Game Thread: Penguins GDT/GNT's week 16 (Jan 18 - Jan 24)

What happened to Letang, by the way? I missed the first period.

Perron is a tremendous defensive forward. What a get he's been.

Yeah, so far nothing not to like about his game. He plays a lot like Hornqvist except he's a bit better at everything.

This is what got all the garbage started. Gotta be 10-15 games for Rinaldo given his history.

Wow, that's a really bad hit. And I think the Del Zotto one was worse. What'd they give Rinaldo for it?

 

[Darkstone42]

And also, I'm glad that while the Pens have been sucked in a little bit to the garbage, they haven't stepped over the line too much. Downie took his penalty (and an extra two for grabbing the visor during the fight, what?), but for the most part, the Pens have at least made it look like they're still trying to play hockey.

Agree on the Flyers, though. A lot of these plays look like they're trying to injure guys.

5 minute major, and a game misconduct for Rinaldo.

Think the refs have done a decent job of keeping this under control, so far......

Yeah, they've been handing out the misconducts pretty often, which is good. Probably should have given Del Zotto 4 or 5, though. Making sure everything results in a powerplay, though, which is often good incentive to cut the crap.

 

[element1286]

Really, they have to win this hockey game. Can't let the Flyers take liberties, and win. Need to flip the script and beat them in one of these type of games.

 

[element1286]

Also, Scuds has been awesome. A lot of quick poke checks 1v1 in the defensive zone.

What a great move by Geno to get it to Bennett!

 

[element1286]

The patience by both Geno and Bennett, dear lord.

Maybe Bennett's rubbing off on Malkin for the good? That was an awesome play.

Goal!....Lets hope they just bury them now. They need to just blow this game out after the 2nd period.

 

[element1286]

Greiss needs to save that puck.....

Crap, where was Erhoff on that?

He chased the forwards up to the top of the circle on the opposite side, didn't get back. Forward should have been there though.

Ok I didn't see the play and only saw him coming back a few seconds late.

 

[obxyankeefan]

Malkin is having a great start to the third.

 

[Darkstone42]

And Greiss should have had it, deflection or no. Too far off the post.

Malkin is flying now.
