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

Ummm, I don't think he looks that rusty. Great game so far but Pens allowing way to many shots.

Well, I was expecting rust lol. Hell *HE* was expecting rust in the pre-game interview. Maybe he showered in CLR ;)

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

Go Islanders.

I'm just shocked that the Penguins haven't gotten every call their way like a typical Pens/refs vs the opposition.

Ugh this was an ugly loss. They were being handled by the Isles basically the whole game and Fluery was equally bad. Now the Isles have some confidence going home after tonight's game.

The Pens better be ready the next game.

Niskanen was not penalized for that flying elbow before he had his face caved-in, so they did have a few go their way. Matt Cooke also slashed Hamonic when Hamonic dropped the gloves, Pierre McGuire conveniently forgot to mention that.

Full marks to the Isles for digging deep and playing with them for the last 2 periods

hehehe Flower scored the gwg on himself using his own butt. That's not going on his personal highlight reel.

Cooke is one of the biggest wusses in the league. Sure he plays tough but he'll run for his life if someone who has grit stands up to him. Now that the Isles got one game, just watch to make sure these refs never appear in a Penguins game again this season. They didn't give Queen Cindy everything he wanted.

MAF with anither own goal in the playoffs. Perfect

Actually that hit was as clean as can be.

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