Go! Go!

(Don't have a great feeling about this one, but I could be wrong, and I usually am.)

Go Go

Go! Go!

Yeah, want to see them finally start to break out of their recent funk.

The VGK have been playing better on the road, and the Pens have (similarly) been playing worse at home. Be nice to get another 2 points and at worse make this road-trip a 50% affair. The Wings are bad, but occasionally rise up and smite somebody at home, and suffice it to say we shouldn't even be penciling in a Bruins win.

 

[hangman005]

A PK already.... do a shorty.

 

[hangman005]

Killed.

 

[IceNeophyte]

Close to that shorty

 

[hangman005]

JACKPOT!!!!!!!!!

 

[VivaLasVegas]

The guy who looks like he was in a gnarly bar fight scores!

Okay, now if we can just camp on this lead for the next 55 minutes were good!

 

[IceNeophyte]

Jackpot

Inability to clear the D Zone continues to haunt.

 

[IceNeophyte]

Every time Marchy passes I remember why he is shoot first.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Jackpot

Inability to clear the D Zone continues to haunt.

FWIW, it seems like they try to retain possession and move the puck too much in heavy traffic, when sometimes they should just swipe it to the other end and regroup. They get into trouble trying to move it and turning it back over, and by that time everybody is out of defensive position.

 

[hangman005]

Need to get some sustained pressure.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Need to get some sustained pressure.

Or we can hang back until the Pens heat up. I'll go with that one.

Smelling salt, stat.

 

[hangman005]

Thankfully LT is ok....

 

[hangman005]

Commentators going on about how smart McNabb is, Cameraman finds an angle that makes him look like he's from dumb and dumber.

 

[hangman005]

PP Time, do a PP goal.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Roy! [Or Waugh!]

 

[hangman005]

RIELEY!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Roy! [Or Waugh!]

Or Smith!

 

[hangman005]

2-0 after one..... can we do it twice in a row

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Of course.

 

[hangman005]

Maybe we should have started the 2nd.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Geeeez.

Can we please spend some quality time in the offensive zone?

 

[hangman005]

So the game plan was to spend the entire period hemmed in our own zone?

Also full credit to the Pens forecheck.
