With all the injuries, starting the back up scares me.

I feel pretty confident with Johnson in net. He’s done very well, and the team is certainly motivated to play well in front of him.

11 shots so far. I think the Pens look way better than any other game during this tough stretch. That was a lame goal no doubt but hardly Johnson’s fault. I think you blame Eaton there.

Baby Pens are getting trained on by the bears. 2-0, John D’Aversa knocked one behind a helpless John Curry and Karl Alzner cranked one from the goalline. Aaron Boogard and Tim Wallace dropped the gloves, but got thrashed. I’ve been impressed by Ryan Bayda. Where is Eric Tangradi though. Anyway, GO BEARS and BIG PENS.

awesome deflection by sid!
and, call me technical, but how did sid not get an assist on the first goal? i could’ve sworn he deflected it with his skate to geno.
