Kills me the Isles are out. They are in the top three best teams this playoff season. Shame they had to face the Pens 1st round.
Nice video here of the totally classless Boston fans.
That, and Tony Amonte really put on the beef.

Classless? Is the purpose of nearly every post on the interwebby to discredit others? I listen to Felger and Mazz every weekday on the commute home and I understand Felger's on-air persona. I watched that live and I thought it was hilarious. No doubt Felger and Amonte got a kick out of it. No harm, no foul. That's how Boston fans are. Nuts. I've lived through it for 49 years. No story here folks...
Sorry, yes. Don't know why I typed Niedermeyer. I always get these two names mixed up, for some reason.
The Neal trade was a while ago and yes, lopsided in the Pens' favor for sure. Don't know what he was thinking.
Haha, so do I. I double checked before I posted as I started wondering if maybe it was Niedermayer.

As long as no glass was harmed in the making of that video, I'd say we are ahead of the Vancouver fans in 2011.
B's in 7 was my prediction in round 1 and I'll go with it again in round 2.
What is the over/under for total goals scored in this series?
40 goals were scored in TOR-BOS or 5.7 per game - I'm thinking 3 per game in NYR-BOS.
With the benefit of 1 game in the books - PIT in 5 and SJ in 7.
CHI in 7.
Why all the Penquin haters here? The Pens and Blackhawks are clearly the best two teams
and they will likely be the in the finals

Classless? I can't tell if you were joking or not, but I didn't find anything wrong with that video. If you were being serious, I'd have to say you are really stretching
Exactly, very exciting. And Tastybasslines, how is that totally classless? Over the top, excessive, alcohol-indused for sure but not classless.
I do agree that Amonte has ballooned up nicely.
OK, OK, maybe I overdid it just a little...they are having "controlled fun"
Still though, and I'm not saying this is good or bad, but you wouldn't see Kings fans doing that. Maybe that's because we just don't take our hockey as seriously and are more laid back?

I missed the Pens game Tuesday night. From what I'm reading online, it sounded ugly. 50+ PIM and some shaky goaltending from Voukon.

I can't even imagine the emotion I'd have after seeing my team pull off what Boston did. I would hope Pens fans would have the exact same reaction
Shaky? Naw. Maybe in the first 10 minutes or so. After that he looked great. He's got the highest save % in the playoffs so far and he's looking good. Not sure what you're trying to read into the PIM for. A bunch of players got game misconducts with 40 seconds left, just like what happens in a lot of playoff games where one team is ahead by a few goals and players get frustrated.
The Pens offense is just too much for the Sens to handle. I have no doubt that the Sens will make some adjustments, and am curious to see what happens in Game 2.
Thanks for the info. I haven't got to any real breakdowns of the game, just looking over stats and recaps of the action. The PIM had me wondering if there would be more retaliation from the incident earlier this season. I would hope Ottawa is ready to move on from that and focus on trying to win the games.

Ah yeah, then stats would make you think there were a lot of penalties. A very large chunk was just the officials getting the instigators off the ice for the final minute of the game.
There wasn't anything extremely dirty, just players being very physical. I think the Penguins took a hard look at how the Bruins played in Game 7 and decided it was how they wanted to come out in Game 1. Malkin established early he wasn't going to get punked around by Niel or Conacher, and Orpik and Murray let everyone know they were in charge early in the game.
It didn't seem like there was really any more fallout from the Cooke/Karlsson thing. Both teams were just trying to play hockey. Even if the Sens had intentions of having more retaliation (which I don't think MacLean would have allowed), the Pens absolutely bombarded the Sens in the first few minutes of the game. I think they were so shell shocked that they realized getting back to their game plan ASAP was the most important thing to do. They actually played pretty well in the second period.

There might be something to the laid back theory. I'd add that you might not have as much temptation to act silly as we do in Boston. Not that we have that much resistance to temptation -
The Comcast studio is directly across the street from the Garden. Bruins and Celtic fans find the Comcast studio hard to resist even on ordinary wins let alone Game 7 epic comebacks. All of those folks were standing on a public sidewalk - where it says Ace Ticket - it is the second thing you see as you walk out. The first thing is the statue of Bobby Orr.
That said, it was a little too close to the edge of control for my taste - my inner dad is thinking "its all fun and games until someone gets hurt." I hope Comcast has better contingency plans in the future than Felger (acerbic afternoon sports radio guy) turning around and asking them to tone down (although that worked better than I would have thought).
