Magnus Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I wouldn't say (based on the fact that their series is 2-2) that the Pens are performing "poorly". Perhaps poorer than everyone who thought their first-round series had the potential to be a sweep. Clearly the Isles raised their game to compensate.

JQK Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 The Pittsburgh Penguins, #1 seed in the Eastern Conference, are switching goaltenders in the middle of their first round series with the New York islanders. Tomas Vokoun will start tomorrow night, relieving Marc-Andre Fleury of his duties....or, in other terms, "the Isles got 'em shook" Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninersdd Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I read somewhere that Fluery's save % in the playoffs is the same as Steve Mason's regular season %. He surrendered two of the worst goals I've ever seen, last nights one which iced the game and that one in Game 3 against the Flyers last year where his own glove put it into the net.

Perhaps poorer than everyone who thought their first-round series had the potential to be a sweep. Clearly the Isles raised their game to compensate.No, the Pens are playing "poorly" too. With the exception to Game One, they have been making all of the same careless and undisciplined mistakes as last year. It's barely 2-2. Give it to the Isles to be battling like they have been, but that should have been expected from the beginning. A lot of that drive comes from now knowing they can beat the Penguins. The seedings don't exist as far as anyone on the Island is concerned, while the Penguins are playing the first 2/3rds of every game like being #1 means they can just coast through this series. Everyone including the Penguins knows they can play way better than this, they just won't.Maybe when they see Bylsma isn't going to wait around for Fleury (other than him the Islanders don't have anyone "shook", this is why Vokoun was brought in), the rest of the team will get their heads back in the right place, play the game, and stop beating themselves.Let's not forget this is the same Vokoun and Penguins team that pitched a 140+ minute shutout streak earlier this year.

cmm Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I don't know how good Vokoun looked overall, but he owned the Islanders this year. Three starts, three wins, three goals allowed, one shutout. That was before the Islanders started playing their best hockey in years, but I'll miss Fleury anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when that's (probably) not the worst goal given up on the night, it's really bad. BEAR DOWN ARIZONA!2013/14 Tanks Picks Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOldRoman Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 If only we could have gotten a Canucks-Coyotes playoff series these past few years. It would have been the dive-iest, cheap shot-iest, whiniest and most floppish series of all time. The teams would try to one-up each other, ultimately resulting in Mike Smith faking a seizure, followed by Alain Vigneault clutching his chest and yelling "I'm comin', Elizabeth!" a la Fred Sanford.

The_Admiral Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Well, you know, Jay Cutler was more damaging than that.His pussiness helped cause a chain reaction that led the Bears front office into thinking Caleb Hanie was a legitimate backup QB, and thus helped derail the 2011 Bears. So Cutler directly screwed the Bears chances in consecutive seasons.(and how do I know Cutler is a ? Philip Rivers once played on a torn ACL. So, of course, Jay should've been able to play through whatever feeble knee injury he had.)I kinda hate that I have to acknowledge this, but since I know this will be misinterpreted by some, I must point out the above is all sarcasm.not sure if seriousEDIT: unseriousness ascertained by tilting head, n/m ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 The Leafs lead 2-0 after one. Toronto CAN beat this Bruins team. If they can hang on and win this game it'll do wonders for their psyche moving forward. Boston's still the better team, but hey. This is the GDNHL.
