitz). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJgoal Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Yeah, playoff Fluery hasn't made an appearance yet in this playoffs. In fact, I think the Pens would be out by now if not for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason it's even a question is because the "back up" happens to be a guy who won a Cup last year. If the Pens' back-up is...say...Grubauer...it's not even a question. I do agree with others on this point - it's a shorter leash for MAF for the exact same reason (i.e. - a more than capable "back-up"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the sounds of it, Daley will be back in the lineup, and Mark Streit is also going to be in there. Playing with seven on defense tonight, probably as a precaution, and also for Streit to play the power play point. Same line-up tonight. Rust, Schultz and Hornqvist out. 7 defensemen.

Regis is always rarin to go when it comes to the Pens. That being said the Pens mojo has been off by not having all 3 NBC Amigos drooling over them in this series. I'm sure Edzo will miss the game again tonight because he is busy interviewing...er, handicapping horses for the race tomorrow.

I guess I'll be listening to the game on mute between those guys and Noah Webster Emerick. I wonder how many times Regis McPenguin will mention Kristopher Letang's name tonight, even though he hasn't played a game in months. The over/under is 4. I'll take the over.
