NOTES
Marc-Andre Fleury may get the back-to-back start.
Mike McKenna expected for the Lightning.
There's something about the Lightning that the Pens just can't crack. Up until last season Tampa was victorious in 12 straight. 12 straight. In the only other meeting of the season, back on 12/23 (ie. the nightmare before Christmas), the Lightning shutout the Pens 2-0.

Looks like both teams are looking to fly tonight. Time for the PP to get something going early here. Thanks for the penalty Recchi

Looks like the Pens didn’t scratch Satan after all. Minard and Goligoski are on the bench instead.

Gamecenter is driving me nuts over the past couple of weeks, what the heck, it worked so good and now it is crap., ugh, crap, team not doing well, Gamecenter not doing well, eeehhh, big whine.
Everything is falling apart. It’s up to you to turn this around. Make gamecenter work. If gamecenter works then the Pens will win.

Oh man, that would explain why they didn’t bench Satan tonight. His 1000th game

haha exactly. Maybe it’ll wake him up. Of course we’ll never know until the Pens kill off these penalties.

Missed it, thx gamecenter, I am on hold with their help me please pple now, I will settle for nothing less than free stuff.
I had issues with center ice last season and got reimbursed for 8 games.

That was close to being a too many men on the ice penalty

I’d like to see Sid get hit, take a penalty or screw up and just skate back to the bench. Stop crying, stop talking to the refs. Just skate to the bench. Is it too much to ask for?

Jeez. At least they kept it exciting to the very last second. What a horrible first period. Time to turn it around in the second

That was the most non resolution phone call I ever made, guy said
‘yeah, we know about the problem, it sucks, i’m a hockey fan too, but there is nothing that I can do’ ok so my response was ‘why would I pay for something that is broken?’ nothing, ‘uh, yeah I don’t know what to say, we should have it resolved bt the end of the week’ END OF THE WEEK, this has been happening for more than a week, where are your clever computer people who make big bucks to fix shit? ’ We are here they are in Florida, I think they are doing stuff’ O.k I am feeling better now cuz you THINK they are doing stuff, good.
That’s part of the reason why I decided to get Center Ice instead. The Internet thing still seemed too fresh and susceptible to bugs

not to mention, when the NHL decided to give a free trial of the online system, it wasn’t working properly that night either. Growing pains I suggest

If they don’t score here I’m afraid they won’t score at all tonight
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com
Wow – so much passing. That ate up 30 seconds of the 5-on-3 and then the Pens cleared the zone themselves. Ugly

Time out. 0-5 on the PP at halfway through the second!? I don’t expect to be 0-5 until the game is over…
Yeah they’ve had way more chances than normal and they’re doing nothing about it
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com
Not to state the obvious or anything, but every shot the Pens take it just hits McKenna wherever he is
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com
True, but at least they’re not giving up any shorties.
…yet
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com
Yeah, i try not to look at that right now. But the resounding fact is the Pens have to go 18-10-2 over the next 30 games if they want a chance of making the playoffs. Right now that’s looking like 18-9-2

There’s no defense. No effort. No grind. You can’t even blame this all on Fleury because frankly he has NO help back there. The other night against the Habs he faced nearly twice as many shots as Price with 1/3 the defense.

If anything, Godard should destroy Koci before the night is over

0 for 6 on the PP? Scramble, all over the place, bad choices, bad shots, no shots, bad passes, the list goes on… I honestly don’t think that there is a single thing that will fix this broken team right now. I am not writing them off just yet but they are not hungry, there is no fix for lack of hunger.
long time lisener 1st time caller … really just needed some where to vent … the pens look real bad … anything?? Terrian? Flurey? defense?
Hey welcome. You’re always welcome to vent here. It’s kinda like a group therapy session lately anyways.

They got into this rookie’s head. Time for Pitt to capitalize on the power play. And at none other than Gary Roberts’ expense? WWGRD?! He’d take a stupid penalty.
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com
Oh I’m sure he did, and he did a mighty fine job at that. But Roberts was out for blood
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com
It’s nice to get the point and all, but I don’t think I’d be happy with anything less than a win here
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com
I have this discomforting thought of Recchi on the shootout.
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com
I’m pleasantly surprised that after an hour of homework this game is now in OT. Although it kind of sucks that I watched all the crappy parts and missed all of the goals.
So Frank, you have to totally re-write that game wrap-up you had already started composing in your head?
Oh definitely. When they were down 3-0 I already had the negative Nancy vibes on call
