yes...how convenient....they were dominated from the opening whistle

The pens have had a habit of doing poorly in the first game of back to backs. I think it is because they are concentrating on the second game. They've been doing this very thing all year (crappy play in the first game).

u guys can think whatever u want...2 pts is 2 pts...I thought they were more professional than that

and human nature is human nature. Caps have won 13 straight. It's an NBC game. They knew they had a nightmare of a journey ahead of them because of the weather. Somehow I doubt any of us would be focused on the details against the habs, no matter how professional we are or aren't.



Of note, the Pens apparently didn't arrive in DC until 2:15AM. I wouldn't expect much today when the puck drops at noon.

7-1 Caps.

...looks like another excuse waiting to happen

NBC lol...I`m sure they are more pumped to be on CBC

...looks like the Caps are looking towards their game Wed vs the Habs

I wake up and we are up 2-0 already?! Didn't really expect that.

Yes, pretty sure it was a make up call for the non call on the high stick on Malkin.

Latest rumors according to ecklund. Pens are interested in Ponikorovsky (sp). , Ray Whitney, Selenne (sp.), and my least favorite Sykora. Chances and interest are as follows.

Ponikorovsky: 50%

Sykora: 30%

Whitney: 5%

Selenne: 5%

Anybody hear anything else?

From what I understand the pens would have to wait until the last minute for either ponikorovsky or whitney. Sykora and Selenne could really happen at any time.

I also heard we're in the Raffi Torres rumors. That would be a great pick-up, as he has speed and isn't afraid to get his nose dirty in front of the net.

I can't see us bringing back Sykora when we not only let him leave this fall, he was benched for some of the playoffs in favor of Miroslav Satan last spring. I also heard Disco Dan wasn't happy with him last season, so why ruin the chemistry between the players and the coach?

Can't see Selanne coming, as the Ducks will want too much for him. And it's almost assured this is his last season.
