Prudential Center

Listen to the game at [WXDX]

Know the Enemy:

"It's one of those 4 point swingers. While the offense was certainly firing on all cylinders the other night, the defense had noticable lags. Pittsburgh is a much more potent team offensively than the Rangers and the Devils will need to concentrate and those defensive lags tonight. The Penguins are 4-0-1 since returning from the Olympic Break so to say that this is a hot team would pretty much be spot on."

A huge divisional game for the Pens.
The Devils sit four points behind the Penguins, but they have played two fewer games.
The Pens have played Snooki to the Devils' angry gym teacher in a bar this entire season.


New Jersey is 4-0 against Pittsburgh this year.
The Devils have outscored the Penguins 14-2.
The last two games have been shutouts for Brodeur.

This is the first time the Penguins will play against the Devils with Kovachoo in the New Jersey line-up.
He has three goals and five assists in ten games with the Devils.

"I was part of the organization for a couple months and I just want to show them that they made a mistake trading me."

Martin Brodeur


We posted this a few months ago, but it's good enough to post again:


Of course, if Martin Brodeur really is pregnant, he'll soon begin cheating on himself with his sister.

Burn it to the ground.

Hey guys, favor...

A couple of weeks ago someone on here mentioned some wing place in the North Hills on Babcock that has 25 cent wings during Pens games.

Does anyone know the name of the place? I'm strapped for a place to watch the game.

Thanks.

#23 CuntwaterMcGee 2010-03-12 19:28
Skoula needs to realize that he's a cheap pickup for a team who just blew their entire salary cap on Kovaljoke. We're talking about a guy who once was minus-2 on one shift. (I think)

That said, I really like our defensive core now. When your seventh defenceman is Jay Mckee, you're in good shape. People point to the number of goals and chances we give up, but I don't pin that on the D. It's just the style of play Bylsma employs with the team. The opponent is going to get odd-man rushes and score goals, but we are going to score more.

I'm not trying to hate on BJ, but it was obvious he was not ready to play that game yesterday. Fleury in net, and I bet we had 2 points in regulation. I have a feeling Flower will be ready tonight.

Oh man I hope we beat the Devils tonight. If we lose this game I may kill myself, for only the fact that I sat through another boring-ass New Jersey game. Last night's game was exciting and entertaining. This game will be boring as hell, with the neutral zone trap in full effect.

DO IT. GO PENS!!

Martin, may I remind you that the Pens were your third team this season. Your third team. Two teams cut you even before the season started. What's next, are you gonna have some supergrudge because the Leafs traded you for a late draft pick?

Skoula did his job while he was here. He was even a #2 at one point when the Pens lost damn near every defenseman they had. He was a serviceable 6/7 defenseman that could fill in whenever needed. They didn't make a mistake trading you. You were traded because a) there wasn't any room for you, and b)with the trade of Poni, some money needed to be moved. If you're sitting in the pressbox and you just happen to be within that number needed to clear the cap, guess what? Yeah, pack your bags.

Even Tron Carter knows how well traveled Skoula is. Tron, the Devils are which team for Skoula?



His "fif" team. Even Mike Sillinger is impressed.

Devils had a lot more offensive zone time than I expected to see. Thus far, it hasn't been the boring 1-3-1 'trap' bore-fest I expected. I suppose that's due to the Crosby goal, which came on a 2-on-1. Which defenceman was caught? Could it have been.... Skoula? It'd be funny as shit if it was.

Only thing worse than watching the Devils steal one is having farking Chico Resch tell you about it in his puck-addled Gomer-style.

Holy shit did the Devils pay off the refs before this game or what?

Not that the Pens are playing that great or anything, but jesus christ this is one of the worst officiated games I've seen all year.
 
 
#140 shuvel55 2010-03-12 22:19
This is just plain terrible. Unforgivable officiating. Words cant express how much anger I feel right now. New Jersey isnt that good, fuck them. DO IT

First time in years I stopped watching a game early.

That is just godawful officiating.
 
 
#144 Kyle 2010-03-12 22:25
can't really blame MAF for that 3rd goal, although I was DEFINITELY ready to, since he got interfered with by Zajac.

that 2nd goal was definitely sieveblog on MAF's part, kicks out the soff rebound himself to Green(e?) and then watches Green(e?) wind the fuck up and blast it past him with no screen or deflection.

ehhhhh, MAF still needs SOME scoring support, so one can't fault him completely.

#147 Schide66 2010-03-12 22:26
That said, I counted about 4 different things various Penguins could have done to prevent that second goal. If they could have stopped that then NJ wouldn't have been able to go into boring-as-shit trap mode.

God I hate watching New Jersey play. At least with a team like the Craps or Flyers the actual game is usually exciting. The Devils? Yeah good luck with that.
 
 
#148 Schide66 2010-03-12 22:29
Pretty much the worst game for the PP to dry up.

Still have a good chance to win the division if they can win next week.

Although to do that I'm pretty sure they're going to have to score more than 1 goal. Because they sure as hell aren't getting a shutout.

Puke officiating. Poor Flower, he deserved the win.
 
 
#155 abber32 2010-03-12 22:34
The officiating was total garbage.

Flower deserved way better then that. But then again he also deserved a bit more offensive support too.

FUCK!Quoting CuntwaterMcGee:
Oh man I hope we beat the Devils tonight. If we lose this game I may kill myself, for only the fact that I sat through another boring-ass New Jersey game. Last night's game was exciting and entertaining. This game will be boring as hell, with the neutral zone trap in full effect.

DO IT. GO PENS!!

Please don't kill yourself. Do something constructive, like sending a box of feces to Jacques Lemaire.

So who else spotted Kovalchuk cherry picking? I noted it at least twice, one in the first I think, and then the obvious one on his breakaway.
 
 
#166 CuntwaterMcGee 2010-03-12 22:50
I thought the Pens played a very good game, despite what some of you may think. If not for the strange 'charging' 5-minute major, and having to kill off penalties for half of the second period, they couldn't get to their game. They did in the third, saw a lot of good plays, but UncleDaddy was just too good. I think he must step up his game when he plays the Pens, because he never, NEVER gives up a soft goal against us. Not this year anyway. I can't imagine a season sweep, but I guess we'll find out in a few days.
 
 
#167 Smitty 2010-03-12 22:51
Regarding the Adams charge:
On the replay, a Devil played the puck w/a high stick. The official signaled high stick, when Skoula touches the puck, They blow the play dead. Adams hits Skoula. They were probably going to call a 2min charge, but, since Skoula got cut, They gave Adams a major, based on the following, from the NHL rule book.

43.3 Major Penalty – The Referee, at his discretion, may assess a major penalty, based on the degree of violence of the check, to a player or goalkeeper guilty of charging an opponent (see 43.5).

43.5 Game Misconduct Penalty - When a major penalty is imposed under this rule for a foul resulting in an injury to the face or head of an opponent, a game misconduct shall be imposed.

If Adams didn't hit Skoula after the whistle, They may not have called a penalty at all (IMHO).

Really, that seemed to be the turning point in the game to me. The Pens killing a major penalty, then killing at least one minor, possibly 2. All in the second period. Going back to the first period, the Pens were playing the Devils very tight. By the time the end of the second came around, you could see the fatigue of the Pens. Lots of turnovers, errand passes, sloppy play. No excuses, but they had to be tired, in a back-to-back situation and killing 9 minutes of PP time.
