Minnesota Wild at Pittsburgh Penguins, Oct 31, 2009 7:30 PM EDT
Happy Halloween PensBurghers!
I'll be handing out the candy, and happily watching the game in HD thanks to my random Minnesota Wild FSN-WI TV connection. I'll be sadly having my third straight healthy scratch from Game Threading, but watching the game none the less!
Save me a fun size Twix, and let's go Pens!

Looks like we are in for a long night of Halloween puns.

Is that stat true? No team has ever done better than 22 points in October?

What exactly is the Wild’s mascot? Wildlife in general? Minnesota wildlife? Is that like Moose and bears and stuff?

I love the halloween costumes at Mellon. I am dressing up as a referee later tonight.

Crosby as Peter Pan when he was a kid? More ammo for the Crosby haters

I missed it… aghh..
But I’d imagine him being something like that. I can’t imagine crosby dressing up as something evil.

No worries, I’ll be uploading the Halloween segment with a few Pens as kids dressed up

You are amazing…
I was at the Habs / Hawks game last night and wanted to see an upclose replay of the hit (since I only saw it fast from the 300 section.) It’s like you intuit every video that I want.

You can thank Bla Razor for the heads up last night, so I dvr’d it last night and upped it this morning :-)

I noticed that at least half of your highlights video from last night was the 3rd period on. :)

A goal on only 3 shots is pretty horrible

This season it seems like Fleury does worse after they rest him

Fleury got screen by his own guy on that one.

Why in the hell do they not have someone in front of the net!!!!!!!!!
I swear the Penguins are the only team that doesn’t put people in front of the net. I’ll never understand that

I imagine this is what Philly felt like in game 4 last year.

Huh. Just noticed Guerin has the A on him in Malkin’s absence.

I kind of agree with the Minnesota announcers.. good that Crosby is trying to get the team fired up but now we have to play without him for seven minutes. Maybe not a good idea.
by Cari on Oct 31, 2009 9:03 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
agree there

Nor me when it comes to my highlight video :-(

You could just show the one goal and then halloween costumes in the crowd
by Cari on Oct 31, 2009 9:12 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
ah well, remember last night, if any team can turn it around in the 3rd, it’s this team.

That’s true. Maybe everything will come together in the last 3 minutes.

Well I’m getting tired of this lazy attitude they seem to have during the first 2 periods
by GhostWalker40 on Oct 31, 2009 9:18 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
it’s not lazy, the lines just don’t seem to be setteld yet, the injuries are really shaking those up.

Just got in from work and holy crap! We’ve out shot them twenty something to nine and we’re still trailing?! Yikes!

Ok, this game is so boring to someone, that they are actually knitting behind the Penguins bench, lol
by GhostWalker40 on Oct 31, 2009 9:25 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Ok now score about 3 or 4 goals, show them who’s boss!

Time for yet another third period comeback.

Alright. Powerplay. This is it, right here.

Remember when Malkin heroically dived to keep the puck in the offensive zone. I miss him.
by Cari on Oct 31, 2009 9:33 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, there’s a definite vacuum in his absence.

What happened? Did Letang and Sykora fight or something?
by Cari on Oct 31, 2009 9:39 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Sykora high-sticked Letang; not sure what Letang did.
by OlenWhitaker on Oct 31, 2009 9:40 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Refs don’t want to give the Pens an advantage against a crappy team so they had to give Letang 2 mins

That’s the story of the night. Choas around the net, but nothing goes in.

For real… that’s happened like five times.

Argh! Thought we had one there. Nice hit by Orpik.

On the bright side it’s a nice review for my Halloween costume tonight

Ok, what happened that time? What were the penalties?
by OlenWhitaker on Oct 31, 2009 9:45 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Shots 34-13 and we’re still losing?! How?! Why?!
by OlenWhitaker on Oct 31, 2009 9:49 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
one word: Backstrom

Pens let in two crap shots, and Minnesota has denied us on a lot of great chances.
by Cari on Oct 31, 2009 9:51 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Lazy passing and puck support, and Backstrom.
by SlayerGhaleon on Oct 31, 2009 9:53 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
This has nothing to do with Backstrom. Penguins aren’t getting very good shots on him & he’s making easy saves
by GhostWalker40 on Oct 31, 2009 9:54 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Last three minutes
Come on team it’s your time to shine

Wow. It stings to lose with such a shot advantage. Oh, well. Every team has this kind of night. A few bad bounces, one or twoo soft goals and this can be the result.

Revised season prediction: 79-3-0
by OlenWhitaker on Oct 31, 2009 10:02 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
That was a total joke but then again, this back to back crap is bs.
Maybe they’ll play better with a little rest.
