[Pabst]

Weird stat of the day: Sens have gone to OT in 6 of their last 7 games

[fractalsteel]

That was one he'll of a goal by Simone!
2-0

[Obviously]

Douchenozzle refs missed that high sticking call.

[fractalsteel]

And a cross check to Malkin's back and a blatant trip on Letang. They are letting the boys play so far.

[fractalsteel]

Good for Horny
4-2
His play tonight has been very solid.

[Orangesteel]

Fun to watch a Pittsburgh team headed in the right direction. Solid cuppa periods there by the Birdies.

[Orangesteel]

Shit...that’s either a collarbone or shoulder for Guentzel there. Just hope it isn’t broken.

[fractalsteel]

This Ottawa team is cheap

[Orangesteel]

Yeah they are.

It looks like he got his elbow up to cushion the impact into the boards. I just hope that didn’t pop his shoulder out. Don’t think it’s the collarbone.

[fractalsteel]

What a shit show by Ottawa. They are trash.
They go beat tonight but they had to resort shit with seconds left.

And the refs let them be thugs.

[Orangesteel]

Loved that Geno whacked Pageau in the neck with his stick after he did that cheap crap.

[Orangesteel]

Jake has upper body injury and is day to day.

That ain’t bad.

If he was really fucked up I think Sully would have said a wee bit more, not about the specific injury, but the potential length.

Let's hope so.

Usually you get the collarbone when you brace impact with the palm of the hand. If was the elbow, I'm not sure what might have happened. Shoulder displacement of some sort?

Anyway, the Penguins are playing excellent hockey. Add Crosby, Dumolin, and even Bjugstad... this team could roll.

We aren't going to see Dumo until the snow starts to melt. Crosby is close but I REALLY don't see a need for Jugs. Yeah, his size is nice but what does he bring besides being a Center that the replacements haven't provided?

[bradshaw2ben]

I’d like to see McCann back on a wing. I think he’s a little less effective as a centerman. Don’t know if the results bear that out but he isn’t getting the same scoring opportunities.

[Pabst]

Guentzel out 4-6 months after shoulder surgery.

Lovely

[Orangesteel]

Fucking BRUTAL.

Goddamn that sucks.

[Orangesteel]

Yeah, looking at the replay of the collision with the boards, the look on Jake’s face right as he hit was not promising. It was more a look of utter disbelief than it was pure agony from pain.

So that tells me his shoulder likely snapped and he was very confused as to what they hell that noise was.

Fuck the goddamn senators. Man oh man they are on my hated list now.
