This. The PK has been simply huge thus far and Helm is a big part of it.

Come on homer. Not a good move.

Missed the first half of the 3rd picking up the wife from work, but it seems they're waking up. Franzen hit someone? Wow. Harding pulling another setoguchi? No surprise. Wings got a PP? Wow... Keep pushing guys and open it up. Nice try Abs. OMG another PP! Finish them!!!!!

They dodged a bullet with the PK's standing tall. The boys need to come out strong and put them on their heels early and opwn up a bigger lead for the third.

PK still standing tall. Let's go Wings! Let's go Wings! And another kill. Good job boys.

Good job with the PK then too many men. Come on guys, you can't get any flow like this and you don't want to let them take control. Jimmy has been playing well, he deserves better than this in front of him.

Bull that was only a call on Bert. The puck was loose plus he was cross checked and can-openered.

At least it's a 4 on 4 and not a pk.

I see Harding has taken diving lessons from Setoguchi.

Didn't he say something about not wanting to even think about hockey in an interview after the lokomotiv tragedy? I wonder if that is having any effect on him, since he hasn't been himself this season.

Time for the 2nd. Hopefully they have a big offensive outburst.

I didn't see that giveaway, but I agree with the thought of sitting him before Huds. I like the idea of Fil-Mule-Goose as a line, maybe we'll see it at some point tonight.

Exactly, but I won't complain about the +, either.

Nyquist is looking good but I still double take at the 14 thinking of Shanny. I must be nostalgic for some reason tonight because I saw Abdelkader on the ice and had a Larionov flashback.

I missed the first couple of minutes, but Cleary seems to be doing a bit better tonight than in previous games. I wonder if the upper body injury is healing up to a point where it isn't as bothersome.

Even better. A replay of the Havsplat on him would be sweet.

I wouldn't mind seeing him celebrate the new contract with a huge Kronwalling or three? (maybe Setoguchi and/or Heatley?)

A couple of nice takeaways by Pavs there. Did I see a couple Wild try to draw a high stick call on Hank in their zone? Thought I saw the heads of a couple fly back.

Very good kill. Looks they're treating this one like it matters. Thanks.

Nice to see Nick score and the cheap + for the boys as the PP had just expired. A bit of karmic redress for the -'s Nick has had through no fault of his own. Hopefully the PK stands tall. And yes, I've got a glass of the Macallan poured. Missed the last couple of games due to gigs. I must say that it's nice to finally have all the Center Ice games in HD here in northeast PA. Time Warner gave me the wrong cable box and when I swapped out for the right one after driving a half hour to the store they didn't have the right DVR so they roll a truck for free on the 12th to get the right DVR to me and I get free DVR for a year and half off center ice Hudler I believe.

Downtown Pittsburgh has been rejuvenated over the last few years. I was out there last April for the PMEA All-State Chorus with my student who made it for the second time and it is quite nice. The new convention center and adjoining hotel complex was top notch, and everything in walking distance was pretty nice. My Zetterberg jersey drew some nasty looks but when I was in Primanti's with my student the owner was impressed that a Wings fan knew about the dark days of Dick Tarnstrom leading the Pens in scoring. The area is starting to upswing a bit.

I thought it was a brand of bag tea.....

Wow. How the hell do you not call a trip as White gets taken down then call him for a trip? Insert the pic of Capt. Picard doing the facepalm.

It isn't over yet but the late bad goal hurts. Think we'll see Howie for the third to try to jumpstart the guys? The sad thing is they haven't played poorly, just haven't been able to capitalize on their chances.

That goal gave me a flashback of Bobblin' Bob It'sInThere. Not the way to keep your team in it Conks.
