I gotta cheer for the Caps in this one, especially rookie Stanislav Galiev. Hope he has a big night! Caps are having a 'Caps fight Cancer" promotion tonight. Galiev is wearing a pink jersey in warm up with the name of a friend of mine on the back. This friend of mine has been battling (and so far winning) cancer for the past couple of years. I went to high school and played hockey with him growing up. He's now the equipment manager of the junior team here where Galiev played a few years ago.

Refs doing all they can to help the Pens in the early going.

Hey now, that stick *was* high.

It didn't make contact with anything, but it was high.

I guess you haven't seen much of the Penguins PP this year. Trust me all those calls helped the Caps.

No one has seen much of the Pens PP. Or even strength play, either.

This is one terrible hockey game tonight. I'm not against a 0-0 game, they can be entertaining... but this one isn't.

David Perron has one really stellar shift. That's about it so far.

Welcome to our entire season.

I will say Crosby looks like his old self... he's slashing Backstrom and then whining when he gets it back.

 

[elocomotive]

And Ovechkin back in young form... gliding all over the place.

Just sloppy, lazy effort from both sides. Worst game I've seen this year.

Sloppy game in Ottawa tonight - Flames get a dubious PP in the 3rd period to tie the game 4-4 (19 year old Sam Bennett's first regular season goal).

 

[dash]

Both the Sens and Flames have "earned" a point. Just fugly hockey though.

Off to the coin flip - Anderson robs Johnny Hockey during 3-on-3

 

[dare2be]

Hey, our first 3-goal regulation game! Empty-netter tho.

 

[dash]

Flames lose again. Sigh.

I thought the Pens looked pretty solid overall, PP excluded. Phil and Geno seem to have something going, the fourth line of Bennett-Porter-Cullen were great, MAF was superb (has been basically all year), PK strong, bounced back from Kuznetsov goal quickly, didn't get off track after big hits, etc. Mostly positives. I have to think goals will come. Their shooting percentage is around like 4%, sommmmmehow that has to regress to the mean.

18 year old Sam Bennett > 19 year old Sam Bennett

18 year old Sam Bennett > 19 year old Sam Bennett

Nope, Bennett was fine tonight, scored a goal and went after Jared Cowen after Cowen put a cheap shot on Johnny Hockey. Best Flame on the ice tonight, in my opinion.

 

[puckhead]

you know me, I just cull data

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Yah bennett was good tonight. That solo end to end rush late in the 3rd would have been play of the week material if he finished it

But galley referred to him as 19 year old sam bennett. When is this retarded dogshit gonna end from sportsnet. Are we gonna one day hear "28 year old sam bennett with the goal". Fuck off!

Remember when Paul Gaustad was traded for a first rounder? How the eff did that happen? I think this every time I hear his name.
