Pittsburgh Penguins at Boston Bruins, Nov 10, 2009 7:00 PM EST
This one, as noted, is on Versus. Which means I get to utilize this again! (too soon? no? I agree.) Don't worry, he invented this to make sure that never happens to anyone ever again.
That said, this could be a rough one. We're pretty banged up, and coming off a west coast road trip to take on the always physical Bruins. Still, I'm optimistic. They're pretty banged up themselves. Besides, if we drop this one my professor, a Boston maniac who's wicked smaaaat, will rue my next class for sure because I trash talked, to which he somehow never graded my paper for two weeks. Hmm..
Anyway! Cheers, and Lets Go Pens!

i;m watching this one, it isn’t very good at all… but I cannot seem to find another one.

Found this feed. Note: requires download and installation of a program called Sopcast, but it doesn’t seem suspicious or dangerous. Also, the feed is pretty good.

I downloaded sopcast on my last computer, it gave me many problems. I’m not very computer savvy though.

i never had any problems with sopcast personally, watched the last few pacquiao fights with that and it worked pretty good.

Yay Orpik’s hurting now, yay.

At least Engylland doesn't look that bad.
Is it Lovejoy or Guenin next?

To get injured? Probably both at this rate. I’m a bit cautious to wear my Pens jersey on that basis.

Yeah this could be one of those nights Pittsburgh might need it.
Shots are 9-2 Bruins currently.

I think Crosby could go under the bridge on Chara, little slide move between his legs.
by AngelaMc on Nov 10, 2009 7:35 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
He should try to leap over him like Hines Ward.

I had to google Hines Ward, lol, never seen it, but am putting some imagery in my mind.
by AngelaMc on Nov 10, 2009 7:40 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
He jumped over a Denver Bronco to score a touchdown last night. :)

That was awesome. I wouldn’t want to see that in skates though, I see blood.
by AngelaMc on Nov 10, 2009 7:47 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
He'd wind up leaping into Chara's arms.
Chara would likely then proceed to throw him into the stands.

Well, they’re actually showing some energy to fight for the puck tonight, but they’re still not getting any kind of decent look at the net.
I’m beginning to wonder if teams have figured out the team’s system at this point.
by SlayerGhaleon on Nov 10, 2009 7:36 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
But then again, It’s not rocket science, it’s just hockey. I think teams have basically always known what the Penguins want to do. But when they have better players, they can obviously control the puck and play better.
When those player are hurt and they have lesser guys, they have worse execution and the opponent’s can clamp down on Crosby.

Fleury played well and they stayed out of the box. Nice receipe not to get scored on. Now if they could just get one on the power-play…

Versus didn’t give an update on Orpik (in their defense they’re probably too clueless to notice anything, but I paused my TV and counted counted one less player on the bench than their should have been (yes, I accounted for the backup goalie and the players on the ice!)

I noticed when he went down behind the net, got up really slowly, and hunched in front of the net until he could get off. I was about to post that I saw this but figured it was in my head due to all the injuries lately and that he would be back out soon.

I still have my toes crossed for Orpik (to free up my fingers so I can type).

No reports yet….He got taken into the boards behind the net, appeared to be a routine play but he was doubled over. They did replay it, hard to see where he might have gotten stung at, could be anything really.

Looks like Sid has missed Geno the past few games.

They don’t play much at even-strength together.
The power-play’s doubtlessly missed Geno.

I hope they don’t feel too demoralized over the injury situation and the goal. I’m sure they are thinking about Orpik and the insane disadvantage they have with these injuries… but they need to focus and try to win anyway.

I agree. You can tell he’s working hard but he and his new linemates don’t quite have it together. He needs TK at his side.

Well, that was much better, although they totally wasted that two on one.

…or this weekend. Long season though. Nobody should be thinking this is the way it’s going to be for any long period of time. All our key scorers, who are healthy, are even dinged, but they heavily suffer from the other losses happening.
Again, stupid injuries and your injuring ways!
