Pens Salvage a Point, Fall to Blues 1-0 in Overtime

PrintBlues Blog: St. Louis Gametime
Sometimes you watch a scoreless game and it's like watching paint dry: dull, boring and lifeless as the teams just keep going end to end and play "safe" hockey. Thankfully, with the exception of the first period, this game was nothing like that, as both the Pens and Blues were presented with tremendous opportunities throughout the night. 54 of the game's 55 shots were kept out of the mesh, as both Brent Johnson and Jaroslav Halak marveled between the pipes. Unfortunately the only shot to light the lamp slipped past Johnson in overtime, giving the Blues the extra point, hailing Erik Johnson as the hero in St. Louis and bringing the Pens' road record to 3-0-1.
More on the game after the jump...
Heartbreaking as it was to watch the Pens battle the entire game before losing 50 seconds into overtime, it's still nice to see them at least salvage a point on the road. Halak was impressive in his first shutout as a member of the Blues but Johnson answered the call as well for the Pens. Toward the end of regulation it looked like the line combo of Mike Comrie, Sidney Crosby and Chris Kunitz would strike gold, but it was not to be. Halak literally stopped four shots in the span of about five seconds. What is it about him that the Pens can't crack?
Can't look over the fact that it was a pretty physical game as well, BJ Crombeen and Craig Adams' fight not withstanding. Both teams were hitting in the corners and taking runs at each other throughout the game. For two teams that don't play one another that often, this game definitely had the makings of a rivalry.
Until Crosby and/or Malkin crack Halak, it's going to remain at the top of their to-do list, taped to the refrigerator right under the picture Marc-Andre Fleury drew in crayons. Granted Halak is on a different team than he was in the playoffs, but it was a chance for some sort of redemption. Guess it will have to wait until the Finals (if it is to be) or, sadly, next year.
Comment of the night comes from BobPurkey34 and his crystal ball:
I think this is just going to be one of those 1-0 games you have to win
Sad, but true.

My thoughts:
-What a game. This shouldn’t be a game where the Pens are upset by their effort. Besides a pretty sloppy 1st period, they played really really well. We got a point out of it; while I’m sure everyone wanted two, we sure as hell earned the first one.
-Halak was Halak tonight. The Habs made a mistake.
-Johnson was great tonight. He deserved much better. He was really upset with himself after he gave up the goal in OT – he shouldn’t have been; he kept his team in this game.
-Crosby and Malkin were just ok tonight. But you’ve got to give the Blues a lot of credit for that. They played Crosby and Malkin so tightly tonight. If the Blues wouldn’t of played that well you just know that the monster would’ve been at it again.
-Speaking of the monster, the fact that Crosby got thrown out of the faceoff circle when Malkin jumped too early gave the Blues the faceoff win and the game. In no way is it Geno’s fault that we lost, but when you trade a career 40% guy for a (this season) nearly 60% guy, it doesn’t usually go to well. Just that minute change was the difference in this game.
-Orpik was ok tonight. He made some really "Orpik" like plays and his physicality was much appreciated, but he looked pretty rusty at times.
-Tangradi had a good game. He hasn’t looked that good since training camp.
-LeTestu was average.
-Cookie had a very nice game. So did Lovejoy.
-Dear Mike Comrie, we know you took a generous discount to come play here, but that doesn’t mean you should play like the Pens lowest paid player.
-After the PP had some good chances on their first few attempts, they were lackluster on their last few. Again, gotta give the Blues credit.
-Even though we lost, we shouldn’t be too disappointed. The Pens played really well, got a point, and gave an extra point up to a non-conference opponent. It’s all good.
-Unfortunately, the Pens will have 4 (5?) days to sit and think about this loss. Maybe that’s actually a blessing – this was a rough game physically.
-Finally, we have to congratulate the Blues tonight. They really did play well. They earned this win.

I’ll say, hands of stone.
Especially that one time in the third period when he was in position for a good scoring chance at the point, the puck just exploded off his stick when he tried to recieve the pass from Sid. That was one of those heartbreakers in a tight game, that make you curse.
Yep. Although, I think I can say with at least a little bit of confidence, that Halak probably would’ve stopped it. He was just playing that well last night.

I would be happy with 45%,but Malkin has to be better than this on draws:
06-07: 43.3%
07-08: 39.3%
08-09: 42.4%
09-10: 40.0%
10-11 0 for 4
He’s taken less and less face-offs every season since his second and has gotten progressively worse. The antithesis of Sid.
It’s gotten so bad I’m half thinking HCDB put Geno at wing so he’ll never have to take another face-offs (sarcasm).
It is pretty pathetic. There was an article done about 6 months ago that said Malkin had the lowest career faceoff percentage among all players that have taken at least 100. Ouch.
I know you were being sarcastic, but the face offs has to be one of reasons why Geno was switched to wing. Think of it on the flip side; if Geno was a 60% guy do you think he’s on the wing? I don’t think so.

