I want the Pens to bitch slap these tools as payback for last week

 

[evolver115]

I'll take a W first and foremost. If Lappy or Downie want to take a run at Ovechtrick, that would be an added bonus. He deserves a dirty hit in this eye for an eye, old testament garage league.

 

[element1286]

If they are going to run anyone, let it be Backstrom. Ovechkin is just too strong, go after his little brother. Make sure Ovechkin knows why Backstrom is getting the business too.

 

[pixburgher66]

I'll simply take a win. Though, if history is to be trusted, we could have a horrible regular season against them only to beat them in the playoffs. Because that's Caps-Pens.

 

[3riverbabe]

Works for me. I'm looking forward to tonight's game. Most probably we'll be getting sleet, snow and/or freezing rain, so it's a good night to stay in & watch the Pens.

 

[element1286]

In all seriousness, how many times have we seen the Pens dominate a team in the regular season, and crap the bed against the same team in the playoffs? Answer is a lot, Isles, Blue Jackets, Bruins off the top of my head. Would be nice to have that go the other way for once.

 

[scoutyjones2]

I want a solid, physical game tonight with Downey or somebody laying into Holtby and Ov

 

[evolver115]

Wilson of the caps skated over to Malkin in the warmup to give him a shove.

 

[evolver115]

Nice play by Geno. He set it on a tee for Hornqvist. 1-0 good guys

 

[thedddd]

Maybe more people should shove Malkin in warmups? Nice to see him flying out there.

 

[thedddd]

LOL...."Never thought I would see Tocchet play the role of peacemaker"

 

[element1286]

So that just happened.

 

[element1286]

Well, good and bad. Too many penalties, but gave up none and got a shorty. Had all the momentum, but gave up a goal with 8 seconds left.

 

[evolver115]

Hopefully Scuderi is ok. They just managed to get Ehrhoff back tonight. Would be a shame if they just lost another defenseman.

 

[element1286]

Great shot by Sid, love him shooting on the move like that.

3 penalties in a row for each team, all 6 were obvious calls.

 

[element1286]

Craig Adams two times on the pk the puck is within a foot of the blue on his stick, and he gets muscled off both times. Utterly useless out there.

 

[evolver115]

Washington will empty both barrels trying to get back into this one. Really exciting game. They have to to play smart and stay out of the box. Hopefully they can kill what's left of this penalty

 

[element1286]

Ugh, Scuderi with bad positioning. No excuse to get beat to the net like that on a 2 v 3.

 

[evolver115]

Ugh, Scuderi with bad positioning. No excuse to get beat to the net like that on a 2 v 3.

yeah, Scuds looks gassed. Might have something to do with the amount of penalties he's killed tonight.
