Sorry, man...I flagged this on accident.

I'm probably one of the few out there who likes the idea of having to get out of your own division in the playoffs. The wildcard format kind of screws with that as you can have some other-division party crasher creating havoc.

Okposo probably got yelled at when he got to the bench for still being on his feet. Lack of commitment!

They really should rethink the positioning of the buttons on this site

Gotta give this crowd a ton of credit, I’ve got my tv on low because of my kids and they’ve been LOUD. Good for Columbus, this is crazy.

Land of Confusion.

It's time for 80's music and the Isles are playing like it's the 80's.

Islanders play the winner of caps or Carolina. So dumb but the way it is. If Carolina wins which I doubt the islanders would have gone ice

This. (frank) the Pens. Glad they didn’t get a chance to win the lottery or a round in the playoffs.

Pens can play that way we’re just outplaying them in that dept imo. Tonight we gave them zero room and time it was less of a physical game. They couldn’t do anything. Totally impressive how they shut down that team. Pens are an elite team with players that have been there and back more than any other roster in the league. We all know some will say they’re crap and past their prime now that we took it to them but we’ve been listening to that horse shat all season. We’re not done yet need another game. If any team can battle back from a 3-0 it’s this one.

Nah pens abandoned their philosophy after the 2nd cup. No idea why but we started going away from the speed we used to play with and got players like Johnson and gudbranson instead. Mattaa becoming garbage didn't help either.

To be honest I don't even think its a speed thing when you have a team with Crosby, Malkin, Kessel, and Letang. Is it a coincidence that the year after they gave up the flower, the caps FINALLY beat them? From the last three games in this series the Pens goaltending has been sub par. The netminder is the most important position in this game...….without it you wont have success.

It’s amazing what coaching does for a team. The isles are so well coached that any deficiency in their roster is easily managed. It could easily be argued that the pens have more on-ice talent, but the isles have been the better team all series so far. Too bad it took 11 years to get s good coach in here

Cappy and Snow just needed more time. haha Its AMAZING what Trotz has been able to do with this group. I cant see how anyone can take the Jack Adams from him

Nelson and Eberle are (frank)ing machines. Nelson’s game has evolved this entire season but the last month leading into the playoffs and now in them he has been awesome. Defensively he has been incredible. Eberle got hot at the right time. Not signing him is not that easy of an answer anymore...

Nelsons goal yesterday on the 2 on 1 is money in the bank. Coming down the right side as a lefty and shooting low blocker is gold for him.

Ebs backhand goal in game 2 was retarded.....not many can do that. Silkiest mitts on the team.....

Fleury won the first two series I believe in the second of the back to backs it was almost a split in games
