[HuskerTornado]

Who is this team possessing the puck?

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

pens playin great

 

[bradshaw06]

looks like we're getting to our game.

 

[Stad]

Taking over the period now.

 

[Pick87your71Poison]

We'll pens came out shooting for once which is refreshing, love us getting pucks to the net.

Great job by beau covering for maatta and tang there, does he get credit for that?

 

[Bengui]

Great looking period... keep it up !

 

[Sh00terMcGavin]

Bennett - Sutter - Dupuis.

This would be an awesome 3rd line if we had another top 6 winger. As it stands, I want Beau on that 1st line.

 

[vodeni]

I cannot watch this anymore, something's wrong with their effort, skating, agressivness they just don't look like the same

 

[CrozJawz*]

Ovechkin big hit on Orpik. Expecting some free candy next time.

More like Orpik will take himself way out of position to try to make the hit and Ovie will walk right by him and score...

 

[End of Line]

Insane zone time there. Great puck possession.

 

[MrBurghundy]

I haven't seen the Pens possess the puck like this for a while.

 

[TonsofPuppies*]

Leafs fan, coming in peace. nhl.com says Martin's goal was unassisted. How?

Yep, the coaches will pat him on the back as he sits on the bench for the next 10 minutes

 

[lornloxor]

Pretty solid pressure there.

 

[KIRK]

Orpik OWNED by Ovie at the blueline...

Physical d-man

 

[IcedCapp]

Leafs fan, coming in peace. nhl.com says Martin's goal was unassisted. How?

They refuse to give assists on a goal that soff

 

[Pick87your71Poison]

In a perfect world that Sutter, Dupuis, Bennett combo would be our third.line.

That would be nasty, but still think we are just 1 forward away with juice on that 3rd for beau, still think that would make all 3 lines legit and set up well for their roles

 

[eXile59]

I love that we finally using our defense men on offense. It seems like they've been hanging so far back(excluding 58 of course) this season but tonight they look very active.

Credit from me for sure, saved a goal with Grabo and whoever else was coming up

 

[IcedCapp]

Jokinen Malkin Neal.

Lines are back to normal. **** beau bennett

 

[Pancakes]

I'm....liking Bylsma's tactical decisions. Getting Sid/Geno together for a shift lead to a goal, and Bennett has also had a shift with Crosby.

I hope Bylsma continues to actually keep the combinations mixed up instead of just rigidly sticking to what wasn't working. I swear he's the opposite of Therrien in that regard. Therrien was the mad scientist and would never give lines time to gel, which lead to awkward chemistry. Bylsma will keep lines together forever but sometimes that's not good either, especially when a line combination isnt working like KCD wasn't.

 

[Sivek]

see, being benched last game resulted in Bennett getting back on defense that last shift

db, the master motivator does it again

Bennett - Sutter - Dupuis.

This would be an awesome 3rd line if we had another top 6 winger. As it stands, I want Beau on that 1st line.

Kunitz-Crosby-Adams
Jokinen-Malkin-Neal
Bennett-Sutter-Dupuis

Pretty easy...and obvious.

 

[KIRK]

So lets be honest, the first line is KCMalkin, Bennett is a 4th line player in minutes

Yes. It was inevitable. On the other hand, at least he's not defaulting back to KCD.

I'd give Pihl Kessel's good nut to see it be Neal, not Kunitz there, just once.

 

[Waffle Fries]

Leafs fan, coming in peace. nhl.com says Martin's goal was unassisted. How?

It's not. Sid assisted. They just haven't updated it. During the Devils game it took over a period for Kunitz's goal to even show up.
