[YNWA14]

Always been really high on Smith. He's great and hopefully here for a long time.

A Pens fan and a frustrated Spezza fan. Got it.

i just wanted to do the troll vote

I see that "Andy going #Beastmode..." is leading. He played a solid game and did not let any in when we needed him most, but I don't think I would totally attribute the win to him. We played a good game, and when we did have a breakdown, Andy was there. The difference was, the Pens weren't playing with that offensive tenacity we are used to seeing them play with.

I'm used to seeing them just eat us alive 5 on 5. I'm going under the assumption that we won due to a combination of both us playing a sound defensive game and the Pens being out of any real defensive depth, with emphasis on the latter. Though I'm crossing my fingers that the boys are starting to figure things out and it is more the former.

The Bs game will be fun to watch.

I would credit tonight's win to mostly playing well in our own end. We got the puck out a lot quicker, and limited any rebounds, and second chances on Anderson. Although Anderson also had a good game, I think it was a much much better team defensive effort.

Anderson said it perfectly himself in his interview. The team allowed Anderson to see the puck. Anderson also said that they were good at clearing out the rebounds so that all Anderson had to do was make the first save.

Andy made a few huge saves early on. With the fragile confidence of the team right now, if one or two of those had gone in it would have been an entirely different game. I see Andy in Beastmode as being the main reason we won.

Agreed. Great bottom 6er. A player people dont wanna play against.

That wasn't beastmode. Making 27 saves is not beastmode...that's expected performance mode for any nhl goalie today.

stopping 27 of 27 is in fact beast mode

Dude had to stop four breakaways today and Crosby point blank twice. That's beastmode.

Sorry, I did not realize shutting out the Pens, who were on a 7 game winning streak, and stopping several breakaways and a few great in close chances, was not #beastmode. Next time I want to use that hashtag I'll run it past you first.

 

[albator71]

Never thought we would beat the Pens that easily, now could we please get on a roll here and get some consecutive wins!!! Let's try to recapture last season mojo we had, I know this team is better than what they have shown us this season.

 

[albator71]

We still beat a team that had won their last seven games, so let's give the Sens some credit here, they played their best game of the season last night.

I said it earlier, he had a good game, a few good saves on breakaways, glove saves etc. But this is false...

I see Andy in Beastmode as being the main reason we won.

We won because everyone helped andy.

Yes, Smith has come a long way since we drafted him.

Tonight was a replay of what happened last season. Spezza does nothing, Ottawa wins. Please make Mark the Captain. At least he takes the season seriously. Trade please.

I watched the game on delay, so I just finished, and am nodding off.....but I could have sworn that Spezza made a defensive poke check that may have saved Anderson's shut out.

Ottawa is funny. They either beat, or take top level teams into overtime and lose. They look completely deflated against teams they should beat.

I was very happy for Anderson. The shut out was a nice feel good moment.

By the time the third goal happened, it looked like Pittsburgh had already conceded and were just trying to get out of the game without injuries......but I think Ottawa running up the score gave them a bit of motivation to try and snap the shutout.

Sorry totally missed the gdt but did any good gifs come out of it???

Impossible. Spezza is deadweight and probably the worst centre in the league. He had literally no hand in the win tonight. He's a terrible leader and the team follows him all the time when they are sucking, except when they don't and they're not sucking.

Yeah people have been very hard on Andy this year despite all he's done since coming to Ottawa. It just says a lot about the fanbase.

Yeah, wtf are those idiots doing out there helping their netminder? The horror!


To be completely honest, I think the biggest factor in the game is the Penguins simply didn't show up to play. For whatever reason, they had a terrible game...almost shades of that Chicago-Toronto game a week ago.

But, sometimes a team gets lucky and gets to play an opponent that does a no-show. It's still a win, and a shutout. It's still something good to build on and gain a bit of confidence....as long as people don't go overboard.

You mean they've been hard on Anderson like some have been hard on Spezza?

Perfect hip check. Need to see more of those in the game.

Does anyone have the gif from the other angle?
