Special team is special.

+ 2 points for Pens
- 0 points for Sid

------- Letang

Terrible game, again.

EDIT: It's sort of hilarious that with this kind of performance, Pens bring back 5 points out of the possible 6 from the Canada tour.

If Bort is getting suspended, so should Cammy for that crosscheck TO THE HEAD!

 

[Crozbar]

Fleury had a reasonably good game absent only one or two stupid plays?

 

[Common Sense]

I'm thrilled that we were able to hang on to the lead for once and barely beat this terrible team.

Gladams for Selke.

Ice time worked out in the end. Short bench, defenseman thrown out, and still Malkin and Neal manage to play a minute less than their usual two minutes less than they should be getting.

BTW, the only thing that could possibly be better than Letang playing 22:30 and Orpik playing 21:40 is both of them playing 24:00.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

I thought they couldn't play any worse than they did against Edmonton. They proved me wrong tonight.

Good thing Calgary's got the scoring talent of a team full of Craig Adams, otherwise that could have been another loss to a bad hockey club.

I do not anticipate the Pens arguing too much against a potential Bortz suspension. Engo could use a few games on D.

Well there's your problem

hmm?

they only gave up 1 goal

 

[Waffle Fries]

What a boring game. That's pretty much all I have to say.

-Steigerwald being a **** to Calgary and their fans the entire game, even with that post-game comment. Sorry Flames fans.

[wheelz87]

Awful game. 2 points though. Glass with an assist so all is good.

 

[66-30-33]

Oh man, to think Crosby could have had 6 points in these 2 games, instead he has 2...WTF WE JUST PLAYED OILERS AND FLAMES!!! It's called stat padding, *****es!

 

[IcedCapp]

+ to Fleury, who has been stellar for much of the year.

 

[vodeni]

boooring....

 

[Allie Kitsune]

We can't we make a bad team look bad and just bury them?

Oh, right, because we're bad too.

 

[Common Sense]

The cockiness on the post game makes me want to puke. Acting like we had a "great bounce-back game" and Steigy taking shots at Calgary.

We barely won, morons.

Kris Letang says 'wanna bet'.

huh?

are you reverse trolling?

I'm so confused.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Sill, Scuderi, and Nisky were great tonight. Other than that...yeesh.

Letang was a joke. Fleury made great saves but still had his trademark blunders that he was lucky didn't end up in the back of the net. Meadowlark Malkin never saw a chance for a drop pass he didn't like. Sid was a non-factor.

That's just a fart of a game.
