Game Thread: An Arctic Waters Wildlife Special: Pens at Sharks 03-06-2014

[Darkstone42]

Goc and Stempniak will be skating tonight on the fourth and third lines, respectively for the Penguins tonight.

Fast pace to start.

Go Penguins!

 

[Slimpikins]

Sharks scrambling in their own zone early. These turnovers have to stop or it's going to be a long night.

 

[Darkstone42]

The Sharks' best chances have come with Raffi Torres on the ice.

Take from that what you will.

 

[Darkstone42]

Jokinen with the hook, and the Sharks get the first powerplay.

 

[Slimpikins]

PP Sharks.

Goc had a deer-in-the-headlights look as he was confronted by the spastic energy of Dan Potash in his pre-game interview.

Poor guy. He probably thought "wait, is that Bylsma doing the tv interview?"

 

[Slimpikins]

Also, I still hate Torres. I know you are supposed to like a guy once he is on your team but I still remember him taking out Michalek's knee in the playoffs several years back.

 

[Darkstone42]

Sharks looked good on that powerplay, but the Penguins got in the way just enough to keep them off the board.

 

[Darkstone42]

Good pressure from the Penguins in counter.

 

[Cobiemonster]

A lot of excitement in this game so far

Sharks looked good on that powerplay, but the Penguins got in the way just enough to keep them off the board.

We deployed our Scuds.

 

[Slimpikins]

Good first PP. Lots of shots and some movement off the puck.

Penguins came to play tonight, so far the Sharks have matched that energy.

 

[dare2be]

Holy Maatta!

 

[Darkstone42]

Maatta on the doorstep to break the ice.

That kid is awesome.

 

[Slimpikins]

WTF was Niemi doing there?

Good job by Maatta to go to the net and be the first on the puck.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Nice goal by Olli Maatta

 

[dare2be]

Scuderi got Burnsed. PP Pens.

 

[Darkstone42]

Kunitz with the second on the nice feed from Geno.

 

[dare2be]

Nice pickpocket by Malkin to get it to Kunitz. 2-0.

 

[Slimpikins]

The Pens have too much talent to put on the PP. 2-0 Pens and San Jose needs some momentum.
