So @
Ethereal - not sure if you're watching the series.
Pens up 2-0, won both home games. The first game the talking heads said the Pens got lucky, I didn't see it that way and I'm not being a homer, I think the first game was pretty evenly matched even though we won 5-3 with one late empty net goal. The Preds scored late in the third period to tie it up at 3-3 but we got a really late goal and an empty net. Pens were up 3-0 at the end of the first (they didn't get a shot on goal during the entire second period, for 37 minutes) and it looked like a blowout but.. as said.
During the first game the Predators had the first goal of the game called back, that was a big momentum killer and probably the reason why the talking heads went there.
Second game, blowout. 4-1 and it was closer than that but still a blowout. Officiating was awful, it was bad in the first game, pathetic in the second game. Not one sided, the Pens benefited from a bad call or two but overall, the penalties on Malkin and Crosby were just awful. Awful, and it got nasty toward the end.
So I brought this topic up with the whipmistress, if the Pens win the cup for the second year in a row, who gets the rookie of the year award? Matt Murray who is technically a rookie this year and if they win he'll have two Stanley Cup rings, or Jake Geuntzel who just tied the rookie playoff scoring total with 12 and will likely break it in the next two games.
I say Murray, he was "elected" the best player on the ice so far from the talking heads.
Fun series.
Are they still playing basketball?
