Ottawa Senators at Pittsburgh Penguins, Dec 23, 2009 7:00 PM EST
Well, seeing as this is the last Game Thread before Christmas, I want to wish each and every one of you here at PensBurgh a Merry Christmas! I hope you all have a great time with family and friends, as well as avoid the always awkward "wrong gift" scenario.
Again, hope you all have a great Christmas! Cheers, and Let's Go Pens!

There ya go Geno. He didn’t like that Post-Gaz article about his slump, obviously

What better way to follow up a PP than with a big PK?
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com and twitter.
With no penalty?

An all too rare first goal of the game for the Pens lately too.
You come at the king, you best not miss.
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com and twitter.
They just said only 3 goals for him in his last 22 games, all of which came in the same game.
He often has really long cold streaks like that.
You come at the king, you best not miss.

Damn, Sid just put one on a platter for Guerin right in front, but a nice save.
You come at the king, you best not miss.
Jeez, Adams loses a faceoff cleanly, Crosby and McKee get in the field of vision and the puck ends up in the net.
Not too much went right for the Pens there.
You come at the king, you best not miss.
I want to know why Crosby wasn’t taking the faceoff there. I realize that’s not his strong side, but he’s not in the top 10 in faceoffs by just winning draws on his stong side.
871
You answered you’re own question, it’s better to have a right-handed guy in Adams, who’s better in tha situation.
Crosby could have lost that just as easily and it would have been worse: the Pens wouldn’t have had their best chance to win.
You come at the king, you best not miss.
I didn’t get that last part, but as I said before, Crosby’s your best faceoff guy period. I think you trust him to win you a draw in your own zone over Adams.
871
He’s not the best in certain situations, like on his weak side in the defensive zone. Having Adams for the draw was, by the odds, the best bet. Despite the overall percentages, in this situation it was best.
You come at the king, you best not miss.
Pens new first line looking absolutely dominated with Skoula/Letang pairing looking very weak. And they took a penalty.
Bad, bad bad sequence.
You come at the king, you best not miss.
Clean hit.
Alfredsson was going for the puck, Adams was going to a shoulder check and he got sandwiched. The puck was there, not late or intent.
You come at the king, you best not miss.
What’s really sucks is it had nothingg to do with the goal either. It was away from the play
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com and twitter.
Get your head in the game Feds….Jesus.
Pardon my French.
Blew another great pass by 87 to 71 for the tap in.
Great play by Crosby to get up and play the puck after the cross check by the way.
871
I think it’s already been Crosby’s best passing game of the season.
You come at the king, you best not miss.
I doubt it will happen, but he’s on pace to face 72 shots at this rate. Although I think he made maybe 10 in the span of two minutes, so hopefully the defense doesn’t lapse like that in the next two periods
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com and twitter.
The look of that’s a really stupid question on Feds’ face and when he said “A Stanley Cup” when he was asked what he wanted for Christmas was priceless.
That almost makes up for the penalty…almost
871
Haha yeah that was great.
I was thinkin maybe he’s like an Orthodox religion and maybe this isn’t Christmas at all for him. But I really don’t know a lot about religious affiliations and traditions so I could be all wrong.
You come at the king, you best not miss.
we’re orthodox and we also celebrate Christmas on the 25th, but as far as I know in Russia it’s on the 7th of January
You have to see it for yourself...
Oh that’s cool, thanks for the info.
Fedotenko’s from the Ukraine, so I’m not sure what he may or may not celebrate.
You come at the king, you best not miss.
Also I’m kind of surprised in this very PC world that Steiggy didn’t apologize for his Hobey Baker off-handed joke/comments. I don’t think it’s a real big deal, but it’d be nice for him to acknowledge it was inappropriate.
You come at the king, you best not miss.
normally the rule of thumb with mistakes like that is to just pretend it didn’t happen
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com and twitter.
That’s usually my strategy in life, but thanks media mogul Frank!
You come at the king, you best not miss.
Alfredsson out for the rest of the night with a shoulder injury. Big blow for Ottawa.
You come at the king, you best not miss.
wow just saw a ridiculous hit in the Islanders game where the dude from the Leafs almost shaved off a layer of skin from the face of the Islanders’ Thompson

if you get On the Fly highlights I’m sure they’ll show it
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com and twitter.
should’ve also mentioned “with his skate” in that sentence somewhere

All these calls tonight on both sides of the puck have been pretty weak
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com and twitter.
not as good as the moves he made on Carrie Underwood
hiyo?

I wonder if Donovan and Cooke are going to fight at some point tonight.
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com and twitter.
the game has been so physical, it’s a surprise we haven’t had a fight yet
You have to see it for yourself...
Cooke is also the reason why Donovan missed 5 weeks.

I guarantee someone in the Ottawa locker room is gonna throw up during intermission, especially considering how badly they’re outshooting us.

So I did a little digging.
Most saves in a game by a Penguins goaltender – 57, on Marc 12, 1989 against the Blackhawks. I believe Tommy B
most saves in a period on home ice – 23, in January 1989
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com and twitter.
Could’ve also been Frank Pietrangelo on that record for most saves in a game too. Not sure. Don’t see a name listed

it seems like every time i look down for a second they score.

Beautiful Geno. Way to go Volchenkov, nice try

Fleury
Guerin
Kunitz
for right now, but who knows once it’s 10-1?

he’s killing my fantasy team. But Roloson has a shutout going for me too so far. So maybe I’ll manage a .400 SV% afterall
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com and twitter.
To answer Errey’s question:
Most points in a period (recently)
Evgeni Malkin 3g, 1a
(at NY Islanders, 11/26/08)
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com and twitter.
I’d lik to know what the time on attack was for that period. The Pens were dominating in Ottawa’s zone.

I would love it if
the Pens spent the 3rd trying to get Crosby and Malkin back in the scoring race, but I think they’ve gotta watch out for their heads.
871
Let is snow, let it snow, let it snow… :)
shame it’s not a hat night…
You have to see it for yourself...
Tonight’s actually Christmas stocking night. That could be interesting
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com and twitter.
But it would be really nice to see the 39 (40?) year old get the HT…Geno’s probably got about 15-20 left in his career.
871
Oh I’m not being picky. Either is fine by me. but sure, let’s get it to Billy G. He’s been on fire lately. I’m sure Geno is just happy to be out of his slump
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com and twitter.
When was the last Pens’ double HT? Dupuis and Sykora last season, when Sykora finally got his first?

Kinda relative to Steigy’s interview, but I’d recommend his book “The Hockey I Love.” It’s kinda dated but it’s cool because he wrote it during his playing days

Not quite as funny as three in the first two minutes of the philly game, but funny nonetheless.

eh, he can take it. He has before. Not much of a fighter. More of a punching bag

Sarge was sneaking around the net a couple of times before he finally got one

Rupp landed more punches, but went down first and cut his hand…

Welcome back Geno!
That’s three goals Crosby’s put on a platter…
The two headed monster looked like Thorton-Heatley on those two goals….

sounds like you made the right decision on those

I’m a bit surprised the Penguins have their top PP unit out there right now,. Seems like…overkill

guess they need as much real-time experience as they can get though

I imagine its just to try getting Mr G. #3.

But its not as if the #2 Unit has been particularly stellar.

Well, at least Mike Fisher will still be happy tonight….

Not to be overlooked, but Fleury ha stopped 41 so far

If he doesn’t get a star it will be a travesty. Just too bad there are only 3 to give out….

Fleury with another unreal save.
It reminds me that the only way the Senators got a goal was off the stick of a Penguin.
So that’s 9 goals off the sticks of Penguins.
