Sabres VS Pens - 4/2/13 - 7:30PM - Pens March On To History With 16th Straight Win

[pixburgher66]

What's the call on Despres? He didn't leave his feet like Engblom mentioned. The dude is a tree, it just looks like it compared to smaller people...

 

[IPostedWhat]

It wasn't Kaleta IPW.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Oh good they have soccer on Saturday ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

 

[DChero]

Kennedy with another worthless shot. Maybe try switching him and Sutter?

 

[IPostedWhat]

So what do you think Boss, do the Sabres have another 3rd period collapse, which leads to another loss in the SO?

It's possible esp against the Pens. I just don't need OT tonight.

 

[pixburgher66]

Morrow shoves a guy down...gets a penalty...fine...exact same thing happens to him a moment later and nothing. Come ahnnn.

The boards are taking a beating tonight. Huge hits it this game

I read the 2nd part of that wrong at first, and was mad I can't see the game.

I was busy fixing some issues in my lab, but from what I saw, Vokoun was really shaky.

Even without Sid, though, we have a good enough offense to still pull this game out. We just have to be perfect in the third.

Goals 3 and 4 were stinkers. Just got out of position.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Shit Stafford hit the post on the PP when they were up 4-1 could have been 5-1. Big difference, lets see if that haunts them because the Pens will come out firing and I'm betting they get a 5 on 3, they always do against the Sabres.

Unless they had one in the first before I was here.

Weber, Kaleta, Ott and Myers have all been pretty physical tonight. They have done a nice job working the forecheck and generating chances, and drawing penalties. 2 boarding calls in this one, already.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Looks like Joni Pitkanen get's busted up in the Carolina game racing for an icing and smashes into the boards. Taken off on a stretcher, when are they going to wise up and go to the no touch icing?

I'd love to hear their reasoning for not instituting hybrid icing. It is a player safety issue, what's the problem?

 

[pixburgher66]

Oh look, James Neal with an idiotic penalty.

 

[IPostedWhat]

Why boo? The Pens best chance to score is when the Sabres are on the PP.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Pens better stop worrying about Kaleta and play the game. He's doing his job for sure they are more concerned with him.

 

[dare2be]

Clearly you haven't been watching the Sabres this year.

Just wait till the 3rd period, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Yeah, well, I knew, but it was a feeble attempt of some reverse jinx.

Since it appears that it isn't going to work, I'll just say congrats now. Pens just don't have it in them tonight.

 

[DChero]

I'm definitely chalking up the struggles here to lack of chemistry. It'll get there, but all four forward lines were tweaked in the last two games. Once they gel, they'll be back in beast mode.

Oh and Tyler Kennedy needs to be dealt for anything.
