OFFICIAL GDT: PENS vs Flyers, 3/24/13

[offsides]

Great......................Kunitz to the dressing room. Probably upper body.

[npv708]

The most penalized team in the league has clearly learned the err of their ways and have only received 2 minutes worth of penalties in 40 minutes of play, against their most hated rival...

Seems legit.

[nocera]

Pierre says Kunitz is on the bench.

[Froggy]

looked like a clean hit, although a replay would have been nice, nbc

[DelPen]

Eaton and Nisky will make a great 3rd pairing in the playoffs if Despres plays with Letang

refs have let stuff go on both sides. there is no conspiracy to give the pens more penalties than the flyers.

[DelPen]

So interference or hooking isn't a penalty anymore. Cool.

[Faubert5]

I guess we're playing with penalties turned off for now.

[shafnutz05]

Tk.....

Didn't say there was. Just saying its odd that the most penalized team in the league only has 1 minor penalty in a game so far. That's like saying its odd that the baseball team that strikes out the most over halfway through a season only has one strikeout through a game.

And you can't honestly tell me what Courturier (sp?) did on that play against Dupuis was anywhere close to being a clean hockey play.

[DelPen]

Kennedy did a line change with 8 seconds left while we had the luck in their zone?

[Henry Hank]

Pens are playing great. Obligatory bad goal against the Flyers by Fleury is the difference.

[BfromD]

One bad bounce aside, Pens playing strong on the puck and, more importantly, not acting like morons as has been the case in every Flyer game I can remember of recent vintage. They will stick to the system and get one by Bryz in the third. I smell a SO victory.

I have a hard time calling that a bad goal, more like a bad break.

If it isn't a conspiracy, what is the reason for the non calls?

Sutter with the obligatory third period goals.

[DelPen]

That was a horrible goal to give up by Fleury

[skullman80]

the reason for the non calls is that NHL refs don't call things consistently. sometimes then pens get the good side of that, sometimes the bad.

Thanks for pointing that out so I didn't. That said, you can't win if you don't score so that one alone can't be the difference. Fleury needs to not allow another. The Pens have missed the net on a number of great chances. They are also outshooting the Flyers and doing very well defensively.

Gross incompetence.

[IMFC]

Really was a nice pass from Glass to Girox for the goal.

[skullman80]

just a bad bounce. glass doesn't tip it fleury is in the right position to stop the shot.

[guiner]

Sid is becoming quite the contrarian in interviews this season.

[iWonTheCup87]

why is it that the Flyers ALWAYS score such garbage goals vs the Pens. Feels like every single time they get a few fluke goals
