NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted January 1, 2008 My wife mentioned that too, they ARE pretty far away. Guess it's more about the experience of being there. And yes, I'm already sick of Sid. Eight years younger than me, little bastard. This is probably one of the only times where sitting higher up would be "better" seats. It would definitely be more advantageous in regards to seeing along the boards (as it is in every arena). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted January 1, 2008 Oh well, as long as I can go to local rinks and play every year, and Center Ice continues to be available....that's all I need. One of these days, I'll learn how to skate. Hell, Mennen Arena (the place where the infamous drunk zamboni driver was arrested) is just around the corner from me. Holy crap, Armstrong scores already! 21 seconds in! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted January 1, 2008 (edited) There's going to be so much short passing going on in this game. At this point stretching the pass isn't much of an option. As soon as a player makes a cut, you can see their blade mark. Just think of how this will affect the PP.

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted January 1, 2008 Buffalo looked like they weren't quite sure how the puck was flowing along the ice and snow and the Pens just managed to capitalize. Doubt they'll make that mistake again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted January 1, 2008 Z has bounced the puck on his stick that that Before. Lead to a goal to if I recall. Do you remember the Game 6 goal against Edmonton 2 years ago? The puck was passed behind him, and the defender was about to make a lazy poke, when Z poked it over his stick and right around the defender and onto his stick. Then he proceeded to smoke Roloson. One of my favorite Z goals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted January 1, 2008 Wow, embarrassing PP for the Penguins. Buffalo held the puck in the Pens defensive zone for the final 45 seconds, all the while controlling the puck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
