penny lane wrote:Discussion post game with mr bob grove and phil bourque was about how the pens played a very sound defensive system, but that isn't really the penguins forte. So for the great LGP hockey minds, why did the penguins try to beat the wild at their own game~ best trap besides detroit in the league? Seeing the wild once every decade would be fine with me, but their goalie did make quality saves. I thought if the wild went up 2-1 then the pens would revert to their style, more open skating. And oddly have a better chance
to win. Knowing a power play goal or 2 and this is moot!

In the post game interview he said something to the effect of: it's all about seeing the puck, if I can see the puck I can stop it.
So, it sounds like the key to scoring on him is to make sure there's traffic and/or a good screen.

Here's a hint: Its not possible.
The talent level of this team can explode playing the same game on any given night. If they are behind they can just release the hounds to give it the old college try. That's the difference. It's possible, anything is possible with the talent here vs the Wild. Particularly with Gaborik out. Pens are far more suited to just be patient and pick your chances than the Wild.Idoit40fans wrote:Who can tell me the difference between the Pens' system and that of the Wild?
