Game Thread: Vancouver Canucks @ Pittsburgh Penguins: showdown at high noon

[Dacks]

Wish this game was televised nationally... I know it's on Sportsnet Pacific but I think it's blacked out in Ottawa.

An interesting subplot IMO is the goaltending. In the off-season, a lot of discussion about whether Fleury and Luongo, once considered the future of Canada's national team goaltending, should still even be considered. Both have got off to solid starts this year.

1st powerplay goes to the good guys

Over 7 minutes of action before the first whistle is heard - Higgins to the sinbin for holding.

richardson has been a huge upgrade over lapierre (at this point anyways)

luongo looks to be guessing right so far this morning

 

[evolver115]

Both goalies look sharp so far


I wonder if either of those two make it Sochi?

Two good clean hits along the boards and no fights - What the hell is going on?

Nice save by Fleury on a great chance by Kesler

Two knuckle-draggers doing what they do best

dont agree with that ... maxipad is fast ... maxipad just thought he was above his checking/grinding role and stopped playing that way

NHL Gamecenter is not cooperating with me right now...
