So, I just heard..."great defensive play by Jack Johnson"...

Yes that isn’t crazy talk, it did happen.

This is shaping up to be one of those games where I hate that I am at work and can not watch it.

The back and forth is fun, but to be honest, a lot of sloppy neutral zone play and defense. None of the goals have been particularly pretty/skillful. I doubt either coach is particularly pleased right now.

Ok Letang with a goal and Jack Johnson making a great defensive play. It is official @scoutyjones2 head did explode.

I found a meme, but it was inappropriate, so instead I'm going to tell you I'm grading an exam right now with a simple harmonic oscillator problem, and tomorrow will grade a problem set with a damped harmonic oscillator (a grandfather clock, though without the driving mechanisms), and a damped driven harmonic oscillator (a subwoofer, because I'm trying to relate to the youths).

39 shots on goal in the 2nd period combined. Barely a body check to be seen.

Defense!!

He's more the "jump on my back, boys. I'm going to carry you all to the promised land" type.

Cool - sound a lot like the Max Talbot type then.

That is more than can be said about......Oh nevermind I can't say that anymore.

With esls chiming in from Bangkok and Matt between the pipes, I think this tune is appropriate.

Caps looking lazy/tired now.

Side note: How in the hell do the Pens get a team on a back-to-back for the first game of the season?!?

Scheduling did the same thing to the Pens last year. Chicago 10 Pittsburgh 0

Man, this whole third period the Pens have been in the offensive zone.

Hawks down 3-2 in the second period. I don't get WGN so I can't watch it.

Currently watching the Islanders and Canes. Crowd actually looks good for a Canes game.
