Avalanche @ Penguins | GNT | 11.15.11

Horrible 5-on-3, then get caught standing for goal 1, then horrible defense/turnover leads to goal 2. Sick moves from Duchene though...wow.

Beautiful pass from TK, Staalsie with another. Man on fire.

I'm beyond peeved. Part 1: THEY IGNORED THE TRIP IN THE OFFENSIVE ZONE. I realize it's the freaking end of the period, but it led to a goal. It was a blatant trip, led to a 2 on 2 break. Part 2: Martin is awful...

He's struggling, right now. I'd say it's because his linemate is out, but Martin was playing poorly before Michalek got hurt.

 

[pixburgher66]

Can they seriously stop wearing these uni's? They're just full of bad mojo.

 

[pixburgher66]

Also, I'm starting to get the same feeling from this PP that I have for...well, most every other Pens PP set up. There are some real issues when you don't generate ANYTHING on 5-on-3's. That's happened on just about every 5-on-3 we've had.

 

[pixburgher66]

Not a bad PP...but not a good one either. Letang not passing well of late.

Dear Penguins,

pull your shit together and beat these assholes.


thanks

 

[pixburgher66]

Orpik having an equally bad game tonight.

 

[evolver115]

Next goal in this one is big

 

[pixburgher66]

That was a horrific penalty call...no clue what the ref saw there. D-man basically tripped backpedaling into the defensive zone. Momentum shift was all Pitt since about minute 12, but now...need a BIG kill.

 

[evolver115]

Weird play, but i'll take it! How about Dupuis' Fu Manchu stache!!

 

[pixburgher66]

Keepin' the momentum. Need another before the end of the period. That'd be giant. We're taking over little by little here. Also, do the Avs have a player named Lidstrom? Or Linstrom perhaps? Because that's just wrong.

 

[evolver115]

Going to be an exciting third

they have a Lindstrom, and they are planning on retiring his jersey before the Wings can steal their thunder.


Go Pens Go.
I don't say that often, so when I do... I mean it!

 

[pixburgher66]

Much better period. I'd say from about the halfway point on the Pens dominated play. Defense had a few brain farts early on, but got much better after that. That garbage goal and a fantastic PK swayed momentum our way. Neal's ticked off about that penalty still, and Geno's flying. So's Sully, but apparently he's forever cursed. JUST missed that breakaway, about half an inch too low to the ground.

It would be like the Avs to do such a thing...Bourque...pfft. Ridiculous. Anyway, it's really an atrocity for them to have a guy with a name even close to Nik's. ATROCITY I SAY!
