Pens lose again

The Pens lost again tonight. They almost tied the game in a deju vu situation with lastnight, but this time Biron caught the puck and didn't let it cross the goal line.

The defense was at it again taking bad penalties. This time it was "Smelly" Melichar and Orpik. There were about 5 horrific give-aways that almost resulted in goals. Thibault should have played better, but it was a shooting gallery in the first period - and he was the target.

The injury bug struck Recchi in the 2nd period. Not sure what it was. Tarnstrom didn't come out for the 3rd period either. Maybe Mr. T. kicked him off the team. Mario missed the game because of another irregular heartbeat. He should just hang it up now. He contributes nothing to this team and he is going to end up dying if he keeps trying to play. John "chocolate" Leclair missed another game because of whatever ails him. He has been a big bust.

Gongchar played another solid game by his standards. He looked motivated and skated hard. He didn't take a penalty. He was shooting the puck. The young guys played well. Crosby was spectacular. We need to get our defensemen jumping up into plays because Crosby makes all these moves and then the D don't come late to get a scoring chance.

We have a couple days off now and hopefully Mr. T. gets his system installed in this minicamp coming up. Rumor has it that he is going to install the system of Dr. Tarr and Professor Fether after the failure of Edzo's "soothing" system. Only time will tell who is sane and who isn't on this team.
