It's Hoedown Throwdown Pens at Preds

[pixburgher66]

This is fleury's game... unless he's giving up double digit goals, coach won't pull him regardless the score... keep him in to show confidence in the kid... no way he gets yanked (unless injured) tonight.

Goalies are like QBs, even if the WR runs the wrong route, the QB is blamed for all interceptions.. regardless if a defender forgot to pick up his man in front of the goal, every goal is the goalies fault. Fleury probably has given 2 maybe 3 bad goals this year. The montreal goal and the one where his right pad was covering the boards.

Go Pens!!

This was the point I was trying to make a few games back...apparently it wasn't as succinct because my opinion was regarded as Fleury crushing or something. Anyway, I agree. I think Fleury will bounce back with a good game (if not THIS game, one of his next few will be him stealing a game)

TIME TO DROP THE PUCK NOW! and...still in commercial.

 

[pixburgher66]

Ahhh, ceremonial puck drop.

Oh for their last six in sound town for the pens. yikes

 

[pixburgher66]

Well, bad start, but not a bad goal. Bad D, couldn't clear the zone.

Not Fleury's fault.. but on the penguins board, before the season even started, I said Fleury has a trend of giving up goals within the first minute or first shot... I've come to expect that from Fleury... but this goal, not much he could do on that one... that's unfortunate for Fleury....

 

[evolver115]

This is brutal so far for Pittsburgh. Looks like they left their mojo at the hotel.

Pens are not supporting in their own zone... as soon as a penguin gets the puck, the forwards all head up ice... keep it simple guys... give simple outlet passes.

4th line had a great cycle going, created some great chances. Need to get the puck on net more this game, gotta get those second chance goals...create rebounds.

Surprising Tangradi is on the 4th line? to quote Staggy..... Am I the only one disappointed in him? He has done nothing this year... besides shoot a puck wide and having it bounce off a skate and go into the net...

 

[pixburgher66]

WOW did he go down early. Wait! They have a powerball PP too! I guess they won't score then!

 

[Darkstone42]

What was the penalty? I saw the guy go down, but it looked like they just got tied up. And I couldn't hear the call. Was it a trip?

 

[Darkstone42]

Fleury's looked good so far.

 

[pixburgher66]

GREAT save (poke check) by Fleury. Great PK, now with the PP I hope we can swing the mo' a bit here.

 

[UTVolCountry]

Great start

I find it surprising they have Tangradi on the 4th line. Not because he has played his way into a top 6 role, cause he hasn't really, but because there's no point in having him play less than 10 minutes a night. Send him to WB/S if you don't want him in the top six and insert a guy like Wallace or Jeffrey into the lineup. Putting ET on the 4th line doesn't really help his development all that much.

Sugar and spice...Tanger looks reallllly hurt on that one

Don't worry, he'll be sent down within a week. Once Asham gets back.

Did Letang go to the locker room?
