Best shift of the season for Tangradi, although that isn't sayin' much

Second game in a row that Tangradi has shot a puck through a goalies five hole, only to have it sneak through the other side and out.

Almost a guarantee that Brown will be looking to fight someone in a black sweater. And if not Brown, then I'm sure Orr will comply. Hate both those bitches

Orr it was...but it didn't look like it was initiated by him wholly.

I think Engelland and Orr have a legit hate for one another. There was no mutual respect in that fight. They both went until they had nothing left, literally. At the end of that fight they were both feather dusting.

The Pens would probably lead the league in "negated icings". I don't recall ever seeing this many. Wonder if it's part of their gameplan or something.

Okay, the definition of boarding has to be really, really loose. Because I don't think I would've defined that hit as such. They were nearly shoulder to shoulder, no?

Boarding my arse!

 

[dare2be]

Thanks alot, Kunitz.

Yea... Refs seem very trigger happy with calls this season so far. Looch's boarding call against the Rags in game 1 was laughable.

He had to close in on him fast to catch him. He was a good 15 feet behind him when Kunitz crossed to blue line. He just continued his momentum with the hit and used the Leafs player to cushion his blow.

 

[Jimmy_the_Tongue]

Please get Tangradi off of that line...

Some calls are easier than others, but I generally see boarding as a vicious penalty. The hit Kunitz just laid was hockey.

WHY the heck are the Pens better on the PK than full strength tonight? Also, Tangradi with a major UGH there with Geno breaking to the net.

 

[pixburgher66]

Fourth line doing work, draw a penalty. Good stuff from them.

 

[pixburgher66]

Engo went to the locker room. Worried about that pesky orbital bone.

Dad's text: "Crosby is due" Waiting for Sid to score on the PP and to get a "Called it." text.

 

[pixburgher66]

That was a step closer to boarding than the Kunitz one...

 

[dare2be]

That was a step closer to boarding than the Kunitz one...

I disagree. Vitale did not hit the boards anywhere near as hard.

 

[evolver115]

Malkin is lethal

 

[dare2be]

Malkin!!!!!!!!!

 

[pixburgher66]

Gennnnoooo. The Leafs have honestly dominated this period. Having a lead would be something...
