I had never noticed a player spending so much time in a game complaining to the refs until seeing Crosby last night. It seemed that he complained every chance he got. It must be so tiresome to be a ref when Crosby is around... and Niskanen slapping his stick to the ice just in front of the lineman calling an off-side. C'mon. Seems to me it will be very easy for the Rangers to make a few Pens lose their cool on Tuesday.
you're right I guess, I have no idea what they were talking about. Perhaps they were talking about where to go on vacation starting Wednesday...
My point is that Pens' frustration level seems high right now, that is something for the Rangers to exploit and take advantage of come Tuesday.

based on what? (I'm curious)
Watching the game last night, after the 1st it was 2-1 and I had a bad feeling the Pens would score a SH goal to tie the game and that would deflate the Rangers. That almost happened but Lundqvist came up big. Then I tell myself that if at this time what I fear the most as a Ranger fan is a SH goal by Sutter or Gibbons then I'd say (without jinxing it) that the odds are on our side.
Putting feelings aside, I'd expect Malkin to be back with Neal on Tuesday to spread out the offense. Neal is one short-temper guy I would try to exploit (if I'm Dorsett or Moore). Rangers need to be very very disciplined and patient. Let the pressure mount. Rangers have shown a knack for winning Games 7, the Pens have not. And then the Pens have Fleury as a wild card to deal with. That will be a helluva game.
I voted Pens in 7 (for the record, there were 2 of us) and that is what I am sticking with.
It will be a Bruins vs Pens east final.
I hate to say it, but I don't like the pens chances for game 7
Good Night Pens!
3-1 series lead and give it away. You'd think the Pens have to make some moves on this team!
Fffffffuuuuuuuuuucccccckkkkkkkkk
