This is starting to turn into a full-blown goalie controversy.

Pitt would probablely be a decent team if they get rid of fluery.

Not that I've heard.

They recently unveiled their jersey for the Winter Classic, which includes a throwback logo.  But they will only wear that 3-4 times this year.

The boys are in trouble.  I don't expect them to find their stride until after the all-star break.  God I hope Staal doesn't have any more trouble after the hand heals.

They need some bounces to start going their way. They're not playing that bad, just can't seem to get it done completely. Good thing it's still early.

It just keeps getting worse.  And there is no easy solution.

The dirty little secret?  Kunitz, Talbot, Kennedy, Cooke, Asham, Rupp, Adams, Letestu are all too similar in their skill-sets.  The closest thing they have to a sniper on the wing is Dupuis (laughable).  When your lineup lacks scorers outside of Crosby and a Malkin who doesn't look like he cares out there, you need to lean on your PP.  But the Pens PP is a mess because no one wants to shoot.  PASS PASS PASS PASS PASS PASS PASS PP OVER.

What the heck is up with Geno anyway? He really looks disinterested.

Finally a win.


I've always supported Fleury, even during rough patches.  But.........something is seriously wrong.  If he doesnt' know what it is, it's up to the coaches to figure it out and correct it.  Watch it be something fluky like needing contacts.

I wish it were that simple kid. The second goal has happened wayyyyyy too many times this season already. He has the quickest legs of any goalie I've ever seen, and yet for him to give up that 2nd goal on a missed poke check was unexcusable! (I'm still trying to figure out why Toronto called that a goal anyway). You an really tell he is fighting the puck.
Gotta feel for Engelland as well. Poor kid is getting every goon to wanna take him on.

Theo?

He hasn't played in the NHL for 6 or 7 years! Then again, right now, he would probably be better than our Fleury at stopping pucks!

How can this team come out on fire, take a 2 goal lead into the third, then give up a FIVE spot in the 3rd to lose?? WTF is up with this team so far this year??

I'm going looking for the answer in the bottom of a bottle of gin.

No wait, it's almost winter.  Make that bourbon.

I would if the game I grew up falling in love with weren't being ruined by its commissioner.
