[DelPen]

Shoulder to sternum. You outlaw that might as well have them all wear skirts.

[shmenguin]

if his shoulder did hit his jaw...i forget - is that illegal?

[pens#1]

YEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHHHHH BOYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEee

[Gaucho]

You know Torts is going to rant about that hit.

I don't think so.

[FreeCandy44]

Clean hit

[71Aj66ax87]

Night everyone

[columbia]

That was a clean hit and much cleaner than that win.
But sloppiness is to be expected right now.

[PghSkins]

Gonna rant at Kreider about skating with his head down, maybe

[brwi]

Nice clean thump, Orpik.

[sharpshootr55]

Great weekend, gentlemen.

[FreeCandy44]

2-0 is 2-0

[littlemoonboot]

LOL @ the Rangers and Flyers being 0-2

[AlexPKeaton]

2-0, against Flyers and Rangers. Can't ask for a better start than that.

[FLPensFan]

Is game 2 too soon to request Beau Bennett be recalled to play with Malkin/Neal? Tangradi is just invisible out there, and not in a good way. The guy just doesn't seem to have the offensive instincts to play at the NHL level. Tired of getting excited about him winning a battle along the boards here and there. The guy has yet to show me a dominate shift in the NHL. These so called "flashes" are seldom and nothing special at this point.

On another note, YAY, 2-0 start!!!!

Yeah he is meh. But I think the Pens could trot out a yellow cone with Malkin-Neal and the line will still be effective lol.

I'm not saying Tangradi looks good out there, but what happens if Bennett takes more than 2 games to adjust to being a top-six forward in the NHL? Do we go back to Tangradi or call up Veilleux?

[columbia]

If Tangradi's performance stays as is, it's going to be painfully awkward to see people say that he's "looking fine" and "just needs more of a chance."

he looks like a beer league player out there.

[thepittman]

I'm not ready to judge anyone after two games. Hell Crosby has been a bum so far. Just give these guys some games to get something going. It's not like they are losing games for us or being a liability.

[Metalmike]

I thought the Pens retired Martin Straka's # 82 lol Good game for Vokoun!

I'd try Jeffrey before calling up Bennett. Couldn't be worse than #25.

They've also got a full roster (13F + 8D + 2G) which means they'd have to basically hand Tangradi or Jeffrey over on waivers (neither would clear) to make room for a call up.

[SolidSnake]

I would hardly say Sid's been a "bum"
