STREAK EXTENDS TO 14.

MALKIN RETURNS AND GETS A GOAL.

SID GETS TWO ASSISTS.

AND THIS ALL BEFORE IGGY JOINS THE TEAM.

The Pens are so fucking stacked that even MAF's shakiness in net shouldn't stop them.

I don't even know how much you can legitimately call MAF "shaky" right now. I think the Pens as a whole have only let in 13 goals over the past 11 games. MAF's save percentage is a respectable .918, higher than Brodeur, Miller, Price, Reimer, Luongo. GAA of 2.24, which is currently 12th in the league.

You can't call him elite, but I think he's been pretty solid.

Flannel Boy · « **Reply #121 on:** March 28, 2013, 11:53:08 PM »

Vokoun has given up 4 goals against in the equiv of his last six games. Penguins are just playing great D.

MAF has had a mediocre to poor SV% during the bulk of his career.

There were nearly 100 total shots in the Bruins Senators game. Seguin alone had a dozen shots.

Looks like the Pens winning streak is over.

Pens down 3-0 to the Rangers after the first.

Fuck this shit, they're falling apart without Sid. $:-\$

Flannel Boy · « **Reply #132 on:** April 03, 2013, 08:45:14 PM »

This is what happens when your franchise player is brittle. For him, the Leafs offer Kessel and fifth round pick. Kessel has never played fewer than 70 games in a season. This durability is no accident: Kessel has a thick layer of protective fatty tissue on his face to prevent broken jaws. He makes sure to avoid physical contact and the front of the net where flying pucks are to be found.

Montreal since clinching a playoff spot:

lost 5-1 to the Leafs
lost 7-3 to Philly
losing 4-0 halfway through the second to the Pens.

I sense a first-round exit for the Habs....

Last time the Leafs made the playoffs:

1,000 people were on Facebook TOTAL.

Flannel Boy · « **Reply #147 on:** May 06, 2013, 07:09:58 PM »

A playoff game in Toronto right now?! This is about as rare as me going on a date, and hopefully the Leafs are as unsuccessful.

Boogie · « **Reply #148 on:** May 06, 2013, 07:31:58 PM »

Allrighty, so far:

AWESOM-O's Kings not doing so hot.
Penguins doing okay, that 4-3 loss was embarrassing though. Still, Crosby back and beasting with 2 goals and three assists in two games.
Leafs not getting swept.
Vancouver's meltdown providing the lols.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #149 on:** May 06, 2013, 07:38:37 PM »

Islanders easily could have won game 3. They looked like the better team. I don't know enough to comment on the officiating that many people were complaining about.

Anyway, they are fucked. They needed that game to have any chance to somehow win the series.

In his last ten playoff games, Marc-Andre Fleury has 40 goals against.

Crosby is a decent ball-hockey goalie--time to put him in, Boogie.
