FeelTheFORCE Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) Penguins lost to the Islanders! L-O-L! Best of all, Crosby's point streak is over! Wasn't it only about a month ago when the Caps lost 5-0 to the last place Devils? Not to mention the 7-0 shellacking they took against the Rangers a little over 2 weeks ago.

King of Ka Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 ^Three things: 1. People DID talk about it when the Pens beat the Caps in a shootout- several people, including you. 2. To say that the Caps "caught TONS of lucky breaks" is an exaggeration at best. 3. It's a fifteen-year old kid. No need to get up in arms over it.

FeelTheFORCE Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 In other news, Jordan Staal will play in the Winter Classic. I'm glad to see him back, but I wish he could have waited one more game. Now a player who has played all year isn't going to get to play in the Winter Classic, which isn't right in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) Too many giveaways and overall sloppy play by the Penguins. You can't do that against a team like the Capitals and not pay for it. Washington definitely outplayed the Penguins.

King of Ka Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Of course now that you've had the last word it'd just be silly to keep talking. Grow up. Looks like the Caps won the Classic anyway... but I'm willing to bet this totally wasn't a fair game and the Caps just got lucky and the sun was in Crosby's eyes. EDIT: Bad timing, happened to post that just as you posted a concession to make yourself look classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbrcace1234 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Both teams played like crap, but the Caps got that good turn over goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I just see things how they are and give credit where credit is due? Nice try. I'm sorry I'm passionate about the game of hockey and enjoy discussing it, while not always posting everything you want to hear. Sue me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Ka Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I have to think the shoddy play was a result of the choppiness of the ice... sort of a good-bad of the Winter Classic, great conditions for everything except the play surface. Next game I'm really looking forward to is the Stanley Cup rematch, although the Blackhawks seem like a husk of the team they were last year. I expect the Flyers to win, but it'll still be good to revisit the series. EDIT: I just see things how they are and give credit where credit is due That's probably what it is. You're right again!

beatle11 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I'm actually surprised imawesome1124 isn't here gloating yet. It was a fun game to watch. Hope Crosby is ok after that hit he took. It took way too long for him to get on the ice after Fleury went to the bench. Seemed like his head wasn't there and he's the last person you'd expect to not be aware.

imawesome1124 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 ^ That's because I fell asleep before the game ended and was playing Kinect until just now. And I am not going to gloat I am going to say that it was a well played game by the Caps. We got a power play goal an killed off all the penalties. And that was a great fight by Erskine and Rupp, very even fight. The main thing I'm surprised about is that neither Crosby or Ovechkin got a point in that game.

FeelTheFORCE Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 The main thing I'm surprised about is that neither Crosby or Ovechkin got a point in that game. Ha, Ovechkin was trying to be a nice guy and prevent Fleury from falling, but that actually cost him a goal. That was a lose-lose situation.

imawesome1124 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 ^ Me too. It isn't as bad this year, but as many calls they make up to call on Ovechkin, it seemed like that would definately cost him two minutes. But we won, that's all that matters.

FeelTheFORCE Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Nope. They'll be on the 36-man roster though...you can count on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imawesome1124 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Them, Ovechkin, Lidstrom, Nash, expect all of those people to be on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Pens win 8-1 over the Lightning in a showdown for most points in the East. Crosby and Malkin had a combined 2 points. Who says the Pens don't have secondary scoring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Thrill Dragster Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Loved the Stamkos penalty shot. Almost as good as KovalSuck's. Pens win 8-1 and Team Canada loses 5-3 to the Russians. Good night tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeelTheFORCE Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Pens play with no Sid, no Cooke, no Fleury, and 7 defensemen...yet they still get a point. Killed off an extended 5-on-3 also. Crosby is out "about a week" with a concussion, according to Bylsma. As soon as someone returns, another goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imawesome1124 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Caps beat the Panthers 3-2! Ovechkin got an AMAZING highlight reel goal, he had a semi-breakaway and as he got tripped up and was going down he shot the goalie. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Tough game for the Pens. They have never done well against Minnesota to begin with, but they were also using the trap...something the Pens increasingly have trouble with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helped the Isles beat them, among other teams the Isles have beatin' with it recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
