Game Thread: Checking another off the list: Penguins at Oilers

[Darkstone42]

Crosby just scored his first career goal against the Oilers, and the Penguins are up 2-0.

Just a few teams left for the Kid to check off his list.

The Penguins are playing like crap.

But they're playing against the Oilers, fortunately.

I don't know a thing about hockey as evident that I put 10 vcash on Edmonton.

Doobster really likes the way Zatkoff has been playing, not just this game but in general.

Best team in the East vs. the worst of the West. Not really a, um, "safe" bet.

 

[pixburgher66]

Pens have really been all over in this game. It's not a good trend. I know I should just enjoy winning hockey, but there are some red flags.

Dick move there by Malkin..

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Beautiful move by Malkin though, before taking that dumb penalty

Also, as discussed in the Ongoing thread: 3 teams left for Sid to score a goal against, Chicago, St. Louis, and San Jose. Sid only has two career games against Chicago, in the first two years of his career. 7 games against St. Louis. 5 against San Jose.

I really don't know why Geno was doing that...not really necessary.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

2-0 Pens after 2

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

I'm fine with Geno doing that. It was Dumbnyk that initiated violence. Geno was just having a little harmless fun.

 

[pixburgher66]

I know it's a jerk move to hit the goalie stick away...but man it's annoying when goalies start whacking a guy, then disappear and let a teammate take over. It's like girls at bars who start throwing punches at a guy, then hide behind their boyfriend. Advice: don't hit girls back...even though it's sort of not fair.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Ugh bad start to the 3rd. Guess that's karma for what Geno did.

 

[pixburgher66]

Blech. The Oilers REALLY use Pitbull as a goal song? Who wants to score if that's the song that greets you. Ew. Steiggy is in rare form tonight by the way. Rare for respectable broadcasters, not rare for him.

 

[pixburgher66]

The turnovers for the Pens have been pretty awful the past few weeks. Kunitz has had some rough ones tonight.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Who scored for the Oilers?

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Actually just saw it, Nuge on the PP, nice.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Ohhhh Perron just missed there

 

[pixburgher66]

Errey is horrible tonight along with Steiggy. I don't know what it's going to take to get rid of that crew.
