Official GDT - Sabres at Penguins 11.15.08

[DelPen]

Pens are 6-3 when trailing after 2.

This is insane.

That is an unbelievable stat.

Didn't we win all of 6 games all of last year when trailing going into the 3rd?

Get used to this folks, when you have an elite goalie and two of the top 5 players in the NHL on your team never be surprised with comebacks in the 3rd.

Now tonight is thr norm, battling back from 1 goal down as opposed to Tuesday when it was 3 but I will not be surprised to see more of these games.

Now if we can only manage to KEEP leads

[DelPen]

Just so I get the protocol correct...

Bad first half = Blame Therrien.

Good second half = Yay Players!

Right?

I think we were blaming Eaton but nice try

Ok, but where can I blame Mike Yeo for all of this? Isn't that mandatory?

[dagny]

8-0

I speak on behalf of all of LGP when I thank you and your liver for your contributions.

Big come from behind win.

That gif is wrong on so many levels.

Did you ever know that Gino's my hero,
and everything I would like to be?

He only gets blamed when the powerplay fails to generate shots, fails to score on a 5 on 3, and/or gives up SHGs. All other shortcomings are usually traced to Therrien, though the current whipping boy (Eaton for now) is sprinkled in at times just to keep things fresh. Somehow, Andre Savard escapes criticism.

So Geno's the wind beneath your wings?

I'm so confused. I'm trying to complain like we usually do after games, but I just can't get the sequence right.

Fight the power! Don't conform! We've got enough windmills around here!

See, it's not as easy as it looks, is it?

You're new to this. If you want to get it down, you're going to have to be willing to work through the rough patches early on.

Good job, Pens! I slept through the game.... glad I changed my pick a pen to Staal.

[stefanh]

So let me get this straight.

In the 6 wins our third line Cooke - Staal Kennedy got 11 goals, I think all at even strenght... Talk about a key stat for the winstreak.

No secondary scoring here...

Cooke has been absolutely fantastic. He leads the league in hits, right?

The third line has been fantastic, and with Staal returning to form this team is SO dangerous.

[heshootsandscores]

Steigy talking about how they moved Mad Max and the pens have won and scored a bunch since his move. What does that say about his play??? Something great for the pens that's for sure!!!

Wake Up RS please sign Talbot before he turns into Malone

Sign him already...and i missed the whole game...Pens win? Go Max!

No,Brooks Orpik leads the league in hits.

That man is frightening. I would be afraid to criticize him - he might come find me and eat my soul.

[cheesesteakwithegg]

cooke is a beast. i wasnt impressed at first, but he clearly has learned his role on this team and is excelling in it.

its funny how now that we are putting pucks in the net on a consistent basis, the mob isnt calling for RS to trade for a winger.
