I understand they are professional. However, that is all the media talks about. They can’t get to the next round or anywhere without Crosby. You hear it over and over and over. However, as I said before, I think they beat themselves last night. Felt like they were playing an elimination game, not Tampa. I think we can pull it out though. Sit Kovie for Game 7. GO PENS!

With all due respect, I really don’t think the Pens let what others say influence them. I just think they’ve run into a very good, skilled hockey team (the Lightning didn’t get 103 points by being pushovers). Having said that, I too, think the Pens can win Game 7. If they can dictate the tempo without taking penalties, I think they have a good chance. A big game from Fleury would be huge. Regarding the power play, early in the series they were shooting before establishing position in the Tampa zone. Now they’re getting into position but not shooting. It all stems from a lack of confidence. Nothing a timely goal wouldn’t cure …

If you were Coach Bylsma, what would you say to the team? I would say, “You all are letting the Naysayers get to you. You are nothing without Crosby! This team can’t make it to the 2nd round without Crosby.” Whoever wants it more will win game 7. GO PENS! Also, if I was the Coach watching the Power Play with the team, I would say…”Nice pass. Nice pass. Nice pass. Nice pass. Nice pass. SHOOT THE PUCK!!!!” I think they beat themselves last night.
