RECAP. Tim Thomas. Pens LOSE

*This is the #SheroBucks post*  Good Luck

The defending Stanley Cup Champions rolled on into the Consol Energy Center last night and we are still waiting if the Pens showed up yet.  The Pens looked like crap all game and wasted 2 fairly long 5 on 3's.  One of which being for a full 2 minutes.  Don't even know how to recap this.

1st Period

This was basically every period for the Pens last night.  Really not much else to say.  Bruins looked to have gotten on the board first but it was waived off.  Only other highlight of the period was Dan Bylsma making a leaping catch on a puck heading into the crowd.  Clearly Bylsma is a dick.  I mean who does that?

If you don't have sarcasm detector stop reading this.

2nd Period

Greg Campbell scored early to make it 1-0 Bruins.  Then Brad Marchand hit Niskanen with a slew foot.  Marchand should have been kicked out of the game but wasn't  Niskanen didn't take a retaliation penalty and ended up fighting Marchand.  Pens would get their first 5 on 3 of the game when Chara just ran over James Neal in front of Tim Thomas.  Pens couldn't do anything with it and soon after the penalties were over Pouliot beat MAF to make it 2-0 Bruins.  The Pens would get another 5 on 3 near the end of the period.  This one would be for a full 2 minutes.  For some God forsaken reason Sidney Crosby is playing the LEFT point on the power play.  No clue why is isn't on the half wall so he can launch one-timers.  Bruins killed it.

3rd Period

3rd period was more of the same.  Tyler Seguin scored early to make it 3-0.  Game over.  Even though the Pens it to kind of woke up after Matt Cooke scored to bring 3-1 Bruins.  Joe Vitale ended up getting into a fight with someone and you felt like the Pens could actually get back into it.  Then the wheels started to fall off.  Crosby and Kunitz crashed into each other sending Crosby hobbling to the bench.  He would return to the game.  Then Malkin got hit by Danny Paille and their heads hit and Pallie has a cage on his helmet which hit Malkin on the face.  What a shitty game.

Whatever.

Tim Thomas should have gotten all 3 stars.

Quick Thoughts

• Jordan Staal looked bad.
• Joe Vitale was probably the best player on the ice for the Pens last night
• Tim Thomas
• Niskanen has been solid this year
• Realignment post coming later
• How unreal has Kunitz been this year.  Violent player 

Pens better show up Thursday.  You know who they play.  If you don't...go keep jerking off to the Steelers ad stay off the bandwagon.

Go Pens
