That loss is on Boucher. Sullivan changed Fleury at the right time, and it changed the complexity of the game. Boucher didn't = game over. When I wrote that, I didn't know the result of the game yet. But
I knew it was going to cost the game.
What was wrong with Andy's glove tonight? Looked like he only had 1 arm...
1st Goal Against : Borowiecki turnover then get out of position. That goal is on him, however Anderson was slow to react and gave a huge five hole. Bit of a bad goal for a NHL goalie but Boro was mainly at fault.
2nd Goal Against : what was Karlsson doing? Not moving, weak poke check opening a 2 on 1 for the Pens with Crosby on the ice. Kelly was also soft and useless on that play. Not much that Anderson and Phaneuf could do. It was a stoppable shot but can'T blame Andy on that one.
3rd Goal Against : very soft by Turris, Phaneuf was caught flat footed and not fast enough to catch up Cullen who did a great play. Can't blame on that one but he was slow all game so it gave a huge opening for Cullen. TURNAROUND-POINT of the game
4th Goal Against : Andy no reason to give that up, even if deflected he had time to recover. It was just a weak wrister from distance. I honestly think I would have stopped that one. BACK-BREAKER goal. SHOULD HAVE CHANGED the goalie right there.
5th Goal Against : Not going to blame Andy on that one, it was a tough save but he shouldn't have been in nets... Again, his glove was not in position.
6th Goal Against : atrocious goal to give up, another back-breaker
7th Goal Against : penalty shot, a good shot by Rust, but Andy gave up the top of the net as he was slow again, like he has been all night. Not blaming him for this one though
Hard to win vs Pittsburgh with 3 softies. That PS was a bit BS too but the goal that hurt was the 3rd one, while on the PP. Really un-clutch play by Turris. Too soft on the puck!
==========================================
I must admit, I am tired of Kelly and Pyatt... IMO only 1 of these guys should play at the same time. They are getting owned Corsi wise, badly and they are the only ones on the team

Biggest problem tonight(outside of goaltending) is that the Pens were able to match up all they wanted against an uninspired bottom-6 and Boro...
Also I loled at the Brassard penalty, one of the worst calls I have ever seen, and that is saying a lot
Also, lol at the no call on Stone in the 1st and then in the 2nd period the no call on the head shot against Lazar by Dumoulin when Crosby tried that wrap-around. Refs tried to do make-up calls after that but the Pens were still getting away with so much.
Sucks that Hoffman hit the post when it was 6-5 Pittsburgh, could have tied the game just like that!
