Why Fleury's number is stained red? I thought it was blood

I wish the pens played this good defensively earlier in the year, he'd be a Vezina nominee for sure

Is it too late for that? I'm sure people are taking notice of that.

Team Notes:

The Penguins second-period goal was the 22nd time this season they have scored the first goal of the game, tying them with Montreal for the most in the league.

Pittsburgh owns a 13-0 record when leading after two periods this season.

The Penguins have gone 10-1 this season in one-goal games. They have won eight-straight one-goal games.


Player Notes:

Sidney Crosby scored the Penguins first goal of the game, his 15th of the season, which extended his NHL-best point total to 54 points (15G-39A). Crosby also extended his point streak to five games (3G-4A-7PTS).

Chris Kunitz and Brooks Orpik recorded the assists on Crosby’s tally. Kunitz’s assist was his 23rd on the season. Kunitz has 11 points over his last nine games (5G-6A). Orpik now has eight assists over his last 20 games.

Marc-Andre Fleury has only given up three goals over his last 14 periods of play. Through two periods tonight, Fleury has stopped all 24 Montreal shots and 130 of 133 (.977 SVP) over that stretch.

Tonight Brooks Orpik is playing In his 619th career game, tying him with Ron Schock for sixth place on the franchise’s all-time list.

Filly is TERRIBLE. They are playing like a bunch of individuals. I'm glad they are going to get buried out of the play-offs.

Can't watch the game. Subjected to Philly v. Rags. 25-12 being outshot and you are calling it good defense?

How does B. Morrow look?

The way the Pens are fired up, I am not liking it. Leads me to believe Fleury is hurt, fearing concussion.

At the start I thought he was a bit out of sync but got better as the game went on. Had a few good shifts and is being physical. He'll be good with Geno/Neal

Dunno... ROOT showed MAF say something to Vokoun as they left the ice for intermission so...MAF must have known something wasn't right immediately.

We can do so much better than Glass and Engelland (Despres and Vitale) on our lineup

Shero is afraid we will lose Engelland on waivers. Why he doesn't try to deal him is beyond me.

I'll give Morrow a B- so far in the game. He's as advertised.

Fleury made 3-4 quality saves, but many shots are being taken from the outside. I'd like an upgrade over Engelland. He looks lost today
