Well here's the dream situation... Malkin, Crosby, Recchi, Gonchar?

You called it!

I hate to say it... but yeltz was right!

[netwolf]

I suppose you could say the game should have never gone to OT, but with the young team they have, I think this was a great win. They kept battling and eventually got rewarded. Good on all of 'em.

Gonchar's nicknames: Sarge, The Gonch, The Potter, Double-Nickel, The Surgeon.


And if he plays badly, Goncharred.

[Rychster]

Take that, you turtleneck geek, YASHIN!!

[yeltzen]

OMG, that bum Gonchar scores! Why isn't he on waivers or traded yet? What a good feeling win, gut check, come back and end it before the shoot out!

TRADE HIM NOW WHILE HIS VALUE IS HIGH!!!

This will help the team alot, with the growing pains. Always have to respect your opponent, they didn't get here any easier than you. Every night is a new night and you have to work. Great effort, great team rebound, a coaches dream...

I like to call him "Corky."

Well good night. Now that Elvis is gone, I'll call it a night as well.

Wish tomorrow was Saturday.

Let's be honest, if I would have told you the Pens would be 3-3 after 6 games, how many of you would have honestly believed it? Very good start by the Pens.

[dogwithshftyeyes]

great all around game. crosby and malkin amazing. leclair and recchi both playing hard. and malone was a beast on the pk.

[Rychster]

2nd place all alone baby! with one game up on the Rangers.

[DelPen]

Looking at the schedule this is the first game we should have won and even then considering the problems we have had against the Isles in recent time even that's not a gimme game.

BTW, if I drink the entire game the Pens win. I ran out of beer after Malkin scored last night, I took no chances and got a 12 pack for the game tonight

Saturday is just another game, have to focus on each one and realize that sometimes you will not perform. Until the playoffs start, it's all about today and tomorrow. (this is not an endorsement to say the Pens will make the playoffs, it's about the grind of the season)

should be a good test. they got a lot of fire power

Oh yeah that should be a great game! I am terrified of Thibault starts however and I think he will get one.

[Brode]

And those people who talked about Whitney going to WBS must be feeling bad now. The kid sucks up minutes. 28 and change tonight, and in every area. He's got 26:19 on the year, and he's 13th in the league (before tonight). Same area as Pitkanen, Wideman and Phaneuf, but Whit's got much more short-handed minutes than them. He's just a stud.

If the team can stay near .500 till around December, they'll make the playoffs. The team is just soo young to compete all year but if they can get through the growing pains and be within striking distance, I like their chances.

I'm not afraid if Tbo starts, this is more of team than we ever have had in the last 5 years.....
