I don't know, but Chad Johnson looks clueless.

both were a bit tough, but he just seems to be anxious in net. hopefully that last save will settle him down.

It looked to me like he overplayed to one side and should have been quicker to get back to the other side to prevent the wrap around. If he did that, then he's in position to stop the puck, even if it gets deflected toward the goal by a teammate.

yup, had the angle but overplayed it, in fairness to him, it wasnt necessarily his fault, but he's gotta come up with that one in a game this big.

that first goal pissed me off because the winger on that defenseman came back all the way to the front of the net and there was no one anywhere near him to contest the shot. Thats not good defense.

I was finishing dinner and missed the first goal. Who was the culprit(s) on the Islanders?

His lateral movement is terrible. Hard to play in front of him the way hes been playing. Love the tackle by errhoff in front of the ref on martin. Have a feeling im going to be throwing shat soon

Plus I think he needs to trade in his trampoline pads for different ones.

Leddy!

That was a nice headbutt from Bortuzzo. Good placement IMHO.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. Like he couldn't connect with his fists, so he'd just use whatever else was available.

That play would have never happened without Lee. Kid is strong on the puck.

and this is where johnson should be pulled.

POS

Hickey and Vis should not be a pairing. They are too small to clear the crease.

Is it just me or does Tavares just not look the same lately?

He's learning to play defense. He's got his hands full when he's matched up against Crosby.

he doesnt but right now i'm more concerned about johnson. hes all over the place overcommitting to the shot and for such a big guy he shouldnt have to move that much. hes not confident and he should have been pulled after the third goal. he's gonna cost us another one.

Pretty sure nielsens line has been put there against them more than not.

I agree. Hes got to get his shat together

Pulock another goal and leads BPT with 7.

You're probably right, although that surprises me, since the Pens have the last change.
