Game Thread: An Arctic Waters Wildlife Special: Pens at Sharks 03-06-2014

Another great play by Scuderi to break up the pass...looks like the Sharks are starting to get frustrated.

The dreaded 2-goal lead going into the 2nd.

That is the most complete period of hockey I've seen the Pens manage in a long while. Dan had them ready to go for this one.

 

[Darkstone42]

Stempniak's had some hop in his debut.

 

[Darkstone42]

Sharks to the powerplay after a good kill.

 

[dare2be]

Zat is showing good composure, making saves look easy with no rebounds.

He does look sharp tonight.

And Kunitz with some solid effort on the kill there.

 

[Slimpikins]

Damn, Irwin hits iron.

 

[Darkstone42]

Zatkoff looks so in control so far in this game. That was a good chance for the Sharks, but he made it look easy.

 

[Darkstone42]

Offsetting interference and embellishment penalties.

 

[esls79]

I don't agree with that call. That should have only been a dive.

 

[dare2be]

Neither should have been called.

 

[Darkstone42]

Big save on Malkin there.

 

[Slimpikins]

Don't get too excited, the Sharks have a habit of making back up goalies look like Patrick Roy. For some reason they seem to be our kryptonite.

 

[Darkstone42]

I hate Raffi Torres, naturally, but he is playing a heck of a hockey game tonight.

Zatkoff's looked good for most of the season. He really looks like he knows what he's doing.

 

[dare2be]

I won't be staying up for the 3rd. Barely keeping my eyes open here.

 

[Darkstone42]

Maatta looks even better than usual tonight, too.

That's good, if it has been more than this game than by all means, get excited. I haven't watched any Penguins game this year so my comment was half ignorant.

Struggling against backup goalies and letting guys score their first NHL goals are Sharks specialties.

Although with the Pens having two new guys in the lineup tonight after the trade deadline, I would have been surprised if they didn't play like gangbusters.

 

[Darkstone42]

Kunitz might be hurt...
