Pens Hockey 2021?

I'm excited for tonight's game. I really hope they respond and play a solid game. 50% capacity, that crowd should be rocking!
Sadly, I'm not excited for tonight's game. After Sunday, I am feeling pretty deflated. The Pens looked great until the Isles started consistent hitting. Then the **** show started. They have to be MUCH better in their own end, and they have to sustain some pressure in the Isles end. The PP needs to do better than the disaster it was in game one. They have a lot to correct. Here's hoping they get it done.

Come on buckaroo, what's the worst that can happen? They are playing golf next week? Actually, that's what will happen if they don't solidify their game tonight in all phases. Jarry needs to be a wall. If he crumbles, the Pens are done. I'm trying to be positive and hoping for the best. Sully is coaching for his job. They get outed in the first round again, he may be on the hotseat. I can't see Burke/Hextall backing that mess.
 
The Caps and Bruins beating the hell out of each other, or the Bolts and Panthers flying all over the place. You watch, the Isle's will get blown out just like the other year in round 2 if they beat the Pens.

No way can they come close to competing with any of them the way they played in game 1. Tonight better be a decisive 5-3 6-2 win or I am taking one foot off the band wagon. None of this 2-1 OT BS. Completely off the bandwagon with a loss....
I'm also hoping for a spanking tonight. They need to make a statement and get the series back on track. It's freightening to watch the other games. Watched Colorado last night. Damn, they are good.
 
The biggest problem I see is the physical game the Isles play. Players are allowed to take many more liberties without as much fear of taking a penalty. This allows the Islanders to dictate the game to the Pens. The Pens are unable or unwilling to respond in kind so you get what you got on Sunday. Tonight will say a lot about the Pens and this series.

You watch they will be beating on Sid tonight and nothing will get called.

I’m with you. Until the Pens find a response to physical play they’ll continue to fold

There's just no way around that. It has to change

It does. This series/playoff year will tell. The Pens do have speed and depth, but they do need a physical presence as well
 
The Penguins showed promise in the 2nd period last game. If they can respond/withstand some rough play, then I’ll be confident
 
Let's go Pens!!!
 
There's Rusty!!!
 
I think the Pens came to play tonight
 
Blue, where are you, boy? Come on Blue!

Mr Kotter!!
 
That's more like it. Gotta keep that going another 40 and they'll be alright
 
Who’s balls are gonna drop and lay out Clutterbuck? Someone man up and make the guy second guess.

Aside 2-0. Cannot complain
