that was a pretty boring game and not a lot of good stuff happened, but i'll take the win. nice showing by Megna.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

I can not remember the last time Crosby scored an empty net goal. Has to be a couple of years at least if not more. He can not have more than 4 or 5 in his career.

 

[MeticulouslyDishevel]

Now they're talking about spiced pumpkin lattes and where you can get them.

But it ties in with pumpkin t-shirt that Megna was forced to wear. It's completely relevant.

Megna and Maatta made it interesting.

IMO, the Pens played worse tonight than they did in the third against Toronto or the Isles.

 

[BB Gun]

Thanks for the memories, Megna...

 

[Darth Vitale]

Gerbe's the man.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

I would've put Geno out there instead of Kunitz.

3 Stars:

Megna
Martin
Crosby

Up 2 goals with your 2nd best player struggling to score.

You think that's enough to break up KCD?

 

[WayneSid9987]

Letang had a pretty solid 3rd game.
Lots of simple plays.

It's pretty frustrating because his main art ross and rocket richard competition always seem to get empty net goals. Ov and Stamkos get tons of those it feels like.

Doesn't much matter in terms of the ross though as Crosby will probably seal that up effortlessly with or without the empty net points. But he'll never win another rocket without getting some of those empty netters.

Dupuis with 2+ mins more TOI than Malkin.

that Dupuis signing just makes me wanna puke a bit in my mouth when put in context...

Did he?

Well, it was closer until the last 1:25

And the McDonalds sponsorship, except that it's from Starbucks, but oh wait, they both make spiced pumpkin lattes. Everyone makes them.

 

[AquaticBirdman]

Did he?

Here we go...

 

[WayneSid9987]

Did he?

Compared to his first 2 i'd say yes.

 

[KIRK]

Here we go...

Oh, o'k then.

 

[KIRK]

Compared to his first 2 i'd say yes.

Agree with that in terms of the actual plays. The reason I asked 'did he' is because the Pens may as well have been playing the little sisters of the poor tonight. It's tough to gauge anything from this, and to the degree that I do I think this effort/performance was every bit as bad if not worse than the last two.

 

[Muscles4Malkin]

Jayson "sweet hands" Megna



Hopefully we'll get to see more of #59 this season.

Well... that's a little better.... I guess...?

Still shouldn't be that close, but we know that won't change anytime soon.

Malkin really needs to be spotted more shifts with Sid right now. No excuse not to given the dearth of capable wingers right now.

 

[vodeni]

not to take away anything to breaking the losing streak, but this Carolina team one of the worst teams I've seen so far

Or a couple more double shifts. Eh, whatever.

 

[WayneSid9987]

I'd reward Megna and put him on Geno's RW Wednesday.
Cuz i know KCD won't be broken up.

It's weird to see how bad Jordan Staal is there. He looks completely lost. He was a force for us.

But I guess for us he was sheltered behind Sid and Geno.

 

[KIRK]

No, take away. You think we played better, worse, or the same compared to the last two?

IMO, if we'd played like this against Toronto, they'd have scored a half dozen or so.
