[Scandale du Jour]

Crosby is so good tonight

He is playing a much smarter game than he had been so far this year. Good old Sid.

Hopefully he plays like that for the remainder of the season.

 

[Fordy]

I haven't been impressed with Bennett's game at all today.

well he was only the best player on his line all night so

 

[Ogrezilla]

Who knows we might be surprised

I think there's about as much a chance that he's traded as there is for him to start playing better. That is, I don't really expect either but neither would shock me either.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

again, we only have what jr said. which is that he would watch the next 2-3 games closely

That doesn't mean that 1 good game will change his mind if he thinks something needs to be changed.

Step away from the ledge.

 

[Hank Plank]

So was Sid fighting the catalyst, or is this game a one off fluke.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

I may be speaking too soon, but from memory this may be the first time since October that the Pens had more PP opportunities than the other team. I can not be off by more than a game.

 

[KIRK]

by Shero. We have no idea what JR will do.

No. My point actually is that I hope he takes the opportunity to build on this and doesn't say 'all is well'. And you?

 

[penguins2946*]

More like "vintage Pens" blown dzone coverage that leaves a player wide open in front of the net for a layup.

That goal squeaked right through his 5-hole. He's had a fantastic game, but that was still a terrible goal.

 

[Ogrezilla]

again, we only have what jr said. which is that he would watch the next 2-3 games closely

right. so he may be watching this game and seeing that Kunitz off of Sid's line has been a huge positive. He said he'd be watching the games closely, not checking the box score the following morning.

 

[Fordy]

That doesn't mean that 1 good game will change his mind if he thinks something needs to be changed.

Step away from the ledge.

the straw men are pointless, we've both been posting here all game, i'm clearly not at the ledge

you can have your wishful thinking, i'm very impressed that you are able to assume the best outcome after watching this team for the last six years

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Kings' unis are legen-dary.

 

[HuskerTornado]

So was Sid fighting the catalyst, or is this game a one off fluke.

Enjoy this for what it is right now. Tune in tomorrow.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Bennett will never have good games consistently with Spaling and Sutter. It's just not going to happen. His skills are useless on that line.

 

[Fordy]

right. so he may be watching this game and seeing that Kunitz off of Sid's line has been a huge positive. He said he'd be watching the games closely, not checking the box score the following morning.

that'd be amazing. yet the team's decisions about kunitz regularly defy all logic

 

[Rocket of Russia]

There is Greiss's trademarked weak 3rd period goal

C'mon that guy couldn't have been more wide open in tight. Nothing weak about that goal from Greiss' perspective.

 

[canadianguy77]

Lapierre calling for the puck and Craig says no.

 

[pensfan71]

why isAdams still on the ice...

 

[Ogrezilla]

No. My point actually is that I hope he takes the opportunity to build on this and doesn't say 'all is well'. And you?

we agree. The biggest takeaway he should see here is that Sid absolutely does not need to play with Kunitz.

 

[Sh00terMcGavin]

lol it was all an illusion....

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

lolz

 

[pensfan71]

well ****

 

[ColePens]

Pens stopped playing hard after this powerplay delay. ********. They need to finish strong.

 

[Common Sense]

Oh god. Can we please hang on for 1:22?

 

[penguins2946*]

C'mon that guy couldn't have been more wide open in tight. Nothing weak about that goal from Greiss' perspective.

It was weak because it was a really weak shot that went 5 hole on him. Don't get me wrong, Greiss has had a fantastic game today, and that goal doesn't change anything. Still, that was a weak goal.

4-2 now. Pls don't collapse.

Sad. Such a waste of talent.
