Welcome back, Z!!!
Malkin draws a penalty early.
Correction… no penalty!
Cooke draws one, though… a high stick. 2 min PP for Pens.
Cooke leaves the ice a bit dazed. Off for quiet-room testing,
Watching the way Matt Cooke left the ice, there is no way he should be allowed back on the ice tonight. That is a first guess so I can hammer them later.
Jets blow a shorthanded breakaway, then hit crossbar on a second one.
Jets on PP now.
With so many players experiencing delayed onset of concussion symptoms, best bet is to hold Cooke out. But he’s back out there…
Penalty is on Fleury.
Matt Cooke returns. Already.
Asham and Glass square off after Glass rocks Malkin. 5 each for fighting.
Fantastic glove save by Fleury after losing his stick.
1-0 Pens
Joe Vitale buries a rebound.
Picard the lone assist.
I see that West Virginia is playing Baylor in some holiday tournament in Las Vegas. I hope they removed all coffee tables from Bob Huggins’ room.
End of 1st: 1-0 Pens
Ice needs a good scrape. Lots of odd bounces, fanned shots, lost pucks..
Sign of the times:
I’m watching the game on NHL GameCenter
I’m following Dejan and the all the others on Twitter
AND
I’m posting here on the blog.
Life as a Pens fan is good these days.
Dave – I was explaining to the kids that you actually had to get up to change the channel. Whatever you watched at 10:00, that’s the station you watched the news at 11:00.
How true!
Burmistrov ties the game at 1-1
Serious decibels in the building right now.
Sullivan stoned on a breakaway
12:48 Sullivan 2 minutes for tripping
Pitt just lost to Wagner. At home. Feh.
16:58 Byfuglien 2:00 for Slashing
First win for Wagner vrs a ranked team in 33 years!!!!!!!!
UNNNNN believable.

#NealShootsHigh!
2-1 Pens start of third

Offsetting penalties Burmistrov and Malkin

Sullivan 700th point on the assist to Stall’s goal
Dupuis scores to make it 4-1 Pens at 04:54
Shots on goal extremely deceptive stat tonight. Jets have shot about a zillion times this game and missed the net on many more than half of them.
Pens on PP again as Antropov trips Malkin
I think Dan Bylsma should have to wear that sweater until they lose.
Niskanen 2 min. for tripping late in game. Winnipeg leaves goalie in net.
