Official Discussion Thread - Round 1 - Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Columbus Blue Jackets

If Bobs stands on his head they might win one game. Two at the shocking outside. But Bobs will have to stop about 65 shots per game to win anything.

Count on the Pens having the standard favourite NHL 6 minors per game called in their favour. You don't want Gary taking candy away from one of his two chosen teams.

Jackets open this one up!

Go Jackets! Big fan here...really excited for this series, even though I know they don't have much of a chance. Great start, though. Hoping they can win at least one for their first ever playoff win.

The Jackets' nerves are showing, but they definitely came to play tonight!

[MattDMC]

Pittsburgh showing once again that its PP is absolutely deadly!

Fleury looking rather like a SIEVE.

Bob isn't looking much better.

True but playing against the Pens can make a lot of goalies look like a sieve.

Fluery does it annually in the post season.

What a great first two periods. Think teams are finally starting to settle in; at least the goalies are.

From the looks of things, Jackets kept it a lot closer than anyone here expected. Bob played like crap, and the Jackets' nerves were definitely showing. I think they definitely have it in them to make it a series.
