They are getting harder and harder to find.

Yeah, “the Man” seems to be cracking down. Bummer.

by OlenWhitaker on Dec 12, 2009 7:42 PM EST up reply actions

Yeah I caved and bought gamecenter… I know that I’m giving in to their sinister plan, but I was sick of crappy unreliable feeds. It was easier last year.

by Cari on Dec 12, 2009 7:42 PM EST up reply actions

Kunitz IS in.

“Malkin seems determined tonight.” I agree. I predict a Geno goal or a big setup.

How in the hell was that not a hook on the Sid head-man pass?

by JustinM on Dec 12, 2009 7:48 PM EST reply actions

Oh, right, because Sid didn’t do anything to bring it to the ref’s attention. Johnny Cochrane says, “If he doesn’t fall, there can be no call!”

Thanks.

YW. It’s Florida’s Broadcast team, but better then nothing.

This “city of champions” commercial just makes me sad now that the Steelers’ season is essentially over.

Remember when Dan Bylsma visited the Steelers training camp to learn from Mike Tomlin? The Penguins coaches were there to learn how to keep your team focused after a championship. Next year the Steelers should visit the Penguins.

by Cari on Dec 12, 2009 7:51 PM EST reply actions

And THAT was a call? I see it’s going to be one of those nights.

by JustinM on Dec 12, 2009 7:51 PM EST reply actions

Yeah who forgot to pay the refs… yuck.

by Cari on Dec 12, 2009 7:52 PM EST up reply actions

Fortunately, the Panthers power play

lacks bite.

Oh?

by JustinM on Dec 12, 2009 7:53 PM EST up reply actions

Ughhhhhhhhhhh

by Cari on Dec 12, 2009 7:54 PM EST reply actions

we can’t just let them have 3 whacks at the puck right in front of the net… damn!

You have to see it for yourself...

by Bla Razor on Dec 12, 2009 7:56 PM EST up reply actions

I like how Kunitz waited until everyone was covered AND there was a guy in his shooting lane to try to do anything with that puck. Ugh

by JustinM on Dec 12, 2009 7:56 PM EST reply actions

Dupper!

by tehchico on Dec 12, 2009 7:59 PM EST reply actions

I CAN HAS HANDS?

by JustinM on Dec 12, 2009 7:59 PM EST reply actions

GOAL!

Duper!

by OlenWhitaker on Dec 12, 2009 7:59 PM EST reply actions

The hand transplant was a success!

by OlenWhitaker on Dec 12, 2009 7:59 PM EST up reply actions

he just seems to get used to them more and more:)))

You have to see it for yourself...

by Bla Razor on Dec 12, 2009 8:00 PM EST up reply actions

WOOOOO!

You have to see it for yourself...

by Bla Razor on Dec 12, 2009 7:59 PM EST reply actions

DUPUIS!

by Cari on Dec 12, 2009 7:59 PM EST reply actions

Johnson…. no….

by Cari on Dec 12, 2009 8:07 PM EST reply actions

That really should have been a double-minor on Geno. We got lucky on that one.

by OlenWhitaker on Dec 12, 2009 8:08 PM EST reply actions

Looks like we didn’t get lucky after all. Oh, well. It’s fair.

by OlenWhitaker on Dec 12, 2009 8:09 PM EST up reply actions

FSN Pittsburgh missed it completely. What happened?

by Cari on Dec 12, 2009 8:10 PM EST up reply actions

Okay they finally caught on and showed it.

by Cari on Dec 12, 2009 8:10 PM EST up reply actions

That looked nasty.

by JustinM on Dec 12, 2009 8:11 PM EST up reply actions

yes, Geno seems to have a bit of a knack for nasty retaliation panalties

You have to see it for yourself...

by Bla Razor on Dec 12, 2009 8:13 PM EST up reply actions

You’d think that would play as a deterrent, but not really. (Exactly why I don’t believe goons are a deterrent at all.)

by JustinM on Dec 12, 2009 8:14 PM EST up reply actions

While Malkin is serving a double minor, let us remind you that his medallion comes out tomorrow…

by Cari on Dec 12, 2009 8:12 PM EST reply actions

I only saw about half of it, but that looked like an okay period. Not great, but okay.

by OlenWhitaker on Dec 12, 2009 8:15 PM EST reply actions

could we possibly score on the PP???

by Randy F on Dec 12, 2009 8:32 PM EST reply actions

Ha! Hahahahha…

Oh, you were serious.

by JustinM on Dec 12, 2009 8:33 PM EST up reply actions

On every PP the Pens should take a penalty to give themselves a better chance to score. ;-)

by tehchico on Dec 12, 2009 8:35 PM EST reply actions

Another anemic powerplay. Even the Panthers commentators were remarking on how bad our PP was compared to the talent we have.

by OlenWhitaker on Dec 12, 2009 8:36 PM EST reply actions

Fleury with a headset

Cute. They should give one to Godard too.

by Cari on Dec 12, 2009 8:37 PM EST reply actions

Fleury is so indulgent with the press. One of the things I like about him — he’s always friendly to reporters and tries to be insightful, even after loss.

