Yeah, Rinne was awesome last night.

That's a great atmosphere down there. Best in the league imo. Too bad that Preds fan we had doesn't post anymore.

Bridgestone gets loud during games.

It is hard being a Pens fan that lives in Nashville right now.

5-0 not even halfway through the game, and Rinne stays in goal. /smh

Rinne #35 got pulled after the first period at 3-0. Goals 4&5 were against Saros #74.

Pens look great tonight. I hope they keep their foot on the gas.

Not a good night for the Preds but it seems like when the Penguins really need to win, they do.

Yep, I"m an idiot. I missed the start of the 2nd per, and didn't realize they switched.

Those one-sided beat down games aren't always the most fun to watch. Unless, of course, it's your team laying the beating on somebody.

Preds fans are insinuating that their loss is because of racism. Lol

The Subban Crosby incident.

Huh, I didn't think liberals watched hockey.

Subban deserves whatever he gets out there.

Exactly right, Steve. Subban dishes it out, takes dives, whines and generally can be an agitator with the best of them.

Plus, he and Crosby have been going at each other almost every chance they get. Often it appears that Subban is the instigator, but who knows which one starts it.

Subban is a very skilled player for sure. And he is also a complete dickhead on the ice. For years he has been a cheap shot artist. Famous for slue-footing guys, cheap shots, and hits away from the play. Several cheap shots in this series. He always "loses his edge" in hopes of drawing a penalty - especially when behind the net. Even Milberry said between periods that Subban had that coming from Crosby. That "incident" had nothing to do with racism and everything to do with a jagoff getting what he had coming to him.

You don't have to tell Bruins fans. We know all too well.

To the surprise of no one, Subban made a dumb play that lead to the open net goal.

Ah well, congrats to the Pens, first repeat champ in almost 20 years.

And Nashville has nothing to be ashamed of; they've been over-achieving since the playoffs started.

Theyll be talking about that bad call for awhile Im sure. Brutal to do that in an elimination game.

It happens but its much more magnified in that setting.

Congrats to Penguins.

That ref is going to get chewed out, for sure. But not for making a bad call. It was a controversial call, but from his vantage point, he lost sight of the puck, so it was the right call.

No, what he's going to get chewed out for is the fact that he was out of position and therefore not in an optimal vantage point to make a better observation.

In the end, it was just one more controversial call during a playoff season when the overall officiating wasn't the greatest.

The NHL has released the list of protected / unprotected players for each team in the upcoming expansion draft. There's a few surprises, for sure, and it will take some time to digest it all.

Worth looking into to see how your team(s) fared:

[MassCobra]

If I were to pick from the list of unprotected Bruins I would have to go with Colin Miller. I think he still has a lot of upside.
I know LV can only take 1 player from each team but if I could pick as many as I wanted from any team I think I would start with half of the available Penguins.

 

[Blk04L]

I don't understand why Florida went 4-4-1, or why they protected Bjugstad.

Actually, I come to expect these type of decisions with that franchise.
