It´s a plus for their effort

It was really a collective effort, and being down a forward right off the bat makes it even sweeter.

 

[BrokenStick]

+ The effort was there tonight. They were constantly fighting through the return of 90s obstruction hockey.

- The return of 90s obstruction hockey.

+ The save. Flower all around had a good night.

+ Rolli Polli Olli. Love that guy.

+ Sutter & Glass. Both were flying out there tonight.

- Kunitz. Did he play tonight?

+ Anderson's head. Impressively intentionally making saves with it.

+ Just a fun game to watch. Period.

 

[Waffle Fries]

Good effort by most, I thought. Fleury was incredible. We just needed to bury our chances. I'm glad Neal finally scored.

 

[chethejet]

same set of guys for plus and minus. Groundhog day. 82 of these. The only time the team played with passion is when the WB team was pea pod to Pittsburgh. This team is coasting for the playoffs and they are placing a lot of emphasis on turning it up for then. At lease I would like to think that is the case.

 

[SidGenoMario]

Good, hart fought gritty victory. All the people worried about meaningless regular season losses in January need to be reminded by this victory. This team is still top in the east. Everything is alright in Bylsmaland.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Sid had a good game with not much in the score column to show for it. His linemates were... unhelpful.

Geno/Neal probably deserved to be in on the winner. Their line was the most consistently dangerous the Penguins had all night.

Decent game from Sutter.

Love Olli Maatta. I can't fault him much for the first goal.

But man... that save by Fleury. Like I said in the GDT... I'm at least glad they made it mean something. Would have been a shame if they lost after he helped keep them in it with efforts like that.

Other than that... pretty awful game to watch, truthfully. Gotta love the win, though.

 

[Ugene Magic]

+ Winning
+ Hating Karlsson

Can't hate Karlsson, he's one helluva talent. Neil is another matter.

 

[KIRK]

Maybe the 2nd greatest in Pens history (only because of the moment)
