We've seen that set play a few times successfully this year

Importance of the face off!!! woohoo...

[Rocco]

Neal just crushed that shot.

[TheHammer24]

Scoring goals off the faceoff like that is huge.

James Neal, baby!

[Pavement]

wow the real deal!

[npv708]

How about some love for Geno on the big faceoff win there!!!

[Fire0nice228]

wooooooooooooo

[Rocco]

So the Pens thought it was a 2:30 start. It happens.

[NashvilleCat]

To start the way we started and be tied at two is encouraging. Let's go boys it's okay if you want to win one by more than one goal.

RDJN's wrister is ovenchicken-on-the-juice good.

[Froggy]

hmmmmm... sid has missed 87 games since his concussion...

[guiner]

Neal just crushed that shot.

Seriously, that is probably the sickest wrister off the faceoff I have ever seen in 30 years watching hockey. An absolute wristed BULLET into the upper corner. insane.

I have 3/5 of the Jets top pp unit on my fantasy team.

I can't believe how hard Neal's shot is given how much flex he has in his stick. The flex he uses is less than some Mite hockey stick flex.

It isn't NHL network audio/video problem, it is the CBC, which generally is the most amazing quality.. thinking they didn't bring their best cameras over the border. Their best announcers are Hughson and Simpson but they usually do the later games.
Yikes .. and this score needs some work!
LET'S GO PENS!

Pretty much. It's part of CBC's Hockey Day in Canada. They're covering 4 games today, plus they have 7 or 8 crews across the country doing local productions with the base crew (Ron MacLean et al) being in Summerside, PEI.

you consider that a fantasy team??

[Froggy]

martin is exceptionally good at making quick decisions with the puck on his stick. say what you will about the rest of his game, but this makes him very good on the PK

Wheeler, Byfulglien, and Enstrom are legit fantasy players.

Love hcdb reaction to the Neal goal

I can't believe how hard Neal's shot is given how much flex he has in his stick. The flex he uses is less than some Mite hockey stick flex.

The flex is why his wrist shot has so much speed. With wrist shots, more (lower) flex means a harder but less accurate shot; for slap shots, the opposite is true.

Why is the EDM/OTT game the only one not at intermission?
