Around SBN: Jeremy Lin And How The Pac-12 Missed Him

I’m watching the PIT game.

CBo has only had one noticeable moment: he lost or caught an edge and took an embarrassing tumble with nobody around. You could see him chuckle about it on the bench. But he is playing.

BJ had a very nice glove save that Shane Doan wishes he could do over.

For anyone that thinks Sid may have changed his game, he just took a pretty blatant dive. The Pens announcers said:

Steggy: “That’s the first penalty Sid has drawn this year.”

Errey: “And I would definitely say he drew it.”

Steggy: “Oh yes he did.”

Sid took a stupid slash on the ensuing PP.

PIT looks really off tonight. Very slow.

Fight, you time-wasting figure skaters!

Yeah but PHX has looked good this year. PIT hasn’t looked particularly great in either game against NYR or NYI either, to be honest. They just have a ton of talent so are getting by.

I tuned in to check out PHX. They have an interesting lineup.

By the way, that comment from the announcers after the Sid dive made me guffaw. It was such a blatant dive. Ridiculous.

Fight, you time-wasting figure skaters!

Yeah and the Pens guys are such homers that if even they noticed it and called it out you know it was a dive.

So great to see him skating at the NHL level, getting nearly 10 minutes, even if a chunk of them is on a really fail-ful fourth line.

Peter Prucha just scored his 6th goal against the Pens. If he goes on waivers we need to snag him!

Yeah but that’s a tough call.

Sid with 2 slashing penalties now. He likes to use that stick, don’t he?

It’s a new stick. Maybe he’s breaking it in.

kindly like that AHL guy that Wysh posted video of earlier yesterday (leg, kidney, leg kidney, LEG!!!!!!!!!!)?

by RedBirdie on Oct 7, 2009 9:07 PM EDT up reply actions  

I assume the conventional wisdom is that Phoenix can’t keep this up for a full season? So far, they’re doing a good job of making the Pens look silly. I hope Bruce is recording this game and planning to use it for instructional purposes. (Now watch them blow the game in the third.)

by gfcaps fan on Oct 7, 2009 9:17 PM EDT reply actions  

Well PHX is really trying and PIT knows it’s really not that important. I think they are having some urgency/motivational issues early in the season. Kinda like what the Caps have sometimes multiplied by a thousand.

PIT is in PHI tomorrow. Wonder how it will compare to last night?

by gfcaps fan on Oct 7, 2009 10:03 PM EDT up reply actions  

Should be fun. One of them has to lose. PIT better play a hell of a lot better than they did tonight if they want to win, though.

by Rob Parker on Oct 7, 2009 10:23 PM EDT up reply actions  

The part that made me smile most? Upon a penalty call in the third, they said it was the Penguins’ tenth. Why can’t the Caps be the other team on the ice when that happens?

by gfcaps fan on Oct 8, 2009 7:14 AM EDT up reply actions  

Because PIT doesn’t blow off WSH like they blow off PHX.

Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But, if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. If you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.

“Sammi Lepisto with the quick stick to get the puck away from Malkin.”

Woot.

Sami Lepisto is one of the reasons I’m pulling for Phoenix this year.

I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.

I hate that my basic cable doesn’t have any hockey on tonight.

CI is making me forget all about the Twins getting drubbed by the Evil Empire.

by RedBirdie on Oct 7, 2009 9:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

I’m still on an analog signal – I can’t even order CI. I’ve considered Game Center, but have been reading mixed reviews.

by Knee high to a duck on Oct 7, 2009 9:50 PM EDT up reply actions  

Not mixed at all from this guy. It’s amazing — the one thing you have to consider is that if it’s televised in your area (including nationally), it’s blacked out, period. So you won’t be able to watch any games on NBC, Versus, or even NHL Network.

by sixsevenfiftysix on Oct 7, 2009 11:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

Heck with CI. It was on NHL network.

by gfcaps fan on Oct 7, 2009 10:03 PM EDT up reply actions  

Pens pull their goalie with just over 2 minutes left. Pens have played with no intensity.

With Varly recent struggles I kinda wish we could have kept Johnny.

We don’t need BJ and Theo. The only way to keep BJ would have been to move Theo.

Yeah. With Varly’s last couple games, the person I want to see step it up is Irbe. Get his head straight, calm him down, get back to practice!

Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium.   Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
