Official Game Thread - 11/17 - Penguins vs. Sabres - 8:08pm

[SportsFan]

man, this team looks NOTHING like it did to start the season. We played with such energy....we hit people...we were in your face...our D played well enough.

Now I feel like we're playing more like last seasons Pens than the October Pens....and that really has nothing to do with WINS and LOSSES. Just they way they're playing.

I disagree. Take away LeClair's blunder and the bad penalties and they are playing well vs. the best team in the league. If they werent playing hard it would be 6-0.

Good teams dont make those plays... This game is actually like a AHL team vs NHL team.. The Sabres 4th line has the Pens 2nd and 3rd line hend in their own end with forechecking.

[yeltzen]

Oh look. Sidney took a shot and it went it.

[NIN]

AHHHHHHHHHHHH

Biron wishes he was something real or true, in this. World. For. You!!!


SID

[mikey287]

Orpik and Scuderi stink.

Scuds blocked like 3 shots on that sequence!

Well who do we blame it on ?

Hatcher?

[Stoosh]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Cry in your wing sauce over that one!

SIDNEY CROSBY!!!!!!!

[Sigwolf]

The lack of Power play shots,

the lack of even strength offense..that was pretty evident right away..SSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOo why in the hell are they not throwing Malkin, Crosby, Recchi ???

Maybe he will wait until there are 5 mins to go.

You were saying...??

[25+66+22=#1]

He plays so great when he's pissed

[Scott]

as soon as I said that,
71, 8, 87 were together and they score


astounding.
Amazing how I can coach 250 miles from Buffalo

Pretty cool

Unfortunately Sid is left to take care of the offense himself.

YOu got the wrong game on your tv. Pens could tie this up.

Wait... so Buffalo has 4 good lines!? STOP THE PRESSES!!!!

[yeltzen]

I think Sidney loves the hostility. Or at least he acts like it.
He makes a better villain than hero.

[netwolf]

Nice to see Sid shoot it. His last trip up the ice, the d-man on his side cheated off to cover the pass and gave him an open skating lane to the net and Sid passed to Armstrong anyhow.

[Rychster]

These announcers are the biggest homers!

Which Feed?

Sabres. Just can't stand them gloating all over the team. All I can say is remember Kasper losers!!!!!

Someone's jealous.

No. They haven't won anything yet. The Canes have but the Sabres haven't. Remember the Presidents Trophy doesn't mean squat in Hockey...They don't scare me and I am only jealous of their overrated record, not their team.

[yeltzen]

Oh yeah, let's not forget to mention the great pass by Recchi. That's two in two games.

[netwolf]

Aside from bad penalty killing, a seeming refusal to shoot on the powerplay, and the inability to generate offense at even strength, I agree with you.

[68forever]

wow buffalo is fast that last shift looked like they were on the pp and they weren't just awesome puck control. maybe MT should tape this game and have the boys watch it tomorrow, buffalo is doing some good things the pens could learn from them.

[NIN]

Indeed. He was FLYING on that play, his speed made it all possible.

[yeltzen]

Oh okay.

[dagny]

TSN ( I think it's Glen Healy) announcer said Sid plays better with a "burr in his saddle".

He also pointed out that Tbo has only 1 win in 2 yrs. Of course, then he said it's gonna stay that way if he doesn't learn to control his rebounds better.

The team's no good?

[yeltzen]

I like this Crosby-Malkin-Recchi line very mucho.
