Game Thread: Devils in Pittsburgh on Friday the 13th

It doesn't seem to be the Devils' lucky day.

I'm not sorry for that terrible joke.

Pens up 3-0 after 1.

 

[pixburgher66]

Been a good one from my perspective thus far. GO METRO DIVISION! WEEE!

Better the Devil you know, DS.

My Santa winks for your comment, dash.

You're on the nice list.

Who the hell (fitting with the thread title I figure) is Jayson Megna?

This is good for the Flyers - Devils are a point behind them if I'm not mistaken so the Devils losing helps the Flyers

He's a BC kid I believe. Undrafted FA the Pens signed two offseasons back. *hipster comment warning* I've loved this guy since I saw him at development camp 2 years ago. Plays like Marty St. Louis, and is of a similar stature. He's done nothing but score goals since getting called up.


EDIT: Not BC, he was a Nebraska-Omaha kid.

Marginally talented rookie. He's shown a lot of good stuff when he's been up.

 

[Darkstone42]

Very solid penalty kill there, especially that first minute.

 

[Darkstone42]

Elias with the deflection goal. 3-1 now.

 

[pixburgher66]

Well that changed quickly. Two *fart noise* goals.

 

[Darkstone42]

Maatta knocked Fleury out of the way.

Nothing angers me more than frustration penalties. Sutter with an opportunity up ice, and Kunitz decides to cross check someone instead.

Yup. The hit might have been a bit late, but it wasn't called, and even if it was going to, why give them a chance to even up? Especially with your guy on the rush.

Pens seem to have woken up a bit.

I thought Megna was tripped on that one by Greene. Could use a powerplay. Don't recall them having one of yet?

Looked like he got the puck first, so a good no-call in my opinion.

 

[Darkstone42]

The pace is much faster now, yet pretty controlled.

 

[Darkstone42]

Good chance there for the Penguins.

 

[Darkstone42]

The Devils got away with a pretty big too many men penalty.

The extra man kept the puck for the Devils.

Sustained possession, though for the Devils before that happened.
