PLAYOFF GAME DAY: Game 6: Pittsburgh Penguins (3) @ Ottawa Senators (2) - 7:00pm ET - Sat. Apr. 24th, 2010

4-1 win win win

Contact? Caused by the Penguins.

Puck in the net? Yup.

Call on the ice? Goal.

Net on the moorings? Can see the green pegs but they are in the holes.

SHOULD be a goal.

no goal

damn
at least a power play

Will the Sens *ever* get a call from Toronto going their way?

No.

That was the right call on the no-goal.

Sens gotta survive in the third

You would say that

But I think it's safe to say that, for some reason or another, that the majority of the calls have favoured the Penguins.

Just look back to the same situation almost, where Ottawa got scored on and the call on the ice was no goal that was overturned and now Ottawa gets a goal that was called on the ice overturned.

Yeah, there's been a lot of those, hasn't there. We seem to always be on the "wrong" side. Funny, that.

And I'm sooo glad you're not the coach. Survive the third? Are you nuts? They have to come out and smoke them. Two goal lead, you can afford to take a small chance, make it the rightful three goal lead it should be.

As for that rule, I expressed my feelings about it. There is nothing with that goal post coming off a couple of inches that make it difficult to determine if the puck crossed would have still gone in the net. That was pretty much how they used to call it back a few years ago. If the defending team was responsible for the goal post being dislodged, and the position of the goal did not have any bearing on the puck or prevented the goalie from making a save (e.g. the goalie was not trying to go up against the post) then it was a good goal.

Dash, that's fantastic. Even better than I had imagined. I was *thinking* to put NHL where it said TV but was afraid it would not fit. Putting the logo there instead was a great idea.

I wonder what would have happened if Leclaire were to have conveniently lost his mask?

Hold the fort guys, I've got to put the kids down.

I hate Cooke

This series is over. I'd be really curious to see the time of possession in this 3rd period, because it seems like a 10 to 1 ratio for the Pens.

Hanging on for dear life isn't working. Time to press for a goal boys.

Sens had this game but things just fell apart for them. One thing leads to another.

We'll just have to win it in O.T., Sens.

Prager, I didn't mean that Ottawa should have been playing to survive, I just meant Pittsburgh was coming on so they've got to weather the storm-and they didn't. I don't think they had a scoring chance all period.

They stopped playing their game and decided that a 2 goal lead was enough. Clouston should have called a time-out a few minutes into the 3rd and told them to just play the game they played in the first ten minutes.

I can't remember the last time I've said out loud several times that the 4th line needs a shift. Seriously.

It's the wrong attitude. It should have been the Sens storming the Pens and seeing if Fleury could weather it. I haven't watched the third yet, but from the sounds of it, they hanged back trying to protect the lead. They should have been the ones initiating. The Pens are tired, too. It wasn't just Ottawa who's playing their third game in as many nights.
