This was the best November regular season game I've ever seen. I'm shaking right now.

+ This team wins in spite of Chris Kunitz's efforts.

Me too. What emotion. If we could just shed that 7.5M abortion called Sid's wingers this game . . .

EDIT: LOL, they announced the three stars right after the shootout was 'over', but before it was really over.

 

[Beau Knows]

+Geno
+Sid
-Sid still not scoring and doing the same **** as always on breakaways
-PP needs to start scoring again
+Martin
+Ehrhoff was good
+Fleury was good

 

[M0NTY26]

Hahahaha, imagine the fans that left because they thought the Rangers won. They'll hear on the news Penguins win 3-2 in the SO, and they'll think the broadcasters are wrong.

 

[Zen Arcade]

I don't even know what just happened.

 

[vodeni]

ups and downs but what a great entertaining game,

 

[dr robbie]

that was a crazy awesome game.

EDIT: Special props to Geno for making Tocchet leave the bench to change his pants during the third.

Anyone else see the Amish couple behind the boards showing ZERO emotion during the celebration. Made me LOL for a good bit.

 

[Zbynek]

What in the hell...I turned off the game after Boyle's goal...what a game!

+ This team wins in spite of Chris Kunitz's efforts.

I guess it was impossible that I was the only one who saw that. Perhaps the poorest effort (if you can call it that) on Kunitz's part I've seen yet.

I turned my TV off. I was so confused at this thread...

 

[WayneSid9987]

Pretty spirited effort.
What a hit by Geno. Big minus to the refs on that play. 4on4? WUT?

Hopefully Sid can gain a mental edge on Lundqvist with finally burying one glove side a foot off the ice. Lundqvist will be thinking next time.

Big huge fat minus to Kunitz. This guy doesn't even belong in the top 6 with the way he's playing.

MAF was flopping all over the place tonight. Just stop pucks please.

Nutty shootout.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

Say what you want about this team's problems but I've enjoyed watching them more in the last 5 weeks than I have in the last several years.

 

[Gumbercules]

This was the best November regular season game I've ever seen. I'm shaking right now.

That Pens/Bruins game a few years back when Billy G scored with half a second left is the only challenger I can think of.

 

[terex]

-Fleury repeatedly throwing his stick
-Scuds out there for the 3 on 3
-Adams had a brutal giveaway in the third that led to extended offensive pressure in the o zone and killed momentum

+Spaling and Comeau both had some nice, strong shifts
+ Malkin and Crosby played possessed
-Crosby and Letang and their breakaways

 

[systemsgo]

++ Jerseys!!!
+ Geno and Sid and Sutter and Martin and Ehrhoff and Letang

Nutty shootout.

Got to say it: When you've got a 3 on 3, call a timeout if need be to send Sid and Geno out. And, if you're not going to do that, then for the love of all that is holy, don't send out Scuderi.

I think you're insulting players who earn a 5 MINUS grade by comparing them to whatever the **** it was that Kunitz was doing tonight. Just once, I'd like to see a coach have the balls to make an example of him (or Dupuis).

This. The Penguins are entertaining again, and this time not from the perspective of the opponents.
