Uh oh! Are we supposed to rip on Hofer now? Or not really?

not really as I have admitted that my issues with him are more personal but I do worry that what I see that annoys me may actually be a future problem

Good times in Pittsburgh ... the video clip someone took in this story is worth the watch

The Full Story: Idiot Takes Puck From Boy, Penguins Fans Go Nuts

There was side drama to the Pittsburgh Penguins’ 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning Sunday evening. Many fans at PPG Paints Arena and those watching on screens large and small were left to wonder what in the world was happening as a larger corner of the arena was going bonkers and chanted...

He had a few clunkers in December that contributed to him losing 6 of 7 starts, but he's been excellent since the Winter Classic. All in all, he's let in a few more back breaker late softies than I'd like (or expect out of him) and he's been a touch more hot/cold than I'd like. I'd like him to have a better 2nd half than 1st half and I think that is a reasonable expectation given his contract and past track record.

But right now is a very weird time to criticize. He was no less than our 2nd best player last night in a 2-1 victory and he's been above average in 4 of his last 5 starts.

Not saying you're complaining or bitching but just wanted to add to your post.

For those bitching just remember it can always be worse.

Sabres doing Sabres things last night (fun thread on the mains about it).

Becoming the first team known to play a full 20 minute period without recording a shot on goal, yet still getting credited with a goal in that period (due to it being automatically awarded when a Canes player slashed and broke the stick of a Sabres player who had a clear path to an ENG).

They managed to win the game too - a very un-Sabres thing to do.

The two other times in recorded NHL history that a goal was scored without a SOG in a period happened in overtime.
