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

[NIN]

I wish Therrien would verbally abuse some players some players on the bench. Some really deserve it.

I'd be happy if he just comes up with a better strategy of getting the puck into the zone on the power play, keeping it there, and generating some offense once it's set up. But right now, we can't even get the damn thing set up.

If you're going to dump it in because they're stacking guys at the blueline, they have to have someone to chase it in. They can't skate it in, so they dump it in, but no one busts their tail to dig the puck out.

Frustrating...

Malkin should be carrying the puck up ice and working a point.

Recchi should. Let him and Gonchar play the point
Staal, Crosby, Malkin on the forwards

Recchi can lug it on the second unit. Malkin and Gonchar work the point on the top unit. Recchi and Whitney on the second unti.

UNIT 1
Ouellet-Staal-Crosby
Malkin-Gonchar

UNIT 2

Armstrong-Talbot-Ekman
Recchi-Whitney

[Stoosh]

Sick move by Crosby kicking the puck up, and how about that blind pass by Malkin?

I get the sense quite a bit that those two are so far ahead of many of the other guys on this team in terms of their pure skill. It makes me wonder sometimes if some of the problems this team has generating offense is due to the fact that no one else on this team sees the game the same way Crosby and Malkin do.

[redmosqui]

This was just horrific...the PP tonight honestly made me angry and embarrassed....I just stopped watching after the 4 minutes of PP time and nothing...forget it.

[KG]

Boy, another 3 1/2 years of Gonchar

[NIN]

ORPIK AND sCUDS MAN THE POINTS AND ALMOST GIVE UP A SHORT HANDED GOAL.

Scuds has blocked at least 3 shots !!

Not that time. But nice try at a delayed retort.

[Guins]

Oh this ought to be good the moron head coach calls a timeout to come up with a secret play

[NIN]

He was fined fifty dollars for public urination!!

Buffalo 3 Sid 2

[Shinoix]

Remember what I said earlier. We'll score and press hard for a third, but come up short.

Now if we attain wicked pressure, my prediction will come true. LOL

[Stoosh]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He washes windows, too!

SIDNEY CROSBY!

[Shinoix]

[NIN]

Oh look. Puck on net. Goal.

Ouellet is a genious.

[KG]

Good hustle there Whitney, way to bust it...

[Shinoix]

great skating by Whitney to prevent that goal....like I've always said, he turns 10 seconds too late!

What a joke.

[Guins]

Oh look. Puck on net. Goal.

YES amazing things can happen when you shoot the puck

[Jesse]

WAY TO SKATE AFTER THE PUCK HARD THE ENTIRE WAY WHITNEY. WAY TO KEEP UP THAT SPEED AND REALLY MAKE A PLAY WITH AN EMPTY NET.

EDIT: I HATE YOU.



Someone, please, feed me the "Oh but he's a great offensive dman and his +whatever and he's blah blah"

SHUT UP. HES SUCKING.

[relantel]

drat

[yeltzen]

Atta girl, Whit. Just give up on the play.

[Shinoix]

Hate is a really big word, but I honestly think I hate Whitney. Even more than Tucker! Even when he plays decent, I still hate him. haha

[cs6687]

Drury cheats on faceoffs. He moves forward before the puck is dropped. His skates are not set on the faceoff lines.
