Game Thread: Jets @ Pens

[pixburgher66]

That's a good line. Geno's a playmaker with a shot, Neal's got a great release and is a pure goal scorer, and Jokinen is very handsy around the net, able to clean up Neal's rebounds and find soft spots when Geno's controlling the puck behind the net.

Gibbons looks good with Crosby and Kunitz, too, by the way.

(The Nis-Cannon!)

I liked the idea of it before the game started, and I've liked the look so far, although their line has struggled a bit. I want to give him a few games at it.

Seto with a great chance with a nifty move at one end, and then Jokinen with a couple cracks at a rebound chance at the other.

Up and down action.

WHAT A SAVE!

Big saves by MAF on Ladd & Wheeler.

 

[pixburgher66]

MAF hasn't been his best today, but the early save on Kane, and that one just now were sparkling.

 

[Darkstone42]

We should have buried the empty netter there.

 

[Darkstone42]

Just missed.

 

[Darkstone42]

Phew, held on somehow.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Woo hoo Pens win!

 

[Darkstone42]

That close to tying it up. Phew.

 

[pixburgher66]

Was hoping for a hatty, but W will do!

Today was Nisky's FIFTH GWG this season. Ties franchise record for Dmen. That's pretty impressive actually.

Props to Nisky! Also what a great return for Geno. Gotta tighten up defensively and cut down on the mistakes, but overall the Doobster is pleased
