This sure as heck better not be boring hockey the rest of the way.

Cool. Did I just see the end of the Pens' season?

These stupid long passes from the defensive zone are not making me happy. They've done it quite a few times for no reason. I'm okay with making a long low-percentage pass if the upside is that you get a breakaway. The Pens are doing because of apparent laziness or cluelessness. If Letang's last two ...

If I'm not mistaken ... the Canadiens have a huge advantage in disrupting passes. I'm at a loss to explain this. Sure, it could be a lucky game, but it looks like one team is simply more interested than the other.

Apparently the strategy called for a horrowshow power play. One reason I'm not an NHL coach is that I would respond by starting the 4th line on the next power play.

Pens are sleepy this period. Maybe this power play wakes them up? Would be really big to open the scoring here.

It always feels like a minor victory when there's a good reason that Sheary's crawling around the ice. Tripping over a linesman? Valid. Tripping over the lettering under the ice? Not so much.
