EC Playoffs Round 1: Pittsburgh Penguins vs Columbus Blue Jackets(Penguins win 4-2).

[direwolf]

Man, I'm so freakin' sick of Pittsburgh. Nothing would make me happier than to see them choke in the first round. Hopefully Columbus can come back and win this game.

Pittsburgh will still lose the game and series.

Guessing that is a wish and not an opening for a wager proposal.

Jackets doing everything possible to lose this game now. Can't even gain the zone with the extra man. Brutal.

[Scoreface]

Meh. This series is far from over.

The silver lining is a Pens-Flyers matchup if those teams come out on top. That would be epic.

[puckluck2]

Jeez what terrible defense by Pittsburgh.

[Itse]

Hot damn, that was actually a pretty good attack on the last seconds.

[AC]

Dubinsky with an insane rush in the dying seconds, almost scores.

Bob Cole hardly notices and then fails to see that the game is over either. He's a legend, but he's just out of it nowadays.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Almost the goal of the year to tie. Too bad

[RyZ]

If the Pens ever got a goalie, they could be a dominating team. And all of this with Crosby and Malkin pretty much being passengers so far. If they wake up this series is over in 2 more games.

Doesnt matter...he wont pay up anyways.

Jackets really showed their inexperience in playoffs in this game. They had the game well in hand at 3-1, but choked pretty decisively. (Not to take anything away from the Pens. Well except from Fleury, who still sucks.)

It's getting beyond embarrassing. It's annoying for me 'cause I typically just have playoff games on in the background, and he's the worst broadcaster to rely on for how the pace of the game is going.

"...and he dumps it into the corner and goes off on a change, we're tied 1-1 right now"

could mean exactly what it says, or there could have been a glorious chance on a turnover, followed by a huge hit, but because it happened too quickly after the dump in, he makes literally no mention of it.

So bad, lol.

Every game, the loosing team has had a two oh lead as well, pretty crazy happenstance.

I don't know why, but I'm really liking CBJ. Maybe I just like the underdog.
