The Pens made their first trip into Washington last night. It was the Pens second meeting with the Caps and the first meeting since the Caps hired Dale Hunter as coach. Pretty sure Dale Hunter's "system" is to commit horrible turnovers, fall everywhere, and miss the net constantly. No clue what the Caps were doing last night. For a Pens/Caps game this was probably the most boring one in a looooooooooooooooong time.
1st Period
Pens hit a couple post early. Pretty sure the Caps had no clue the game even started. The Asham threw a puck right through Vokoun's asshole right to Craig Fuckin Adams and CFA puts it home to make it 1-0 Pens. Wonder what the Pens record is when CFA scores. 20 bucks to whoever figures it out. Then on the ensuing face off Asham fought Erskine. Pretty good fight. Finally woke the Caps up. They had a few decent chances but MAF's sac was everywhere. Pens got a power play someone in there that they did nothing with. Asham both got robbed by Vokoun somewhere in the first too.
2nd Period
Caps tied the game early in the 2nd after Niskanen got out worked going back for an icing. Pens went back to the power play. Yeah. Then the Pens went off sides on an odd man rush. Pens have to lead the league in off side's this season. Caps had a few power plays but couldn't do anything with them. 2nd period was zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz city.
3rd Period
Pens had a power play to start the 3rd that carried over from the 2nd. Watching the power play was like watching 5 Penguins try to hump a hockey puck. Shortly after the power play Chris Kunitz out worked everyone and stayed with the puck then beat Vokoun to make it 2-1 Pens. Simon Despres would get his first NHL assist on the play. Vokoun probably made the worst attempt at a save ever. Probably the only goalie that gets beat by that shot is him. Not much else happened in the 3rd except for Vokoun robbing Orpik. The Caps would eventually pull Vokoun but the Pens basically just toyed with the Caps and didn't let the Caps get the puck. GAME. OVER.
Pens win 2-1.
3 Stars
1. Paul Martin
2. Jason Chimera
3. Alexander Ovechkin
Who ever picked the 3 stars had to have been higher than a god damn plane. Jesus
EXTRA:
Near the end of the game John Carlson elbowed Matt Cooke in the head. Here's the video.
Of course Carlson isn't going to have a hearing about it. Can anyone say double standard.
John Carlson sucks.
Quick Thoughts
- Very solid game from Bortuzzo and Despres
- Pens out shot the Caps by like 2i3u5y4457y shots
- MAF was solid all game. Played the puck very well
- Not quite sure Dale Hunter know's how to coach
- Caps are a mess.
Pens head to Jeff Skinner's sad box tomorrow at 7.
Go Pens
