Nicely done, Pens!
Now I'd like to see the Oilers beat the Ducks.
Also glad Suban got a fine for his soccer acting!

Seemed like an awful lot of point blank opportunities that didn't go, on both sides, maybe more for the Pens.
Death. Taxes. Pens over Caps.
Can't imagine how pissed I'd be if I were a Caps fan, considering who the Pens had to roll out on D and still getting shut out. But that's why hockey is a vastly superior game to basketball. It can be really hard to score, you aren't gifted anything, and often the Gods of Probability just feel like stepping on your neck and kicking you in the balls. Ovechkin is going to see that one-timer deflect off Fleury's stick for a long time.

Glad Edmonton is out. They have had 4 first overall picks in the last 6 years culminating with McDavid. It seems so wrong to reward such incompetence the way the NHL has, that's why I can never cheer for them. They ruined the Draft lottery for the rest of the rebuilding teams.
I hope Nashville and Ottawa can make it through, both teams were built honestly.
Gerry.

Gerry,
Don't you know the NHL (Bettman especially) is all about parity.
They don't want a team to become the NY Yankees of hockey, or the big markets with deep pockets to get all the best players.
Still, the Oilers have been so bad over the last few years, maybe they deserve a break? They won't get a high draft pic this year I think, unless they've traded for one.
I too hope Nashville and Ottawa end up playing each other. But I think the Pens are going to the final AGAIN.
We can hope though, right?

Yes, get up 2-0 on them quackers!
Should be a crackin' game tonight, ANA is not going to like the idea of having to fight back from an 0-2 deficit.

Oops,
Not so good for the Preds. Bummer, as I'm no fan of the Ducks.

That was a gutsy performance with 2 of the top 3 centermen out.....Hope Fisher is back on Monday. Pretty sure I have a ticket for Monday...just have to talk to a buddy in the morning. They are getting pretty hard to come by. Two games to close it out and play for the Cup.

No rooting interest in the west, but it sure looked like if the Ducks focused less on gooning it up than playing hockey they might have done better. But then,the refs are letting anything short of stab wounds and brass knuckles go uncalled, so I see their point. That late penalty on Subban happened about the same time as an obvious interference and double trip by the Ducks. What?? Nothing to see here.
