Live Blogging the Wild @ Penguins
Period 1
Shane Endicott had a terrible turnover at the blueline resulting in a breakaway goal unassisted for the Wild's Marion Gaborik in the first two minutes. Thibault settled down after that, because he had too as the majority of the play was in the Penguins zone including having to kill three penalties. Shots were Min 17 Pit 5. And those 5 came towards the end.
Vandenbussche fought with the Wild's Alex Henry toward the end of the period...well he mostly stood in front of him and blocked his punches with his face.
Overall first period was, yuck.
Period 2
The ghosts of Penguins past return to haunt the Pens as the enigmatic Alexander Daigle shoots a one timer past Thibault who has been as under siege as Falluja in this game so far.
Maybe Evgeni Malkin knew what he was doing when he chose not to join this team. He'd rather be freezing his ass in Magnatogorsk than be a part of this mess.
And just when you thought it couldn't get uglier...someone named Wes Walz scored a goal even though the Pens had 5 guys at the net.
Even Bob Errey is criticizing the Pens now. He's dead on in stating that the Pens aren't getting to any pucks. The Wild have already put 25 shots in front of Thibault and there are still 11 minutes in the second.
Edzo has called a time out, presumably to check the job postings in the Post Gazette.
...So with just over 3 minutes to go in the 2nd the Pens have almost no offense to speak of. This is really just poor. The Mellon Arena faithful were booing loudly after the 3rd goal. The team just looks really unprepared to play a professional hockey game tonight.
Period 3
So hopefully Edzo recorded the speech he gave between periods to fire up the team. So that they can destroy the tape.
Two minutes into the third, Brian Rolston puts goal number 4 behind Thibault. If you've been waiting for the Pens to hit rock bottom we may be approaching it. The next two games for the Pens are the Avalanche and the Red Wings.
I think I saw Manny Fernandez ordering a hot dog and an IC Light from a vendor...during play,
Daigle makes it 5-0. I hate that his name is spelled Daigle ryhmes with bagel but is pronounced Day-ga ryhmes with vague.
Well the Raging Bull, Manny Fernandez gets the shut out... and then his ingenious manager Paul Jones came down to the ice with a metal folding chair and ....wait that's a different Manny Fernandez.
This is as poor as the Penguins have played and given this season that's saying alot.
