Game Thread: Penguins GNT/GDT week 7 (Nov 16 - Nov 22)

[Darkstone42]

We have a really good fourth line.

 

[Darkstone42]

A sigh of relief for Sid, I think, as he buries the breakaway from Dupuis.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

SKID!

 

[Darkstone42]

Held on, another win.

Holy schnikes...he scored! Pens win!!!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'll be going to Dubai next month for about 2 weeks (December 3rd-December 20th). If someone is willing to take over the duties of posting the game week threads, would be really cool of you. I'll try to post the game day threads if I can, but not sure how much internet access I'll have over there (didn't have very reliable service when I went to Costa Rica earlier this year).

Be safe

 

[Darkstone42]

The Pens look great out of the gate.

 

[Darkstone42]

Hooking on another good rush for the Pens' fourth line, and the Pens are on the powerplay.

 

[Darkstone42]

Sharks push back after the kill, and Burns buries the rebound, Sharks up 1-0.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Kessel ties it at 1!

 

[Darkstone42]

Kessel ties it up on the powerplay, and still 2 minutes of powerplay time left, as Kessel buried it with a second left on the first of the double-minor.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Another bad offensive night. No matter, I expected as such going into tonight. Thought we would go 0-3 this week, instead we went 2-1, I'll take it.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Defense seems to be sucking tho. Giving up 3 goals every game.

 

[scoutyjones2]

Those were hoky goals but guess who's on the ice for them just floating around? Skid, -2 with 1 SOG! He's worthless...gives up the puck, floats around, doesn't hit or defend...POS!

 

[Darkstone42]

I love the way Martin Jones goaltends. He's so quiet and controlled. Everything he does looks casual, even the tough saves. The Sharks got themselves a heck of a netminder in him.

 

[scoutyjones2]

It helps to be 6'4"

 

[Darkstone42]

It helps to be 6'4"

Yeah, and he uses his size well to fill up the net. I was especially impressed with how easy he made the save on Letang's one-timer from the slot look. That was a good shot, stick low, from a great scoring area, and he made the save look easy by anticipating the play and getting out high early. Very good goaltending.
