The West is far tougher than the East.

So....opinions on Malkin not being suspended despite receiving an instigator penalty in the final minute of a game?

The NHL really kinda embarassed themselves on how they worked around the rule on this one..

They simply won't do it in this situation.

I think it was a good no suspension. Walker didn't get suspended in the Carolina-Bruins series and that was worse.

I actually like the fact that the NHL does everything it can to have the winners determined on the ice. I think if this were the regular season Malkin is out, but there is no way you suspend anyone short of them actually taking a stick and repeatedly hitting a defenseless person in the head. I would have hated to see a scenerio that happened in the NBA a few years back that completely destroyed Phoenix championship run by suspending people who got up off the bench during a fight. There needs to be a common sense department and I think the NHL got it right.

The NHL wants a good final series, and that wouldn't help.

I agree with this. I think any of the 8 Western teams that made the playoffs this year could have won it all in the East.

EDIT: Well, maybe not Columbus. tongue

The Wings themselves say: their hardest series was with Anaheim.

Well, the Pens decided to try to make a series of it. The bounces went their way tonite.


The positive to draw for the Wings is that they completely owned the building throughout the second period.. I have to admit i didn't actually see the 3rd goal for the Pens (was watching a rerun of Conan O'Brien's first tonite show :P) so i don't know how it looked...

Still i kinda figured the Pens would take tonite's game..

Let's see what happens in game 4 now happy

At least it's not a sweep.

Wow, Maxi Pad really came through for the Pens last night. I know that he isn't the most "talented" player on the team, but I would argue that he is the key! He is the hardest skater, he fights for the puck, he's smooth on defence, his offence is starting to move in a very positive direction, and he's willing to get gritty.

That being said, the Pens still have alot of work ahead of them. I am still not satisfied with all aspects of their game. They really need to give up on their "Dump and Chase" game. It's really frusturating to see it fail 100% of the time. A few calls went our way, and Detroit had a few key turnovers, but don't expect that to happen tomorrow in game 4. The team needs to take a lesson from Max Talbot (Maxi Pad) and do whatever it takes!

Let's go PENS!

Pens don't have enough depth, I fear.
