Don't worry, the Pens were up 3-1 last year too and the Caps ended up winning Game 5.

Eh. His real bad is still pretty ok. They aren't losing because of (their) goaltending. They can't loving score. You aren't going to win a playoff series where you only score 3 goals in a single game.

Aside from the clincher game against Toronto he's been noticeable sub par for how few shots he's face in some games especially. I think if this series is ending the way it's looking like it will it in particular is going to be one he'd sooner forget in his career. MAF can no doubt relate like ummmm say...vs. Philly 2012 where the guy on the other end was the eminently beatable and sub par himself Bryzgalov. Now it's also looking like it was no anomaly that they struggled against the wild card team that just barely made the last spot on account of it's phenom rookies clutch play.

wow that was an incredibly lucky and important win for the pens

there's a lot of the things the pens did poorly, but holy poo poo they have to start putting more pressure on the caps through the neutral zone and especially in their own zone. it's mind boggling to me how much they back off and give the caps room to cycle

also i am probably going to keep saying this until it happens -- i would not mind seeing ruhwedel or streit sub in for maybe maatta or hainsey

Hainsey is killing me out there. He just panics with every puck. He's supposed to be a vet not a turnover machine.

Yeah I know but holy gently caress. I think even Montreal had more chances in that series than the Pens just did in this last game.

It's not like they can even do that much more though. I mean they can play better than this for sure but the Caps are clearly the better team by far with Sid/Tang/Sheary out. They're arguably better even with those guys in. But luckily the playoffs are bullshit and the Pens are finding a way.

the best part is that even with the oshie call, the caps still netted out ahead because the refs missed the obvious double minor high stick on jake'n'bake

Maybe just a couple more. Montreal was very bad. Washington is a team that can tell you about massively outplaying the opposition and still losing.

I think before Crosby went out Pittsburgh was far and away the better team, and it was only when they had a lead that the play went the other way for extended periods.

Maybe. In the only game the Caps had a lead the shot attempts were a lot closer and that was with Sid going down early. The Pens also usually suck on the road so I'm sure that has something to do with it as well.

The Pens dominated that Halak team in a similar fashion and also got owned. iirc Subban was great that series too even though he was a rookie.

His average over the whole playoffs is 914, against the pens I'd bet it's sub 900, that's bad. MAF has stood on his head so can't really blame the caps too much for not scoring. It's certainly not for lack of effort.

when you dont score on MAF, you blame the forwards. MAF is a goalie to be scored upon.
