What calls did they miss?
There were a bunch of calls the refs didn't give us.

Like or dislike. 3 GA on 25 shots is brutal. No matter what your name is.
Twitter seems to exist for 2 reasons :
1) as a platform for dumb people to relate unimportant details about their lives to the general public. Or to just generally expose their idiocy to others.
2) to provide completely unreliable, unsourced news to the public minutely quicker than they could otherwise have received reliable news from a credible source.

Twitter, like Facebook or the internet in general, is a communications medium. It's just a tool. How people use it is up to them. It's just elementary network effects - that is, the content you are exposed to is representative of the content you choose to be exposed to. If your twitter or Facebook networks provide you only with uninteresting or unimportant content, then it is a reflection of your own network decisions. To criticize the technology is like criticizing the telephone because people spend hours on the phone having mundane and unimportant discussions. The difference is that modern social media is more public than traditional networks, but there are upsides to that such that it serves a different purpose in people's lives.
You're making the mistake of equating the content with the technology.

Twitter has no redeeming qualities whatsoever as far as I can see. Pure trash.

As the Pens fan above just noted, Pittsburgh is a tough team to dominate territory and possession against, especially at home, and the fact that we were able to do that is a very good sign.
#ourteamourway
Exactly. This team has really started to put Tortorella's system to work and the results have to be considered encouraging. The team seems to get better with each passing game and it bodes well for a club that seemingly plays their best hockey from December onward.
Another encouraging sign from today's game is the play of Zach Kassian. IMO he's gotten better with each game this season and this is all you can ask from a 22 year old player.
I hear people say Chris Tanev is overrated and cannot for the life of me wrap my head around it. His development has been truly remarkable and the guy just never seems to have a bad night, let alone a poor shift. Not nervous at all having him out on the ice matched up against Malkin...
Drop the Sopel said:I want to feel the Booth love like many others but I just can't. I honestly can't remember the last time he shot a puck past an opposing goaltender. It's probably been 30 plus games since this has happened. Considering he can't make plays with the puck and doesn't fill a defensive role, that's a problem.
Does anyone remember the last time David Booth shot the puck past a goalie?
Drives me nuts how parts of this board are over luo for the suspect third goal, sure it wasnt the best goal but good goaltenders let in goals like that all over the league. Watch highlights tonight and use the same measuring stick on all goalies as you do for lou.
Sorry... late to the party. I just caught wind of this.
Disgusting really.
Botchford actually accuses Horvat for "cheering for the Pens"?
I would love to see Tortorella tear him a new one next presser. He'd accomplish three things...sticking up for a player/top prospect in his organization, illustrate why he hates twitter so much and to serve notice to Botchford that he is now officially the new Larry brooks in this town.
Agreed with all of this.
April 7, 2012 against Edmonton. And to be fair, it was a beauty :
So it's been 26 games without beating a goalie since then.
Worth noting that the above goal also ended a 10-game goalless drought, so in his last 37 games he's an atrocious 3-4-7, with one of those goals being an empty-netter.
I thought the Canucks played a strong game today against a very tough team. We had answers for just about everything the Pens threw at us. The one big exception was the transition game.
I felt like Kesler had a had in the 1st and 3rd goals that the Pens got. He made desperate attempts to keep the puck in the offensive zone both times when it was clear that the Pens were going to get it and gave up clean 3 on 2 rushes the other way in the process leading directly to goals. Against the likes of Crosby and Malkin giving up 3 on 2 rushes when you lose possession cannot be part of the game plan.
I don't mind using Kesler on Henrik's wing when there is another grinding player out there, like Higgins, but I don't like him out there with Daniel and Henrik. I feel that Henrik can play a grinding game alright and if his wingers have a nose for the net the line gets some good chances. When the two Sedins are together the game is at a different pace and Kesler doesn't seem to compliment them any better than a Higgins or Hansen does.
I thought Lou had a strong game as well. He gave up some rebounds but they came off quality chances that were not easy to read. They were from scrambles coming from plays on the rush, or off trailers that Crosby was setting up when there were other options that Lou had to respect. He stoned Sutter cold on that Penalty shot. People that are complaining about our goaltending in this game are just making themselves look foolish, imo.

And how many of those games were games he left partway through due to injury, or played limited minutes in a return from injury? And why does an empty netter count less now?
Drop the Sopel]Ah, thanks.
Booth is being paid to do little other than score goals and he's shot the puck past an opposing goaltender once in his last 36 games. Say what you want about his awful vision and passing ability, he needs to start finding a way to get off some quality shots.

No Letang or Neal and we still can't beat them, it's great we're beating bad teams like the Oilers, NJ, Flyers, Sabres but what playoff team have we beaten this season?
