Good, Gogo’s in. I don’t think we could handle another injury.

Didn’t look like Fleury had a clue where the puck was.
He’s trying to play the puck again and someone should tell him he sucks at it
by GhostWalker40 on Nov 7, 2009 10:49 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
He’s by far one of the worst puck-handling goaltenders around. There’s a level of confidence when someone like, say, Brodeur goes to play the puck. But when MAF does it you just sit on the edge of your seat praying he gets it out of there.

A lotta bit. For as much as some people may be bashing MAF for his puck handling I think we also have to give him credit for being everywhere right now. This isn’t a healthy way of getting by. If it comes down to him making ridiculously awesome saves in front of the net but letting in goals like the one he let up, I’m going to need some sedatives to get to sleep tonight.

I’ve always felt that teams make little milestones against the pens all the time – like Carey Price’s first win, Al Arbour’s milestone win, John Tavares first goal….you know, things like that. So I wouldn’t be surprised if a guy will come back from, say, a 40-game injury and score a hatty against the Pens.

Nice to see the first line get close… Crosby and his line need to step up big time in this situation.

Am I the only one who misses when Crosby used to be able to go through 4 defenders and score a goal with somewhat regularity in his second season? He’s never been quite the same offensively since that long injury.

It’s disheartening but as Hooks noted the other day, you almost have to wonder if Crosby is hurt. He didn’t look like he had much jump to his step either on that Nabokov save too.

There’s no sense in playing hurt & just making things worse.
I have a feeling that the Pens are at the start of a downward spiral, so he might as well sit out now while everyone else is
by GhostWalker40 on Nov 7, 2009 11:18 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I wouldn’t say downward spiral because you have to remember it’s not like they’re losing with the team they started the season with. A lot of holes on this roster right now and with Letang going down now you almost have to wonder what the hell is going on. But i agree – sitting Crosby when the team is still at the top of the Atlantic isn’t the same as sitting a guy when the Pens are at the bottom of the division. It’s early. They can afford to do it me thinks.

you can’t blame Fleury for everything. Look at him flopping all around the net right now making saves. It’s not like he’s playing poorly (minus that first one of course). Maybe he’ll need a rest, but you can’t say his play is reasoning for a benching

My friend is a Thrashers fan. Goes down to Philips a few times a year and always talks about how cheap tix are there too. Southeast hockey isn’t very strong, but of all the teams down there I’d say Atlanta is losing the least money. There owners own the Hawks and the arena itself, so it’s kinda hard to lose money when you don’t have to pay a lease. Smart management as far as I’m concerned.

I think the Pens are just finishing off some checks right now. I don’t think they’re sending a message or anything since these two teams don’t play all that much but it’s gonna be a scrappy finish to this one

Ouch, McKee. Not a good way to fall. Come on man. That’s all the Pens need now is another injury

And now a four minute PK.
Glad I got that wine.

so wait a second, this just hit me.
Pens came into this game with six D-men.
Letang got hurt.
McKee got kicked.
So that leaves four defensemen, one of which is reportedly fighting the flu. Not good

I used to work for a minor league baseball team’s radio division. At one point they were on a 15-game losing streak but had to abide by the “play of the game” sponsor no matter what. I swear, sometimes it was something as simple as a line drive catch or a groundout back to the pitcher. Sometimes you really just have to force it.

BTW, I read something on twitter the other day (take it for face value), but someone mentioned Miro Satan again. Yes, no, maybe?
I vote for no, even for league minimum. I don’t think the Penguins’ good fortune can be fixed by bringing someone in, it’s just about trying to maintain through the injuries.

No, they just need to get better. Tonight we had TK, Gonchar, Talbot, and Geno out… then Fleury was pulled, Letang got hurt, and McKee got a misconduct. GoGo is sick and Crosby looks injured.
Basically we lost half the team. No excuses, etc… we should expect better from the group that remains. But mainly we just need these players to get better.

I agree on all those accounts (and the ones above from GW40 and Razor). Half this team is really banged up pretty bad right now. Unfortunately this is just one of those sit and wait sort of situations.

Perhaps. Maybe if he elbowed and destroyed all four of the Pens then he’d be worthy of the label “beast.”
