Official Game Day Thread: Penguins vs Devils 2/10/13

[bigkam]

Just ugly defense there from that pairing, no reason one of them doesn't disrupt that play.

[eww7633]

Hedberg has played lights out or it could be 2-1.

[Rocco]

Not sure how the Pens contrived not to score there.

[RentedMule66]

PP time.....why can't we get any of these bouncing pucks to go in...

[nocera]

That's not a penalty.

[tfrizz]

Back back back back up a little much there, Bortuzzo.

Bortuzzo played it right. Take away the passing option (Elias) so Vokoun can play the shooter (Clarkson).

[eww7633]

With the Debs pressuring on the PK like this, we should be able to get an open man, right? RIGHT?

[RentedMule66]

Crosby and Malkin gotta stop trying that cross ice pass when there are 2 players blocking the lane.

[DMcGrew]

WTF Moose.. mannn

[GDR]

Hedberg > Brodeur

Yup.

[skullman80]

Pick by Elias stopped Bortuzzo from getting a stick on Clarkson. Interference. Nice.

there was no interference on that at all.

[DelPen]

That's not a penalty.

Especially with everything else they have let go by everyone. Biggest reason I hate NHL officials.

[DropEmJayBird]

NJ pretty aggressive to the points again - best way to beat it is do exactly that, push Neal up to the middle and give him the puck, always open space there.

[guiner]

Malkin on the left point, martin the right, neal on the right. Trying to put everyone in their worst possible location. Perhaps we can try Vokoun in the front of the net as a screen.

Pretty aggressive overall on the PK...I wish we did more of that instead of a soft collapsing box

Ok, replay proved me wrong. Bortuzzo still couldn't get around Elias though to get a stick on the puck.

[bigkam]

Pens need to move their feet and the puck faster on the PP. Devils pressuring too much, need to exploit it.

[Gaucho]

Guess Crosby had a lot of time this offseason to work on half-assed passes.

[CoachBarnyard]

That's exactly right.

YEP, fails way more than it connects.

Nahhh. He let him take the line and the zone without hesitation and it wasn't a 2-on-1 at that point. He just backed in too much.

Our PK has been excellent.

[The U]

Playing without 2 of our top 4 defensemen against a team that's better than us. Shouldn't be overly concerned or worried if we lose.

[Pitt87]

PP looks predictable...
