Game Thread: Flames at Penguins

For Dash and whoever else

Afternoon game in Pittsburgh between the Flames and Penguins

 

[dash]

The Flames might have a chance today due to how ravaged the Pens are with injuries. That said, Crosby usually lights it up against Calgary and I wouldn't be surprised to see a dopey Flames team due to the early start.

Well, they did play an afternoon game in Buffalo last weekend and they won that game, but yeah it was Buffalo - might be a different result today

Another lovely anthem from Jeff Jimerson.

And his hair remains perfect.

Kunitz had a bit of trouble on that opening shift.

That looked ugly for Glencross - See you in 6 weeks Glengarry (maybe more).

 

[Darkstone42]

Ew, that didn't look good.

The Doobster picks the Pens to win in a blowout or to get upset. Nothing in between.

Congrats to Kris Russell on his 400th game today - What a great pickup he has been for Calgary this season.

 

[Darkstone42]

Good chance for Crosby there. Good save to keep it out.

 

[Darkstone42]

Maatta is just a bit off today.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Shucks, thought Neal scored there.

 

[Darkstone42]

Post. What a shot that was.

 

[Darkstone42]

Glad we weathered that one. Great shift from Squiddy et al.

DUP!

1-0 Pens

The puck squirted free and there was Dupuis

 

[Darkstone42]

GOAL!

Slick hands by Crosby to pick Smid's pocket, and Dupuis buries it.

 

[Darkstone42]

Good power move there from Neal. Good save to keep the deficit at 1.

 

[dash]

Call timeout Hartley, this looks like a 20 min PP for the Pens.

2-0 Pens Zolnierczyk with the tip in
