What is it now? 1 goal in 19 games? And, lest anyone forget, that 1 goal was that tap in where Malkin and Comeau did all the work and Kunitz won a race to tap the puck sitting right in front of the net with the goalie out of the crease.

Who will score a goal first Scuderi or Kunitz?

Now we wait for the updates on Sid and Geno.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

As an extra kick in the nether region - I benched Rask's shutout in my fantasy league.

What a mess of a late morning/early afternoon.

 

[Lomez]

Kunitz had his best game tonight but yes... missed a tap in goal. I'll give you that.

What!! C'mon now...

Pretty sure Geno was limping off after he left initially in the first. Could be wrong, but it looked like a limp to me.

Now we wait for the updates on Sid and Geno.

Shocked the horrible penguins social media accounts couldn't pump out some BS excuse in the time the entire game was going on.

 

[Waffle Fries]

What!! C'mon now...

He did. This was his best game in a long time. Which is sad.

 

[MeinerEiner]

I think the Pens were the better team but they couldn´t score. Bring on the Wings

 

[ColePens]

Pens start the game thinking Sid and Geno are going to play. In 1:29 both players are out.

Give the Pens some ****ing credit. That SHOULD have been a blow out. We actually took it to them and couldn't finish. Winnik off the post. Another post later in the game. A few great chances in deep. Kunitz tap in.

I mean seriously. Good hockey game. Be proud of what they brought.

That's a really, really scary statistic when you take into consideration the follow:

1) He plays with either one of the best centermen in the game

2) He plays close to 20 minutes per game

3) He plays on the top PP.

You don't need any kind of fancy analytics in order to see just how bad a player has become when those facts are looking you right in the face.

The most laughable part of the final minute was Martin's shot.
Juuuuuuustttt a bit outside there champ.

*Ahem*

"Day to day"

Now this I agree with.

 

[flaneur]

just checked the score board for the flyers/red wings game... what? the red wings let in 7 goals?

 

[66-30-33]

Hope tomorrow we don't get shutout, but we most likely will.

I kept Rask on mine. Lucky I guess.

Looked like right leg or knee to me.
Tweaked it.

 

[ColePens]

What!! C'mon now...

I'll just keep being right about all my hockey assessments and you can just challenge away. Just like people said I was crazy when I said our 08-09 team could win the Cup w/ the roster they had. Just like I said DB's change of the defensive system would haunt us.

I'll go with my assessment on this one.

 

[Darth Vitale]

One qualm. Chris Kunitz.

I was going to say. The guy is pretty much mojo-free at this point. I wasn't ready to jump on the band wagon earlier this year but he is not close to being the same player anymore. Maybe it's off-ice stuff / family stuff, maybe his body has just started to slow down after the type of game he's plaid all those years. But it's time to put a wrap on that chapter this summer. Him, Scuderi, Adams. Get them the F out of here. All non-essential remnants of "The Blysma Glory Years" need to be gone.

And I think it bounced off the ice before hitting the boards. It's like he shot it with an old broom.

As long as it's not a "tear" of anything then we're ok.

Just like the goals we scored, but didn't go in? Eh, Bylsma

They're gonna come at tomorrow's game hard then.

 

[Quatro Quatro]

The Bruins definitely aren't the big bad Bruins that they used to be. This game was really encouraging.

I'm with you. With Sid's mystery ailment and Geno getting injured on his first (?) shift, pretty easy to imagine this team just rolling over and getting destroyed. All things considered, this was a fine game.

Now, let's hope Sid and Geno don't miss significant time (we know they will).
