One of the funniest things I've read in the past couple days is that the Pens' coach talked to Downie before the game about avoiding penalties...he then goes and piles on 22 minutes.

Gotta wonder if they'll regret the signing or like it. I understand bringing him in, but so far this year, the sense I get from their fan base is that he's been a net negative for them. It will all depend on what happens in the playoffs though. I've I'm them, I'm thinking I really need that type of player for the playoffs, but I'm also worried about him taking penalties which could kill them at the wrong time in the playoffs. That type of player you will expect penalties due to the type of game he plays, but I don't think they were expecting the volume of stupid and useless penalties he's taken so far.

The pens fans on hfboards seem to love him, they seem to hate downie though.

And they traded for him.

They got him in the Neal trade.

So Hornquist got injured in this game

Hope it was on the play where he accidentally checked his own player as they both tried to one of our guys (Smith, I think).

That play was funny as hell. Perron and Horn both tried to hit Smith, but he just stood there and they bounced off of him and fell.
