Well the season starts well for the Pens, hanging on to a shootout victory over Vancouver last night. Pretty entertaining game to watch, with some great(and also shaky) goaltending by both teams. Oh, and because it will never happen again:
Matt Cooke leading the league.
Just had to do it.
Two power play goals for the Pens in the first game???? Holy ****, hope they're not shut out for the rest of October.
Good to see that Sid is traveling with the team. A friend back in the 'burgh says the latest rumor is Nov 1. But who knows.
HI, GUYS!
I'm pretty happy the season started and if this rumor about Sid is true I'd sure be much more happier!
The Pens looked confident and strong in their first game. They sure deserved to win that night.
But hey... two goals from Cooke!!! That's fantastic, don't you think? :bt
Goals from your grinders are always good. Getting the shorty really was a momentem swing.
Malking was a little frustrated the other night. He's trying to do too much. There's enough talent for him to not dangle and drag all the time. Get it deep in those cases.
I liked the way the role players played. Vitale, Cooke, Adams, Asham. THey all played well. Was REALLY happy with Vitale, he played his heart out.
SUch a difference in the PP so far this season. Its good having Sullivan bring up the puck instead of Letang. The setup in the zone and quickness to shoot the puck is very refresing also.
Great come-from-behind for the Pens last night! Everybody did a fantastic job!
One more game and the Pens will finally have some rest. Well deserved I'd say!

Sid the kid Crosby has been out for the most of the season. To fill in his space Evgeni Malkin has been playing on the first line. And Malkin has proven that he can handle playing in the first line well, leading the NHL in points. But if Crosby comes back as healthy as he was before (that i...
The Pens will carry 23 players(13 forwards, 8 defensemen and two goalies) to begin the season.
Forwards:
9 Pascal Dupuis
10 Tanner Glass
14 Chris Kunitz
15 Dustin Jeffrey
16 Brandon Sutter
18 James Neal
24 Matt Cooke
25 Eric Tangradi
27 Craig Adams
46 Joe Vitale
48 Tyler...
With Staal and Big Z gone, it looks like our lineup right now is:
Kunitz - Crosby - Dupuis
Neal - Malkin - x
Cooke - Sutter - Kennedy?
Various hoagies and grinders
Orpik - Letang
Martin - Niskanen
Despres - Engelland
Well the PK is one of the big concerns for the Pens this season. Ranked in the top 5 the past two seasons, the unit is now ranked 23rd. Only difference, no Jordan Staal.
Staal wasn't he best at the faceoff dot, but that big frame and long reach prevented alot of oppurtunities.
