ITS A HOCKEY NIGHT IN PITTSBURGH!!!

[Black Panther]

Maybe for some it is...But I've been a Pens fan for 23+ years...It's the only NHL team I've ever rooted for and that will never change if it's up to me...

I figured somebody would jump on the bandwagon sooner or later.

Funny....coming from the ultimate bandwagon fan base!

Pens are the only NHL team I have rooted for over the years too.

Its a win and I'll take it but right now I don't think we will be growing any beards deep into the post season. Really concerned about how we are playing.

This is a series the Pens should dominate. Blue Jackets just don't have the talent on their bench to match ours. They have very little playoff experience while we have tons of it.

To win the Cup you need a hot goalie. Right now, Fleury is not hot and appears to be wrestling with the same issues he did this time last year. I hope he gets his mojo back.

Pens need to get some killer instinct in them as they gave the Blue Jackets a 2-1 lead after 1 and a 3-1 lead less than 1 minute into the 2nd. We were THE game last night, national tv and we let the Blue Jackets come in and kick sand in our faces. If this game was against any other team in the Eastern Conference, I have my doubts that we come back and get the win.

I know Malkin is back, so is Martin and Latang but this series should go to the Pens 4-1 at the worst. Really, we should sweep the Blue Jackets and does so in convincing fashion.

Game 2 isn't until Saturday night and it is a national tv game. Time to start making a statement.

LETS GO PENS!!!

I'll be watching the Flyers vs Rangers tonight.

This should be a very good series to watch. First meeting for these 2 teams in the playoffs since 1997 and they don't like each other. Period.

Put your feet up on the coffee table and relax. Crack open the Iron City and lets watch some old fashioned hockey.

I did that but watched the buccos instead...And intead of an Iron I had me a Pepsi..My favorite drink by the way...

Very disturbing game 2...Don't know really who's at fault...Maybe putting it in cruise control too early.But you have to remember it's a marathon and not a sprint...Got to put it behind us and move on to Monday..

CBJ finally gets over the hump. We have the makings of a good series brewing. Going to be interesting to see how both teams respond in Nationwide Monday.

If we don't get it together, we'll be one round and done this year.

The Blue Jackets have done a good job of shutting our offense down in the neutral zone before it can get started and they have out hit us ever game. Plus, we are standing around on defense and too many times we are looking away from the puck and leaving Fleury out to dry.

Amazing how we were able to score 3 goals in just over 2 minutes in the 3rd period.

This series just may go 7 games and I am worried.

Pens lead 2-1 with game 4 Wednesday night in Columbus.

Crosby hasn't scored in the last 7 playoff games and Malkin is pointless in the last 6.

LETS GO PENS!!!

Way to go CBJ! GO JACKETS!!!

[dazed&confused]

Great win for the poorly named franchise in Columbus. Keep it up! But the Bear is lurking!

Unreal. I just can't believe how poorly we are playing on defense.

You can't blame Fleury on any of the goals except for the one @ 22 seconds left in the 3rd of game 4 that tied it. He miss handled the puck, which he shouldn't have touched, that allowed the Blue Jackets back in the game.

Defense needs to step up and help Fleury out.

Crosby and Malkin have gone AWOL and need to show some leadership.

Columbus is doing a great job of out hitting the Pens and shutting down our offense in the neutral zone.

No lead is safe in this series, for either team.

If the Pens lose the series, and they could very easily, look for coach Byslma to be canned. Something has to change and it is easier to change 1 man than to turnover a team.

Hoping for the best. Going to be out of town for a week.

LETS GO PENS!!!

[Black Panther]

Agree on all points....No sooner that I got the words "get back in the net!" to Fleury the puck was in the net....And I shut the tv off as soon as the game winner hit the back of the net....At least you can watch the Pens telecast...I cant even get the national feed due to quote un quote "home team restrictions". So I have to deal with the fsn ohio band of misfits...

What exactly are they named for?? Originally I heard they were named for Blue Jacket the Indian Chief.Now they are playing on this civil war thing?? Oh well...

Looks like Boston gets to hook up yet again with their old friends the Canadiens!

[The Oaf]

CBJ's on the ropes now. Proud of the effort but another blown lead. Look for the Pens to finish them off in game 6

PENS 4 cols.3 in game 6.The PENS move on to round two! "Make Me A Milkshake Malkin!"

Pens(and their fans) breath a huge sigh of relief, great series from a fan stand point. Nice effort CBJ!!