Just lost my feed.

by OlenWhitaker on Dec 12, 2009 8:38 PM EST reply actions

Got it back.

by OlenWhitaker on Dec 12, 2009 8:40 PM EST up reply actions

Free candy!

by OlenWhitaker on Dec 12, 2009 8:42 PM EST reply actions

Well, even if Malkin’s not scoring, his touch at stealing the puck away from people is still just fine, thank you.

by JustinM on Dec 12, 2009 8:44 PM EST reply actions

by JustinM on Dec 12, 2009 8:47 PM EST reply actions

about time… man

by tehchico on Dec 12, 2009 8:48 PM EST reply actions

GOOAAAAAAALL

Tenk at last!:)

You have to see it for yourself...

by Bla Razor on Dec 12, 2009 8:48 PM EST reply actions

Wow look at Feds right after the goal — it looked like a huge sigh of relief.

by Cari on Dec 12, 2009 8:48 PM EST reply actions

I’m very very happy for him.

by Cari on Dec 12, 2009 8:49 PM EST up reply actions

And Malkin picked up an assist. That probably felt pretty decent for him, too.

by JustinM on Dec 12, 2009 8:50 PM EST up reply actions

yeah, noticed it too… good one

You have to see it for yourself...

by Bla Razor on Dec 12, 2009 8:50 PM EST up reply actions

Awesome. A goal and, as usual, I had stepped away.

by OlenWhitaker on Dec 12, 2009 8:49 PM EST reply actions

he did look relieved that he finally got one..

by Randy F on Dec 12, 2009 8:49 PM EST reply actions

Again, an okay period. Not great, but adequate.

by OlenWhitaker on Dec 12, 2009 9:06 PM EST reply actions

I thought it was better than the second, though they are still a little sloppy in the defensive zone, and the power play… well…

by Cari on Dec 12, 2009 9:10 PM EST up reply actions

I choose to pretend that the PP is just more 5 on 5 time and thus can be ignored.

by JustinM on Dec 12, 2009 9:16 PM EST up reply actions

Wow, that was a hell of a shove by Adams.

by JustinM on Dec 12, 2009 9:08 PM EST reply actions

I’m getting a little bit concerned that the flyers will not make the playoffs… we need them to barely make it so that we can defeat them gloriously again.

by Cari on Dec 12, 2009 9:15 PM EST reply actions

not me…I just love it that the cryers are getting whooped on again…

by Randy F on Dec 12, 2009 9:20 PM EST reply actions

Noted…. no….

by Cari on Dec 12, 2009 9:27 PM EST reply actions

Great first save. Why was there none of our guys there? Where were we? Our PP sucks!

by OlenWhitaker on Dec 12, 2009 9:30 PM EST reply actions

can’t find words to describe how bad it is…

You have to see it for yourself...

by Bla Razor on Dec 12, 2009 9:31 PM EST up reply actions

The Florida guys are ripping on our powerplay “they just stand around.” Tragically true.

by OlenWhitaker on Dec 12, 2009 9:31 PM EST reply actions

Ugh

I bet Johnson feels dread every time we go on the PP

by Cari on Dec 12, 2009 9:31 PM EST reply actions

Uh, oh. We’re getting a powerplay. Looks like we’ll be going down 3-2.

by OlenWhitaker on Dec 12, 2009 9:33 PM EST reply actions

Okay now the Panthers are definitely taking penalties on purpose to get more scoring chances.

by Cari on Dec 12, 2009 9:34 PM EST reply actions

another PP chance….can we just decline the penalty?

by Randy F on Dec 12, 2009 9:34 PM EST reply actions

Anyone going to a game soon? We need to start carrying “FIRE YEO” signs like they used to do for Matt Millen in Detroit (Lions).

by JustinM on Dec 12, 2009 9:34 PM EST reply actions

I am off to a holiday party, wearing (somewhat inappropriately) my Malkin shirt in support. Hopefully when I get my text from the mobile alert club it will be good news. Bye everyone!
