Give me a break

whine whine whinwe-
an excerpt:
"If you give us a break, we'll play defense like they do and people will laugh at them," Talbot said. "It's not an excuse, but if we got a bounce this series could be different. In Philly we took the lead and against the Rangers we took the lead. Ask them how good we were defensively. It's tough to catch up when you're trailing all the time."

Pittsburgh, shut your collective yaps and start playing some damn hockey. You know why you're not getting any breaks? because you miss the net when it's wide open and you're getting SMOKED by Detroit's D while yours, and your goalie for that matter, rather resemble swiss cheese of the moment. Sorry to tell youse guys (as they say in PA), but you are NOT as good as the Wings! YOu may have some sick offence (that seems to have been rather absent thus fun in the series) but that's about it. Show me something else and then you can whine with a little bit of justification. And playing defense shouldn't be about getting "breaks".. you could be frustrated about hitting posts or missing nets, cuz that kind of stuff just tends to happen on the offensive side of thigns, but good D is good D and you DON'T HAVE IT RIGHT NOW!

And as for the crap about Osgood being a diver, save it. Keep in mind that he's tiny and when you get up in his grill, he tends to fall down. YOU'RE the one who got caught doing it so shut it. Don't screw with the goalies. Besides, you can't seem to score on him even when he's down. that must be a bit tough to swallow, eh?

I'm not impressed. I thought they would be better than this. But then again I was pretty sure they weren't up to Detroit's level. And the Pens didn't have to take on anyone as talented and DEEP as the Red Wings thus far in the playoffs either. So yeah. I hope they squeeze out a win or 2 just to keep things interesting, but at the same time I would love it if Detroit just mopped the floor with those whiners. THen maybe all those yokels at NHL.com would stop calling Pittsburgh the new Edmonton Dynasty. They haven't won a Stanley Cup yet, how in the world can they be a dynasty? I'm mystified.
