Been great man, just busy but I guess not busy enough to have an excuse not to venture in here more often. I'll tell you one thing, this place is a ghost town compared to how it used to be:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 WOW !! What a game ... Tukka was incredible, it just wasn't enough from the Pens Bruins win in double overtime to take a 3-0 lead in the series .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 The TRUE HEART of a hockey player ,,,, Campbell played his entire shift on the PK with a broken leg ..... Too bad we will loose his face off abilities and play for the rest of the playoffs ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Bruins win 1-0 and sweep the Pens !!!! unreal I would have never bet on that in a million years.....Boston got in their heads early on and never looked back.....right now its looking like a boston vs Hawks cup.....that should be some good hockey to watch.

Strut10 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Unbelievable.......................... Crosby a -3 (+26 regular season), Malkin a -2 (+5 regular season) and Neal a -3 (+5 regular season) combine for 125 points and 45 goals in a shortened regular season then combine for a goose egg in this series !! What the .............. ??????????????????????????? It's certainly good for Boston and Boston fans that Pittsburgh went comatose and never made them earn the conference title. But I'm guessing Dan Bylsma is not going to be getting too much sleep any time soon. I think he's history. GM Ray Shero might not be too far behind.

We'll take it .. lol How's that saying go ,, It's better to be lucky than good ,, sometimes ... OH and I forgot to mention Tukka called and said he was sorry, but it's just the way things are ..

Strut10 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Sure the B's fans will take it !! That's the way it goes and it sucks to be a Pens fan right now. To sit and watch a team with more talent than ANY other DOMINATE all regular season long then go to the playoffs and CHOKE against bottom-feeders and teams they absolutely destroyed during the regular season ..................... FOUR YEARS IN A ROW ?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm thinking the 2013-2014 Pens are not going to look ANYTHING like the 2012-2013 Penguins as far as roster and coaching goes. Unless Mario is only in it to play to sell out crowds and make money (which I DO NOT think is the case)........................ there's gonna be some heads roll at the top and some stars on the auction block.

VermontHunter Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Now Don that was harsh to call any team that made the playoff a bottom feeding team... If you go back and look as to where the Bruins finished in the East ,, they were right there with the Pens, so to call them bottom feeders is quite undo to them and any other team that made the playoffs wouldn't you agree ?? In my opinion any team can be beat at any given time, that's why they play the games ,, and the Pens just didn't live up their or anyone else's expectations, they had the talent and didn't use it,,, the Bruins had the drive and used it to their total advantage and should be given their just dues for that effort. If you go back and read my predictions before the playoffs, even I stated that the Pens were winning the cup ,,, but they beat themselves out of that honor and were almost beat by the Islanders and then were beat by a good team in the Bruins that had more determination and drive ... So to call playoff teams that placed behind the Pens in the standings bottom feeders is just harsh in my opinion. Especially when the Bruins could have beat the Pens in any of those regular season games they played, in NO way were those games blow outs they were all close games that either of those teams could have won ,, it just so happened it was the Pens. On to the CUP ROUNDS and good luck to both teams ,,, especially my Bruins, this should be some great hockey ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 ........the Pens just didn't live up their or anyone else's expectations, they had the talent and didn't use it,,, the Bruins had the drive and used it to their total advantage and should be given their just dues for that effort. You are absolutely right. "They beat themselves"............................ again. No other way to put it. In a BIG way I blame Bylsma. His abject refusal to change a system that was not working is unexcusable. The Pens' entry into Boston's zone was weak and needed tweeking. Status quo. He should have been changing the structure of the Pens' powerplay by the 2nd period of Game 1. But, no. Same thing throughout the series and 0 for 15 to show for it. What do they call that when you do the same thing over and over expecting a different result ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 What do they call that when you do the same thing over and over expecting a different result ?? I call it catastrophic failure ,,, but that's just me. And it's also my opinion that on paper the Pens have the BEST Team in the NHL ,, also with that being said, they remind me of the past Flyers team when the Legion of Doom existed, just too much big name talent that wouldn't produce when expected and surely wouldn't take the blame for their short comings ,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250savage Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 I haven't been able to watch the series because of work (dumb 2nd shift) but judging from the highlights it seemed like the B's just outworked the Pens. I think I saw somebody on facebook said "hard works beats talent any day" and I'm pretty sure that's what happened. I kind of skimmed the previous posts but Don's right, how the heck can that line-up have put up goose eggs the entire series? Super bummed but what can ya do? Will definitely be curious to see what happens during the off season. Time will tell, but I'll still be a fan. But the B's and the Blackhawks in the Cup final. SHOULD ​be a good series!

MUDRUNNER Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Heck of a battle last night! I fell asleep after the first overtime, so mished the finish. For a while it looked like Boston was going to slip by with the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Yet, another great game last night, can you say overtime time again .. The Bruins finally had some sustained attack in the offensive zone and pulled out a close win .. This series is happening as predicted, close and hard fought. Now it's off to Boston for game 3 ...
