I guess it goes without saying that should the Wings take a 2-0 lead? You can start thinking about the lame excuses you’ll use to get out of work for the parade. Pens win? Little Gary rejoices and we’ve got ourselves a series.
Reminder: Predict the game’s first scorer in the comments. First one to get it right gets a program from Game 1.
Name the song without looking it up and you get…well, nothing really. But you’ll be cool.

I soooo wanted Homer to get that goal.

Geebus, don’t ANY of the stupid Penguins defensemen actually TALK to their goaltender?
They are absolutely leaving him out to dry with no help whatsoever.
Goal for Homer. Disallow that!

Hoo boy. Lots of chances for Pitt. GBB had two goals on his stick.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 05/26/08 at 07:39 PM ET
Homer being credited with the goal. Good. From close-in too.
Good god, was every single Penguin player at the net during that play? Buckets had eons and galazies to clear the zone…

Kill was pretty good—some strange bounces though
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/26/08 at 07:39 PM ET
I was almost right…I’ll take the two goal advantage over a game one program.
Good PK so far….good effin game for us so far.
Can’t wait to see the intensity we play with at Melon Arena.

Good PK. Now they just need to get that pressure up again. Nice play by Dats. I think he’s got a magnet on his stick.

Versus says he did.

Pens first 3 shots of the game at the 14 min mark—- SWEET
Wings stay out of the sin bin they Win!!
Pens got nothing 5 on 5
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/26/08 at 07:40 PM ET
Pens scrambling a bit, but they haven’t stopped skating yet, and the sticks are still active.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 05/26/08 at 07:41 PM ET
and then he goes back to kick him while he’s down? what a tool.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/26/08 at 07:43 PM ET
Wings to the PP after a TV timeout—should be well rested!!!

In my house that kind of talk would get you thrown out… we’re WAAAAY superstitious. And that’s too much of a jinx. I’m knocking on wood right now.

Incidentally, CBC had a great story from the Legends of Hockey night. They asked Gordie Howe if he had any regrets from the old days, and he said he regretted that Rocket Richard died. Because they really found on the ice, and Mr. Hockey said he regretted that he didn’t have the chance to become friends with him after they retired. Old number Nine. Pure class.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/26/08 at 07:44 PM ET
Hudler, Mule and Cleary to start the PP
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/26/08 at 07:44 PM ET
From the CBC replay, Malone shoulda had 3 more for x-checking Lids.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 05/26/08 at 07:45 PM ET
Fleury looks lost out there. welcome to the Stanley Cup Finals, kid.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/26/08 at 07:45 PM ET
@ Jen—I’m not superstitious, I just have no cats!!

I have recently gotten into that habit

There are a few ducks on the lawn below our balcony. I can drop a chair on one. Does that count?

Sacrificed them before the Finals?
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/26/08 at 07:46 PM ET
why did they blow the whistle while the Pens had the puck?
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/26/08 at 07:47 PM ET
It is a game day ritual, incidentally, there are very few cats in the neighborhood!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/26/08 at 07:48 PM ET
Rafalski had pinched in from the point on that PP, but then stumbled. Too bad—he was in prime position to take a pass across the slot and shoot while Fleury’s attention was on the short side.
Let’s have a good solid PK. Don’t give ‘em a sniff.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/26/08 at 07:48 PM ET
“must’ve gotten help from one of his teammates.”
put some glasses on you idiot. he picked up his own stick.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/26/08 at 07:48 PM ET
Filly playing PK monster, and Ozy is a rock!
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 05/26/08 at 07:49 PM ET
I revise my previous comment - it isn’t just the defensemen that aren’t talking to their goaltender, none of the players seem to be communicating well with each other.
They’ve played in loud arenas before, so it can’t be that.
Does anyone know if they were this discombobulated during the season?
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 05/26/08 at 07:49 PM ET
PENS ONLY shots this period have been on the PP—just saying
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/26/08 at 07:49 PM ET
Another terrible penalty to take by the Pens.
Lookin’ good. Lookin’ very good.
Posted by jrl123 on 05/26/08 at 07:50 PM ET
Welcome to the lineup Gary.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 05/26/08 at 07:50 PM ET
Roberts takes a penalty while on the PP
FRUSTRATION perhaps??
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/26/08 at 07:50 PM ET
Geez. Finally a call on Roberts.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/26/08 at 07:51 PM ET
WWGRD? Take a stupid penalty in the offensive zone on a powerplay. That’s what.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 05/26/08 at 07:51 PM ET
Heh. Roberts, too slow to keep up with the play. Who’s old now?
Wings’ll get a PP on clean ice to start the second.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/26/08 at 07:51 PM ET
Sure, We’ll take a PP on fresh ice to start the 2nd. Thanks buddy!
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 05/26/08 at 07:51 PM ET
Ok… so who’s going to see the “Love Guru” just because it’s got hockey in it?

Even strength shots so far this series: Wings 37, Pens 10.
