Official Game Day Thread Pens @ Isles, 3/22/2013

Can you imagine Martin playing with a good Top 4 dman. What a change from lat year. I thought for sure he would be bought out this year, not so sure now.

[Shakes]

Looks like they counted Duper's goal.

Vokoun kept this one close in the first. 2nd was pretty even and the Pens edged the 3rd with strong PKs.

[sharpshootr55]

Tanger pied Potash!

[knives of ice]

unreal performance from vokoun tonight.

can't believe how horrible the announcing on root is, just keeps getting worse. as if you pronounce the duck's goalie's name as fast. can't believe we have to listen to these morons every game.

[shafnutz05]

Man, Potash caught that entire thing covering his face

[mikey287]

Not sure if it was said yet (probably just was), but the Dupuis goal does count from Crosby and Vokoun at 19:59.

[Gaucho]

You don't?

[pens#1]

NHL has the game at 4 -2

[joe icepick]

Dupuis deserves a new contract

[Beveridge]

Dupuis deserves a new contract

They'll get it done, I would think, but not until the Summer.

You never do a contract when a player is streaking either good or bad.

[luv66]

OK, Shero was right. I am lovin' me some Suttertron

You don't?

I'm not sure I can properly make the sound, but I believe the closest English word that it rhymes with is "must" ...or so I've been told.

[farnham16]

Paul Martin deserves to be talked about for the Norris. He has been that good.

[penny lane]

Flower probably made Letang do it!

So like "fussed", more or less?

Everyone says "Fah-sth"

[joe icepick]

FAAOOST

Come on.... He is not close to Norris worthy

[mikey287]

It's like "Fahst" meets "must" ...there's a lot of bottom lip involved, I know that much.

[DropEmJayBird]

Sutter has as many goals as Claude Giroux, the best player in the league.

[mikey287]

He won't win it, but he's going to get a few votes if he's this up. Might sneak into the top 12 or 15 in voting. Maybe top 10 if he keeps the points up.

[Shakes]

Paul Martin deserves to be talked about for the Norris. He has been that good.

I agree with this.

People always said of Lidstrom: positionally solid, reads every play in both ends, stick always in the right place, quietly puts up points. That describes Martin this year.

The problem he faces is that Tanger is the media darling (not that Tanger doesn't deserve some of the attention too), and Martin would need to surpass him in points somehow.

Regardless, just glad to see Martin come good. He said he would be lot better, and he is.

[MRandall25]

P-Mart is definitely having a Lidstrom-type season. Offensively contributing enough, and playing solid on the back end
