This feels a lot like that Boston series we got swept in years ago... they are forcing so many low chance shots from us.

Pretty much what I was afraid of from the start. They collapse and box out. The pens will pass all day looking for a perfect shot instead of just trying to get it through and fighting for it.

Yeah this isn’t interference or anything.

Fighting for shots should make the 2nd and 3rd line shine... they have that ability far more than Sid's line, imo.

Because your argument that Pelech jumped into Johnson's skating line is (frank)ing dumb. If it's incidental, it's only incidental because Johnson wasn't looking, not because it was unavoidable contact.

Never said jumped...both were going fast and because jj was spun around right before hand he lost focus. It's not even a hit..they collide hard and fast...jj was even cut in the face. No one hits face first..even jj.

The Pens need to combat the Isles playing the same game they are. The Isles hang back and let the Pens come to them, get caught deep and strike.

Lol what? The pens played well pretty well in the 4 games they played. Rask just played out of his mind. I was at the game that went into overtime in Boston and it was one of the best games I’ve ever watched in person.

Actually if you take a look at the way his head is angled there it really does look like he's looking up ice at a play. I think the other dudes might be right here.

Pens need to simply their game, theyre trying to force passes and its just going the other way. I think the Pens should look to slow down the game, stop trading chances and bide their time.

They’re both watching Sid with the puck. JJ going forward buddy going backwards. It looks bad from that view like I said. The other view JJ is not looking at him at all

Sid just basically said they need to take shots from anywhere and everywhere. Let's hope they actually take his advice. He needs to take his own advice too.

This is going to get (frank)in ugly. I feel like this is a scene in a horror movie and I have to look away.

Almost unbearable to see that called when crosschecks that injury players are ignored

But that doesn’t matter. It’s the same as an “accidental high stick.” Just like you have to be responsible for your stick, you have to be responsible for your body too. Can’t interfere with a guy who’s making a play towards the puck, accidental or not.

This PP blows but if we keep giving them chances they'll eventually score.

I agree, but my original comment was that it was a dirt bag play. I obviously need to walk that back if Johnson didn't mean to hit the guy.
