Oh and both Sid and Kessel scored tonight. Good to see Sid start to score. I thought Sids line played decent, Kessel's line was great, and the fourth line with Cullen played well too. Malkin's line was MIA most of the night. I'm looking for Fluery and Bishop to be in the nets on Friday.

One more thing. I hope the Pens have their defibrillator fully charged, because it looked like Kessel was going to need it a couple times last night. I'll give him credit, he was hustling but when he got to the bench it looked like he was about to have a heart attack. Maybe in the off season he'll work himself into a little better shape.

The HBK (Haiglin, Bonino, Kessel) line is inviting Shawn Michaels to game 5. He is the original Heart Break Kid. ![]() Attachments:

Apparently this is what happens when you're paroled from To***to. Kessel has 7 goals, 9 assists and he's a plus 6. He is starting to become the star of the playoffs for Pittsburgh. The other teams have focused on stopping Sid's line and Malkin's line so they don't have the depth to stop Kessel's line too. The Kessel along with Hagelin and Bonino are making the most of it. |

0-0 after one but immensely entertaining. I think the whole series has been very entertaining. Good, wide open, end to end action. Good goaltending too. I'm surprised the Pens went down to Tampa and won. That's why I never bet for or against a Pittsburgh team. They can beat the best and lose to the worst. Well let's see if they can do it again. Go Phil. |

LOL - 1-0 Tampa as Cally scores 27 seconds into the game. That set the tone and Tampa never looked back. Pens totally out of their game now and playing stupid. I'm looking for Fluery to come in for the third even though none of those goals were Murray's fault. Either way, my prediction for Tampa in 6 is still looking good. |

Still lost, but knocked some of the swagger out of the Bolts in the third. Came real close to OT a couple times.
You enjoying this Canuck?

I had to record the 3rd period and TGO says it over at the end of two why record it? I said you never know and the 3rd period was great hockey to watch. |

You get to watch your boy Phil rifle a shot just inside the far post. It was an awesome goal. My wife was laughing at me the last minute and a half of the game. I was gasping, grunting and yelling "You bums!" at the TV. |

Come on 5 pm EDT. Tampa won but Pitt owned the third. Both should feel pretty good going into tonight. And somebody wake up Malkin an hour or two earlier today.

Hated seeing that happen to Daley. He's a stand up guy and was a fan favorite here. Add to it the fact he was having a nice playoff run after Shitcago decided he couldn't play there and I was really hoping he would get into a Finals. |

I concur and I don't even hold it against him that he was born in To***to. |

2-0 Pens with a Hornqvist goal. And then Pittsburgh just couldn't help being Pittsburgh. Fluery made some good saves, but letting that wrap around go in was unforgivable. About halfway through the second period Pittsburgh had me believing that they were going to the finals. Oh well, one more game and the season is over for me. |

I wouldn't have started Fleury in Game 5. I wouldn't start him in Game 6. Put the kid back out there and give the game to him. He's earned it.

Murray was criticized for letting this goal go in. A closer look says it wasn't his fault.
