Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Florida Panthers [Open Thread]
Pittsburgh Penguins at Florida Panthers, Nov 23, 2009 7:30 PM EST
I do believe the Panthers are dishing out a new uniform in this game. Don't know about you, but them having a baby blue kind of look doesn't seem right.
Anywho, enough about the aesthetics. Cheers, and Let's Go Pens!

Good evening people, I’m stoked for a repeat of the Pens first 40 minutes against Atlanta.

Malkin’s also tried his “Carolina play” where he wins the puck forward to himself almost every time in the offensive zone. I don’t think I’ll ever mind watching him try it, you know he’s got the skill to occasionally pull it off.

It’s like the bastard love child of the Blues and the Chargers, but only if they stuck random suns and “FLA” all over the place. Like we wouldn’t be able to tell a jersey with those color combination comes from Florida.
Alternatively, it looks like the Tar Heels’ dark blue football jersey converted to hockey.

I don’t have a problem with dirty goals. I have a problem when the team time and time again have games where they show little to no effort to get any decent scoring chances, and have to rely on lucky bounces like that to get a goal.
In other words, with the way the Pens are playing right now, if Florida doesn’t win this game, I will be very surprised
