MAF looked like the stud that I think he still is. Also, for a while now, my confidence in the team's ability to come from behind had been very low. Whether they are down late, or they mount a furious comeback to tie it late, I find myself expecting the worst (dumb penalty, wasted powerplay opportunity, backbreaking GW goal by the opponent) whereas last year/ early this season I KNEW we would pull it out. It was good to see them revert to last year's clutch form, and hopegully we continue to see that this year. This team is too good for losses to teams they should beat, a 5-6 seed, and a second round playoff exit.Papa Eohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12769247898632168511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-49688854408335645072010-01-15T12:32:34.453-05:002010-01-15T12:32:34.453-05:00Staal and Gonchar have been unreal lately and that...Staal and Gonchar have been unreal lately and that Crosby fellow isn't terrible, even when he's held off the stat sheet for a night. <br /><br />Malkin looks like he is getting close to busting loose and when he does, look out. <br /><br />Also, I wonder if the Rooneys made any promises to Keith Butler to dissuade him from taking the Miami DC job?BurressWithButterflywingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466557816631165674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-1714206254636480752010-01-15T12:30:10.412-05:002010-01-15T12:30:10.412-05:00I could be getting ahead of myself here, but looki...I could be getting ahead of myself here, but looking at the NHL standings, why have the Pens played 3-4 more games than the rest of the Conference, esp the Atlantic Division? I'm not sure if this will be a good or bad thing. Good: It means the other teams will have an even more condensed post-Olympic schedule. Bad: Could open the door for everyone else to snatch some points and playoff seeding with those end of season games in hand. Just a thought, but all in all, the games played differential just makes the Pens' point total/ cushion in the conference standings/ ground to gain on the 1 seed seem a bit misleading.Papa Eohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12769247898632168511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-77896114487223956782010-01-15T11:16:31.148-05:002010-01-15T11:16:31.148-05:00Looks like they may be turning things around. Fleu...Looks like they may be turning things around. Fleury stealing two games in a row is something he and this team can build on from a confidence standpoint. Goals on the PP in consecutive games might be a first this season too. It would be nice to see the scoring distributed more evenly from game to game, instead of either this line or that one and Geno still needs to find his game (and the net) but I'm more optimistic going into this last game of the road trip than I was at the start.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14645147302738910500noreply@blogger.com
