This was terrible.

I understand the penguins were getting just as many shots on goals as the red wings were.

This is no news, but I feel just so terrible. I've got a sore spot by my heart and my throat is all lumpy. My muscles feel like jelly. But I am NOT crying. Bandwagoner pens fans have probably already given up. I haven't, but I AM very down on this loss. I know the pens are down by 2 games, but it is against the tough, nasty, dirty-playing, rotten Red Wings.

Man! NOTHING changed in the scoring department except the order in which they were scored.

I thought the penguins were gonna get this one after being first on the board and taking the lead 1-0 (the first time they've lead in the series)

I was smiling and happy that the penguins had the lead 1-0 after the 1st period. Then things only went terrible and downhill, boom red wings tiew, boom. GOOOOODBYE PENGUINS LEAD, TIME TO PLAY THE CATCH-UP GAME. 2-1 Red Wings. MANY MANY CLOSE CALL penguin shots, but the Red Wing defense was faar too much to take on the poor, young, hard-working team.

In the third, more salt was added to the penguins wounds, the red wings get another one and make it 3-1. 2 VERY CLOSE ONES by the penguins, one goal was under review, the ref, silently indicates with his hands *PENGUIN GOAL IS NO GOOD* "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" goes the crowd. The Red wings got too lucky. (the refs want to be so damn hard on the penguins.

Then in the final minute, another close call goal by the penguins, it went in the net, but too late! The refs whistled to stop play!

Penguins lose... the goal horn sounds, indicating the wings win the game. The pens head back to the locker room, and now hit the airport to fly back to pittsburgh down 2 games to 0!!!!!! AGAIN! LIKE LAST YEAR! (ONE MORE BLOW AND THEY'RE IN A MUST-WIN SITUATION, I don't see the pens standing a chance winning 4 games in a row. So game 3 is the most important game of all for the penguins.

It's home in Pittsburgh. Home ice for the penguins. :|
This is very important. They MUST win this next game or I think they have been blown up, humiliated by another year of playoff work wasted to only get blown out by the Red Wings. This is terrible.

What do you think is going to happen in game 3? Will the penguins find good luck heading their way in heading to the mellon arena?

God, I felt like punching someone hard when that clock hit 0.00 when the penguins unleashed their s**tload of stress on the wings. THAT FIGHT WAS GREAT!!

More Wings fans acting like "just hand 'em the cup", they played that 80's hair rock band song "whooooaaa oaaa.........we're halfway there....whoooaaa oaaaaaaaa, we're living on a prayer"

The penguins have got a serious load of work to do. I am taking this loss, and it feels very sour and terrible. We have the lead 1-0 and go on to lose it 3-1. They came close, plenty of shots on goal, but none of them even went in. >X( !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is your prediction for game 3? Will the penguins win it, or have the red wings humiliated the penguins, a hard-working young team just so damn hungry for a stanley cup, but choking it and blowing it for back to back years?
 
i'm not much of a hockey fan, but i really hate it when people talk about momentum with how a sports team is doing, its so annoying!...but i want the penguins to win, and i think they will win at least 2 games
 
"I know the pens are down by 2 games, but it is against the tough, nasty, dirty-playing, rotten Red Wings."

You mean dirty like spearing Osgood after the whistle, or dirty like going after Zetterberg with stick in hand?

The Penguins are a likable team. I've never had anything against them. But all their power is contained at the top. This regular season, only two Penguins had over 50 points. Guess which ones?

The Wings, however, had 8 players with 50 points or more. They just have a deeper roster, and different guys step up all the time. That's near impossible to beat. Our major contributors this finals are Franzen, Filppula and Abdelkader. Most hockey fans have hardly heard of those guys.
 
its a sweep

pens have nothing./.....no really
i predict a tough battle with the wings yet again finding a way to win.
 
Shall I post links to your REFS SUCK, WINGS are Favored, questions from last night?

You are still whining, without trying to whine! BUT, you are still whining!
 
pliny the elder ...... osgood was trying to draw a call. neither team is playing dirty right now, hopefully the pens can win the next two because if they split at the igloo the pens are toast. my prediction is 3-2 pens in the next game
 
If you replaced this:

"...but choking it and blowing it for back to back years?"

With:

"losing to a superior team in back to back years?"

Then you'd have something.

Not to mention poking Osgood after a whistle and Malkin swinging his stick at Zetterberg.
 
First, off... I am also a Penguins' fan. And, I think that they can and will win Game 3. Most of the breaks went against them in G2, but I thought they played better than in the opener.

However, please quit your crying about the officials. You sound like a Rangers or Caps' fan. If you are a true Penguins' fan, you realize that sometimes the breaks just don't go your way. Plus, the Red Wings have been the best franchise in hockey the last 10 years.

When Gretzky finally won his first cup, the Oilers won 5 in a row. Lemieux won 2 once he finally won. It's up to Crosby and Malkin to get their first. Then maybe we'll see more than just one in the Burgh.
