Both teams should be a little snarly, based on recent play.

Yes this could easily be a 6-5 type game.

Is Paul Martin playing tonight?

Is Paul Martin playing tonight?

He's out 4-6 weeks with a tibia fracture

Martin won't be playing for a long time...


He has a broken leg

 

[esls79]

I was just curious how broken it was as he finished last game on it and said he broke it in the third period.

Sheesh, a tibia fracture, Bobby Baun would be out there playing.

I'm loving the game the Penguins are playing so far. And it's resulted in a goal for Chris Conner already!

 

[Darkstone42]

Fleury with a miscue gives the Leafs a chance, but they can't bury it.

And the Pens are back on the attack again. Good chance for Sid right in front, but Bernier with good anticipation.

 

[Darkstone42]

Orpik failed to get the puck out, then failed to pick up his man in front. JVR deflects one past Fleury. 1-1.

 

[evolver115]

I want the make-up call because that penalty on Despres was as soft as feather pillow.

 

[Darkstone42]

Lots of big hits.

And the Pens' third line looks great.

 

[Darkstone42]

2-1 Leafs after the Pens failed to get their fifth man on the ice.

 

[Darkstone42]

17 shots, 1 goal.

We are so inefficient.

 

[Darkstone42]

Fleury with another turnover, and this one ends up in the back of the net.

He's done for the night.

 

[BlueWolfZero]

JVR really loves playing the Pens

 

[Darkstone42]

And now Letang turns it over.

4-1 Leafs on just 12 shots.

 

[blindbaby]

Two really bad goals. Leafs up 4-1.

 

[Darkstone42]

Well, that was stupid by Kadri. Threw his shoulder right into Zatkoff's chest. Clear goaltender interference sends the Pens to the powerplay.

 

[evolver115]

Wow they look awful tonight. Hockey without Martin is going to be ugly