No you’re right, before Malkin’s face-off problem was known to the Pens (during his rookie season) and the last time he played on a line with Staal, he played center and Staal was on the wing. Now I know some of that was because Staal was young (18) and smallish to play centerice defence down below the goal line,but I’m sure the Pens didn’t think Geno would be this bad, especially with all his talent.
,but I’m sure the Pens didn’t think Geno would be this bad, especially with all his talent.
No kidding. It’s baffling sometimes.
I would say that this doesn’t matter anymore, but why didn’t one of the coaches (while he was playing center) ever say “hey, Geno, you really need to work on your face offs. Let’s take a few extra minutes each practice and work on that”?
However, even though he’s now at wing, that still does matter. We found that out last night.

Watching the Preds & Lightning, 3-1 Nashville they’re much better than I thought. Pretty much got Stamkos in check. Not many pp chances for TB, that’s where Stamkos will kill ya.
Oh yeah, the Preds are a great team, it’s just that there are better teams in the West. Plus, not only are they in the south, but they’re in a small market. So, I think a lot of people and teams underestimate them.
that’s where Stamkos will kill ya.
Ain’t it the truth. They load Vinny and St. Louis on the right side, then have the sniper on the left. That cross ice pass they make to him for the score is absolutely devastating for the goalie. Stamkos is a great player, he really is; but he’s got the luxury of playing with amazing players that take up a lot of the attention from him.
If a casual fan came up to me and asked which up and coming team they should bandwagon on, I would tell them the Lightning. Stevie’s going to have that team in the playoffs and contending in no time.

Right Shot
He’s a very rare center. He’s a right shot who thinks shot first as opposed to setting up his teammates. Most centericemen are left shot playmakers. Mario was a right shot center but was more conventional at the position, where as he would always look to make a play first. Stamkos is more like a right-winger playing out of position, sort of like Brett Hull playing center. When I see goal scorers who shoot right-handed I always think “I would love to see Sid play with someone like that for a whole season, he might get 100 assists”.
Sid is his own sniper. Although it would be nice to see him play with a guy who can score 40-50 goals, he doesn’t need a guy like that anymore.
Sid knew after Hossa wasn’t signed, that the big time winger wasn’t going to come. If you think about it, he changed his game for his linemates. Kunitz is a guy who clears up space,so he changes himself to become a guy who take advantage of that space with goals.

Yeah, I agree with all that. But I’m thinking of the Kid that broke in at 18. Remember his second season when he was only 19, he had something like 84 assists playing with a 38 year old (Recchi) , bunch of grinders (Armstong, Talbot,ect.) and 2 rookies(Malkin & Staal).Now imagine if he had a bona-fide 50 goal scoring rightshot on his rightwing. That’s all I’m saying, or maybe dreaming.
Having said that I do agree with this:
he changed his game for his linemates
Which is even more impressive than I think people realize.
True. Very true. The guy won the Ross by 6 points with (no offense) basically scraps. Some of that was luck, but he was just on fire that year.
Which is even more impressive than I think people realize.
Are you kidding? It’s amazing. Most people think that the change came in the summer after the Cup. It didn’t, actually. It came only a few months after Kunitz and Guerin were acquired. His 15 goals in the postseason would’ve put him on pace for over 50 if they had played 82 games.
The difference between the 09 playoffs and the 09-10 season was the fact that Sid could be more accurate from farther distances (new stick, more of a curve). Actually, Idk – maybe I’m imagining this ,but I got a look at Sid’s stick this season and it seems to have a little more of a curve than it did last year.

Totally Agree, he busted out during the ’09 playoffs . I think the work in the summers was more on face-offs and his overall game without the puck.

Nahh…He worked on his shot over the summer. There was a story about how he had Reebok send him about 10 different types of sticks. He had trouble finding one, but his childhood friend (a goalie) said that he knew right away when he’d found his new stick because shots were apparently flying over his shoulder instead of staying on the ice or only being slightly elevated.

He didn't really change his game...
He improved it. Sid was a serious goal scoring threat in juniors before he came to the NHL. When he broke into the NHL the he was no longer too talented for the competition. I think it just took him a few years to regain his scoring touch once the talent level of his league caught up to him a little.
Put on your dancin' shoes.
Yeah he changed his game. His shot wasn’t all that good/accurate from far out.

Yeah as soon as I call Stamkos a shooter, hemakes a nice play to St. Louis. Don’t I feel like the fraud.
Whatevs. Look at Sid. He’s a shooter and a passer.
Not that Stamkos is anywhere near Sid in talent. Even though the guy has the NHL lead with 15 points, he’ll be back in the top 10 where he belongs by the end of the year.

The NHL season is a marathon not a sprint. We’ll see who’s on top. it’s a long way away.

Sid? He’s ties for second with 4 others with 11 points, but has played more than most (except Hossa 10gp) so his ppg average (1.222) might not be top 10 but his point total is.
No I was talking about Stamkos falling to the top 10 by the end of the year.

