[Mangler]

Bad play, bad calls; wasn't the good guys afternoon...

Kessel is horrible these playoffs. Team seemed to play better without Doumalin...interesting

Would love to see Letang get another shot with the top line over Kessel.

Wilson got 3 games for his hit on ZAR.

I think he is hurt, think it happened in the Flyer series.

Split the games on the road, split them at home... Very competitive series!

Huge night for Murray & a crucial win for the Pens to tie the series up. Need better play from the 3rd & 4th lines, and still not loving Kessel. Like Scouty said, Caps are playing physical and he wants no part of it. He's a turnover machine playing as passive as he is.

Back on the road to Capital One Arena. Washington is on the ropes & frustrations were mounting for them. Pens need to strike while hot and keep the pressure on. Big big big game 5 coming up.

Hope Letang is ok after that hit from Oshie.

Letang seemed to be fighting Ok after that hit...wonder if the league will look at it?

I sure hope so. Clearly launched at his head. Wilson got 3 for doin essentially the same shit. Caps are unraveling.

I saw the clip, luckily Letang turns and gets his hands up to fend him off, nice touch;Oshie leaving his feet to deliver the hit. this was pretty far away from the puck wasn't it?

Pens seem to be getting under their skins...

You can see Letang clearing the puck right before the hit. Still going after the head should draw a suspension.

Something is up, he's getting very little mustard on his shots right now. I don't know why MS doesn't sit him for a game or two and let him heal up. He's obviously not helping the team right now???

Nothin like a 3rd period crumble to rip the carpet out from underneath your feet... Christ I'm surprised my TV survived

...and just when I thought Letang was read to move up to the top line... GTFO lol. Although Kessel still doesn't inspire any confidence. Both are very soft on the puck and the Caps are taking full advantage.

Well, onto the golf course. Fitting it ended in OT with a giveaway and break away.

Letang was awful in the Cap series. Even the announcers kept saying stop moving to that side and he just kept doing it leading to D breakdown after D breakdown.

Felt like I got punched in the nuts last night...

I was hoping for the best in OT but expecting the worst with all the breakaways they gave up over the last 2 games plus Phil and Geno not getting it done. It still hurt but not punch in the nuts level

I tried to brace for the worst, but still felt like I got the wind knocked out of me. To me it felt like the Pens were starting to play better, and I was hoping to see continuous improvement over games 6 & 7. But the same mistakes continued to haunt them.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

No wonder they lost in the big moment...
