Did that goal redirect off pesce? Don't feel like watching it again.

 

[VAcaniac]

Rongos are losing so naturally we will lose too..

 

[WreckingCrew]

Outshooting 24-13, losing 2-1...experience pain...I mean Canes hockey

Pesce block the damn puck versus turning. Sideways.

I think so

 

[Blueline Bomber]

It definitely went off Pesce's skate

 

[bleedgreen]

If it’s hard to tell in slo mo if it hit him it’s an impossible expectation to wish he had been two inches over or had played it differently.

 

[chaz4hockey]

Although outshooting Pitt greatly team has taken the night off physically.

Can’t blame pyotr on second goal. Drury lost the face off and Pesce played don’t hurt me puck. First goal I thought pyotr was too deep.

 

[dogbazinho]

Was it an icing? 4th line and Pesce take a defensive draw with a minute or two to go is not ideal.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Hockey is stupid.

It was Drury vs Crosby, so that wasn't ideal match up.

Pesce put himself into position before the shot came. He went sideways to block it if it comes his way and not be in motion which is what usually messes the goalie up. Which makes sense when you have time. If he’s squared up he’s more likely to screen the goalie. Sometimes it’s just bad luck.

I think he was also screened pretty well

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Need our 2nd line to do something this game. Because they haven't done anything but turn the puck over tonight.

I get it but it seems to me he half assed it and voila a goal against

 

[Blueline Bomber]

And it does suck for PK, because he really isn't to blame for either goal.

The first had a massive screen, and the the second changed direction off Pesce's skate.

 

[Derailed75]

Can the Canes please stand up, please stand up!

Well it’s essentially a close point shot on a perfectly executed play and Pesce is too far away to actually lay down and block it. It’s not his play. He’s just standing between the goalie and the shooter. If he moves around he’s just going to make it worse, and he can’t see behind him to even see where he needs to be. He goes sideways so he doesn’t have limbs in the way of the shot that the puck will deflect off him. Ironic that it did.

The guy on the wall let Rust go and the guy on the inside above Pesce let himself get picked and didn’t do anything to force the shot. That play worked way better than it should’ve. Pesce was in no mans land and at the same time exactly where he was supposed to be.

That was an uncontested face off win for them.
