[66-30-33]

Number 11 Porter was pretty good tonight.

Supersprong

 

[KIRK]

The score may have said 2-0, but it wasn't that close. That's the impressive thing.

 

[Waffle Fries]

Better. This roster should be scoring more than 2 goals in a game. Scuderi not playing was awesome. Excited for Sprong to get his first goal. Second line looked great. Kunitz needs to be benched.

I'm going to the game Saturday, hopefully Sid gets going and Phil gets a hatty against his old team.

 

[Pancakes]

+ Pretty much everybody except for line 1


- Line 1


------------------------- Sid. He looks so bad right now. Like even scoring a point would be a huge feat for him. I'm scared of how bad he looks. This is the worst stretch of hockey I've ever seen him play.

Supersprong

******* incredible. And, you know what, I killed MJ as a bench boss, but he deserves monster props tonight for his handling of Sprong. Putting him out there in an impending EN situation because he EARNED it.

------------------------- Sid. He looks so bad right now. Like even scoring a point would be a huge feat for him. I'm scared of how bad he looks. This is the worst stretch of hockey I've ever seen him play.

And we have been watching for a while.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

+ Bonino
+ Sprong
+ Perron
+ Porter

+ The Defense
+ Rust Farnham Cullen

Good game all around. I thought Sid looked better this game than the last, still not great. Line 2, line 3 both good. Farnham may not be a good hockey player, but his jump helps the team I think. I like Bonino's a helluva lot more than Sutter.

 

[Mike Lange Version 2]

Finally won a game. Line 1 was ****ing awful

PCH
Plots-Malkin-Kessel

Let clendening play over Scuds

Come on MJ........not that hard

 

[billybudd]

Pens need to watch the Panthers and take notes from 68 on the man advantage. Just set up another goal

 

[DoktorZaius]

+ Geno
+ Perron
+ Sprong
+ Cullen
+Fleury

= Clendening -- played like a small + for me, but got hit twice by the refs on borderline calls.

--- Crosby - Arguably the worst game he's ever played. Just completely out of sorts.
- Kunitz - his normal level of putrid

 

[IcedCapp]

some of you guys really drive me bonkers.

Malkin's line finally looks dominant, LET'S BREAK IT UP.

Let's see what that line can do?

 

[Pancakes]

Farnham really isn't an NHL hockey player, much as I love his hustle and energy.

Plotnikov needs to play next game.

 

[Empoleon8771]

+Entire bottom-9
+Letang, Dumoulin, Cole
+/-Clendening, he had both good and bad tonight. Way better than Scuderi though
-Pens PP
-Crosby's line

 

[Coastal Kev]

Pens have 5 goals in 4 games. This is a big time issue either with the Pens or the league.

 

[Waffle Fries]

Good game all around. I thought Sid looked better this game than the last, still not great. Line 2, line 3 both good. Farnham may not be a good hockey player, but his jump helps the team I think. I like Bonino's a helluva lot more than Sutter.

First period was rough, but I thought he looked a lot better in the second and third, albeit incredibly snakebit.

 

[Jacob]

- 1st line

+ every other line

 

[Asuna]

Pens need to watch the Panthers and take notes from 68 on the man advantage. Just set up another goal

Yep. Nice goal

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Didn't watch the game, what lines did we use?

 

[Pancakes]

Agreed.

As far as Sid goes, I'd love to see Kunitz switched out with whoever but the way Sid is playing I don't think it matters who you put with him he's going to be bad.

Sid needs to fix Sid. Kessel ain't gonna do it. Kunitz ain't gonna do it. MJ ain't gonna do it.

 

[DoktorZaius]

Farnham really isn't an NHL hockey player, much as I love his hustle and energy.

Plotnikov needs to play next game.

Agreed on both counts. Porter was excellent (for his role) tonight, and Rust didn't catch my eye too often which is probably a good thing.

 

[billybudd]

I liked all 9 of the guys on the bottom 3 lines tonight. Kessel may as well have been playing 3 on 5 tonight.

Good to see Flower get rewarded. Was under siege in the first two

 

[Vinny Farham]

So who is the better player, Sprong or Kapanen ?
