We still don't have a shutout or hat trick yet this year do we?

I THINK we had a hat trick in the last game against the Caps (8-1 win). I could be wrong. I was at the game and I remember hats coming down a couple of times, but the goals that were scored may have been changed after the fact.

I don't think we had one then. We came close with Recchi and Leclair,but I don't think we did. I'm not sure myself though.

They took a goal away from Recchi and gave it to LeClair (correctly). So officially no HT.......YET.

Good Call! Thanks!

Hey Ovechkin, don't celebrate TOO much! You are still down by FOUR goals you silly Russke!

I agree there, that is Robbie Brown cheap.

*looks around*

Where's Hextall?!!

RRRRRROOOOONNNNNNNNNIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!

[fourtKNOX]

somebody tries to take the kids knee out... hello MT... keep him off the ice... plllllllllllllllllllllllllleaaaaaaaaaaaaase!

[fourtKNOX]

Come on down to Long Island... it's only about three hours, you'll be here before midnight!

maybe the next time they play in NY... i might hold you to that one! ive told my gf that i need to go down to a game... you up for it ... if possible!

Why not? Sounds like fun! We can sit there and make fun of Mad Mike... ask him how he likes "Retirement"?!!!

sounds good we need to keep in touch... email me when the next game is or next one you think we could get too... im heading out soon... or i would do it!

For those of you who havent had the plessure to see a Robbie Brown goal. He would follow it up with a dramatic Glen Andersson-esque windmill celebration and would drop to one knee sometimes too. A real overrated show boat and players around the league hated him for it. I mean 7-2 and he would act like he won the CUP or something.

One game Flyers goalie Ron Hextall chased him around the rink after one of his celebrations.

I doubt many of you didnt know that alr4eady but there it is just in case.

I was at that game. The crowd was really confused.

[Ben Klingston]

the gaurd got a punch on the nose and its starting to flow I think he might be sinking!!!

Throw me a line if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high.

Good call, NIN. Almost makes up for the Cotton Eyed Joe Fiasco. Let us never speak of that again.

Of course yinz were. The Pens were WINNING!

[lauren]

I was one of them!

They didn't really go a good job of announcing the goal has been changed.

[netwolf]

I hate seeing Melichar pick up minuses because other people aren't playing defense.

Don't worry, he'll get a chance to honestly earn a few after the Olympics I'm sure.

[Ashamed87]

Wow no pwoer play goals allowed! Nice to see that streak come to and end.....now whats Lange gonna talk about

And hatless.

I think that was the first game I've ever seen TWO false hat tricks.

[dboss]

TWO IN A ROW!! The worst thing is that we have to wait almost 3 weeks for another game. Figures they would go on a break when they start playing well.

Special thanks to Lauren for jinxing Fleury...at least you made Errey happy by allowing him to rip Fleury.

[netwolf]

When did the team start calling Caron "minnow"? I thought it was "trout"?

[HomerPenguin]

And as I'm typing this, Ovechkin scores one. Crap.

That's okay, that SHG is good for my fantasy team. Shouldn't have counted though as Whitney got clipped in the face...

If Whit would have checked on the INSIDE-effectively moving the play up the boards and not to the front of the net-like your suppose too that play never happens and he probably doesnt get high sticked either!



tinkerbell....

LOL...meanwhile Jackman could have taken out EITHER Zubrus before he got behind the net OR Ovechkin before he set up in front of Fleury, but inconceivably elected to do neither. Hard to believe he keeps getting scratched. Well, OK, on THIS defense it is hard to believe. But still...

Look at it this way... we are guaranteed of a 20-day unbeaten streak.

Ha Im not the only one whose fantasy team was benefited....

That would be the longest of the season!! Things are looking up!

[HomerPenguin]

As far as Gonchar goes, I have always maintained that his O-zone play has been good all season. He isnt going to hurt the team in the Ozone at all.

Gonchar suffers from not being terribly fast while carrying the puck, not being able to make the break-out pass, not being accurate with his point shots, and of course not being good defensively (although I think his shot accuracy is unusually poor this season). These are all things that are at a premium now. I just don't know if Gonchar is ever going to be the premier defenseman he was thought to be when the Penguins offered him $5 million a year.

[NIN]

Kate Beckinsale just choke slammed a midget into a bowl full of Loudmouth soup!!!

Im putting an official patent on this one.

[netwolf]

Good job by NIN to step aside for the hotshot rookie as far as the game thread goes too.

[dboss]

Crosby has just DOMINATED these games against Ovechkin. Still can't believe he is only 18 given how well he plays.

[fourtKNOX]

not to take anyting away from the boys and how well they have played... but the upbeat board we have recieved in the past 2 days... has to help the old confidence because im sure they go home every night and read this freakin board... im sure of it!

2-0 with the game threads... and like ben said we will be riding a 20 day unbeaten streak... you cant argue with that!

great effort... unsung hero of the night other then marc-andre.... rob scuderi... played well... very well!
