Pens at Toronto

Hey pens fans,
Tonight, the Pens will take on the Leafs for the final time this season. It looks to be a good game. Thibault is expected to start, but Therrien could change his mind. Well, my post for tonight will be late, due to an event I have to attend. So, look for it in the wee hours of the morning, with my usual coverage. Let's Go Pens!

Here are the goals:
Malkin (PP) from Gonchar and Roberts
Crosby (PP) from Gonchar and Roberts
Roberts (PP) from Crosby and Whitney
Malone(SH) from Staal and Eaton
Crosby from Armstrong and Christensen

To start off the game the Pens had to kill off 6 minutes of penelties, which they did. It was a good game and no one did poorly. If the Pens keep this up, these last few games will be good. I was at the game this afternoon and then had some moving to do, so I apologize for the post being so late. I have to run now to pick up a friend at the airport, so let me know what you thought of today's game in comments.

Pens Defeat Thrashers and a question

Hey pens fans,
This afternoon the Pens took on the Thrashers here in Pittsburgh. They won the game with the final score as 2-1. Thibault was in goal for the Pens and he played a solid game. His play lately we be benificial should we need him in the playoffs. Ouellet scored first for the Pens from Roberts and Malkin. It remained 1-0 into the third period, when Atlanta tied it. Jordan Staal scored a weird goal, that involved a bit a of luck to make it 2-1. He was assisted by Malone and Melichar.
Now, as most of your are aware fighting has been a hot topic as of late with reasons such as the Simon incident. Do you think that the league needs to do something and if so, what? Let me here your comments and they will be included in apost on fighting. Personally, I think fighting has a place in the game, but it needs to be more regulated and more harshly punished for severe injuries. Let me know what you think and feel free to argue with me. I like a good fight.

Pens Fall on the Island

Hey pens fans,
The Pens lost 3-1 to the Islanders tonight in Long Island. Armstrong scored te Pens lone goal and was assisted by Roberts and Gonchar. Fleury stopped 21 of 24 shots. The Pens played fairly well tonight, but couldn't get it done. Parts of the game turned into a bit of a free-for all. It was frustrating to watch, because of the way the game turned out. Hopefully, it will go better this weekend.
