amazing how every lucky bounce goes the Pens way. xshub commenting on how the pens defense sucks, but we just can’t seem to get around it. I know the other series think that they are in contention, but this really does feel like the finals, doesn’t it?
Hockey is an amazing game because when it works, it looks so effortless; but when players miss a connection on a sure-fire goal, or a goalie makes a miracle save, it looks so darn impossible.
In the playoffs with players diving to try to interrupt every shot, it’s even more frustrating.
When players re-direct a shot on its way to the goal, you know they’re just putting the stick out there and praying. Sometimes the hockey gods answer.
