[Batman15]

Root sports needs to stop the flashing ads under the score/time box... Super annoying.

[NashvilleCat]

Neal almost buries another one

Sully is obviously the weak link on that line.

Geno Crosby Neal

Sully is obviously the weak link on that line.

Sully needs to shoot more.....too many passes

[cbuspensfan]

is anyone else's NHLN feed very choppy? mines almost unwatchable... and not because of craig laughlin this time

Mine's good.

interesting... no other channel is bad but nhln..

When mine came on I thought there was something horribly wrong with the feed but it was just an Ovie close up.

well played, i usually have to mute the pens/caps games because they always choose the washington feed but this chopiness is borderline unwatchable

Root sports needs to stop the flashing ads under the score/time box... Super annoying.

Not as annoying as when they shoot to the crowd doing a cheer and missing a faceoff.

Especially rockin the red with the Verizon one, when we are playing the Caps.

[farnham16]

Heck of a period. Sucks to be up only one after that but we look way better.

[RPKJr429]

Letestu out because of bad play or HCDB wanting to bolster the PK unit?

[Froggy]

Letestu out because of bad play or HCDB wanting to bolster the PK unit?

yes

[cbuspensfan]

Letestu out because of bad play or HCDB wanting to bolster the PK unit?

probably bad play since its tough to bolster a 100% pk unit

[BurghThing]

Sully is obviously the weak link on that line.

Sully needs to shoot more.....too many passes

Exactly! He was brought here to SHOOT THE PUCK! We have plenty of people who are willing to defer to the big guns, why is he here?

[shafnutz05]

Great first period...the key, of course, is to continue this throughout the game

[Luckybreak]

Martin has played pretty well but I wish he could shoot!

[RPKJr429]

Letestu out because of bad play or HCDB wanting to bolster the PK unit?

probably bad play since its tough to bolster a 100% pk unit

Bolster = Having Park over Letestu as another capable body haha.

Oft-injured Islanders goaltender Rick DiPietro left practice Wednesday after taking a puck to the facemask, a team spokesman confirmed.

The 30-year-old netminder, who has backed up Al Montoya the first two games this season, will undergo an evaluation.

DiPietro missed six weeks last season due to facial fractures suffered in a fight with Penguins backup goaltender Brent Johnson in February.

That was one of those periods where you feel nervous because the lead should be more than one. Pens need to keep the momentum early in the second, giving up an equalizer would be a huge let down.

[NashvilleCat]

Geno's skating looks pretty good for a "game time decision"...

Energy Blaster 3000...works every time...just ask Sid

Yeah, you almost expect for the Caps to come out screaming in this period. Hold the fort.

[newarenanow]

Good first period.

They said on the radio side that this is one of those period where they dominated, but only have a 1 goal lead, and the Caps are going to adjust.

ESPN's headline?
