MDSF: (1) Pittsburgh Penguins vs (4) Columbus Blue Jackets

[gmen81]

Big win for the Pens. It would have been tough trying to force a game 7 if they were down 3-2 heading back to CBJ.

[Tearloch7]

pay attention to the game and realize when a team isn't coming back out shot out worked out played CBJ was lucky to even get a goal tonight was barely dangerous

Yes .. they had best score early at home and find a second wind or this series is over .. they looked bagged and listless at the end.

[chrisbanks]

Yeah I know he was injured when he signed and didn't even start the season for so long, came back for a few games and was done again

i think he had an off season shoulder surgery or something... and when he came back a few games before the playoffs he had an abdominal tare that needed surgery... he can play in the second round if they make it.

[Sedins 55]

Pretty surprised at the score. I thought it would be 4-3 Columbus.

[Nas19]

This series isnt about drafting Ehlers vs drafting Ritchie.

Columbus has 2nd rounders and all kinds of plumbers doing it for them . No need to waste a 6th overall to get those guys. Columbus skill guys were drafted 2nd (Murray) 3rd (Johnson ) and 4th (Johansen)

Penguins are blowing them away, but their goalie is a Vezina winner and he is showing why.

I still have no idea how Pittsburg takes Fleury over Eric Staal.

Or Jordan Staal over Jonathan Toews.

I mean they won a Cup with Staal but damn can you imagine Toews being on the Penguins instead? They would have won 4 Cups by now.

[Time Lord]

What if Pittsburgh had drafted Eric Staal over Fleury and Toews over Jordan?

Crosby

Malkin

E. Staal

Toews

Better center depth than Team Canada. 6 straight cups starting from 2008.

Toews

If they had drafted Eric Staal he would've joined the team right away. His added goals would've pushed them higher up in the standings and they would not have gotten Malkin.

Pens in 7. No thanks to Fleury.

Boy is this looking possible.

Good on the BJs for putting up a fight. I like their core.

[Madness]

2-0 Pens already.

[Kakanucks]

not sure why cbj keeps dumping the puck in right at the pens blue line, they keep losing the puck battle on the boards, and it turns the other way right away.....

any momentum they have getting out of the zone is killed when they dump it in....

[Pears]

New camera angle?

[73 Percent]

penguins star power is overwhelming cbj right now. sab to say but I think stock was right before the game.

[Bure to Mogilny]

Fleury made a couple good saves there but if cbj are to win fleury is the key. They need to try some odd ones on fleury and get him off track. Do that and he will unravel. Its the only way

[THERETOOL]

i think that the blue jacket fans should say their goodbyes ... hope Im wrong

[hockeyville88]

As much as I want the Pens to win, a shellacking at home is a tough way to nurture a new fanbase for CBJ

[Jaimito]

should be ITB, unless fleury craps the bed again

[poetica]

The Pens came to get this done tonight!

[Down by the River]

Just tuned in. Are Crosby and Malkin playing on the same line, or did I just catch them between shifts?

[Amish Rake Fighter]

Come on Fleury, if anyone can blow it, you can.

Open the floodgates I say!
