Interesting stat I heard from Ken and Mickey during the game. The Penguins are -49 during even man situations but lead the league on the PP. Didn't take long to figure out what they were talking about....the Penguins really throw the puck around on the PP and ours looked really disjointed. They scored 2 goals on the PP and we scored 1 in 7 tries. It seemed to me that when the Penguins got the puck in the slot they shot it quickly whereas we tried to make 1 more pass. We passed up a lot of good shooting opportunities whereas they put theirs in the back of our net.

They toyed with us and it was not even funny..
It's amazing that the Pens have already 19 loses...i didnt see anything today that justify that total of lost.
How can you not win if your PP can use Crosby-Malkin-Kessler and Letang !
..and on the Crosby goal Nielsen look like a Peewee B..
And Mantha can only play hard if he is match with Z....He started with AA and Larks and it didnt work.
We have lost two players i believe ? Abby and Helm ?
Sorry for their pain but that is the best thing that coule happen to the Wings. Helms is painful to Watch, same for Abby, even if he has scored a couple lately.
That'll force the brass to use some youth.

I think if Pens played shorthanded the whole game, they would have won anyway.
This was our third worst game of the year.

We have to be intense like a bunch of nutcases till the end of this season. ...and sorry again i feel like saying that Mantha needs a kick in the butt. They gave him Larks and AA early in the game and he couldnt match the intensity of the other two. Then Blashill had no choice but to send him back to Z, the only one who can make him going.... I fear for Mantha's future with the Wings... |

and by the way..did they ask Lil Bert to get a place a bit too early ?
I told you guys that it was a bit premature when it happened, now his TOI is shrinking dramatically...
