And I'd rather see Letang than Dupont...

Too bad Letang is scoring for his Jr Team

indeed.

I would say Staal's been looking good, but i'd be lying.
Staal looks good for an 18 yr old kid who has already hit "the wall."
now, imma go watch the game.

i like dupont so far. it very well could be that he was miscast as a minor leaguer. he came from calgary right? haven't they been ridiculously stacked a D in the last 3 years? tough to crack that lineup, even for a pretty good player.

He's been Penguins property for 4 years.

Staal has been used wrong by MT. I expect alot more in the future.

I wish we had Roy in this game. I just saw him do battle with Parros in Anaheim. I'm sure this comment won't be popular.

Not a Roy fan, but mucho respect for posting an unpopular opinion. Everyone should feel comfortable doing that here!

(I'm serious, btw.)

[Corvidae]

Atlanta only had one shot!?

[dagny]

Random: I'm feeling Buf vs. Anaheim in the finals. Don't know if this has been brought up, just felt like posting it.

(The idiots I'm listening to were recapping the games. Made the thought cross my mind.)

[Kovy27]

16-4 Pens were the shots.

I said that in September....

I really think its Buffalo's year.

To each his own. I don't think Roy would make a difference in this game. All fighters seem to do is fight each other. The people that hit the Pens will still do so even if they have to fight once in a while. I just don't see the point.

Was Roy in the lineup for any of the Atlanta games last year, or was he still on the shelf with the broken orbital bone? I can't remember.

[DrBoni]

that was a bad penalty for Christensen to take.

I think he was on the shelf for the game with the notorious point. Anyway, I see what your saying about fighters just fighting each other, but maybe he could at least go pick on some guys. Even things up a little. Or, more likely, step on the ice, fight "some dude," and return to the bench for the rest of the night. And I'd also like to point out that Christensen is pi$$ing me off right tonight.

[penscup]

Fleury fails to come up big agai.... oh wait he DID come up big there. D'oh.

[68forever]

man is atlanta loud and yet another DUMB DUMB DUMB penalty. pretty soon my computer is going to start writing those words by itself if this team doesn't stop taking them.

[Kovy27]

that was a bad penalty for Christensen to take.

He's 2 for 2 tonight in bad penalties.

[dagny]

that was a bad penalty for Christensen to take.

Again...

He's 2 for 2 tonight in bad penalties.

at least he's batting 100% in something which seems to be what we all want this team to do. to bad it's in the wrong thing.

Guys like Talbot, Ruutu, and Petrovicky can go after people if Therrien gets them off the bench for more than a shift or two per period.

I love Buffalo's team. I really wanted them to win last year. It's hard for me root against the Cup coming to my hometown, though. For Anaheim, it'll be all about the goaltending. If it holds up, don't underestimate them.

(Sorry this is NPR. That's why I posted what made me, post this.)

[DrBoni]

As an aside, I'm really glad that the Pens don't announce "Icing" and "Offsides" over the PA.

[Corvidae]

Why doesn't this team hit!

[netwolf]

Crosby is very good at making plays one handed. Unfortunately, he just got a chance to display that skill because a Thrasher was in his ribs the whole way up the ice. He was so good, the ref was in awe and didn't notice the penalty.

[scpensfan]

Back on the PP. LGP.

[dagny]

Malkin doesn't get enough credit for all the penalties he draws. Thanks, Geno!
