B's-Caps tied up. Amazing series so far, 2 games, 2 OTs. I like the B's chances as Anderson can be a little shaky in goal. DeBrusk, Coyle and Krejci are finding their games. NGL, loved seeing Wilson called for embellishment.

My sentiments exactly. Loathe the Caps. It's odd for me to root for the Bruins because I'm sure I'll be back to hating them in the next round...IF my Pens are lucky enough to get there.
Pens played a good solid 60 minutes and squeaked away with a 2-1 win.
Jarry looked better but I had to laugh when NBCSN showed every goal by the Islanders in this series was high glove side. That weakness was what got Matt Murray sent out of town, but his replacement isn't much different in that regard.
Mike Matheson had two of the worst periods of his career. Giveaways, bad passes, hanging on to the puck too long in his own end, indecisiveness...he looked terrible. Thankfully he made up for that with a very strong 3rd period, playing like an All-Star for the last 20 minutes.
On the other hand, Cody Ceci continues to impress us Pens fans. Many of us thought he was a cheaper version of Jack Johnson but Ceci has been worth every penny and then some of his $1.25M salary this year. Nothing stellar, but just solid as can be with some offense thrown in when needed. Hope he re-signs with Pittsburgh.

Caps are on their third-string goalie against the Bruins tonight. Interesting. We'll see if the Bs can capitalize.
I love Nazi, but his inability to control his emotions have been detrimental to his teams. I suspect the league with not hold back on discipline.

I was playing TV roulette last night-lotta games, hockey and baseball. What'd he do now?
Hmm. Lemme think...A-HOLE! There should be a special consideration for him-and Caps # 43: Go home! Do not pass GO, do not collect a paycheck.
That is the main reason the Leafs got rid of him...he is a great player, gritty and tough. But him being suspended for 8 games in the playoffs over 2 years with the Leafs contributed to them losing both series...
I'm wondering when the "Player Safety Committee"(it is to laugh)is/are gonna do something about these clowns that are hurting the game, let alone other players.
Especially when the Player Safety Committee is manned by former players. You'd think they'd be more in tune with what it's actually like to receive one of these dirty hits and the potential for serious injury.
Kadri, huh?
Yeah, the playoffs bring the dirty out of otherwise skilled players. Marchand has been regressing lately, too.

Well, George Parros is in charge of Players Safety Committee....fox in the hen house? Career stats...18 goals, 1092 PIM...
And before him wasn't it Colin Campbell? I remember him as a Penguin in the mid-70s. Not a goon but a tough little defenseman who never backed down from a fight.
Maybe we need a skilled player who never played physical in that office. Joe Juneau?
Dirty Habs.
I think Perry might not have done this on purpose. But as a Bruins and Kings fan?
Dirty Habs.
