I can't fathom with a goalie like Fleury why they aren't throwing more shots on goal. Its really unacceptable getting outshot like this.

Can't shoot if you don't have the puck. Pens are a better puck possession team. That's not going to change, but CBJ can get better at pressuring if they can just hold onto it a little longer, a little more often and get pucks deep. The CBJ's game falls apart if they can't forecheck, they can't forecheck if they don't get pucks deep and they can't get pucks deep if they can't handle the puck through the NZ. Until these bits get better, they're going to spend shifts running around after the puck and not getting shots. Bobs' strong play and a few deep breaths ought to boost them into a better third. Pens want an easy game and if CBJ can avoid giving that to them, they'll fold.

Kunitz is such an a**wipe...................

 

[EDM]

It would d really be nice for Johansen to step up here and deliver s clutch performance. He has been mediocre this game.

 

[EDM]

Looks like a repeat of the second period.

 

[DJA]

Not good.

 

[aRussian]

Sustained pressure in our end. We deserve it. Better push back

 

[EDM]

NO surpass that the Pens finally get the goal. We have 3 lines playing poorly.

 

[Columbus Mike]

Can't keep playing in our end without something like that happening.

 

[CharlotteJacket]

Hard to blame Bob, not much help on Offense or defense

 

[Halfboard]

bound to happen..........giving up way too many shots & chances.

 

[Jyrki]

that has to be the worst 3 on 3 defense I've seen yet. how do you let a guy get a clean shot so close? no wonder Bob coughed up the rebound

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

I'm waiting for the team to show up at some point in time.

 

[Fred Glover]

NO surpass that the Pens finally get the goal. We have 3 lines playing poorly.

We are only in this game because of BOB

 

[EDM]

Rather than taking offense at Goc going hard to the net, we could try getting the puck in the Pens' zone.

 

[Samkow]

Why did Goc just run Bob?

 

[Columbus Mike]

Plenty of time left. Gotta find some energy somewhere, and make sure we survive the next three minutes.

 

[MFRONE]

Nice effort from Skille. Makes no attempt to stop the puck coming into the zone and then floats making Nikitin pick up 2 guys

 

[punk_o_holic]

We are only in this game because of BOB

Sucks that they're choking away his effort that he has given them.

 

[blahblah]

Thus far, a real disaster of a game.

 

[CarolinaBlueJacket]

So do the Jackets just stand around or do they pressure the Pens?

 

[Samkow]

Bunch of *********. What the **** was that Neal?

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Love Dubi standing up for Bob after everyone else just stands there.

 

[Fred Glover]

Its about time someone stands up for BOB tonight

 

[Halfboard]

So Neal can just run our goalie without getting called? Uh, OK, just asking............
