who had this one going 2-2?

Looks like the Pens goalie took an advanced class in sucking... 10 goals allowed in 2 games?

I had Pens in 5, I hope Islanders take this series so bad.

Bylsma has Vokoun slated to start in Game 5. Not surprising but interesting that it's already been decided this far in advance.

It would be awesome if the blues had a guy who could do this every once in awhile.

Horrible goaltending. He is backed up against the post before Crosby even thinks about shooting. How about being on top of the crease to take away the angles. It would be nice if a Blues player could do that just don't expect Quick to be sitting on his post like that ever.

haha, true. I didn't even look at the positioning of the goalie. What the hell was he doing?

I thought Mario Lemieux's number was 66?

Funny thing about this play, right before it happened Tavares split the Pens D in similar fashion - stick-handling between them - and generates the small breakaway scoring chance. The difference - Vokoun's skates are not even in the crease. He was way out top challenging Tavares and the shot went off Vokoun's shoulder. If Vokoun is in the same position as the Isle's netminder, Tavares would have scored top shelf if he had taken the same shot. Goaltending matters - like we all know and are seeing every damn game.
