MINNESOTA WILD vs. PITTSBURGH PENGUINS

IN PITTSBURGH @ 7:30pm ET

RADIO FEED ON WXDX.com

 

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?

by SlayerGhaleon on Oct 31, 2009 7:34 PM EDT reply actions  

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

by Cari on Oct 31, 2009 7:44 PM EDT reply actions  

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

by Cari on Oct 31, 2009 7:55 PM EDT reply actions  

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

by GhostWalker40 on Oct 31, 2009 7:56 PM EDT reply actions  

That was crosby in the halloween picture??

I missed it… aghh..

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

by Cari on Oct 31, 2009 7:59 PM EDT up reply actions  

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

by GhostWalker40 on Oct 31, 2009 8:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

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.

by Cari on Oct 31, 2009 8:01 PM EDT up reply actions  

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

Damn

Note to self: Just watch 3rd periods from now on

by GhostWalker40 on Oct 31, 2009 7:59 PM EDT reply actions  

now there’s an idea.

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

by Cari on Oct 31, 2009 8:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

A goal on only 3 shots is pretty horrible

by GhostWalker40 on Oct 31, 2009 8:01 PM EDT up reply actions  

that was when the pens actually showd up

Wow, some really weak goals being let in

by GhostWalker40 on Oct 31, 2009 8:12 PM EDT reply actions  

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

by Cari on Oct 31, 2009 8:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

Fleury got screen by his own guy on that one.

by SlayerGhaleon on Oct 31, 2009 8:14 PM EDT reply actions  

NYI up 2-0 against Buffalo, there turning things around.

Good lord, Backstrom is a f-ing wall.

by SlayerGhaleon on Oct 31, 2009 8:42 PM EDT reply actions  

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

by GhostWalker40 on Oct 31, 2009 8:44 PM EDT reply actions  

Agreed… I am painting my nails.

by Cari on Oct 31, 2009 8:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

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

by SlayerGhaleon on Oct 31, 2009 8:56 PM EDT reply actions  

Well look who has to fight to get things going

by GhostWalker40 on Oct 31, 2009 8:59 PM EDT reply actions  

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

by SlayerGhaleon on Oct 31, 2009 9:01 PM EDT reply actions  

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  

agree there

a pp without Gonch, geno and Sid, sigh.

Sigh… this game is not getting me stoked for halloween.

by Cari on Oct 31, 2009 9:07 PM EDT reply actions  

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

by GhostWalker40 on Oct 31, 2009 9:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

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  

ah well, remember last night, if any team can turn it around in the 3rd, it’s this team.

by Sid the captain on Oct 31, 2009 9:09 PM EDT reply actions  

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

by Cari on Oct 31, 2009 9:17 PM EDT up reply actions  

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  

it’s not lazy, the lines just don’t seem to be setteld yet, the injuries are really shaking those up.

by Sid the captain on Oct 31, 2009 9:23 PM EDT up reply actions  

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

by OlenWhitaker on Oct 31, 2009 9:21 PM EDT reply actions  

Yeah it’s been a maddening game

by Cari on Oct 31, 2009 9:31 PM EDT up reply actions  

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  

Ok now score about 3 or 4 goals, show them who’s boss!

by GhostWalker40 on Oct 31, 2009 9:26 PM EDT reply actions  

Time for yet another third period comeback.

by OlenWhitaker on Oct 31, 2009 9:27 PM EDT reply actions  

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  

Yeah, there’s a definite vacuum in his absence.

by OlenWhitaker on Oct 31, 2009 9:34 PM EDT up reply actions  

What happened? Did Letang and Sykora fight or something?

by Cari on Oct 31, 2009 9:39 PM EDT reply actions  

Sykora high-sticked Letang; not sure what Letang did.

by OlenWhitaker on Oct 31, 2009 9:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

Refs don’t want to give the Pens an advantage against a crappy team so they had to give Letang 2 mins

by GhostWalker40 on Oct 31, 2009 9:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

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

by SlayerGhaleon on Oct 31, 2009 9:42 PM EDT reply actions  

For real… that’s happened like five times.

by Cari on Oct 31, 2009 9:42 PM EDT up reply actions  

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

by OlenWhitaker on Oct 31, 2009 9:42 PM EDT reply actions  

4 on 4 again, seemed to work the last time

Wow, now they are giving penalties for people arguing with each other.

by GhostWalker40 on Oct 31, 2009 9:44 PM EDT reply actions  

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

by Cari on Oct 31, 2009 9:45 PM EDT up reply actions  

Ok, what happened that time? What were the penalties?

by OlenWhitaker on Oct 31, 2009 9:45 PM EDT reply actions  

Ack! Backstrom is killing us!

by OlenWhitaker on Oct 31, 2009 9:46 PM EDT reply actions  

Shots 34-13 and we’re still losing?! How?! Why?!

by OlenWhitaker on Oct 31, 2009 9:49 PM EDT reply actions  

one word: Backstrom

There is a knack to flying: it's learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

by Sid the captain on Oct 31, 2009 9:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

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  

Lazy passing and puck support, and Backstrom.

by SlayerGhaleon on Oct 31, 2009 9:53 PM EDT up reply actions  

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  

Last three minutes

Come on team it’s your time to shine

by Cari on Oct 31, 2009 9:56 PM EDT reply actions  

Damn

How we lost this is beyond me

by Sid the captain on Oct 31, 2009 10:01 PM EDT reply actions  

Well that was depressing

by Cari on Oct 31, 2009 10:01 PM EDT reply actions  

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.

by OlenWhitaker on Oct 31, 2009 10:01 PM EDT reply actions  

Revised season prediction: 79-3-0

by OlenWhitaker on Oct 31, 2009 10:02 PM EDT up reply actions  

That was a total joke but then again, this back to back crap is bs.

Maybe they’ll play better with a little rest.
