Pittsburgh (7-5-2) at Carolina (8-6-3)

The Canes took the first meeting with a 5-1 win back on 10-14. Oddly enough, that was probably the Pens' worst game of the year until last night.

The Pens last 5 games:

Code: Select all: Wed, Nov 1 at Los Angeles W 4-3 Sat, Nov 4 at San Jose L 2-3 Mon, Nov 6 at Anaheim OTL 2-3 Wed, Nov 8 Tampa Bay OTL 3-4 Fri, Nov 10 Ottawa L 3-6

The Canes last 5:

Code: Select all: Wed, Nov 1 at Atlanta W 5-2 Thu, Nov 2 Montreal L 0-4 Sat, Nov 4 at Ottawa W 3-2 Tue, Nov 7 at New Jersey OTL 2-3 Thu, Nov 9 Washington W 5-0

Team Stats:

Code: Select all: PIT 2006-2007 Team Stats CAR 16 Points: 17 7 Wins: 7 1 ShutOuts: 0 5 Power Play Rank: 17 19 Penalty Kill Rank: 12 .833 Win % When Leading After 1: 1.000 .800 Win % When Leading After 2: 1.000 .000 Win % When Trailing After 1: .250 .400 Win % When Trailing After 2: .167

Here's hoping the Pens rebound from last night with a solid effort, and more importantly, 2 points.

Let's go Pens!!!

Thanks Dags. I was beginning to wonder if I had somehow toggled invisible mode when I started this thread. Maybe all the stats threw people off. :wink:

Round 2 of Staal vs. Staal, "Stanley" vs "Mouthpiece". Let's get it on!

by **netwolf** on Sat Nov 11, 2006 7:02 pm

Are they going to use that Staal home video EVERY time we play Carolina?

by **Guido** on Sat Nov 11, 2006 7:05 pm

yes, more than likely

also when Jared plays Jed, Jed plays Eric, Jordan plays Jared, Jared plays Eric, Eric plays Jed, and Jed plays Jordan...

Thibault vs. Ward.

Is it just me, or is the camera zoomed in too far even for SD? It's hard to follow the play at all.

I get utterly distracted by NIN and netwolf's comedy hour.... :wink:

As usual yes it is. The only game I've seen this season with the correct camera work was in LA.

Gotta like the Penguins responding to a whipping last night by a decent first few shifts.

Looks like they came out ready to play.

by **Guido** on Sat Nov 11, 2006 7:18 pm

Crosby has 3 shots in the last 5 games, per Paul S.

Ok, does Crosby have a bet about having a good shooting % or what?

PLEASE SID, BE MORE SELFISH SOMETIMES!!

by **netwolf** on Sat Nov 11, 2006 7:18 pm

Great move by Crosby. Too bad no one was around to capitalize on it.

by **netwolf** on Sat Nov 11, 2006 7:20 pm

What are the odds? All that breaks loose and neither Orpik or Cole are on the ice.

by **Guido** on Sat Nov 11, 2006 7:20 pm

Not a bad scrap, Thorburn...not bad at all.

by **NIN** on Sat Nov 11, 2006 7:21 pm

Nice fight THORNY!!

by **Jesse** on Sat Nov 11, 2006 7:21 pm

I really really like Max Talbot.

I also really like Chris Thorburn. Is there anyone this kid won't fight?

They should have sent Thorburn after Mcgratton last night. Thorburn might not have won, but it probably would have at least kept me awake.

I like the way the Penguins have started this game. They are playing like they were when they were winning.

by **cojac** on Sat Nov 11, 2006 7:22 pm

Its nice to have a guy that can actually fight. Besides Cairns

by **DelPen** on Sat Nov 11, 2006 7:22 pm

And that is why who have your fighter as a forward. Thornburn just took off one of the Canes better defensemen for 5 minutes.

He has a wicked shot, he scored some "goal-scorer" goals last season.

by **Corvidae** on Sat Nov 11, 2006 7:23 pm

I'm about to get a Thorburn jersery. I'm lovin' this guy!

by **Nihar** on Sat Nov 11, 2006 7:23 pm

how the hell did we get the extra 2 minutes out of that?

by **Jesse** on Sat Nov 11, 2006 7:25 pm

Here we go. 4:00 for a high stick on Moore. Penguins will have an extended power play forthcoming after Talbot get's out.

The refs gave Talbot the extra two for bumping Ladd.
