GDT#20: Penguins @ Senators: 7:00 PM, Nov 17

20th game.  The roller coaster continues.  The STRUGGLING Penguins come to town.  Matt Murray vs .

Ah, there's the GDT. I was about to get one up myself.

You gonna fix that?

Hate the Penguins. Can't stand Crosby or Malkin. Wasn't a big fan of Mario back then. Who was the guy that used to stick his knee out so the time - Ulf Samuelsson. I kinda liked Kasparaitis, dirty little player but would have loved him on my team.

Alright, guess you're not going to fix it so I'll do it. You're cut off the : after the Mtx so the Matrix emoticon did not come through.

A merciless beatdown of $hittsburgh is just what the doctor ordered. Let's do this.

Penguins sit last in the East. Only the LA Kings have fewer points in the standings in the entire league. How the mighty have fallen.

Senators are 4 points out of a playoff spot. With Tkachuk and Smith back, and Pageau skating, we could have a legitimate shot at getting to the playoffs. I hear Chara is out 4-6 weeks (they have 5 D injured), Montreal is struggling. Thete are three other teams stress off us, but we could be ahead of all three tonight.

I could go for the sens beating those flightless birds

This.

Well that American Anthem was something else.

Ryan just won a foot race! It was Maatta who's probably the slowest Penguin, but still. He was well behind and caught and passed him.

Sens nowbhave second most goals in league

They were second behind Tampa before their 4 days off, weren't they? Scoring is not a problem. Have to say that offense is much more balanced than when it was all on Karlsson. Powerplay is nowhere near as predictable.

I'd love to see them get a little more in-your-face in their own crease. I realize that's not Wideman's forte, or Chabot's, or Lajoie's and so on. Harpur has size but rarely uses it.

Wow, Pittsburgh is a hot mess right now. Murray had zero confidence, Malkin looks like a big spoiled kid (mind you, he always looked that way), Kessel is frustrated, and the once future stars already lost without Crosby. Their stars are not getting any younger. If they don't get stellar goaltending they are a lottery team.

Meanwhile, let's not sugarcoat it. Anderson wasn't very good. Ok, he didn't see that first goal (didn't like the (over)reaction from him. That 3rd goal was cringe worthy. The analyst tried to cover for him saying he was anticipating a tip in front and was playing the tip and not the puck. What? It was a bad goal. Thank goodness Duchene was there to restore the 3 goal lead.

What was Boro saying to Oleksiak during their roughing? "I thought Penny was terrific in the Olympics"?

I missed the game, but the highlights indicate the Pens got stoned.
