thank you for handing us the NHL darling keys look at those calls hahahahahha the refs have turned

Seriously. You could see unitzs jersey get pulled back the. He's shoved goths ice hen 8 seconds later they call him for a love tap on the shin. If that call issue everytime it happens you'd end up goalie on goalie.

2 goals we're gifted by officiating. Sorry but the call to make it 5 on 3 was terrible and if that call that Kunitz got was called every game their wouldn't be 5on 5 hockey.

pretty sure the Pens were the recipients of a couple of marginal calls this series, as were the Flyers.

those things tend to even out.

The last goal was one idiot trying to start a 2 on 3 break at the end of a penalty killing shift instead of getting the puck down the ice. PeeWee mistakes, franking disgusting.

Like I said before...men's senior league teams could score on these guys today.

Wait...the series has started?

Somebody please tell the Penguins that...

Pee wee, indeed. That is making pee wee hockey look bad.

everyone knows it except the goalies.

If the Pens get swept...do you think Bylsma could lose his job?

Anyone who says refs are deciding this game is kidding themselves.

Bad calls or not. Some people need to open their eyes. We've given up 18 GOALS IN 8 PERIODS. That is beyond atrocious.

And I don't mean that to be disrespectful of the Flyers...they deserve to be ahead and win it at this point.

I'm just embarrassed by what I am seeing from players that can and should know and play better.

like the offside that should not have counted...game one pens win period...

Announcers just said Neal has 8 of Pens 24 shots

If the Pens get swept...do you think Bylsma could lose his job?
- icedog97

You beat me to the question.

I think his leash gets shorter. If there's another 8 game losing streak next year, or a prolonged period of lose play....

predictions for the 3rd period?

I say 11 - 9.

Eagles kick a field goal, but Big Ben with the last second TD pass.

Getting tired of Schenn diving everywhere, dude gets crosschecked with a love tap from Asham and acts like he was going to lose teeth. The penalty was deserved but that guy was back in the game in 3 minutes. HorseSh47 calls on the Pens, totally miss the Xcheck Kunitz tookl before the last slash.

Flower is a Weed. WTF happened to this guy. Said it last game too, he is losing this series because he can't make 1 big save when we need it. Normal flower comes up big and the team rallies.

Oh well, I guess we'll see how Filthy likes a 2 goal lead in the 3rd....Ugh I can't believe I just wrote that...What a sorry hockey game. Still hoping we can pull it out.

BJ is in...

It's not even something you could imagine during the regular season...let alone the playoffs against your bitter rival.

So the Canucks are starting Scheider in their game three. All I am wondering is; Can the Penguins start Schneider in Game 4?

I know it's not all Fleurys fault, be save after the Neal goal and the Staal goal could have kept the momentum in the Pens favour.

It's too late Bylsma. Unless you have a plan for Game 4.

you lost me at "love tap from Asham"

No

IMO, Dan lost this team. There is no excuse as to why they are playing so bad. Hard decisions will need to be made. A coaches performance is based on that of the team. What would you say about the team's performance?

Well, BJ in.

You beat me to the question.

He is so generally well liked compared to Therrien that it would take a lot IMO for him to lose his job.

Not just that.... but of that 18, there have been 3 shorties, and 6 PP goals. And there's your series there.
