Not just a PP, but a 5 on 3 PP!
The Pens' D-zone coverage was AWFUL
The Pens' rebound control left a lot to be desired.
The "puck luck" went all the 'Hawks' way...the Pens either got stoned or flat out missed on at least 3 breakaways/partial breakaways.
Sheary was -5, Sid ended up -4. And the Pens' seemed a step slow, all night long. In the yahoo Game thread, Pens' fans expressed real doubt on their 2nd and 3rd D-Pairs.
Crawford had an excellent game for my guys, and the young guys on Chi's 2nd and 3rd pairs weren't really tested.
It is good to have the NHL underway again...and be back chatting pucks with my friends here at CalPuck.
Good luck to your Flames, I hope that Jagr gels with the young quick guys that you are trotting him out with.
Again, I am working 2nd shifts at the hospital, and will be, mostly, unable to post in GTs in real time.
