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

You have to get Martin off the PP, he's not a threat in any way at all. He's weak on the board battles, has no shot, doesn't pass well and thread the needle, and has horrible foot speed if he misplays a puck.

I just think Despres is a much better option for the first unit.

The league needs to watch how the Devils run a PK against the Pens. So assertive.

[DelPen]

Letang is the most valuable player for the Penguins. The team always looks worse when he doesn't play.

Not really

[The U]

The fourth line really misses Vitale's speed. Jeffrey contributes nothing.

Agreed but dont say that too loudly. Many on this board are huge fans of his. I just don't see it.

[brwi]

Did I just hear "Cat Scratch Fever? " LOL

[sniper]

Outplaying them badly. Just can't beat Hedberg.

[tfrizz]

Oh good, Jeffrey got some PP time at the end of that period.

[DropEmJayBird]

I wanna kick the Dos Equis guy's teeth down his throat

Stay thirsty, my friend.

I heard for their next commercial - one of the items for "most interesting man" is that he has 30,000 LGP posts - only counting GDTs.

At this rate Hedberg is going to get a SO.

[Kharlamov]

I can't stand da devil

That Axe you got should be pretty sharp by now.

If Dupuis goes to the net he has a tap-in. Tangradi would have done that (and shot wide, but still).

Nah. He would've still been at the blue-line because he wouldn't have been able to keep up.

[KG]

Opportunistic Devils. Horrible pinch by Engelland.

Moose came through with big saves early in the game and settled his team down.

Devils are still annoying to play against...

:twisted:

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).

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.

I'm pretty sure it was a 2 on 1 at that point, heck I think it was a 2 on 1 since their blue line.

Definitely 2 on 1 because Engo was trailing. If Bortuzzo tries to stand him up at the line he makes a pass and its a break-away. Always take the pass away. The goalie has to make the save on the 1st shot.

[Pitt87]

Clarkson is a beast.

would look nice wearing a Penguins sweater next year

He's gonna get paid. 30 goals last year, will get more chances without Parise.

"He once ran a marathon....because it was on his way"

Dos Equis probably the best commercials on TV IMO....

By the time Tangradi got to the net, the Devils would have been exiting the zone though.

The D will gap up as the play comes in because the angle of the attack will come toward them.

[marek]

The only ice time Jeffrey should be getting is Tyler Kennedy's

[pcm]

Pens look really disorganized. It's probably Jeffrey's fault, for dressing. And Tangradi's, for having been born... today.

[GreenBlood10]

Would have liked to see more traffic in front of Moose.

Truth hurts, I know.
