What a play! Great battle by Kunitz to win the puck, and some slick passing to Crosby, the Dupuis for the one-timer.

 

[Gooch1034]

Nice goal! Great pass!

Ouch, Chopped broken stick there and the Pens score. I need to see that again.

 

[Darkstone42]

I don't know what he's complaining about, he broke his stick hooking Kunitz, not because of a slash.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Note: I have no dog in this fight.

That was sexy

 

[Darkstone42]

Pretty move and backhand by Sutter to bury the Penguins' third goal. Man, he's been great this year.

 

[Gooch1034]

This team....I tell you what.

 

[hokiehi21]

good job pens

I didn't see the play but if that's the case no problem. I was just listening to Doc and what he said. I was working on some paper work.

Looked at first like there might have been a slash, and there was some stickwork, but it was mostly positioning, and any slash was soft. The stick did break during an awkward tangle of sticks and bodies behind the net, and I think it just got bent around Kunitz and/or the net a bit.

 

[Darkstone42]

Depres goes off with the high stick.

 

[Darkstone42]

Well that was nifty, Olli. Ill-advised play by Niskanen, and Maatta turned it into a successful clearing attempt.

 

[Darkstone42]

More solid penalty killing by the Penguins, and the Rangers' powerplay continues to look dysfunctional.

Game over, good win Penguins

I trust your judgement DS. Maybe a case of those composite sticks? I have seen calls made because they will snap with a slight tap. I wish they would go back to all wooden sticks.

damn

 

[Cobiemonster]

Not over yet

 

[BOSSMANPC]

3-2 game now. This is a good game to watch !!!

 

[Darkstone42]

3-2 now. Maatta with a rare mistake, but the big issue was Dupuis falling over at the blue line.

100!
