RECAP. Takeoff. Pens LOSE

Dear Winnipeg, Fuck off.

Definitely the most annoying game so far this young season.  The crowd was annoying the refs were annoying, everything was just annoying.  You knew this game was coming.  As a Pens fan you know they have games like this every season.  They can never beat the bad teams when they're supposed to.  The Jets hadn't won this season and of course they'd get their first win against the Pens.  Can't wait til the Jets move again in 6 years.  
They should just make this the Jets logo.

1st Period
8 seconds in Jets score and you know its just going to be one of those games.  Michalek Island fell and the Jets went in 2 on 1 and Wellwood buried it.  Jets almost scored on the ensuing faceoff.  Good God. Jets had unlimited scoring chances to start the game.  Game could have been 7-0 in the first but MAF was sharp.  Pens had a power play.  One if the Jets players tripped over his vagina and the Jets fans felt entitled to a power play.  No clue why every fans from Canadian teams always feel entitled to get every call.  Didn't even get a shot.  Pens didn't get a shot until about 12 and a half minutes into the game.  They finally started getting some chances late in the period.  Neal hit a post and Kunitz missed an empty net on a rebound.  And of course the Jets would get a chance and bury it.  Tanner Glass made it 2-0.  Yikes.  What a gay name.  Had a feeling this was gonna be an ugly game.

2nd Period
Pen had a power play early.  Nothing.  Dupuis had a chance on a breakaway but Pavelec robbed him.  Staal hit a post too.  Pens just couldn't get any bounces last night.  Jets got a couple power plays.  1 of them was an absolute joke when James Neal pushed someone and their stick broke.  Refs were absolute garbage last night.  Winnipeg got away with unlimited hits from behind and interferences.  Games in Canada are so annoying.  Jets couldn't get anything on their power plays.  The Pens finally broke through late in the 2nd.  Off a set face off play Michalek Island ripped a shot from the point that beat Pavelec to bring the Pens within 1.  Of course the Jets fans cried because Matt Cooke bumped Pavelec.  To bad the puck was in the net jokes.  Kind of surprised the Jets fans understand the new NHL rules since they hadn't played in 15 years.  Jets got a power play late in the 2nd after their fans cried again.

3rd Period
The Jets power play carried over to the 3rd.  They couldn't get anything.  Bogosian went on some unreal end to end rush and hit the post.  Was waiting for him to score and the Winnipeg fans to burn the place down.  Tons of back and forth action in the 3rd.  Tick tick tick.  Pens got a power play late in the 3rd.  Fleury had to rob a short handed chance.  Pens got nothing.  Power play is mud without Malkin.  They're something like 1 for 23 without him.  Pens pulled MAF.  Nothing.  Pens would lose 2-1.

3 Stars
1. Ondrej Pavelec
2. Marc Andre Fleury
3. Alexander Burmistrov

Quick Thoughts
  • Where is Mark Letestu?
  • Steve MacIntyre is a waste of a roster space
  • Kris Letang had a meeting with Brendan Shanahan for a hit on Alexander Burmistrov.  Brian Strait has been called up just in case.
Here's the hit in question.  When are people going to stop turning their backs right before they get hit.  Plus Burmistrov lost his footing.  No way this should be a suspension but the precedent Shanahan set in the pre season we wouldn't be surprised if Letang got 5 games. 

Shanahan sucks.  The Jets suck.  Pens play Minnesota in like 10 seconds.

Go Pens
