Please tell me that I didn't just see the crowd doing the wave.

Haha, they just gave the kid who had the puck stolen from him a Crosby jersey and a puck. That's awesome.

Sadly, I'd prefer Scuderi putting the puck on the net to Lovejoy's purposely wide shots looking for deflections.

Not sure if anyone noticed there, but Scuderi took a shot, and it was actually on net. Couple that with a power play goal and Sid assisting on two goals and we've got an episode of Twilight Zone.

Who dropped the ball tonight.

Apparently me but I don't remember signing up for this one, just the Colorado game.

Because I'm at work and I knew I'd be working....


Sorry everyone

Zatkoff looks like a wet noodle between the pipes.

Is it just me, or is Olli Maatta getting outmuscled a little?

It's not just you. He has looked a little tentative since coming back from injury, too.

I'm looking forward to a new backup next season.

That puck had eyes.

In their defense, the TSN guys (along with others) did make that comparison at the draft.

Who does he think he is, Wayne Gretzky?

Same username. Lurked for years, posted for weeks.

Less than a minute in and Crosby has an assist.

Didn't the guy who wrote this used to cover the Flyers on a regular basis? Who the f cares what he theorizes?

Yes, and his streak of being an awful journalist continues.

You're right. Personnel doesn't matter.

I'm too lazy to go through the list, but we have quite a few new faces this season, so those comparisons can be thrown out of the window.

Agents of SHIELD was good again this week. That's how a network show can cut costs - spend an episode with 2-3 characters. But it was excellent, and obviously answered questions about how Simmons survived on an alien planet for six months. Gotta say, when the preview aired for this week's episode, ...

Do you really think only scoring 1.78 goals per game is actually sustainable? As in, do you really think they're not going to score for the rest of the year?

Lot of alarmist reaction to a fairly small sample size. It's only been 9 games.

+1

Beat me to it.

I didn't say that we had it now, but it's getting there. Plus, this has to include the forwards, not just the defensemen. Buy in from everyone needs to happen. As far as your list goes: -Lovejoy has looked better lately, and probably had his best game in a Pens uniform last night -Dumoulin looked te...

we've been top half of the league in team GAA for several years. we've been top 5 in goals for up until last year. and somehow we were winning games - despite actually utilizing the unique talents of our key personnel. if anyone was unhappy with that balance, but is happy with this balance, then th...

Wins apparently matter less when you're not outscoring the opponent by 3 goals or more.

source?

(I was being sarcastic, in case that didn't come through...)

307 posts, and not a single one about how we need a tough guy with snarl to "make other teams think twice about going after our stars". I like it.

we have stars?

Half of the time I refer to them as ****** while yelling at the TV. Does that count?

Yeah, I probably should have narrowed down my gripe with him, which is with his puck management and shot selection, though the latter can be said of basically any of our forwards. If he scored 20 goals for us, I'd overlook everything else.

Am I the only one, unfounded or not, that seems to be continually disappointed in Perron? I liked Perron's game last night - he had a lot of energy and played a more physical game than usual. I like the physical aspect, but sometimes it looks like he's playing hot potato with the puck - especially ...
