Marc-Andre Fleury back in net tonight. 

Fedotenko back too from whatever mysterious injury impaired his play.

Man, typing up reports/returns from injury is cake nowadays... 

"Something happened, it's better, here he is."

Let's go with some score predictions predictions in the comments.

I’m thinking 4-2 Pens, but I’ll even go as high as 5-2.

That’s a bold, confident prediction there Frank. I like it.

by JDMaker1 on Dec 18, 2008 6:56 PM EST up reply actions  

I’m feeling it tonight. I’m thinking we’ll see the offense turn it up. Fleury’s return should hopefully spark a little fire into the guys knowing they have him back there keeping things locked down.

Well, MAF is getting a lot of action thus far. Not the start I was hoping for.

Definitely not. He’s under a lot of fire early.

It looks like you were right. MAF is instilling confidence in me to start the game. Hopefully he is doing the same to his teammates.

I think he should have a no fighting clause in his contract.

I think they were upset that someone swatted Orpik’s stick out of his hands.

A slash?

I just saw Orpiks stick going flying on the replay. Followed by the Reasnor guy deciding it was legal to leg tackle someone.

he just gets himself in trouble. I think the second period is going to be intense.

Yeah, I think Orpik is going to kill that guy, Reasnor, that tried to take his legs out in front.

How do they differentiate between a shot on goal and a scoring chance?

by AngelaMc on Dec 18, 2008 7:58 PM EST reply actions  

or what is the difference/ a scoring chance?

by AngelaMc on Dec 18, 2008 7:59 PM EST up reply actions  

ugh, same ? twice, what is considered a scoring chance, I need sleeeeep.

by AngelaMc on Dec 18, 2008 7:59 PM EST up reply actions  

Good question, i’m not sure. A shot is by definition a shot on goal. I’m assuming a scoring chance is either a shot that misses the goal. OR, someone makes an objective determination of what they consider a good chance to score is.

by JDMaker1 on Dec 18, 2008 8:01 PM EST up reply actions  

Actually, that should be a subjective determination not objective.
