Hopefully can build on the point last game, and the humiliating loss last time out against Captain Caveman and Co.

Let's go Pens!

Hopefully the Pens can score. Back to back loses via shutouts.

Chris Kunitz – Sidney Crosby – David Perron

Blake Comeau – Evgeni Malkin – Patric Hornqvist

Nick Spaling – Brandon Sutter – Beau Bennett

Craig Adams – Maxim Lapierre – Steve Downie

Paul Martin – Kris Letang

Rob Scuderi – Simon Despres

Derrick Pouliot – Robert Bortuzzo

Marc-Andre Fleury

I'll be watching BB and if we have finally learned on the PK where caveman set ups.

Oh I have no doubt Ovechkin will be all alone camped out in his usual spot on the powerplay, and it will sicken all of us how much space he has to tee off on Fleury.

Would love to see a big win tonight, and a big showing from our stars.

How the fuck do the refs miss that shit by Ove. Should have been 5 minutes.

I appreciate playing with emotion, but this is ridiculous. They're taking way too many stupid penalties.

This is a fragile, weak hockey team right now. They have a lot of work to do.

I honestly feel like I'm watching a wrestling storyline. The Authority (refs) doing all they can to make life hell for Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns (the Penguins and the offensive players of the NHL)

I'm not sure of the metaphor, but the Pens need their biggest players to show up in these games. The team looked scared early, and though they rebounded a little, it wasn't enough. One goal to ten in three games, from Downie of all folks, just isn't cutting it offensively. The disturbing in division trend continues.

That was playoff hockey right there and the Pens couldn't muster a goal when they needed it most. Shockingly their PP let them down...again. The fancy passes have to stop. Good on MJ to add BD for his shot but then he saw what the Captain was doing and picked up Sid's habits by skating around with it. Horny hasn't been the same since his injury, I remember when the PP was as simple as: throw it to the net and Horny will clean up the rebound. Was he even out there for the final PP? I think Kunitz was selected to go put his thumb up his ass in the final 2 mins.

Splitting up Sid and Geno is dumb.

The PK had only 2 brainfarts, unfortunately both of those ended up in the back of the net. You have to admit Sutter does 1 thing well it's kill penalties, too bad his even strength play sucks dick.

The superstars couldn't get on the scoresheet. Downie still gets unfairly targeted and I seriously don't know how Ovi didn't get a penalty, if Sid did that the hockey world would be burning.

Say what you want about Ovie- he scores goals.

Our elite goal-scoring captain has 19 for the year- 58 points total in 53 games.

That is abysmal.

Was at bar for game, got very rowdy. I am really losing patience with this team and coaches. Coaches need to grow a set and put stars together on PP but tell sid to stay on left post to the slot. He is fucking terrible in right circle. Geno needs to be in RC, Martin or pouliot on point. Letang or perron in LC and horn in front. Start firing pucks and let sidvand horn clean up. I would be OK with ehrhoff at point as well

Yeah there's no excuse for the divisional record at this point. They're pretty healthy now so no more excuses. I'm definitely staying off the emotional roller coaster with this team. Got too much shit to worry about in life without the added emotional stress.

This team reminds exactly of Rocky Balboa from Rocky III, before he gets KO'd and then needs Creed to help him get his head screwed back on straight.
