100%

You can see his head hit the ice. And then he tries to get up and falls.

He then smiles. I remember seeing a football buddy do the exact same thing. The smile is not a happy smile but a nervous one.

He better get checked out at intermission.
No you’re not.

Pens weren't as sharp during the 2nd Period,seemed to give Toronto too much room in the Neutral Zone.
Ned had 3 outstanding saves.Battled his way through that entire Period.
PP just continues to fail.Bunting belongs in front of the Goalie.The bumper pla6s look nice but aren't cutting it.
Sid took a beating late.Stick to the face,late hit.Both unpunished.Forget the PP count,an infraction has to get called but we know what the deal is.
Pens can't get away from what worked early in this game.Stop giving Jeff Carter minutes.Defensemen have to stay patient.

The power play is this close, this close~ as all of us have said since October.
Reilly Smith, maybe he has a goal in him tonight.
Sid with the Bermuda triangle of bruises and blood. Get the 2 points.

Maybe one of the worst non calls I’ve seen in 40 years of following the sport. We’ve seen double minors reduced to minors and how that’s not a high stick is beyond me. Regardless of the puck also hitting Crosbys face.

Also, Mathew’s say Sid coming. Watching the Toronto feed and they are calling a terrible game.

If they can hold on for 20 more minutes and even finish this game with 1 point, I'll gladly take it. Get even with DET and then get ready to take the 4-point game on Thursday.

I have a feeling a lot of PPs are going to go to Toronto (NHL's way of making sure PPs are always even....)

3rd not starting out well. Failure to clear leads to a penalty.

Wow. That has to be a record. 3 seconds!

Edit again: No, forgot about Lemieux scoring off the faceoff.

Not calling penalties because one team keeps committing them is putting yourself in the game.

Calling dives as penalties to try to balance PP time is putting yourself in the game.

Neither penalty we got called was actually a penalty and Leafs have been getting away with assault.

I mean, did anyone honestly expect this period to start any different? That might halt the even ups though.

With that, powerplays should tilt back to our favor. Unless the refs are on Toronto payroll.

The Penguins in the past 25 minutes are the group we've loved so much the first 70 games of the season. This is abysmal...

This is where the season ends. The Leafs are just grinding the Pens into dust. They're both faster and more physical. The Pens can't even clear their own zone. This is like watching a snuff film.
