Game Thread: A Cold Day in Hell, Penguins visit New Jersey

[evolver115]

What is it about playin the Devils when they have a lead?


I heard this stat that the Pens are 0-7-1 when Jersey gets the first goal

Bortuzzo in the box for tripping.

And Steiggy is extra terrible today. At least he usually calls the right names, but he's misidentified Penguins at least thrice this game so far.

If you had to drink every time Steiggy flubbed something you'd be piss drunk by the second INT

I hope Fleury's alright. That was a hard shot square off his face.

 

[Darkstone42]

Neal took an elbow to the nose. Down the runway for maintenance.

 

[Darkstone42]

Sutter to the box for something, I wasn't looking, so I don't know what for, but whatever it was, he took the worst of it.

 

[Darkstone42]

Ah, a trip for Sutter, and fortunately it wasn't the elbow which caught Neal, but Brodeur's stick, less likely to be serious.

So... uh.... are we going to get a powerplay opportunity today, is is this just a charity day for the devils

 

[Darkstone42]

Neal back on the ice, good.

How it always goes down against the Devils, Pens never get pp's.

Pretty much. Just let them clutch, grab and generally interfere with your attempts to gain the zone, but the refs swallow their whistles, as usual.

I hate watching them play trap type teams. It's boring as sin, and the refs don't call the game the way they should.

Despres has been outstanding today. He's been very tough on Jagr.

Couldn't agree more. Not that the Pens are playing great today though.

 

[element1286]

Another devils PP, I'm shocked.

 

[Darkstone42]

Jokinen just missed tying it up, and now the Devils to the powerplay.

 

[element1286]

Horseshit call too, wow.

 

[Darkstone42]

Another solid kill for the Penguins.

 

[Darkstone42]

We've got to get something going in the offensive zone, but we only really have one scoring line right now.

 

[Darkstone42]

They finally got called for the interference. Penguins to the powerplay.

Yep, finally. Didn't even see a hook, but whatever, I'll take a pure makeup call after that junk call on Orpik.
