I didn't actually watch the game, but if you ask me, the Penguins lost because they didn't play their game.

They let Tampa Bay dictate the play.

Keys for Pittsburgh for game 2:

- just focus on doing the little things right
- play their game
- take it one shift at a time
- get back to playing simple hockey
- trust their teammates
- don't get down on themselves
- play with energy
- don't focus on being down by a game in the series - just play the game
- feed off the energy of the crowd

His last 25ish games including the playoffs were brutal. Something like a 20-30 point pace.
- daeth

1 goal and 5 assists in his last 25 games. 19 point pace.

That just hurts Matt.

It was a pretty nice give-and-go for my 20th in 9 games.

Toews has gone AWOL for an entire series more than once during cup runs and nobody questioned it. Since his teams have been so stacked they've managed to still win when he has done that. A guy like Thornton does that in his prime and that's it, game over. Nobody else could carry the load so they're out. One guy is the best leader of a generation and the other is a choker. Interesting.
- daeth


does he disappear in terms of his defensive play as well? toews isn't an elite producing center, rather his strong defensive play help out his team way more. if he's producing, it's more of a bonus.

Trump is going to win in a landslide.
Hillary will be exposed for the crook she is and all they have on Trump is he slay's female doges, is really rich and called Rosie O'Donnell a fat pig.

Well...at least he lived up to his reputation of being a massively inconsistent player. Unlike Tarabeasto

I sure hope we don't draft a #1 C, those are so easy to get through trades and free agency . . . .
- Cfser

No teams trade away #1 centres.

it's floor hockey, 20 goals in 9 games is pretty average. i play in the playon tournaments and usually average over 2 a game.

also, it might have been nicer than i remember, i just remember that you were shooting at an empty net.

without his offense he'd be a 3rd or 4th line checking center. luckily he usually puts up big numbers too.

and yet they still have krejci and bergeron, that's crazy when you think about it. also, lost savard due to a freak injury. how is boston so lucky to have these centers, and the leafs can't even draft 3 in their lifespan?

Not to talk politics or anything but Justin Trudeau drove by my house an hour ago and is at the church down my road attending a funeral. Quite the security detail with him. Also, I noticed activity around the church all weekend and apparently it was his security there ahead of time doing due diligence.

The goaltending in that league was pretty good actually. I was 3rd leading scorer. .....until that play when I got hurt.

Yeah the net was empty cuz the goalie dove at me. I side stepped him snd backhanded it in while simultaneously planting my leg and tearing my ACL.......one game before the playoffs.

The fact that the Leafs have only selected twice in the top 6 rounds in the past 20 years may have something to do with it.

Tarasenko has really only been ok these playoffs but he's still almost a point a game. That shot

I had my tires rebalanced and rotated on Thursday. Then got a wheel alignment on Friday. I like cheese.

Everybody is a racist that doesn't agree with Illegals bankrupting states, Muslims coming into the country with little to know documentation or willingness to assimilate. The your a racist is straight out of Marxist playbook. It's so old and way overused. Go Un-Cuck yourself.

At least Mexico will start winning the high jump at the Olympics - with all that training they'll get jumping over that new fence of his.

Everyone knows that if you go cheese shopping, you have to have your car in working order.

It's all about safety.

krejci and bergeron were both drafted in the 2nd rounds? what does drafting in the top 6 have to do with anything? leafs drafting has been awful.
