Game #56 PENS vs WINGS

[Gaucho]

LET'S GO PENS!!!

[Tico Rick]

Forecheck, backcheck, paycheck.

Let's go Pens!

[Gaucho]

Patric Hornqvist has 1 goal in his last 12 games. Time to pot one!

[Faubert5]

I'm going to start a gofundme account to get Kessel some glasses.

[Gaucho]

the ****, Phil

[Faubert5]

I'll take Unlikely Goal Scorers for $1,000, Alex.

[Tico Rick]

Good things happen when you throw the puck to the net.

[Blue Canary]

Nice work, Reverend!

[Gaucho]

I dig the been there, done that, got the t-shirt non-celebration.

1) A LOT OF EMPTY SEATS?


2) A LOT OF RED WING FANS?
I'm seeing way more empty seats, late arriving fans, and red jerseys in the stands than I can recall in a long long time. Is this an optical illusion or what gives?


DK on Pittsburgh sports the other day said Detroit brings the most fans of any team in any sport to Consol, something I found hard to believe given the sell out streak and how invaded PNC Park gets.

If i'm Mrazek, I would be hot right now. You have a forward way low there, doing nothing...looks like he wants to screen you for starters, then decides to get stuck between getting out of the way and blocking it and tips it perfectly against the grain for the unearned tally...

Why the hell is Jim Jackson doing the NBC broadcast?

[Gaucho]

way too easy

[Avyran]

That was a really nice pass by Nyquist. Fun note: Instead of selecting Nyquist, the Pens chose Nathan Moon at 120; Nyquist was 121 in the 2008 Draft.

(Which means everyone else missed out on him too. Edit #2 - What a lousy draft that year.)

He must be a regional callup, just like Kenny Albert, Brian Boucher, and Keith Jones are sometimes.

Wonder if he'll sneak in something about the Flyers on the broadcast. He often can't help himself from sneaking in something snide about the Pens during random Flyers broadcasts.

[Blue Canary]

I'm not used to seeing a Pens-Red Wings game played this fast.

[Gaucho]

Rust never sleeps.

[NTP66]

I don't think we've looked too good, but I'll take the 2-1 lead.

[Blue Canary]

Cullen, way to stick with the play!

I fully expect a comment or twelve. Maybe even a mention of the last playoff series.

Still beats listening to Emrick, though... barely.

3 ASS = 1 GOAL

One more, please.

[Avyran]

Yeah, been much more enjoyable to watch. Detroit's still good at their style of interference, but speed is just fun to watch.

Yay power play.

Quincy gets away interference (as is expected for a Red Wing) and then pushed his luck.
