lol...I forgot, I'm not allowed to root against a city that I hate more than any in America. Don't be mad at me that your team is choking.

nope not allowed...

well that game sucked!!
pens need to tighten up on defence and just keep away from that gargabe style of hockey that happened today.
fleury is great but not all his fault, his D men let him down also

game 4 wed should be better for the pens

I agree. But Schenn won't fight! He'll charge a player that's engaged with another, but he won't fight to back it up. Even if Asham would of engaged him, Schenn would have turtled!

He's fought a handful of times this year... Which is a handful of times more then Crybaby and the Nuclear fallout looking boy Malkin... Thats fine.. My team is up 3-0 in the series, and the Pens continue to dress that bum Asham and arguably the worst D-man in the league Engelland... Maybe next game they'll call up and dress Macyntire lol... If ya can't beat em' BEAT em' right?! lol They should place tee time reservations now, its going to be a long offseason. In other news its amazing how the refs really never had a handle on the game.

Lost in all of this:

Matt Cooke - 3 games, 16:40 ATOI, 0 PIM

Good for him.

Cooke has been no Saint, just showing his experience in the ability to hide his cheap shots. Should have been called for at least two incidents today.

In other news???? That was the main idea of my point!!! The refs couldn't get a handle on things- that's why the players need to police it.

asham is a tool and whats with the hair pulling,shanny is gonna go nuts tonite trying to figure out all this bs!

"If ya can't beat em' BEAT em' right?! lol"

Honestly, yes. That is what every other team in the league does as well. Well, maybe not Detroit. If you don't think your team would do the same thing, you either never watch games or have blinders on.

What Asham did was crap. Not the cross-checking, mind you, just the punch at the end. Schenn launched himself into an engaged player. He deserved to get hit, just not like that. Wasn't Schenn that also had the cross-check to the back in the regular season?
