it could have been a 3 on 0 breakaway...and I would still have blamed him...plus I'm watching the Pitt feed (as a test of mental fortitude)......it's not working...will probably have to switch soon

I would put the Devils radio announcers on, but they suck.

I'd rather not watch the game if I was forced into the Pitt feed.

One thing I don't like about that new Elias line is that there aren't any righty's on it.

I'm on Gamecenter...so i can switch it....but it's been a pretty good day...took my son to the park for a couple hours...beautiful weather...figured I would try to irritate myself....kind of a warm up for work tomorrow...I thought the announcers were gonna start crying when Neal got the penalty

I like that Poni-Zajac-Kovalchuk line, and our fourth line looks really good tonight too.

First time in a LONG time, we've had four solid lines.

I usually just laugh at it.

They will use things to favor the Penguins, like instead of "Clarkson runs into Fleury" it's Clarkson bulldozes over Fleury, even if it's not that much of a collision.

I think we should flip Clarkson and Zubrus.

Sykora-Henrique-Zubrus has had shifts after PP with good momentum and we saw what Parise-Elias-Clarkson did Friday.

bernier looks like a steal, sure he wont put up points but he wont give any up and he is solid on the puck, something you need on the 4th line


also like how they are giving josefson time on the kovy line when zajac is missing his shift to keep his mins down

Bernier should never sit for Janssen.

Its also Larsson's job to clear it like he means it when the pressure's on. Were the Devils not "all in" with him, he should have been sent down a few times this year.

In general the guys need to know that if you're under pressure it's okay to ice the puck.

He tried to give it to Kovalchuk, Kovalchuk didn't even look back, you can fault them both but Kovalchuk should've been looking back how are you supposed to know where the puck is going looking forward?

I don't know what the Pens play by play commentators name is but he is a (frank)ing idiot. Seems all he does is female dog about a non call on the opposing team.

Not talking about that just in general, can't stand those announcers. Got to be the worst in the league.

Jack Edwards is No. 1, but it's close.

it was a good game, one that was closer than the box score looked

we could have easily buried 1 more goal that would have made the last 2mins alot more interesting with the pressure, even though we are god awful with the empty net

we had scoring chances, and we gave up too much defensively but we were still in the game, its not like we were dominated or anything

series is tied at 3

we need to find our winning ways again before the playoffs start, tuesday we need to get the 2pts

I'd say it's completely even. Steigy and Errey make my ears bleed. I feel for fans of other teams that have to listen to them......'cept maybe rags or flyers fans.....

well we were able to play with them and outplay them. unfortunately mistakes decide hockey games many times..

don't look now, but we may end up playing one of buffalo or washington.. florida may be knocked out after all this time. Wash and Buff are playing great hockey.

don't get me started on how much i hate both of them. They're the worst in the league IMO. ..i'd prefer Sam and Joe over them. I kinda like Sam Rosen. He's a bit over the top sometimes but he's New York. I like his passion for the game.

Pens announcers just whine and complain like children its unbelievable. I've watched them and get blown away with how they're even allowed on the air. SO unprofessional EVERY game. boohoo. idk if Crosby created that culture or what but its disgusting.
