Iginla's just being really attentive to making early changes to stay fresh.

See NHL shift charts (you can drag players up and down to group lines).

First off, sweet website.

Second, why use things like "facts" when you can statements based on your gut.

Pens are looking dangerous early in OT.

[The Yen Man]

Karlsson has looked terrible so far in OT.

After a boring 3rd period, the OT period is back to the exciting hockey that the first two periods were.

Really good game tonight.

[chockfullofgoodness]

I love watching OT when I don't really care who wins. I'm cheering for the Sens but it wouldn't break my heart if they lost. I just love watching meaningful hockey.

Calling Spezza for the win.

To be fair, jaydub wasn't wrong about Iggy's ice time being well below what he's used to, just his interpretation was off.

[chockfullofgoodness]

Malkin's going to end this.

He's really turned it on during OT. It won't take many more Malkin shifts for this game to be over.

Agreed. Bad turnover will lead to a Chris Neil winner.

[The Yen Man]

Hope this is a long OT. Has there been an OT that went to double OT yet this season? I don't recall any.

Watching these clips of Bryan Murray is hilarious. He's going to have a heart attack one of these days. Poor guy.

That's the thing about Malkin - he's always making something happen. Sometimes it's really good and sometimes it's really bad, but he's never invisible out there.

Lemieux is probably thinking "i would have ended this #### by now"

[jayswin]

Iggy with lots of ice time in this ot.

Also, I know it's semantics, but I hate when a player hits a post and the announcer says "he beat the goalie, but not the post". If you don't score, you didn't beat the goalie. If the puck misses the net by 3 inches, you don't hear them say "he beat the goalie, but missed the net".

Agreed, I hate how hitting the post is looked at as beating the goalie. A couple inches either way and the goalie might have saved it.

My sarcasm detector just blew up. But I still think Malkin will score the winner. I hope I'm wrong.

[The Yen Man]

Malkin has looked dangerous every shift he's out there during this OT.

[puckluck2]

Lineups are messed up for the Penguins because of some extra long shifts by Iggy and Malkin.

Cowan's doing a classic Esa Tikkanen shadow job on Crosby when he gets out against him.
