Ribiero, eriksson, and benn will be a tricky trio in the shootout.

I call a spade a spade Malkin has been terrible defensively. Cost us the 3rdit goal and almost cost us a few others. Hopefully he makes up for it in the shootout

VERY entertaining game... just wish it didn't come with the cost that we fear it did.

Fleury is such a battler.

I hope Dallas misses the playoffs by one point. (Not that I'm bitter about Letang getting hurt or anything, lol)

I knew that trio is as tricky as they come in shootouts for Dallas.

I hate that the media is assuming concussion. There is no possible way the pens could have let him return after the last incident. Hopefully he's OK.

Agree great game, but If Letang is gone long term, they're screwed.

Here's a serious question. Does any other team practice the shootout as much as the Penguins? I work in Flyer country and it was seriously big news that they practiced it the one day. Explains a lot if you ask me.

It's in the fabric of the Pens. And with the mustache contest every month they have found a way to train for something that can earn them extra points while still having fun. Win win if you ask me.

If they don't they are stupid... Just looking at last years numbers, the average team had 10 or so shootouts. That's 10 points up for grabs when playoff seedings/getting into playoffs come down to a point or two.

And suddenly NBC is unwatchable. JR is such a complete tool.

Neither player (Letang or Nystrom) played that situation well. Letang lunging for a puck in no man's land and Nystrom not even making an attempt to play the puck.

Roenick is on NBCSP claiming the hit is Letang's fault...and Milbury is reading him the riot act. Roenick is such a d*uche

Honestly I'd have no problem running him over with my car if I saw him.

I don't think they do. I was reading the flyers board earlier this year when they were taking Lavi to task for not making it a regular part of practice.

Whether you like the shootout or not, points are there for the taking and there really shouldn't be an excuse for not practicing it.
