But, it's not Guiness. This is the first round. The Pens need to adjust their game to a more defensive approach or they are done. I don't care how good Philly is, the Pens SHOULD beat them!

Who's we? If you're making the excuses, you can stop.

I don't know if it's pinned on the coaches or the players, but this team is simply going through the motions out there, and expecting their opposition to do the same. It's painful to watch, and it's certainly not going to get this team very far. If they want to go anywhere this year, the Penguins need to start protecting their net.

Philly is a good team. They're down 0-2 in the ECF. Put your big boy pants on and deal with it - there's still 2 losses to go before they're out. I hope the men in the lockerroom aren't pee-ing their pants, too.
I wasn't aware that Malkin was left alone all season and just now is dealing with teams focusing on him.
Rocco is trying out to take over the screen name Puck Drama 2.0. Sad.
I love how reality is mocked on this board.

It's not, but it should be. These are the two best teams in the East. No one guaranteed PGH a ticket punched to the Finals. It is what it is - they're playing them in round one. Are there areas where they should be playing better? Absolutely. They came WAY off the gas in game one and gave that game away. Tonight was much more even, in my opinion, but the breaks didn't go their way.
You've been watching playoff hockey long enough to know that the next two games could just as easily fall to the Pens as the past two have fallen to Philly. This IS the Eastern Conference Finals.

The people absolving Malkin since he's getting double-teamed and hit. I'd call that an excuse.

Like the reality of the whole team sucking out loud? The reality that we scored 5 but let up 7 (plus an EN)?
Make stupid comments does not equal reality. Sorry.

I can't see how you can believe that. With this p*ss poor team defense the only team they would be up against would be Florida
Philly is a bad match up for PGH and have been all season; same as PGH is a bad matchup for NYR.

So your order of problems with the team tonight would be: Malkin, Neal...................... everything else? Just curious because that's all you've managed to type for about 25 pages.

bs. Ottawa beat Rangers 3 - 1 this year and NYR took it to them. Pens have no d and no grit. End of story.
