My irrational thoughts on this game so far:
-Every game the Pens lose, I am going to give the “injured” players some of the blame until the Pens (and the NHL in general) becomes more transparent with injuries. All I know is that players that would be helping have apparently been practicing with no issues yet refuse to play.
-If Fleury was in net tonight, the Canes would have 2 goals…..TOPS.
-The Pens look slow tonight, and yet still came back with 3 goals in the 3rd. Even when this team is not firing on all cylinders, they are a scary good bunch.
-Sullivan out for the third and the offense comes alive….coincidence?
