2-0 Penguins

And there go the wheels. The puck possession skill is night and day between these teams. We only have a punchers chance to beat them, and we just got tagged. Surprised at no time out

Well that sucks.

Gritty effort against a superior team.

Bottom line if we can't figure out this PP well...

Ballgame. Hello NCAA.

What an embarrassment after such a solid game.

Dam burst? Terrible. JJ gets caught but ZERO hustle by wingers to take his place

 

[pete goegan]

Even worse, half of the arena jumped to their feet cheering.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Damn they played pretty hard tonight too. Shame

 

[cbj21]

I hate the Pens so much

 

[FANonymous]

****ing Pittsburgh fans. Obnoxious in everything.

Skill + Effort > Effort

 

[Wendy Clear]

Brutal. But the bigger deal is the complete inability to put the puck in the net. 1 garbage goal? 2 goals? Shouldn't be game over instantly.

 

[blahblah]

nevermind

 

[Aspie with attitude]

Phily scores. 3-1

Yep.

We've made this game too easy for Fleury and their defense.

We never deserved to win this one. We're getting the result we deserve.

Well small victories i suppose

 

[Halfboard]

nevermind

that is far and away the best post I've ever read by you!.................

What the **** was that Johnson???? JJ had a clear chance to shoot the puck at the net - instead gives it away and a 2 on 1 ends up in our net. Yeah, that was the smart choice, wasn't it Jack?

Right! How could they avoid scoring on that last flurry, with three guys planted in front and none able to poke one through.

Le blegh.
Team has been in it most of game, but our O hasn't gotten much of worth on net. A few good throw at net and scrambles (which might get you 1 or 2 a game) but nothing dangerous from the point and not much in terms of rebound hunting. I don't feel we are out yet, but clock is definitely against.

JJ turns over, but I'm also concerned at lack of hustle from wingers to get back. That was a slow play and shouldn't have made a 2-1 out of it.

Michigan only up 1 with 10 seconds left. Tennessee ball. Wow I thought this was over in the 1st half.

It's been common the last two to three weeks. Unless this offense wakes up; we'll be on the outside looking in.

 

[pete goegan]

May not be out, yet, but they need one now.

 

[Aspie with attitude]

No chance in hell the Jackets score a goal on power play.
