Dam they suck!!!!

 

[MISKO]

its just the first period no biggie

 

[joe_baran]

I get the feeling this game is going exactly how Columbus would like, they're content just banging away shift after shift with no push-back from the Pens.

 

[joe_baran]

Booyah. Some life, finally!

 

[Cobiemonster]

lol wtf was that

 

[MISKO]

i believe it was a goal

 

[Darkstone42]

A couple good shifts after the powerplay goal, too. Good.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Come on Jackets

 

[Darkstone42]

Pens to the powerplay again, the product of a nice piece of zone time.

 

[Darkstone42]

That was an excellent powerplay, but Bob was up to the task. The save on Crosby was pretty tremendous.

Tied after two periods - Penguins out shooting the Jackets 36-17 - now go play a strong third Jackets

Did Kunitz actually get that one or was it Savard falling down that smacked it in? Hard to tell from what I saw. Great movement by the Pens though.

Anyway, the Jackets finally weathered a storm. The way the Penguins got jump there thanks to Wiz forgetting how to hockey (Stupid penalty to take hitting from behind like that) that could have been the three goal outburst we've seen before.

Just gotta win one period boys. Keep fighting. And stay disciplined.

Bob was outstanding that period. Great work especially with the pads.

Don't worry, 43. I'm watching now (sorry, missed the first two periods). Haven't seen the Jackets lose yet. And if their are two things I've learned over the years watching hockey, it is that the team's play means nothing and that fan's viewing habits and seat positioning determines the outcomes of all hockey games.

"Bob faces one from an acute angle and handles it."

I thought it was a pretty ugly angle, frankly.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Jussi Jokinen makes it 2-1 Penguins - time for the Jackets to get it together and get this tied - getting outshot way too much

 

[joe_baran]

Jokinen... with the second or third effort...!!

 

[MISKO]

nice goal sweet

 

[Darkstone42]

JUSSI! What a puke move by Stempniak to enter the zone and set it up.
