NHL 2017-2018 Season: Penguins already sucking dick

As someone who doesn't watch as much hockey as you all, what the fuck at goaltender interference when the fucking goalie is outside of the crease?

Seems like MAF just walked into Smith-Pelly, and it literally had no impact on the play.

I thought MAF was still in the blue, just barely. Felt like DSP could have avoided any contact pretty easily, too. Just lack of awareness in that spot. Right call imo.

8 and 92 carrying the load once again. Holtby good when needed, too.

They've been getting really lucky too. Lots of bad give aways, especially in their own zone.

It's gone both ways, thank goodness Kuznetsov scored his goal, otherwise we'd be about 0 for 4 on odd man rushes again. I swear in that period was the 2nd 3 on 1 chance of the series where Eller just fires it high and wide.

Yeah, I think they're causing the Knights to give it away in the offensive zone, and the number of shots the team is blocking so the puck doesn't even get to Holtby is fantastic. That, plus Holtby being hot is great, and Fleury is rattled.

This is fun hockey to watch, and the officiating seems a whole lot better tonight.

Okay. Thanks, Holtby. Fuck.

Holtby, what the fuck dude?

leave it to these refs to ignore Vegas player literally put his stick between skate boot and blade of Orlov to trip him up in our end, but then call a penalty on our own player tripping Backstrom up in their end.

Dat backhand sauce from Beags.

Think there were actually two right before that.

In the playoffs most penalties only count as 0.334 of a penalty and you need to acrue an integer amount before the arbitrary timer resets.

I'm curious about the no call when Wilson was on the ice being pummeled by two players behind Fluery.

It was Wilson.

Good win. 2 more.

You're just starting to believe at 2-1 series lead in the Finals? Don't get me wrong, Fleury could go on super acid (as opposed to the regular acid he was on last night with some of the robbery he was pulling even in a loss) and we could lose this series, but the way the team is playing, we're certainly going to have a chance to win every game.

Enjoy the ride. I know most fans will freak out irrationally if we go up 3-1, but I think tomorrow night is huge to put Vegas on the precipice. Up 3-1 three straight chances to close it out, I'm going to feel really good about our chances. I know we did lose 3 straight to Tampa, but I don't see it happening again, and we're undefeated in these playoffs in any sort of elimination game (chance to eliminate another team, or to avoid elimination ourselves).

Minimum tickets for Game 4 / 6 are $1000 / $1278 atm, obviously waiting until later is not going to be lowering the prices for the Finals. You could find decent 4XX section ones for $800 originally.
