I agreed! :D

im talking about this thread. I suggested Fleury sit 2 or 3 games, and people were saying Im insane! Truth is he hasnt been good since the leafs game, when he played bad, and the team still won. He has picked it up in Shootouts though. Ill give him that. He has improved his shootouts so much this year. At the beginning of the season, you went into it hoping he stopped 1 shot... Now you go into shootouts just hoping the Pens score 1, because if they score 1, there is a chance they win the game.

The first line is playing really well IMO. A lot of pressure on their side, their transition game is good.

Pretty much every defenseman except Orpik is having a bad game. Fleury is shaky, but Gonch is coasting all game.

Anyone else notice that he is playing with Melichar and Scuds is with Eaton?

Speaking of MO...I was wondering out loud if we would get a 5th 20+ goal scorer this year but MO needs 7 more...If we played Isles every game Malone might score 20 this year haha

Someone just told me Mark Eaton is holding the team back and one of the reasons we won't make it past the first round.

That's the third time I've heard that this week.

If they lose yes. If they win no. This is man's game and if your team is winning you ride until you get bucked off.

Don't screw with a winning streak! Bad karma....

I'm giving my honest opinion, not being optimistic. There's sometimes a small difference, you see.

Gotta feel for Scuderi, he is playing in his home town, and he is having his worst game of the season, lol

The goals allowed in the second period are very correctable.

The Isles' second goal was a bad change by the Pens. Their third goal was because of a terrible outlet pass from Gonchar, which is rare. Their fourth goal was a combination of bad rebound control by Fleury and Whitney not accounting for Satan.

That fourth Penguins goal definitely did hit Staal.

So Crosby won't get the assist.
