Eastern Conference Finals - Pittsburgh Penguins vs Ottawa Senators Discussion Thread

[SenatorCollector]

On another forum (maybe he's on SCF, too?) I know there is a massive Craig Anderson collector. I should find & PM you a link to his collection if I can. His PC has some super cards I tell ya. And I'm a big fan of Anderson, and the goalie position as a whole. The man has been very clutch this series.

I'm not saying Fleury isn't an elite calibre goaltender, but give his opponent on the other end some credit as well!
Loved Martin Biron's analysis after game 2. " Any time a game ends 1-0, and neither goalie gets a star, it's because of great defense" Then, he did what most experts can't or won't do...Used HIGHLIGHTS to prove, the majority of the shots directed at either goalie actually never reached the nets, because of deflections and blocks. So, was either of them a "stud" in game 2? Technically, no....
Didn't get to see any of Game 4, so I can't comment, but from the score, it sounds like both teams opened it up a bit

Thing I found entertaining, The Ottawa Senators on Twitter:

"The boring Ottawa Senators lead 4-0 in the first period"

How quickly that flipped around on them eh? That's happened a couple times these playoffs now where they've made mocking comments and had them end up blowing up in their faces in the near term

Yesterday's game was just BAD! Almost like the Sens got a smoking deal on a Hotel, but they had to be in Pittsburgh yesterday! They certainly didn't show up for the game!

Hoping that the Penguins can close this thing out tonight! Don't let these resilient Sens up off the mat!

Congrats to Ottawa for forcing a game 7!! That was a pretty good game last night. After the way they played in the first 2 periods Ottawa was lucky to win this game. If not for a 5 on 3 powerplay & a goal to get them going this game might have been different. Gotta luv game 7's!!

Totally correct @jameslacarte! If they hadn't tied it on that 5 on 3, they wouldn't have come out like they did to start the third! Hoffman's cannon was spectacular!

Interesting stat in a story I read on the CBC Sports app. Seems that Ottawa is 0-5 lifetime in game 7's! Even more interesting? Pittsburgh is 0-7 in game 7's, following a road loss in game 6! Looks like either way, someone is breaking a long drought after tonight!
