Official Series Discussion Thread: Pittsburgh Penguins vs. New York Islanders

They missed the hit that Glass threw on MacDonald that should have been called as well.

I'm sure we can find plenty of calls that were missed in the game. The Pens need to come out at play better the next game or this will go 7.

Actually that hit was as clean as can be.

You're out of your mind. Watch the replay. He raises the elbow on the way by.

It didn't look bad to me actually but I also didn't see it from a good angle. That's like the Gryba hit yesterday that was clean as day which shouldn't have warranted anything but did.

MAF with anither own goal in the playoffs. Perfect

What really blows my mind about that goal (and the second one) is that those are plays off the boards/glass in his home rink. Usually a goalie knows his home rink well enough to know where all the little kinks are, and what areas of the perimeter produce harder bounces. He was way out of position on the second goal allowing for a quick tuck-in, and that fourth goal is inexcusable in the circumstances. Hopefully for his sake he can block out Game 2 and forge ahead; otherwise, that little seed of doubt could be planted.

The Okposo man-shaming of Niskanen worked. Pens blow a 3-0 lead.

Go Islanders.

it was never 3-0 fyi

That goal reminded me of a bounce that Detroit would get as well as a bad break that would go in the Islanders net.

I must eat some crow, I truly thought the pens were gonna walk all over the isles last night. Congrats to the isles for proving me wrong lol

Its the playoffs, losses are expected, but I don't see the Pens losing to the islanders. Pens in 5.

Wow, that was a hell of a hockey game. First the Islanders jump in front, then the Pens jump back with 4 goals. Then the Isles manage to get 2 to send it to OT but the Pens win it with a goal from Kunitz on a beauty of a pass from Crosby. God I hope this series never ends if the rest of the games can be this entertaining.

I'm gonna have chest pains by the end of this series.
