Pittsburgh Penguin fans or not welcome here

He's no longer a starting goalie in the NHL - He had one good year in the desert, that's it.

He is no Pat Riggin.

He is no Pat Riggin.

He's no Phil Myre.

Murray is really reading what Calgary is trying to do well.

 

[Markwassillylaugher]

thank you Calgary for keeping Smith in the net. 5-0 Pens!

Cinco!

Smith's confidence is gone. He was fine early, just hung out to dry a lot. Now he's just not seeing it well, or he's given up.

I think Peters is sending a message by not pulling Smith, as to say he's not the scapegoat.

Oh man, Kessel with the brace.

 

[Mangler]

Holy crap.... 6-0 halfway thru 2nd period

 

[Darkstone42]

Phew, that shot from Phil. That was a rocket, right where he wanted to put it.

Smith is tired of this message.

Smith is tired of this message.

His team in front of him has been terrible tonight - That said, he is no longer a number 1 goalie in this league and the Flames need to ride Rittich and hope he can turn into Kipper 2.0

I am only getting to see the goals once NHL.com puts the replay up and have only seen the first four goals. But from what I have seen Pittsburgh has not had to do much, every one of those goals beyond the first one where the results of a Calgary Dman doing something stupid. The Crosby goal was on Smith in my mind, the other three have been on bad plays by Stone and Hanifan.

 

[Darkstone42]

Crosby is on a mission. Great battle and puck control on that shift.

Brassard is some kind of snakebit, though not being able to score on a couple golden looks on this night.

[Darkstone42]

Murray is dialed in this game. Great positioning, tracking the puck through traffic and off deflections, quick and big in net.

Calgary has been terrible defensively tonight, but they look dangerous when they have the puck in the attacking end, until they shoot it and Murray coolly stops them.

 

[dash]

All right, that's enough punishment for tonight, I'd say good game Pens fans, but only one team showed up tonight.

Okay, I lied - Jack Johnson with the convert

Okay, I lied - Jack Johnson with the convert

You know it's bad for Calgary if Jack Johnson is picking corners.

You know what they say about a seven goal lead in hockey?

It's the second worst lead in hockey behind the five goal lead.
