What stood out for me on the positive side was the amount of room Lucic creates in front of net. Seems opposing D just look down or skate away and have to believe that helps when battling for loose pucks.
Speaking of battling for loose pucks, saw both Erickson and Soderberg doing exactly that (Soderberg looked more like a bull coming into the crease one time).
Contrast that with the B's nwt when McQuaid is out there....I really like what he brings to the team. He will get nasty and protect our cage (I think it was B. Morrow the previous game he dealt with in typical McQuaid fashion).
What stood out from a negative side was the lack of killer instinct. Backup goalie, no Crosby, no Malkin. I was thinking of an analogy such as the Pats not having Brady and Gronkowski and their primary kicker couldn't be used.
Maybe I am not giving Pens enough credit and they pulled together with all of the adversity they faced to make a game out of it.
I also have to remember that the B's didn't have their #1 center either.
Most important thing is that got 2 points and now look forward to tonight.
