GDT: GM#57 LA Kings vs Pittsburgh Penguins @4:00

[Sol]

Pittsburgh has the puck at their red line with a forward near our blue line.

Talk about pond hockey strategy

 

[damacles1156]

Well Dion at least is a lot more calm then a younger player.

 

[Sol]

Wow that gum commercial for highschool.. The actors were like 30 lol

 

[bob77]

Pens cherry picking is all about whipping, floating high, chipping puck out into far up center ice and challenging the D trying to handle the 50-50 bouncing puck, and fill the race up the ice with extra guys.

 

[bob77]

Ouch Folin

 

[damacles1156]

Folin buddy, you can't let Crosby do that.

 

[Cook24]

I like Phaneufs first passes so far

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The two F's on the blueline sure like to F things up.

Looks like Sullivan mixes lines a lot and throws his top guys out in offensive situations often. Moved Kessel up with Malkin for an offensive zone shift earlier. And then Crosby with the 4th line there.

 

[Sol]

What's with our defenseman leaving the front of the net open

 

[bob77]

Pens are like watching college basketball years ago when everything was a controlled half court game for the longest time, and all of a sudden there were the UNLV Running Rebels!! Changed everything

 

[damacles1156]

Hehe even the Pitt PBP guys. "Pretty good sell there".

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

What's with our defenseman leaving the front of the net open

They are paying homage to the escort defense that was known for giving open access to opposing attackers.

 

[bob77]

I dread the long line change second period coming. The Kings really get hemmed in by teams like this

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Very entertaining period. Just have to watch their cherry picking.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Not a bad period.

Wow. Didn't know our players were that respectful.

 

[damacles1156]

Kings didn't get scored on in the first period that's a win.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Great news is that they're not down 3-0 after the first period, and Quick has looked great thus far.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Can't really ask for a much better first than that given the Pens are flying lately and in search of their 10th straight W at home.

Considering no Carter no Lewis, look good playing heads up.

 

[bob77]

Very entertaining period. Just have to watch their cherry picking.

Need 3 guys back

Crosby has been double-shifted that way his entire career pretty much

 

[damacles1156]

Pitt PBP guys like the Kings "Kings a lot faster team this year, they look good".

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Wow. Didn't know our players were that respectful.

It truly is.

 

[Herby]

Not a bad period.

Not exactly the adjective I would have used.
