Well, the Habs got clobbered by LA 5-1 last night. Their 1-5-1 record is the same as the Rangers who are obviously off to a poor start as well. It's still early but spending the season digging out of a hole from a poor start isn't ideal.

Cat, Neil, did either of you watch the Pens game last night? It wasn't on here but what a blowout.
How did Crosby get the 10 minute misconduct? Looks like it must have been as he came out of the box after Tampa Bay scored a PPG? |

As for Sid's misconduct penalty, it's as you suggested. When he came out of the box after TB scored he started chirping at the ref about the call that got him sent to the sin bin originally. Apparently it was a confluence of "bad" days being experienced by both Sid and the ref. Sid predictably lost that skirmish. As for the game it followed pretty much the same formula as the Pens earlier 10-1 debacle against the Blackhawks: Second game of back to backs while on the road against a rested opponent with backup goalie Antti Niemi in net. I'm not a hockey soothsayer by any means but I don't think Niemi will make it to Halloween as a Penguin. The team hasn't played well in front of him, but he's been the worst goaltender I've watched in a long long time. Poor positioning, no rebound control and slow to react side to side. Ugh!

Just announced that the Penguins have placed Antti Niemi on waivers. Hey, maybe I am a hockey soothsayer afterall

Just curious, but how's Fleury doing in Vegas?

He got off to a good start with 3 wins in 4 starts and a .925 save percentage. Unfortunately he's on IR now with a concussion. Hope he recovers quickly and gets back to action.

PenzOil 0-0 @ the end of the 1st
Tonight's game between the Pens and Oilers is tied 0-0 at the end of 1 period. Crosby and McDavid have each had their moments but for my money so far Oilers' goalie Cam Talbot has been the best player on the ice. He's made several outstanding saves when the Pens were like bees buzzing around a hive.

PenzOil 2-1 Final
Pens beat the Oil 2-1 in OT. Both goalies were terrific! McDavid scored with about 3 minutes left in regulation to tie the game. Kessel scored the OT winner for the Pens. Sid without a point but he looked good throughout the game. With the win the Pens move to the top of the Metropolitan Division.

Aw man. That’s bad news. Part of Murray’s rise in Pittsburgh was because Fleury had a couple of concussions that put him on long term IR. I hope he’s able to bounce back (no pun intended) and that it doesn’t end his career. He’s still reasonably young - but still he’s got 3 rings in his decade playing in Net for the Pens.

Arizona is the first team since 1943 to lose their first 10 games of the season. I have nothing against the Coyotes but given their off-ice history there over the past few years I'd like to see them relocate.

Never thought I'd say it as a Pens fan, but Alex Ovechkin might just be a very decent human being.
Cool story: https://www.nhl.com/news/alex-ovechk...es/c-292378942 In other news the Pens and Wild are tied 1-1 at the end of the first period. It's killing me to watch Matt Cullen in a Wild uniform.
