Timonen is nowhere near 100%, I bet after the season is over he will have back surgery.

Why was he so mad, someone asks?

Upset about the loss, but please rewind to about 5 seconds left in the game, after Claude had caught up to and deflected Matt Cooke's empty net attempt.

IMO, the league should definitely look at that play. 5 seconds left and the outcome is done and that basttttard takes a run at Giroux's head. Luckily Giroux's spider sense was tingling or he'd be concussed.

When they briefly showed Cooke skating backwards past the bench after the game had ended, you could see the entire bench was yelling at him.

What a POS

- GeorgeBailey


Did he go for Giroux's head or are you just saying that?

We get 2 vet D to make up for a missing vet D and captain. And they are also seriously injured. Mind boggling.

Umm no, Briere had him but could not get the puck elevated. Kudos for Fleury for having his pad down but he had to have it somewhere. Face it, your goalie isd good but not great. Is he better than Bryz? after this game yes but let's not get crazy.

I'm not going to debate semantics. He did what he needed to do, tonight...made saves when they needed him to do so. Just like he did in the finals. Dude earned a ring for his team and that's good enough for me.

many squandered chances early. the failed 3 on 1 on the sh situation when they were still up left me with a bad feeling. i'm pretty angry right now.
- hammarby31


Yeah I'm disappointed, I have a good feeling for Sunday though. I think they played a pretty good game tonight. Second period was not good, but overall they limited the Pens chances. Sucks to lose a game when you hold Crosby and Malkin scoreless.

Remember when Bryzgalov had that incredible shutout and win streak during the regular season and I told you guys not to get too excited because historically he has always been a streaky goalie. And then everyone chewed me out on here because they were convinced he had become the best goalie of all time. Well I'd just like to say told you so.
