Game Thread: Lightning at Penguins

[Darkstone42]

Yet again, I cannot watch this game with my NHL Gamecenter account because it's on NHL Network, which apparently counts as a national broadcast. I think I've only gotten to watch like 15 games with this Gamecenter account.

Anyway, let's see if the Pens' D can get back on track.

Someone needs to explain to me why adding more talent to the roster means Adams gets moved up to the third line. He shouldn't be playing at all.

While we wait, some highlights of past Lightning/Penguins games.

/As it turns out, Brian Burke was in charge of discipline at that time and Lemieux only got a paltry $500 fine. And Kerry Fraser didn't have a hair moved out of place. And I think the Pens won the game as well.

Would like to see a 5-4 game. Lets get some scoring going

 

[hokiehi21]

lol longest delayed penalty ever. come on Bolts get the puck

 

[Darkstone42]

Boarding on Malone, but Bortuzzo turned at the last second. Maybe not a great call.

 

[Darkstone42]

No goal, but a strong-looking powerplay. Maatta looked especially good on it.

 

[Darkstone42]

Vitale is hurt, which means Pyatt is in.

There has to be someone better than Pyatt to put in. What a drop in speed that is.

 

[hokiehi21]

stamkos usually puts those in the net

No chance on that Crosby goal. 1-0 Pens

 

[Darkstone42]

That was not offsides.

That was not offsides.

This along with the two icing calls that they overturned.

 

[Darkstone42]

Almost got a 2-on-1 chance there.

 

[Darkstone42]

Good penalty for Hedman to take there. Saved a goal for now.

 

[Darkstone42]

Salo tripped Neal, then tripped over Neal, and Neal and Salo both go to the box.

 

[obxyankeefan]

why not? The ref wanted to join the linesman in making bad calls.

 

[Darkstone42]

Maybe Neal got his foot up a bit? I don't know. It kind of looked in real time like Salo just tried go to straight over Neal and tripped on his body.

 

[Darkstone42]

That was actually interference, but tough to blame Goc who was just trying to stay onside.

 

[obxyankeefan]

Maybe Neal got his foot up a bit? I don't know. It kind of looked in real time like Salo just tried go to straight over Neal and tripped on his body.

no Neal's leg never lifted. Just a bad call that you hope doesn't affect the outcome of the game.
