It is AMAZING how well they play knowing they can rely on their goalie to make the saves.

I see NO Iginla or Neal in the PP...

Love to see Martin out there. He's our best QB.

HCDB also knows there's no need to risk a shortie...so hence 2 defensemen.

Fleurys terrible play took attention away from how bad nabby has been, realisitically he has been bad in every game . Imagine if they had a goalie?

At least flower had games 1

Vokoun has been great and a calming presence. The Pens in turn have played MUCH better since any point since game 1. Kind of a chicken or an egg, but you have to stay with what works.

Finally switching Kunitz and Iginla helped too, immensely.

It makes you wonder with the success that Vokoun has had against the Islanders this season if he is in their minds right now. Even though the Islanders played well in that first they had to be disappointed that they didn't come out of it with get at least a goal.

Sh*t ton of money for laptop, 4G, and HI def TV.

No Rat. No Jimmc, no daman, no trolls after a Pens win.

Priceless.

Great point. Took HCDB long enough, but it paid immediate dividends.

Remarkable that it took Bylsma 2 games longer to see what Pens nation saw after game 2.

Last night, I told the folks in the Isles room not to get cocky...the Pens had a viable option to turn to in goal, the Islanders don't. They have to sink or swim with Nabby.

Unbelievable how long he took to realize that

Awessome! Hope we don't take them lightly next game. We need to close this series quick.

Little bit of a scrum on the boards and okposo starts mouthing off while depres just pushes him away laughing at him.
