Pens are hosed - Malkin has a "short term lower body injury" and Crosby is a "game time decision" because I guess he felt sick* yesterday so if that game is any indication get ready for Nick Spaling and Brandon Sutter as 1C and 2C and a whole lot of dump and chase

*not actually mumps but gotta make the obvious joke

Why did the Flyers recall Cousins

Are they benching Rinaldo???

Crosby not making GBS threads himself or actively puking... I'll take it.

That was a dumb penalty on Perron's part so it's no surprise they converted!

CBJSprague24: Dec 5, 2010; another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

I'm glad Marek Zidlicky wasn't a fantastic acquisition the other night when he let Scott Hartnell in behind him for an easy one-timer goal despite standing in front of the net himself.

Pens' thirds still rule.

Luckily with the PIMs the Pens have been racking up this season that you could use this for any game :iamafag:

Wow, they really don't like to whistle net off moorings in Pittsburgh now do they?

Oh look, another player not wearing a visor gets an eye injury. I really think the NHL should make them mandatory.

All new players have to wear them so it will be 100% eventually.

Refs already hit the pressure release by giving Downie a 10 min misconduct

Starting this year, they are like helmets in 1979. If you are shieldless and played in the NHL before this season you have the choice of shield or no shield. All new NHL players starting this year must wear a shield.

All AHL players regardless of experience must wear a shield.

Also. what was that Misconduct for?

10 minutes for being Steve Downie.

Jesus christ that was a dumb move by Downie there. I'm quickly getting over that dude. Whatever goals he scores are cancelled out for poo poo like that.

So does Downie get an automatic suspension for abuse of an official for that?

He didn't stop trying to engage the opponent after the whistle... annnnnnd ran into an official knocking him over in the process.

Downie is an idiot.

Dude has something like 5 points in 7 games since coming here. He's been great, even if he's mediocre at best in his own end.

edit: 6 in 7 now with the second assist on Pulk's goal.

This is going to be another game where the Pens don't score past 2.

Therefore... game over.
