Keep digging, we are almost out of the hole.

Now everyone that bad mouthed martin changing their tune or denying bad mouthing him. Amazing what a few pts will do.

Haha. That stat line looks familiar.

What type of player were you? High scoring, heart & soul or playmaker? I want a comparable.

I agree. Not only a few points but his overall decision making during the games and confidence on the ice. Looks rejuvenated.

Crazy game.

Congrats to Martin for coming to play this season!

He wanted to redeem himself here and not be traded in the offseason. Glad to see he is doing that.

Criticism was universal on Martin. Including Ray Shero and Paul Martin himself.

Um.......hey, like for real, did we need another penalty? Just wondering.

Neal with another stupid penalty for his book. He's getting worse than Geno when it comes to that.

I'm in such a tough spot with Letang. He is so dynamic and that is something you can't coach but you also can't pay a guy 7M/yr to make mental errors like that.
- Gunner Staal

His play on the pk contributed to 2 goals. Obviously not a direct result because its rarely 1 guys fault. Just not disciplined though

I can confidently say I never wanted him moved. He is overachieving offensively right now but it's all the little things he did with the Devils that he is starting to do again with the Pens now.

So.......another hole to dig our way out of, feels llike Groundhog Day. Again. Again. Again. ECT.

I agree. He flashes more brilliance than brain arts but if he didnt skate like the wind he would get into a lot more trouble than he does.

nope, ill still trade him

Agreed! Stock can only go up right?

I'm in the same boat. I thought his play was underwhelming but realistically there was no trade available in that the Penguins would have received the better player.

I started Vokoun and Lundquist in a different draft and they both have red light burns on their necks.

Unbelievable.... does feel like a game against the flyers.

He's also not being asked to do too much this year. That helps too.

Some comeback.

SCOREEEEE!!!!! 4-4 baby!!!!

For Hemsky

Keep the game manageable and you give yourself a chance. You never know in hockey.

And snow on their asses. Don't look now but out of the hole, for now. I have no idea what the third period holds from this Chinese fire drill that we call the Pittsburgh Penguins.

What a crazy period.

He was bad last year there is no way around that. Sometimes you have to give a player a chance to rebound. I'm pretty sure there were a good amount of people with pitchforks out after Gonchar's first year in Pittsburgh.
