Post-Game Talk: Pens 3, Panthers 2 (OT) - Kunitz Saves The Day

[KIRK]

Letang finally sets Geno up perfectly for a one timer, and Geno scores.

In unrelated news, hell just froze over.

The Pirates win their 3rd in a row! Way to go, Pirates!

I thought that's what he said! Hahaha

The Pirates win their 3rd in a row! Way to go, Pirates!

Malkin's 3rd HR of the year

 

[IcedCapp]

Malkin finished with more TOI than Kunitz

[clefty]

Perron. Go away.

 

[Ugene Magic]

It's going.....going.....Gone!

Walk off.

 

[KIRK]

The Pirates win their 3rd in a row! Way to go, Pirates!

I liked Kunitz's effort sliding in(to) third.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

3 points for Crosby. So happy for him.

 

[madinsomniac]

So how many almost goals did Kunitz score again? He is still leading the NHL there right?

 

[Beauner]

Malkin and Crosby looked like their old selves.

Kunitz is hot garbage. Scuderi I didn't really notice, which for him is a supreme compliment.

if Brian Dumoulin keeps this up he'll be a legit second pairing guy by the end of the year.

 

[canadianguy77]

Still waiting for the top 5 to gain some chemistry. I thought the 4th line did a really god job out there. Fleury was solid.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Kunitz with a killer screen on that Crosby goal.

 

[flaneur]

apparently the pirates are still playing?

+ crosby was really on tonight
+ malkin
+ fleury

 

[KIRK]

Malkin finished with more TOI than Kunitz

#SmallSteps

But 1:30 less at even strength

[KIRK]

Kunitz with a killer screen on that Crosby goal.

He was just as useful on Malkin's goal.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Crosby freak out temporarily on hold.

++ Crosby
+ Other high end talent
+ No points for Kunitz
+ The board was surprisingly good about not going on about wanting Jagr back
+ There's no way Kunitz survives this workload

- Kunitz
- PP1 scoring with Kunitz out there
- Kunitz causing Phil pain, he will pay
- Scuderi
- Johnston
- Refs in general continue to be bad

[Scandale du Jour]

Is it me or Sid decided to play his way instead of following the script. Less time wasted chasing pucks, much more effective on the rush and he shot pucks as if it was 2010.

 

[IcedCapp]

Phil's worst game as a Pen by a mile. Dude couldn't handle the puck, OR THE TRUTH.

But he's still working his ass off, which is good.

 

[The Greatest 101]

- James Neal scored.

 

[Wes Mantooth]

The Pirates win their 3rd in a row! Way to go, Pirates!

Raise it!

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

Baby steps for the offense/Power Play, but a couple of tweaks and it could be deadly.

Bonino was missing BB/Sprong in a big way tonight

 

[KIRK]

BTW, that euphoria about L2 from the Ottawa game. Bury it. Perron is back to playing keep away from Malkin in the offensive zone and doing god only knows what defensively.

There were chances again for L1, but when you're playing short handed at even strength, it's hard to bury more than a random one.

 

[IcedCapp]

Maybe try something like this:

Perron - Crosby - Kessel
KUNITZ - Malkin - Hornqvist

see if we can REALLY get Malkin going.
