Penguins vs Hurricanes Open Thread



Pittsburgh Penguins (28-19-4) vs Carolina Hurricanes (26-24-4)
In Pittsburgh at 7:30pm
Watch on FSN/Center Ice or listen live at WXDX.com

NOTES
Series tied at 1-1
Pens opened the season in a 4-1 loss to Carolina
Recchi had the only goal
Pens won last meeting 4-3 in shootout
A post-flu, post-crash-into-the-boards Colby is expected back tonight
Kris Beech has settled his visa problems and is now with the team

On a personal note, is anyone else taken back by how much attention Beech has gained already?  Up until last night he hadn't even practiced with the team.  And, when you consider how he played with the Pens from 2001-2005, it almost seems unnecessary.

Let's

get it on! With a Ducks win we either take over first or tie. I guess if we lose we can still be a point behind. Anyways, anyone ever see Colby's FSN "Penguins Fans First" commercial or Max's for that matter. F'n hilarious! LETS GO PENS!

hah

Yeah, Max says he sounds like Borat and Colby says "eh" about 10 times.  Hysterical.

center ice

my friggin center ice isn't working again.  I swear to God I'm going to kill these people.

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 7:46 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

what

does that mean? Are you not able to watch the game? If so I'd seriously contemplate killing people also. So this game looks like it will be a little more physical than I expected.

right now

the guy on the phone is telling me to reboot my cable box.  This has been happening a lot lately and I'm ready to just unleash hell on my cable company./

Such

shitty goals against Conklin as of late. Alright let's get it back!

by kellyfisher on Feb 2, 2008 7:52 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

that's

not what I like to read!

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 7:55 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Please

don't tell me this will be ANOTHER game which I'm yelling at the TV for Conk to stay in the net. He was near the damn BLUE LINE!!!!

by kellyfisher on Feb 2, 2008 7:55 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

he's

way too crazy with that crap.  He has to, in the words of Happy Gilmoure, "Stay in his home."

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 7:56 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

if i'm lucky

I'll have service by second period.

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 8:00 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

That

is when you call dish or direct and get FSN. We're on a 4 min double minor. Lets get one!

by kellyfisher on Feb 2, 2008 8:06 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

i'm listening

online right now. It's on a 20 second or so delay.  I guess i'll deal.

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 8:07 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

..

It's ok Frank.....you're not alone.......I'm at my moms and can't watch the game either.  I hope we can squeak out a win.  It says on the roster sheet at nhl.com that Beech is a healthy scratch....is this true??

by penskorn66 on Feb 2, 2008 8:07 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

i wouldn't doubt it

that site is normally pretty legit with their stuff.  Plus, the guy is probably tryin to get his crap together after all of the border stuff he had to deal with.

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 8:09 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

finally

center ice is working.  thank you very much.  I'm glad I coughed up $150 for service.  Next season, they should market it as "You MAY be able to watch all 82 games a year."

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 8:14 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Boo!

Eff Philly. Let's see some Penguins goals this period, eh?

by kellyfisher on Feb 2, 2008 8:24 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

i say

Mad Max notches one this period.

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 8:29 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

I

think it's been a few games. He's due!

by kellyfisher on Feb 2, 2008 8:35 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

it'd be great

if they could actully clear their zone.

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 8:30 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

yeah

i could get into that.

by kellyfisher on Feb 2, 2008 8:32 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Carolina

has waaaay too many shots on goal. Defense needs to step up.

by kellyfisher on Feb 2, 2008 8:37 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

offense

the offense has had more than a few chances, but have been unable to turn this around.  Ward is really good and keeping out those rebounds.

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 8:40 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

ah yes

the ole shot to the press box.

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 8:42 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Max

with a short handed goal?

by kellyfisher on Feb 2, 2008 8:44 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

max

with ANY kind of goal.

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 8:44 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

pens look

really bad tonight.

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 8:47 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

I

agree. I think I said it last game. They lack that intensity they usually play with. I miss Sid. :( lol

by kellyfisher on Feb 2, 2008 8:54 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Fortunately

other teams around the league have been losing as well.  Unfortunately though, both the Flyers and Devils are currently winning in their games.

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 8:55 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

woo

Conklin almost F'd that one up.

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 8:56 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Ahahahaha

they just played that A&L Motors commercial. Sooo bad but yet so funny. Also, even more gratuitous Sid shots.

CHRISTENSEN!!!

oh man.  He looked hurt from the cross-check, and then he said F-U to the Canes.

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 9:23 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Dear Eric,

We love you! Nice fakey!

Love,

Pensburgh

Oh I don't think it'll ever get old.

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 9:29 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Christensen

SCORES!!!!! Thats what im talking about. Lets get another!

by kellyfisher on Feb 2, 2008 9:24 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Christensen

has been on fire lately.  He's exactly the kind of guy the Pens need to wake up.

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 9:24 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

alright

Let's go.  Have to convert on this PP.

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 9:31 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

eesh

I think they're gonna call that off for a high-stick

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 9:32 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

nevermind

It's a Cane's stick

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 9:33 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

it was

Malone's stick.  Good thing they looked past it.

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 9:36 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

It

was reeeeeaaaaally close. I'll take it either way!

by kellyfisher on Feb 2, 2008 9:39 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

No

way

by kellyfisher on Feb 2, 2008 9:33 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

WOW

let' hope this seals the deal.  Man, that was beautiful

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 9:41 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

now...

no more stupid penalties.

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 9:41 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

SEE?

like that...

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 9:42 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

jinxed us! hahaha. dammit!

by kellyfisher on Feb 2, 2008 9:42 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

You're

forgiven! I'm a little more comfortable with a 3 goal lead! SYKORA!!!!!!

by kellyfisher on Feb 2, 2008 9:50 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Still

not sure how he did that! :)

by kellyfisher on Feb 2, 2008 9:42 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

yeeeah

That seals it.  Now let's run up the score.

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 9:50 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

jeez

Laraque just destroyed Commodore.

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 9:52 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Great win

huge game.  One hell of a comeback in the third.  

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 10:01 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Too bad

The Devils AND Flyers both won tonight too.  Bah.

by FrankD on Feb 2, 2008 10:02 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Was

just about to say that. Doesn't help the Pens much but...the Sens lost! :)
