I will be back on land today and home by 8 to watch this one. Hoping it's a good one for the Pens!

During hockey season, my Tivo is a lifesaver. I almost never watch a game in real time anymore, I always start 45 minutes after puck drop. That way I can skip commercials and any of the talking heads between periods.

Go Pens!

I wouldn't say the Pens owned this game ... They owned the first 2 periods and the last 6 minutes of the 3rd ... But for 14 minutes they had me quite worried. They stopped pressing and played prevent defense ... I hate that!

Yeah - The 3rd period had me a little concerned too. Prevent defense doesn't work in the NFL and sure doesn't work in the NHL. When the Pens stop shooting at the net, their game goes downhill.

Blues fall short again in the face of a strong game from San Jose. Gotta wonder if a new coach will be in St. Louis next year.

I don't like this - 5 minutes in and the Pens only have 1 SOG. TB has 0.

Yep ... Ladies are at the church ... If this game continues like it is, my neck is gonna be sore by 11pm! Back and forth, back and forth ... Pens need to pressure and keep the pressure on!

And period one ends with the Pens missing more opportunities ... 0-0. 40 more minutes of regulation.

First blood goes to the Pens ... Then Pens missed great opportunities on the 4on4

Shots on goal ...13-6 Pens ... Doing better pressing in the first 6 minutes of the second.

Crosby lotta opportunities but no love yet. Each team afraid to press with defensemen and give up a potential breakaway

Crap, missing opportunities and the bingo, they make a break away and the Lightening tie it up at 1s
