Wow, it's like some of you guys have been waiting all year to dog pile on Fleury. Sorry, but even a game and a half does not make a trend.

Not a good week for the Patriots Cheat Fantasy hockey team. Rinne last night, Fluery and Hellebyuck tonight.

MAF has been good all season. But Pens don't have the luxury of working through a slump. If he slumps and they stick with him they could easily miss the postseason. Player loyalty takes a very distant backseat to immediate realities.

Tampa is a good team that is healthy and hot. Florida is also hot right now. Not going to give up.

Didn't we dominate that first period?

Could it be there's a guy in quicksand skating up the middle of them? Hahaha I know Geno isn't the fastest, but god damn Cullen is still back in Pittsburgh while Hags and Phil are up the ice.

So the question, do you take the opportunity to try Sid between Hagelin and Kessel?
Kunitz and Hornqvist can mesh with anyone and play more of a grinding game that Cullen has been playing lately.

Missing Malkin a lot tonight and Fehr on the PK and the cycle. 2 of the most important guys on our team by far.

Kessel is being paid like a player that should be able to carry a line. Even a line with a crusty old Cullen on it.

Sid is a much faster skater it's not a terrible idea.

We really needed Fleury to come up with a big save in the first.

Phil misses Bozak. We will trade you Bozak for...NVM you don't have any picks.

Put MAF on the bench Problem solved He is leaking oil like one of the old cars I had

I would absolutely do that.

That is an interesting proposal. They are severely missing Geno's one timer bombs on the PP.

0/3 on the PP isn't helping either. Let's hope that gets corrected & gets us close.

Thats what I was trying to elude to. His act is already old to me, production vs. salary is not there when this team is at the cap threshold as well as fighting for their playoff lives.

We aren't dead yet. They got a fluky goal that put them up 2-1. Been back and forth all game.

Tampa has been working hard, gotta give them some credit. Pens working hard also, especially the young guys. We just need a bounce or two.

Not dead at all. This game is going to OT

They are the only one's producing though? 2goals 3assists, why stop production at the cost of trying to continue to jump start Phil Kessel?

Das what I'm rooting for from the control room!

I'd be very happy if the Pens were able to get a point out of this game. Not holding my breath.

Baby Pens going to OT on the PP. Murray had 2 huge saves in a row that saved the game for them.

And a few more saves over goals would be nice!

Nice pass by Kessel there.

Speaking of Kessel, that was a really nice setup. Good on Cullen to finish that chance.
