Awesome game last night, and exactly what the NHL wanted to see. The 2 biggest young starts of the league each scoring a hat trick in the same game. Amazing atmosphere in the arena too.

If Crosby doesn't start getting some help, the Pens are done.

And from where I was sitting last night, Semin should have been called for a trip on the go ahead goal.

Varlamov has been impressive so far, I'm wondering if / when he'll crack. If he does, the Caps are in a bad situation. Theodore has never really impressed me in the post season, and now that all the confidence is in the young glove, I wonder how he'd perform if he were pt back in mid period of a game.

That game last night was the best one by far this playoff year. Ovy and Crosby had a great dual with the better team winning. Sid is being hung out to dry, which is unfortunate. Cant wait for games 3 & 4

Lets hope the Ducks can go 1 up on the Red Wings tonight

Wow, Chicago rolled over and died last night. No emotion out of the players or the crowd. The best O pressure of the game came from the blue liners, and the only line that could get anything going was the 4th line.

The Ducks / Wings game, on the other hand, was quite enjoyable for me to watch. Little would make me happier than to see the Wings hitting the front 9 instead of the ice.

Fuckin bullshit call on Dupuis, and Caps tie it. Pisses me off.

That Varlamov kid is unreal. If Three-or-more was in net Pens would've won the first 2 games a total of 10-5.

Honestly glad we won't have any sweeps in the quarter finals. Great game again, wish I could have been there.

Great games last night, Glad that Pens won the game as I would love to see this series go 7.
Also glad the Bruins are down for a change. And I hope it stays that way.

If the Pens can get Malkin going (he finally showed up last night), I'd say there's a pretty good chance the series will go 6 or 7. After the soft goal the Caps scored, Marc-André Fleury locked the game down pretty well.

Honestly, if the Pens can stick around, this series could be a better watch than the finals. I'd think the NHL at this point wants Caps / Pens to go 7 with the winner advancing to play the Red Wings in the Finals. Personally, I'll be happy with anyone but the Wings at this point.

I think it is over for the Ducks now. Best of 3 series with 2 games in Detroit, the the Wings were rolling last night.

Not impresed at all with the way Vancouver played lastnight, Why the hell were they playing so much defense on a 1 goal lead??? It totally backfired on them. The Chicago crowd is a joke, where is the life in that building? They were deflated and sounded hopeless just b/c of a 1 goal deficit.

Man I miss the Jets in Winnipeg, we knew how BRING THE NOISE! Not to mention the classic white-out.
