Pens stuck in an oil slick GDT

[Darkstone42]

Good win for the Penguins against a bad team. These are games they have to win in order to keep pace in the Eastern Conference, since games against better teams are going to be tough for this injury-depleted team to win consistently.

I know it was against a bottom feeder, but happy to see the Pens get the W today. Some pretty goals from Talbot and Kunitz (the second). I liked what I saw from the top two lines.

As for the Letang hit, it looked pretty nasty (and by that I mean like it hurt, not that it was necessarily dirty). I'm not sure how I feel about it, honestly.

Also, another strong game from TK. Talbot starting to get it going. Fleury had a great game. And I thought it was a pretty good showing from Kovy...a -1, but he's doing many things well in my opinion. Pretty much the same Kovy I remember...brilliant, but does dumbass things on occasion.

It definitely wasn't as bad as Steigy and Bob made it out to be...

A special thanks to the Pens for putting on an entertaining show for myself and my Hoosier friends Fun game to go to, that's for sure. The Tanger hit seemed nasty in house, but it always seems worse there.

I think an Edmonton loss today and we'll see this in the updated standings:

x - Edmonton

aaaand Oilers are done. to win out would get them to 79.

Someone should ask Renney if they can still make it...

Calgary has two games left against the Oil, two games against the Avalanche, and one game against the Blues. If they don't go 5-for-5, they don't deserve to be in the dance.

What would you expect him to say?....

Nothing surprises me with this group anymore (for starters)

How about Tom Renney — head coach of a team that has been in 15th spot in the Western Conference virtually since the season began — talking playoffs the day after an impressive 6-3 win over Columbus?

"Nothing will surprise me with this group at all," said Renney. "It won’t surprise me when we make the playoffs. I think the biggest surprise may be if we don’t."
