Game Thread: Pens vs BJ's

That was a scrappy goal.

Derek Engelland just sniped a shot top shelf. What is this world?

 

[dare2be]

I was more impressed with Jeffrey's work along the board.

Yuengling and Penn Pilsner are not watered down beers.

I like Yuengling personally. I mean, I wouldn't drink it if money wasn't an issue, but it's a pretty decent "affordable" option. *sips Budweiser*

I would. My beer sweet spot is pretty narrow. I can't stand the national brand piss-water and I don't like heavy dark beers either. Yuengling is the perfect balance of flavor for me. So glad that they sell it in Florida, as it isn't available in most states far from PA.

Yeah...Boll, that's not okay.

Tonight, it's McElhinney keeping the Jackets in this one.

 

[dare2be]

Comeau no-no.

Nice 4th line zone pressure.

Congrats to Jeff Zatkoff, 1st career NHL shutout. Pens defense was really smothering tonight. Great to see. Next up, Rangers on Rivalry Night.

That was about the most pathetic response to a hard loss I have ever seen.

Dubinski looked like he was going to lose his mind on the bench. If he punches Comeau and breaks his face, I am okay with that.



How to you get to the NHL and not realize that three forwards below the goal line on the attack, covered by ONE D man, is not a recipe for success?

Thank God Tabasco showed up.

Congrats to Zatkoff. Made the big saves when he had to. Even when he didn't know he did

I've been impressed by Curtis McElHinney. Very solid in both his starts against quality teams.

Didn't think Jeff Zatkoff could get a shutout this soon, but he did

Yeah, I was worried that there was too big a drop between the starter and the backup at NHL game speed, but with Bob fighting something the gap's not that big.

And that success in the AHL last year had to come from somewhere. Tabasco's been a pleasant surprise. Can't pin any of the three he gave up against the Pens on him (especially not the second one tonight ). And if you can withstand a Pens attack, you're doing something right.

Wonder if we'll see him Tuesday against Ottawa.

McElHinney is the hotter goalie right now, I would start him the next game.
