Pitch dominated the opening minutes. After the Bruins settled down, they owned the middle of the ice.
Pitt had to dump and chase the whole 3rd. No success.

It won't be fun for Penguins if they keep trying to take their frustrations out with physical play. They need to keep calm and just keep trying to score. You won't score 50 goals a game everyday, won't happen.

As the announcers were saying all game 'this is a finesse prolific scoring Pens team, they don't want to play the bump and grind Bruins hockey or they'll be in trouble'.

Game 1- Bump and grind.

True dat, its the problem everytime they run into the Flyers.

But I knew game one was gonna be a bit different then the rest of the series, since so much prepare time. Bruins executed better.

Vokoun wasn't the problem tonight. He didn't play horrible at all. Penguins just got outplayed after the first 10 minutes of the game. Crosby started his bitching and others started to lose their cool.

I think the only downfall for the Penguins would be goaltending but Vokoun didn't play bad IMO.

Their downfall was defensive positioning when Boston had possession. Boston had many quality chances uncovered. Such as Horton all alone, Bergeron in a 2 on 0 shorthanded breakaway and much more

Tony Amonte pretty much said Crosby is a bitch. :rofl:

Tuukka Rask is my star of the game, and my boy Krejci staying fabulous.B)

Pens got frustrated and found themselves trying to win at the Bruins' game. They will lose the series if they continue to do that.

Vokoun is good. I'm not saying he isn't, but when it comes down to it he isn't good enough to offset the downfall of the pens defense. Pens need a lundqvist-caliber goalie to do that, frankly.
