And even the day after they lose - I had my Pens gear on today, and was waiting for some of the local Bruins bandwagoners to make a comment. No takers though.

I've heard this group being compared to the Capitals over the past couple years : tons of offense, but no defensive structure and the wrong disposition whenever they go into the corners.

But dude this team has displayed tons of heart time and again from last year through this year. We know they're capable of it. To me sloppy and undisciplined play isn't indicative of a lack of heart, it's indicative of a lack of focus and mental laziness. Maybe you'd call all of that one and the same but I think it's something different. There was nothing timid about the way they were playing last night. It was just sloppy, some of the sloppiest and undisciplined hockey i've seen in some time from a playoff team. Lovejoy looked like a beer leaguer who won a radio contest prize of getting to play defense in an NHL game last night. He was that bad. And he wasn't the only one stinking up the joint. We know these guys are capable of better.

I know we hate the Caps, but I watched them start to finish today against the Bruins, and saw the last half of their game on Thursday. I was rooting for 'em today....solely due to the assholes in the Boston media who constantly diss on the Penguins. Fuck them!! Anyway....too bad our D couldn't be as disciplined, as solid, as either one of those teams.

This. We have not been the same playoff hockey team without a grinder in front of the net, like Roberts or Guerin. We REALLY miss that kind of tough player.

Another thing...outside of Dupuis, not many other wingers on this team play D worth a shit. Where the fuck is the unbelievable back-checking we saw in our two cup runs? We got rid of all the wingers who were willing to do the small stuff to win. Now, its all zig-zag passes, east to west. Cannot win that way

One more bitch about Bylsma's coaching and then I'll shut up about it. After the quick and successful PPG with Sid off the first unit, we get another opportunity. I mentionded this in my pre series analysis that Dan has to avoid the "coaches crack" that is Crosby. What happens but he throws Sid out there with Geno and there's the shorty in our net. I swear Byslma can't get out of his own way sometimes and continues to trip over his own dick...
