Brian Campbell had a horrible, HORRIBLE shift on the power play at the end of that period. Nothing worked for him at all: the back pass, holding the puck in the zone (twice!), nothing.

And it looks like my Dallas prediction is going to shit the bed if they don't step it up majorly. The only thing I got right is well-placed trust in Turco so far.
Turco is the fucking truth. I wonder how much he's paying those goalposts.
Damn, Turco couldn't hold on. That one just barely got away from him. So did the other one.
Welcome to the fourth of four amazing secound-round game 1's.
My take on NYR/PIT last night:
The Rangers played very loose defensively against a very good offensive team. 3 out of 5 of Pittsburgh's goals were deflections (2 off Rangers D's, 1 off of Malkin's knee) and aren't indicative of Lundqvist's play. It's frustrating to see him play so well and constantly be victimized by fluke goals (I mean, THROUGH Gomez's skate? C'mon). Truth be told, however, the Rangers didn't deserve to win. Every time I see Crosby falling down before contact is even made, I want to puke.
They definitely dive way too much. Officiating was better than usual (doesn't say much), but I still hate the generic interference call.
Without the lucky shots, it would be a 3-3 game. Still good hope for a favorable NYR outcome but blowing a 3-0 lead was not pretty.
If the Rangers can put the puck on Fluery like they did in the first period, he will crumble. They need to get 5 goals per game to take this series down.
Biron is playing like the second coming of Patrick Roy tonight.
Dyne, thats a great video. I love how he is arguing with Forsberg, but both of them know exactly what each other is doing. My favorite part in the video is when the Islander taps his glove, and he just drops like a sack of laundry.
there's another one in that set that makes fun of all the "phantom" sticks he gets hit with.
