*Oh man, what a nailbiter toward the end there! Thank gawd for Bunting! Honestly thought the Pens were going to pull another classic "third period crumble."

You can't but marvel at how Pittsburgh just entered the playoff picture from absolutely nowhere. They were dead and buried, plus they had lost Guentzel, and their megastars Malkin and Letang were underperforming for most of their games, but for them to not only win this game, but tie with PHILADELPHIA, of all teams, in the wildcard table paints a signature headline. Just imagine if they get in ahead of the Flyers. Just imagine. 😂

They have the tie breaker (regulation wins), they're ahead of the Flyers already 😉

Crosby's 36 years old and just got his 40th goal. He's been over a point-per-game for every season of his entire career. He can't skate as fast as he used to, but in every other sense he's showing no signs of slowing down. What a legend.

[@fcktrouba3310]

Just keep in going, Pens - you deserve the playoffs more than all of the other teams in the race!

Сумасшедший матч. Пингвины как будто обрели вторую молодость. Рано еще говорить о выходе на кубок Стенли. Радует что не смотря на то что их уже списали, они борются до конца. Рад за Малкина что становится одним из лидеров в команде. Также за Кучерова, он сегодня набрал 3 очка.

It's certain players doing the rush, the offense is their best defense you're right but they can't play an entire game. Their lower end players need better possession training.

[@user-bj7rm5gz8m]

Матч выдался интересный и захватывающий! Тампа много позволяла Питсбургу на своем пятаке и в т.ч. по броскам! Малкин был сегодня в ударе, и жаль будет если такая команда как Питтсбург не попадет в плов, но винить в этом они могут только себя! The match turned out to be interesting and exciting! Tampa allowed Pittsburgh a lot on its back, including. by throws! Malkin was on fire today, and it would be a shame if a team like Pittsburgh didn’t make the cut, but they can only blame themselves for that!

Pens still have rhe the islanders, philly, detroit, washington to get that last spot. Thats exciting and beating the bolts is no easy games in fact the way they are playing it was a nightmare matchup. Like the wings and the rangers last night, they have them all they could handle but the rangers with 5 mins left in the game got the winner. And the caps had a 2-0 lead on the canes who were outshootimg them like 35-13 and it caught up with them as the canes tied it and won on a pp goal with 2 mins left lol. All that helped pittburgh and philly losing ro buffalo was very helpful. Philly have lost like 4 straight and the caps have lost 5 .. this is all why Pittsburgh are even in the sweepstakes now. 5 teams one spot and like 5 ganes left. Good luck pens maybe last years bad luck will turn around and the opposite happens

It’s very, very weird to see them being underdogs. I guess a couple years back vs the Rangers was the same thing, and they should’ve won that series, but this is definitely the most underdog I’ve seen them since before Sid could drink in the US.
