    Good one on Friday. Just concluded.

    Penguins win 5-4 in a shootout at home over Carolina

    Hurricanes scored with less than a minute left in regulation to tie it 4-4

    in the shootout, Letang and Crosby scored while Fleury stopped both attempts by the Canes
  • GoPens
    Pens and Fleury seem to have turned it around as of late. I'm headed to the game on Black Friday. It's an afternoon game--that should be interesting.

    The Power Play is still ass. A lot of hockey left to be played though. Can't wait for the Winter Classic.
  • End of Line
    Sid with a 4 point night (33 points) and only one point behind Stamkos (34 points).

    The PP still sucks complete ass. It has started to look better with Letang and Martin on the points.

    Fleury seems to have regained his confidence, still let in a weak goal to tie the game up.

    Letang has been fantastic by leading all defenseman in the NHL with 18 points.

    Crosby_Show........did I tell you they would turn it around and go on a streak.;)

    Good point by killer, the PP sucks and definitely needs to improve. The way it stands now, opposing teams feel like they can take liberties on the Pens star players and get away with it because the Pens PP is struggling.

    I also think Jordan Staal is close to full recovery, which will be a huge boost!
  • End of Line
    ^^^Staal won't be back until about mid December, and Rock you were right about the streak.
  • rock_knutne
    Yeah Staal won't be back until then but he's close, he's been skating and working out which is a good sign. Think the PK is good now, wait until he comes back.
  • End of Line
    The thing with the PK is that, Talbot and Adams both need to work on their faceoffs along with Geno.
  • End of Line
    Pens won 3-2 last night. Crosby with 2 points to lead the NHL in scoring.
  • End of Line
    Crosby leads all NHL players in all star voting (no suprise there)

    Great to see Fluery get the SO!
  • GoPens
    Hope they can keep it up tomorrow. I'm 0-2 at Consol this year.
  • End of Line
    Pens get the win 2-1!!!
  • killer_ewok
    Nice! Fleury is playing much better now.
  • Heretic
    Team has really picked things up. They're getting great goaltending and doing enough on offense to pull out wins.
  • GoPens
    Fun game to be at, at least they finally won this year when I was there. Fleury made an amazing save and the PP is getting better. Was a little disappointed in some idiots (not many) who booed Gonch when he touched the puck.
  • End of Line
    ^^^I din't like them booing Gonch at all. Btw, I think I could hear a pin drop in Consol.
  • GoPens
    Pens win again over Calgary 4-1 with a Sid hat trick. Johnson in goal today. Everything is clicking for now.
  • killer_ewok
    Pens are hitting their stride now.

    I went down to the game on Saturday.

    First time in the new arena.

    Pens looked good, pretty much every line played well.

    Good to see Sid get his 200th goal of his career.
