Bylsma decided to scratch Letestu and play Godard tonight. One of the few times I disagree with his decision, but it’s about the 12th forward for crying out loud.

by Hooks Orpik on Dec 7, 2009 7:38 PM EST reply actions  

I wonder if it’s because Letestu is a center and they already have three?

by Cari on Dec 7, 2009 7:41 PM EST up reply actions  

Yeah, I’m sure that had a lot to do with it, but they could have slid Craig Adams (who’s played a lot of wing) over and used Letestu as the 4 line center.

I’ve got a glass of water that says Geno scores tonight. He usually does against the Canes.

I think it’s partly because he’s good at scoring against Cam Ward, so we’ll see if that holds tonight. But I think you’re right.

I’m upset (not that I’m a huge fan, but from a use-of-football-smarts POV) that the Pitt RB who scored the last touchdown didn’t realize why Cincinnati was letting him score so easily. If he’d have taken a knee on the one yard line that game was as good as over.

Okay, Flower just made up for it.

Big save by Fleury for redemption after Letang got trapped in the zone and again some questionable defense by Staal. Guess that’s why he’s a center.

This is bullshit.

Based on the chat logs it seems that someone is going around shutting feeds down as fast as they go up. Utter bullshit. If you’re the league don’t you want people to be able to see the game? If you’re the TV station, don’t you want me to see your ads? Utter bullshit. Sounds like Billy G pounded someone. I feel like doing the same right about now.

I hear ya. I used to not be able to get Versus, so any Pens games there I couldn’t watch without a feed. But even though I used feeds and even though I sympathize, it still doesn’t make what they do legal in any way.

by JustinM on Dec 7, 2009 8:14 PM EST up reply actions  

The NHL still has a long way to go before they make games reasonably priced and accessible for fans who don’t live in the city.

I pay for Gamecenter so I watch games legally, but I don’t have cable and so I can’t watch Versus or NHL network games without another (much bigger) monthly bill that I can’t afford. So I’m going to be very upset when the playoffs happen and many games are on versus.

And, my sister lives in Cleveland and she literally can’t have gamecenter because Cleveland is blacked out on every Pens game because the Ohio station has the rights — even though they never exercise those rights and Pens games are never on TV there.

Yeah, it’s not right and it’s hurting the NHL. They need to accept and embrace the new reality that people move all over the country while staying loyal to one team. And, people will pay something for these games if you let them — but if they aren’t available, or the price is too high, they will just keep trying to watch for free or give up entirely.

I think Yahoo has occasional (league approved) video — tonight it looks like Calgary at LA Don’t hold me to this, but I think they do this on playoffs, which would improve your odds.

But again I don’t know that for 100% fact or not….Plus I think they only have like 1 random game per night, so it’s not reliable

The way I see it, I already have payed for the game. Everytime I watch an ad during the TV timeouts, I’m paying for the game. When I shelled out a pile of cash this summer for commemorative memorabilia celebrating the Stanley Cup win, I paid for the game. When I paid god damn $300 for a god damn jersey to show the world my loyalty to a team I now can’t even watch, I paid for the god damn game!

Yes, it’s progress.

Bring signs to games calling him Noted.

by ipenguin67 on Dec 7, 2009 9:27 PM EST up reply actions  

Oooh, good idea. If I ever manage to score tickets again this year, I’m doing it.

by JustinM on Dec 7, 2009 9:30 PM EST up reply actions  

Need some 3rd period magic……

by Randy F on Dec 7, 2009 9:27 PM EST reply actions  

That looked like a power play for a minute.

by OlenWhitaker on Dec 7, 2009 9:33 PM EST reply actions  

Terrible no-call there.

by JustinM on Dec 7, 2009 9:34 PM EST reply actions  

Huh, and suddenly there’s a call. Was it a make-up call or was there an actual penalty?

by JustinM on Dec 7, 2009 9:35 PM EST up reply actions  

It just hit me.

How brilliant is it that we’ve taken the Devils’ enforcer and reformed him into a top-six power forward for us? That’s just…awesome.

Hey, an out is an out - unless you're Mario, in which case it's probably two outs. -UtesFan89

Why can't Mendy bust a long TD run? We could use it.

A noted top-six power forward, I forgot to add.

It’s funny, we’ve been referring to Rupp and Sid as ‘our top two scorers’ for a couple of weeks and now, improbably, they really are our top scorers.

Haha at Hines Ward-Max Talbot cereal commercial.

It’s cute, but they should have aired it earlier this year, since the Steelers are now on a downward spiral. It’s an awkward time for a “champions” cereal.

The puck went up his pants…hilarious.

by OlenWhitaker on Dec 7, 2009 9:40 PM EST reply actions  

I’m calling a Staal shorty right now.

by ipenguin67 on Dec 7, 2009 9:41 PM EST reply actions  

I had that feeling too

by Cari on Dec 7, 2009 9:42 PM EST up reply actions  

another failed PP. I just can not figure out with the talent the Pens have that we can not scored with the man advantage.

by Randy F on Dec 7, 2009 9:42 PM EST reply actions  

Why can’t our power play be like theirs?

go pens!

Hah…Steigy just said “Juicy Jokinen”.

Nice save to keep us in this one.

by OlenWhitaker on Dec 7, 2009 9:44 PM EST reply actions  

“Juicy” Jokinen? Really, Steiggy?

by JustinM on Dec 7, 2009 9:44 PM EST reply actions  

He’s been doing that all game.

by ipenguin67 on Dec 7, 2009 9:44 PM EST reply actions  

“The wizard of Cros?” Nice.

by OlenWhitaker on Dec 7, 2009 9:44 PM EST reply actions  

actually Carolina’s PP% is worse than ours.. they are 29th. we’re 28th (and falling fast)

by Randy F on Dec 7, 2009 9:44 PM EST reply actions  

Eh, if we continually hold Carolina off the board on the PP, we can’t pass them (or is it them passing us? Either way).

End of the second period was the worst thing that could’ve happened. The team is asleep again.

by SlayerGhaleon on Dec 7, 2009 9:47 PM EST reply actions  

guess we’ll have to wait for yeo to draw up another play with the goalie pulled to tie this one up…

by Randy F on Dec 7, 2009 9:48 PM EST reply actions  

Strong play by Staal there.

by OlenWhitaker on Dec 7, 2009 9:50 PM EST reply actions  

Might be the biggest mistake I’ve seen Skoula make so far.

by JustinM on Dec 7, 2009 9:52 PM EST reply actions  

I can’t believe we’re still behind. I was sure we would have a goal by now.

by Cari on Dec 7, 2009 9:58 PM EST reply actions  

Another Yeo miracle play in the works?

by OlenWhitaker on Dec 7, 2009 9:58 PM EST reply actions  

Needs to make up for his substandard PP

by Hooks Orpik on Dec 7, 2009 9:59 PM EST up reply actions  

If this works maybe they can tell him he’s been promoted to “empty net coach” and get someone else for the PP

by Cari on Dec 7, 2009 10:00 PM EST up reply actions  

Damn, a good finish but no dice.

Oh man. I thought Sid poked that one in for sure. Damn.

In our latest escapade of giving a team or player their first, we give the worst team in the league their first road win.

Figures.
