What the hell is a Zach Trotman?? :lol:

You know the Pens are in full swing when 2 Dmen are out.

Sheahan's 1st game went great- all he needs to be is a Bones impersonation which equals being wildly inconsistent and not care until he gets to the playoffs, block shots and win faceoffs. I think he can do that.
Nothing against McKegg who did fine but he's definitely better on the 4th line where he can make up for the lack of footspeed with Reeves/Kuhn on the wings

This game is tailor made for Reaves. I think he'll have a couple fights tonight

Sheary makes it 1-0.

Funny but the Pens opened with the first line, then the third line and then came back with the first line.

Nice goal by Letang there for the Jets. Dumbass.

Ten minutes in and the second line has played the fewest minutes of the four lines and there have been no PP's. Hmm...

Beautiful goal by Letang.

Malkin,it's alright to shoot the puck-you get paid to do such.

Copy Kessel on that message.

For a guy that has one of the best shots in the league, his decision making on when to use it can be downright awful, especially on the power play. He'll try and fire one from a bad angle with absolutely no windows for the puck to even fit, but will then pass on open shots 20 feet dead center in front of the net.

Subtly, Sullivan has taken Kessel off Malkin's line tonight-trust him to find the groove needed.

Murray has been amazing the past three days-well I don't know about Wednesday.

Sid is missing on chances he buried last year, as well.

Shit happens.

I'm now calling Kessel the Widowmaker from now on. Dude is a freaking kill in OT.
