are we watching the same game? They controlled the entire second.

All it takes is a mistake and the Pens are on it... gotta be careful.

Spezza should have played this game. It's slow with only a decent amount of physicality.

No question in my mind he'll be back for Game 2.

Spezza would definitely help, hopefully he's back soon... Sens have been playing great... lots of great opportunities but they can't bury them. Pens are so quick to capitalize on mistakes and their PP is wizardry. PMac will have to adjust, but we're in there... the score does not reflect the play.

It's the mistakes that burn us, Cowen basically cost us 2 goals.

He interfered with his man off the faceoff, it goes on all the time, just happened to be called, I don't see any frustration.

I think we're playing pretty well, just not nearly the finish that the Penguins have.

Once again down to 5D

Him and Kunitz were going at it for a while after a few stoppages before... what can ya do. Refs are letting some stuff go, some stuff not.

Gryba not coming back. Concussion? Ugh.

To the PP.

SCORE. NOW. DAMMIT!

Shorty for the Pens. Over.

Diddle man.

Gonch played that perfectly. Anderson needed to have that.

Bing!

Man. Special Teams is the story tonight. Got two days to work on things before the next game. PMac... time to work your magic.

Not Andy's best game, no. We weren't going to sweep, or even win first two. Rangers lost first two on the road and are still playing -- and, no I'm not comparing the Pens to the Caps. But all we need to do is steal one game -- tonight Anderson wasn't good enough to do that, maybe Friday he will be.

I agree with Oggie, the game is far from fast; Spezza would not have a problem keeping up. Maybe Friday, for sure Sunday.

If Gryba can't go next game, Wiercioch is still injured -- Borocop time?

Best game Conacher has played as a Sen.
