wow, Ekman... (throws hat onto floor)

[Stoosh]

That might be one of the best goal celebrations I've ever seen.

Nils Ekman..Thor, God of Thunder

[Shinoix]

Remember what Stiegy said at the beginning of the second?

Lighting are something like +36 in goals for and against in second periods...as well as +40 something for shots.

The Pens weren't even close in either of those categories.

Wowwie we turned that stat around.

EKMAN! EKMAN! EKMAN! this kid is tearing up in period number 2

[Pitts]

Crosby swooped right in and picked up that puck for him!

[canaan]

was steigy approving all the line changes?

[Shinoix]

See what I mean about Nils being so happy when he scores? He's like a little kid!!

Is that his first career trick? I noticed Sid grabbed the puck!

[SportsFan]

Alot of these penatlies are due to not having chemistry cause moron keeps switching lines..

Line combos are for practices, keep guys together for a game.. Takes more then 1 shift to build chemistry.

My God Therrien makes Bob Berry look like a genuis.

[NIN]

Somebody HAS to caption Ekman's face. Butcher's dog!!

[Jim]

I am happy for Ekman. Did you see him still smiling and pumping his fist on the bench. Good stuff!

[Pitts]

I'd say that was a GREEEEEEEAT second period! Whooooo!

[DrBoni]

Wow...Lange and Borque are estatic on the radio side. The crowd sounds like they're hopping.

Check out the times on those goals:
15:37
18:19
19:47

That is impressive.

[SportsFan]

Thank God... Now for the Love of God, keep him with Crosby...

Friday he will be on the 3rd line..

[pghteams]

When was the last time we had a F-ing NATURAL HAT TRICK!!!!

[jjwags]

Nils Ekman..Thor, God of Thunder

[Jim]

Crosby swooped right in and picked up that puck for him!

That's the little stuff that I like. True team of friends.

[canaan]

Thank God... Now for the Love of God, keep him with Crosby...

Friday he will be on the 3rd line..

probably for a shift randomly in the second...lol

[Jim]

Thank God... Now for the Love of God, keep him with Crosby...

Friday he will be on the 3rd line..

Friday? Game ain't over yet...

[pghteams]

Anyone else hear Errey talking about taking more shots and good things happen? Excuse me, but this is the Bob Errey that played on the same Pens teams that did not shoot a ton. Pot - Kettle; Kettle - Pot

[canaan]

"right play at the right place"

-nils "broke ass paul bettany" ekman

[NIN]

Ekman reminds me of Straka. He should do a cameo on the DVE show!

[Pitts]

They just interviewed Ekman and that announcer dude was holding the puck and Ekman just yanked it out of his hand! Cool. nils played it down saying he was just in the right place at the right time...BUT IT FEEELS GOOOD!

[Jim]

Nils is still pumped. Did you see that when he showed the puck he looked at it so that he could turn it so the Pens logo was right side up. Like I said... it's the little things that make the difference...

[Shinoix]

Once one goal goes in, a bunch are going to. TB is blocking shots well and as per usual, we're missing the net from the point.

anyone want the lottery numbers? LOL

[Stoosh]

How about that friggin' transition play on the third goal? From the transition out of the zone to the pass to Ekman...wow. Unreal.
