GDT: ECSF Game 1|One More Time|Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Ottawa Senators|5.14.13|19:30 EDT

[BB Gun]

Grind - grind - grind - then PP comes up with the goods.

Will do me.

 

[IcedCapp]

Okay seriously he was great in the 1st but what in the actual **** is up with Sid? He's not engaged at all

 

[Shrimper]

Okay period. Keep it tight and we've got this.

 

[Rocket of Russia]

Great hit, orpik. Great cross ice pass in pressure by Sid.

On a Debby downer note Iginla is having trouble sticking on his points in his own zone. He'll still get a fumbling assist on that goal.

 

[BHD]

And then a Wings fan claimed Orpik left his feet. lol

 

[CrozJawz*]

I really wish they could go up by 3 or 4 and then start taking runs at Neil. Send the message often that his bull**** will not be tolerated.

 

[td_ice]

And then a Wings fan claimed Orpik left his feet. lol

Haha....well they would be the experts on that.

 

[turd]

Crosby needs to start winning some face-offs out there. He's only won 6 of the 17 he's taken.

 

[NastyNick]

Ottawa generating from the faceoffs.. just clean that up and we should be fine. Don't see a whole lot else from their team right now that has me worried. Very suspect defensively. Far worse then the Islanders.. although goaltender is better.

Maybe go with Jokinen at some point for extra support if these guys don't get it done.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

And then a Wings fan claimed Orpik left his feet. lol

He did when he fell down, sure.

 

[Ray Shero*]

man, Anderson had that and he knocked it into his own goal. i know he was on top of it the whole time, but still. that's very Fleury-esque.

Yup, also another close one ruined by EK.

 

[PensBandwagonerNo272*]

Defensive hockey. In the playoffs. Finally.

 

[RazorRamon12]

fine for the crowd, but also used by commentators...

Yeah. I can see how that can be an annoyance to hear the wrong thing said by professionals.

 

[vodeni]

And then a Wings fan claimed Orpik left his feet. lol

of course he left his feet he got knocked out too

 

[heretik27]

Great hit, orpik. Great cross ice pass in pressure by Sid.

On a Debby's downer note Iginla is having trouble sticking on his points in his own zone. He'll still get a fumbling assist on that goal.

Maybe they could make up their mind and play him on the same wing for more than 2 shifts.

 

[CrozJawz*]

Okay seriously he was great in the 1st but what in the actual **** is up with Sid? He's not engaged at all

He is having concussion symptoms after that hit when he was driving the zone...

Oh, and his jaw fell off.

 

[Fordy]

Two periods into the season and the main board is already melting down.

 

[Lemieuxfan]

We really look great tonight..I know it is still early in the series, but I could see us winning it 4:0.

 

[Fordy]

Series that is.

 

[pensfan71]

What is up with Sid...

 

[vodeni]

Crosby needs to start winning some face-offs out there. He's only won 6 of the 17 he's taken.

he can't see through that cage

 

[RazorRamon12]

Kunitz/Vokoun. really it's either one.

My friend and I have a suspicion that Kunitz and Vokoun argue about who is the primary and secondary Koon on the team, esp. with Vokoun's recent starts. "There can only be one...." Koonlander...

 

[Jag68Sid87]

Vokoun looked better that period. Territorially we're getting owned again and in a completely different manner. It's not speed this time, it's a total team system we're up against. They have so much faith in their system they used Zack Smith against Malkin all period, and Jean-Gabriel Pageau often against Sid.

As long as Vokoun remains solid and we keep burying what few chances we have, we'll be fine. But eventually, we simply must find a way to gain a territorial advantage against SOMEBODY.

 

[Shockmaster]

Main board crying about the penalty. Obviously, the Penguins can't draw penalties by out-working the opposition, they only draw penalties from the fact they are Bettman's team.
