Well...one is a former offensive stud for the mighty Penguino, who at one time was the youngest player ever to score 50 goals (pre-Gretzk). The other is a douche.
Maybe I spoke too soon the other night after hearing McGuire's prediction of the Pens winning the series. I simply thought, since Pierre McGuire is the smartest hockey mind on the planet, that what he says must be true. After an 0-2 deficit, I couldn't help but second guess my faith in Pierre McTurd.
But there's reason for optimism. The Pens have not played that bad. Actually, they played well enough to win at least one of the first two games. Not to take anything away from Detroit...they're the best team in the NHL. But with a bounce or two, a call here or there, and this thing could easily be 1-1. It's not, so we move on.
The real reason for optimism...Pierre Larouche called it today on ESPN Radio. The Pens will not only win tonight. They will win the series. Keep battling. Keep up the pressure. Keep getting pucks on net. Osgood will break. Or at least dive...again.
This series is far from over people.
NOTE to the NHL:
By rule, players aren't allowed to cover up pucks in the crease. That would be a penalty shot.

They're also not allowed to instigate fights in the final five and NOT be suspended, so there is that.
yeah....but that rule talks to "message sending." that clearly was not the case. Summary of incident:
Max jabbed at Osgood.
Osgood dove (typical).
Zetterberg gets a free x-check.
Malkin joins scrum.
Fists fly.
wasn't like Carcillo punching a defenseless player.
You gotta believe!!!!!
There was a message sent there - it was that Evgeni cannot fight.
pierre is a fucking tool.
no wait, check that -- that might suggest he has a use.
