2016-2017 Pens----Still with 100% more Kessel

Halfway there. Long way to go though.
 
****, just realized I have to work a festival on Saturday night ... gonna have to make sure the phone is charged up so I can listen to the radio broadcast.

Weight guesser? ;)
 
Ok. So game 1, Preds were better and lost. Today, I would say the Preds were even through 2. Pretty competitive game through 2 periods. 3rd period, all Pens. If the Pens play their game, this series isn't close. What kills me is that the Pens play their game in spurts. So far it has been enough.

If the Pens earn a split in Nashville, this series isn't going past 6.
 
***-whooping. Didja see that stiff jab from Malkin? Lol...scrubby Subban got schooled tonight.
 
4-1 win.
What a switch in the 3rd. There ya go Pens!
- Preds totally lost it emotionally. Stay in their heads.
-Nashville will be a hostile environment. But...if we can survive Washington game 7. I have hopes in going up 3-0 in the series.
- focus on hockey and rest up boys
 
They started shooting and pecker started looking like the goalie he is.

Nope ... hobby became a side business. I make handcrafted soap, shaving soap etc. for the "hippy millenials" .. lol

Definitely. This guy isnt Holtby or Anderson. It's noticeable how easy it is to get pucks past him. Kinda reminds me of Lundqvist last year. Once the Pens broke him, he was never the same
 
Screw Nashville and their former Houston Oiler team along with the mindset of getting a split. I think we can ***** them to a 4 game sweep. The Music City Miracle II.
 
Jake throwing his hat in for the Conn Smythe? I think he's making a small case for it .. and if he keeps the timely game winning goals up ... who knows?
 
Keith Jones said Nashville will tie the series up. Interesting. Hope the Pens hear that. Take Game 3 and they will be choking on their catfish. Do it!!!

Ha! Today's hippies wouldn't know what to do without the comforts of home nearby.

It's funny. Until the Pens-Sens series this year, I never regarded Anderson as anything other than a journeyman type. Now we are saying Rinne isn't Anderson? Sorry. Rinne has just been owned so far. No one outside of Ottawa regards Anderson as anything more than a capable NHL goalie. Rinne is better than Anderson.

True ... I think "hippy" and I think Patchouli. They call themselves "Vegans" and "Earth Friendly" and want soap with fancy swirls and soaps with names like Cool Citrus Basil or Sweet Orange Chili Pepper. Now, ask me if that keeps me from accepting their $$$ on a Saturday afternoon. ;)

Except against the Pens. Certain players match up well against certain teams. For whatever reason, Anderson matched up better against the Pens than Pecker has so far. It is what it is and I'm not complaining. Two more to go!!

Holtby and Anderson have shown more so far. My opinion. Rinne has historically been bad against Pittsburgh. So perhpaps there is some type of mind **** going on.

Even then at that, too much firepower. When the Pens want, they can destroy teams.

The trap defense slowed the game down for Anderson. I admit, the guy could've pretty much stole last series. I respect the guy a ton.
I respect Rinne too. Off ice seems like a stand up guy. But the Pens played different beast in the East. Goaltending and physicality.

I want to compare Nashville to CBJ. Just more skating talent imo

It's everything Nashville did wrong. The Pens never get credit. Oh well. **** the media talking heads.
Rupp and Mears stand up for the guys though. So tip of the hat to them
 
Enjoy the win guys.
Gotta overcome the environment. Pens can do it
 
"Nashville is a tough place to win. Loudest fans in the NHL. Predators played better at full strength." M'kay.. Would love to shut those county music loving newbies up with a big W in music town.

I could have sworn that I saw a stat somewhere saying that Rinne has never beaten the Pens.

Anyone with help here?
 
Has any other rookie ever won 2 of Lord Stanley's cups?
