[The Snapshot]

It was a strange wide open game....however, we won a on of one on onestonightthat we were not winning in the previous two games

I think I know what you said.....?

[meow]

Well, in three hours I went from angry to normal to angry to normal to happy to elated to happy but worried to really worried to remote tossing to relieved to elated to worried to happy to running around the room yelling like an idiot

Reel it in buddy. Sit the next few plays out

so, what did kennedy do tonight other than have a couple of highly questionable penalties called against him to have people so mad at him?

He breathed.

I've honestly seen you invoke his name the most in this thread.

Sensitive much?

Nothing, he did nothing like usual. Add in stupid penalties lately and he's a burden on the team.

He breathed in the buttgas that was his once-again WCHL-caliber play. Maybe next game he's good. Now, he blows like Santa Ana winds.

froggy kennedy

[Beveridge]

He was benched first ten minutes of the 3rd, came out took a penalty, don't think we saw him again.

People might get their wish.

no, it's just the hatred has reached terminal stupidity. that particular brand of dumb makes me upset.

[sharpshootr55]

I find the lack of Bennett in the 2nd and 3rd disturbing and annoying. The kid should be playing more.

How do you guys keep track of how many minutes someone plays and when

Yeah doesn't make a whole lot of sense considering the fact that he played a great first, had an assist, and also Tyler Kennedy was out there playing like a moron.

My opinion is that Bylsma doesn't trust or like playing young players much.

The inter nets.

[The Snapshot]

I understand that. But your goalie is apart of the of the team as well. Vokoun should never have started tonight. Bylsma needs to answer for that and he's very lucky the Pens pulled this one out.

They showed solid heart tonight and never stopped working. I will say that.

OK but you didn't say Vokoun shouldn't have started, at least not what I read. That is the same argument as last playoffs in my eyes, because the goalie stunk - yet everyone wants to blame the coach and the D IN this game, and it is dead wrong.

You cannot coach around terrible goaltending and the team never packed it in on the road, in a tough building, against a good team, against their old coach and missing two extremely important players. Guys stepped up offensively in their elevated roles too. The rookie Dman played a Norris Trophy caliber game tonight.

This place is negative. Almost like most here want them to fail because Bylsma is still the coach.

Niskanen was a +3. As was Kunitz.

I feel like Niskanen is underrated in Pens nation

My friend at work talked me out of getting his jersey today.

Your friend is a dummy

Niskanen won't be here long and/or he's not a particularly good player. I wouldn't get a jersey of a #5 d-man...

[Froggy]

you can claim that vokoun got hung out to dry tonight, but that 6th goal would have been a backbreaker most nights. this team gets a ton of credit for pulling out the W after that

If you really don't know then you should be coaching the team

[malksby8771]

Kunitz has 27 points and is a +14. Fourth in the NHL in scoring. Siiiiiiiick

[joe icepick]

I thought Bennett played his best game so far. Matt Cooke played well also, kudos to him because i tend to get on him alot.

Only post negative, contrary thoughts please. The rest of the board will not allow this.

[CoachBarnyard]

Nobody in the locker room better feel good about this win.

They'll just blame it on bad goaltending and carry on business as usual. It's what they did after the playoffs last year.

They gave a point to Montreal they should have gotten. Shortened season could be decided by a point down the stretch.

Honey Badger don't care

Koon has been insane and has to be one of the most underrated players out there

Some people fade under adversity. Some just buckle down. Fall down 7 times, get up 8.

[CoachBarnyard]

At least this game they answered when they gave up goals.
