Letang got sent down but I think he will eventually make his return sometime this season. ---

WOW! They seemed to have kicked it up a few notches with it being regular season now! I would say overall though our defensive is still struggling to keep the puck in the zone. Skyora played an incredible game with 2 goals and the goal that Armstrong had was brilliant. My only thought is what the hell happened last night? ---

Sykoras release is awesome especially with Malkin as his setup man …damm hopefully Sids foot is ok after taking that shot off it …they looked better but still shaky in their own end … ---

Keep in mind (correct me if I’m wrong) Anaheim had their backup goalie in. if letang was that great , he wouldve made the team. and are you suggesting that his offensive output is goin to be more than a guy who lead all nhl defensmen in points for some of last years season (gonchar)?..no, he wont. Letang will get his chance. im sure he’ll see some time on the big club this year. also, gonchar is a slow starter and he might not always make the best decsisions in the zone, but he’s well-worth having and more than makes up for it. if you want to pin Anaheims (and carolinas, for that mater) ability to cycle in our zone at will, on Gonchar then i think you need to take another look. plus, fleury has been soft in thes first two games. its early tho. ---

gonchar \> letang at this time, but gonchar has still been very shitty the first 2 games, but he is also a notoriously slow starter. pens will be fine, maybe not 105 point year, but as long as they get 8th seed at least anything can happen. ---

That game was painful…it’s getting sad how the other team dominates our defense! When we get in the offensive end we’re always behind the net, which isn’t bad but someone NEEDS to be planted in front of the net to produce some kind of scoring chance. ---

I was at the game last night, it looked like the pens were out for a Sunday skate. It doesn’t even look like they care if they win or lose. ---

What a load i didnt read the article so i cant really speak to whether or not it was rediculous, but he’s pretty much dominated in every league he’s played in thus far… i’m sure he’ll continue to do well in the NHL. comparing someone to Roy or Brodure after one game is pretty silly. but if you look back at his accomplishments prior to the NHL he’s developing a pretty good track record. ---

Reminds me of last year when they would play for 20 minutes all game then try to make it up in the last 10 minutes.