Sid played well and did all he could to win, as did Johnnie and a few others. Wasn’t meant to be tonight. They gave away the puck a little too often. I love Orpik, and I thought he was good overall, but you could see he was rusty and his timing was off. He made quite a few mistakes. Look out TB; Orpik will be looking for a return to form. Tangradi…I really like him, but I could see the need to work on puck possession more in this game than others. He has hustle and muscle and he works hard, but he needs more time with the puck on his stick in the pro game. I think more time with W/B will make a huge difference for him. I agree with Allie/PensFan on Cooke. I thought he looked great. Malkin, I thought, was off tonight. His timing was off. His grit and hustle weren’t there for parts of the game. Other parts he played well, but he was off. Crosby, I thought, played well, though. I am worried about the wince I saw on the bench again. I saw him wince at the Nashville game and again at this game. I hope it’s minor. Nothing to be ashamed of tonight. They had more giveaways than I like to see, but also quite a few takeaways. Puck possession just wasn’t there to the same degree. But, it wasn’t drastic. Last year, honestly, in this kind of game…..our team would have lost in regulation. This year, we played better. Imagine what Staal, Asham and Michalek would have added to this game. Different game, especially with our much-improved game from last year. We have grit and staying power. Let us keep this going.
I am worried about the wince I saw on the bench again. I saw him wince at the Nashville game and again at this game. I hope it’s minor.
I didn’t see him wince in either game…when did you see him wince?
I know he’s got something wrong. He wouldn’t of taken a maintenance day if he didn’t…Sid doesn’t take a practice off when he’s healthy.
I’m not worried, though. We’ve got 5 days in between games. That should be enough time to get over what I gather is a relatively minor injury.

They scanned to the bench (I had the St Louis feed) and he was wincing while sitting down and shifting. He did the same in Nashville, though it was more pronounced then than last night. Both times, he played the remainder of the game (half of the second, all of the third and the OT in Nashville and half of the 3rd plus the OT in St Louis). In Nashville, he noticeably winced while sitting down and slowly sat on the bench and then winced while shifting and drinking. They had the camera on him a while.
The 5 days will help for sure. For Sid, and for the soon-to-play players – Asham and Staal. Asham in TB will help smash Stamkos around a bit :)
It’s probably the hip flexor if he’s sitting down slowly and wincing.
Seems to have bothered him a lot for being “nothing” in the first place.

I’m assuming hip flexor for Crosby, though it could be just bruises on bruises from that Nashville game, too. He was in the corners a lot for that one, in a very physical game, and threw some good hits tonight.
Pshh…AND Talbot…that would be a great line.
It might be, but I’d bet money it’s the hip flexor. Idk…you could be right though. He sure didn’t look unhealthy in the Nashville game; he may have been slightly injured in that one.

its a shame, play a awesome game & a veteren Defenseman turns it over in own zone & it kills ya…. again our PP needs WORK….again too much passing, NOT ENOUGH SHOOTING….
I actually thought the power play looked good most of the time. Some sloppy passes, but no more than the rest of the game. Some good quality chances. It wasn’t as good as the last couple of games, but at least there is movement and 10 shots on 3 (I think) PPs is actually pretty good for playing against a team that had the #1 ranked PK in the league last year.
The Pens played pretty well.
The PP let us down in the end (although they were pretty good in the beginning of the game), but you’ve got to give the Blues a lot of credit. They’ve got a great PK. Plus, Sid was about an inch away from getting a PP goal and sending all the Pens fans home happy.

agreed. The PK for St Louis, was positionally sound and provided great coverage of the shooting lanes. They made it tough to score. Add to that the fact that Halak doesn’t give a lot of rebounds, and only dirty goals have a chance. Pens tried that, and almost had it. Next game and the next and the next. It’s coming.
St. Louis was great tonight. Period.
Great on Sid and Geno.

Nash says Malkin's fist has "big taste."
Why yes, the Roman numeral in my user name is the number of a certain captain.

And you need to learn how to not have your shift key enabled when hitting a number key.

Sometimes you just have to give credit to the other team. Halak was good, he didn’t have to be great. Stl played a great game. Completely shut down sid and geno. It was impressive.

I’ll give StL the credit that is due them, but from my perspective and those I was watching the game with, the loss seemed more due to some sloppy play on the part of the Pens. Having said that, tough game on the road, I’ll take the point and hope the Pens don’t look as rusty as they normally do after several days off when they face Tampa Wednesday.

Nahh…the 1st period was pretty sloppy, but the rest of the game, the Pens played really well. I would give a lot more credit to STL.

Agreed. At least they only have to see him once during the regular season.

It sounds like we made a great effort but could not come up with the win. Sometimes it goes that way. I didn’t see the game or highlights….but we WILL find a way to beat Halak, one of these days…..no worries there!
