I'd put one on the kid (Zatkoff). Pens are playing a bad game all around. Took it for granted now have to come back and try and steal it.

The team for sure did not step up for Zatkoffs first start.

20 to play, no worries.

I don't think they have played as bad as some of the comments here suggest. I just think that there was an expectation they were going to run over the Panthers and it has not happened.

Is this their "worst" effort of the year? No doubt, but its still a winnable game.

Crosby. So close.

Ugh, they look bad to me. Let's not forget Florida played last night. Obviously they didn't want to get embarrassed again but this is not a good team to lose to.

That sucked. Hit his mask. Orpik couldn't check Fleischmann off the puck.

Despite their attack time they've looked lackadaisical at some points tonight and there have been resulting goals. Not the tight team of the first 3 games.

They owned the first 5 minutes of that period, yet are losing the period.

It's fine its game 4 of 82. I'm fine if they start clicking around game 68. Long long way to go.

BTW. this ain't over. Let's Go Pens!!

Kunitz missed one sure goal....come on

I agree, but I wouldn't write this game off yet. The Penguins have controlled this entire third period so far.

Three stages of Penguin hockey.

Play hard.

Achieve and believe your press clippings.

Mail it in.

What BS.

I'm going for a walk. If I showed up for work and barfed on my desk like the Pens are tonight I would be sent home. F*cking redonkulous.

Kunitz is playing like he is waiting for a bus. He looks like he thinks he is better than he really is. Moron.

Defense is mailing this one in is all I have to say. Morons.

Before this game the Penguins had surrounded only 3 goals against. The Panthers 18!

Poor game. Scratch it and focus on the lightning

I think powerhouse missed dinner tonight.

Dupuis got rocked but it was a textbook hit. Crosby has to leave that alone at that point in the game.

And a awful penalty kill to end the game

Yep. The score will be worse tomorrow if they bring the same effort.

I said 6-1 Pens, not bad.

Zatkoff sucks....

Ok, but so did the team. They let him down as much as anything. Just bad habits remerging, nothing more.

I forgot about how dumb a team can be when they play 82. Sid's penalty was something I'm sick of in hockey. A perfectly clean hit answered by a slew foot.

It's also safe to say if Glass, Jeffrey, Vitale and Adams are the PK forwards we can pretty much expect to be towards the bottom of the league.

Wonder what Tampa Bay or a team that is actually very talented will do to that PK line up. Blysma is still an idiot.

Well the Florida troubles that we seem to always see a couple times continued.

But...back at it again tomorrow.

Zatkoff wasn't stellar but his help for portions of this game was subpar as well. Some missed opportunities and lack of effort at both ends.

Have to hand it to Florida for playing us as they usually do: tough and with no excuses.

There are those charts again, at least you use them to show a point, not create one.

Shot attempts and puck possession are not the same though. So I don't get why you'd show a chart on shot attempts when I mentioned time on attack

I get your point drummer, they are two different measurables, but what is zone time if you are not getting shots to the net?

I dont think you can look at one without the other.
