wow that was nice by bones. liked him crossing the red line to eliminate the threat of icing too.
- stayinthefnnet

He didn't cross the red

That was an all or nothing kill shot

wtf just happened. 3 shots in almost 40 mins and 2 go in

What the fvck did I watch tonight??... Most perplexing game of hockey I've ever seen...

Once again this thread tho

i dont know man im obviously very happy with the turn of events right there at the end, but jesus they were not good tonight.

too many defenders just were absolute liabilities.

hainsey is just the void he is. but schultz and cole were both bad tonight. they just cant afford that.

Did he cross? I thought it was behind the red line.
- madmike71

Think he was closer to our blue line then center ice...

Gotta feel for PK, put so much energy into dat goal celebration...only to be walking out of PPG Paints a defeated man

Man, Murray has been hit like 5 times in this game. Took one to the head too.

Well shots are 5 to 4 in the third...not like they killed us in the end. But sully will be pissy...and that will be a good thing. Look for hags speed in this series soon

Sully should be furious... we played only about 8 minutes that game. 11 freaking shots?


Tanner's blog is gonna be great though

Can we play a worse game? I hope Sully can make some adjustments.

Hey, that counts as a shot too

Two shots 2 goals.

Aside from the last 6 minutes of the 1rd and the last 3 minutes of the 3rd they could not have played any worse. Nashville played a near perfect game other then the 5-3, Pens played like dog poop. I have to believe the Pens will be better in game 2.

You mean the one where he says the better team lost and just replaces Washington with Nashville

But analytics are god...again another pens game that proves it's garbage. Too many variables in the game of hockey to use analytics to predict anything.

Murray is our man!

im a pretty big fan of schultz. and cole has had stretches where he has been really good this post season.

tonight was not one of those nights.

schultz wasnt good. cole was trash. hainsey renders dumo largely just trying to tread water. and maatta is either locked in or a lost (frank)ing puppy anymore. tonight was the latter.

If the pens can win a game with only 11 shots and 4 in the last two periods combined...than I got to think Nashville is pretty worried

Letang is a 30min game player so it shouldn't be surprising.......and still, we're 3 wins away from the cup.

Hainsey is the guy that needs to sit. Ruhwedel can at least skate with these guys. Plus he's right handed.

i think swapping out hainsey for ruhwedel makes a pretty nice difference. is he officially cleared from his concussion?

Honestly it was the perfect way to win game one.

Yes... and don't forget a shot or two at Trump... and this his whining in the comments that he calls "debating" with his "facts" that are just opinions for a few hundred posts.

He might be one of the dumbest "smart people" (I'll assume his claim of having a Masters is real) I've ever seen.

Where does Nashville even go from here. You play a bear perfect game but still lose. Must be demoralizing as Frank. Congrats on the win guys. Hopefully game 2 has a little more action hahs
