I'm going to be upstate until sunday, but I hope yinz will fill me in on this.

Update

- Flyers allow soft goal, fall behind early.
- Announcer, coach, player, fan (pick one) fined for saying something unflattering about Pens.

Thuggiest team in the league vs the dirtiest team in the league?

Unlike recent years, its seems like most of the NHL playoff games will be available on basic cable with the exception of the NHLNet games.  NBC, NBC Sports Channel (the old Versus), and CNBC will be picking up the slack.

Yeah, hoping to find a bar in driving distance.

Otis will be fined for suggesting that there are unflattering things to be said about the Pens.

We played like the Washington Capitals tonight. What the fuck?

Their first goal shouldn't have counted, and that interference call on Orpik was bullshit if you ask me.

I hope this was a wake up call. Can't play like pussies and expect to win in the playoffs.

The Pens' D is the antithesis of the Steelers'; a pussified bunch.

Bylsma stopped playing our third defensive pairing, which in my honest opinion, was the only group that could separate their man from the puck last night.

Paul Martin...what a bitch.  Bad angles to the puck.  And played a game reminiscent to Antonio Cromartie's playoff masterpiece with the Chargers and against the Jets a few years back.

Disgusted. Absolutely fucking disgusted. I've never been more ashamed of a Penguins team in recent memory. Someone call Rico Fata and Joe Melichar, we need some professional hockey players in Pittsburgh.

Holy fuck, these goalies suck. Why does Bryz even use a stick? It's not like he ever has it on the ice in front of him.

I hope the winner of this series enjoys their 1st round victory, because with shit goaltending like this, that should be the end of the line.

This is the worst the Pens have played, in what, 5 years?  10 years?  15 years? I put money into playoff tickets one year, first round against the Habs, 96 or 97, one of the Kevin Constantine years.  That's the last time I felt so cheated.

I still blame this epic fail on Shero and his inability to find a decent backup goalie.  It was crystal clear that MAF was already starting to fray around the edges before the deadline.  And the utter lack of discipline is who's fault?   Bylsma's?  It's one thing losing to the phlys in the playoffs (we get ours, they get theirs) but it's another thing losing to the phlys and coming out of it the goonier side.  Not acceptable.
