Started last year as a result of their brief e-feud with the Kings' twitter account: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/puck-d...wAAAAAAAMxjAAA=

And caught on, hence a bunch of people using the twitter hashtag #Lumbus.

EDIT: And this is what the Penguins do. They're just better. Of course this attitude will completely end them in a series vs. the Bruins, as has been demonstrated, so hopefully they have that figured out by the time they dispose of Lumbus.

Nice shot by Stempniak.

Letang sucks. Worse than Karlsson defensively. Couldn't defend a routine 2 on 2 leading to the Atkinson goal.

Then gets walked around by Foligno on a spin o rama right after.

Hard to believe he got a $7 million extension. Generally Ray Shero is a pretty smart guy but caving to Letang's demands was a real mistake. You don't build your blueline around him.

We've seen that shot a couple times from the Whirling Dervish. Couldn't be more happy for him

Damn, this sucks. Not much chance Columbus wins this now.

Damn. I'm rooting for the Jackets, but really Fleury is the only reason they're even in this game. 13 shots on goal is terrible.

[DOOM]

4-3 Pittsburgh, Maata.

[RedCoffee]

I think Columbus needs a timeout

[AC]

Yikes, 3 quick goals for the Penguins.

[Hockey_Ninja]

Yikes. Bad luck for the Jackets there.

[Itse]

Eh, Pens getting the bounces too right now.

[mikephoen]

Fleury can still blow it.

so apparently in this series you can't be leading the game 3-1 ... every game has had that, and the team up 3-1 has lost (depending on result here) them

[19Yzerman19]

Shots are 40-16. This was basically a matter of time, no?

Pretty much. Bit of luck included though, Bobrovsky has been good, something line 3-2 Jackets or 3-3 would not be crazy at this point.

Bigger problem is, Jackets have 2 shots on goal this period. Tough to even it up that way.

[timbit]

Horrible call on Letang.

[Gaskal]

Good for Stempniak though.

[Itse]

Pretty blatant dive there. Understandable though, Jackets are desperate to get something going.
