Crosby nets his 600th career goal
However, Pens lose again, this time to, uh, Hockey Club?

I guess they didn't have time to come up with a name (franchise was awarded in May?), and Utah Coyotes doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. I do hope they keep the Coyotes' alternate jersey colors, those red unis were nice

The name is supposed to be temporary and will be revisited during the off season. Great way to sell merch.

What would you call them, though? The Salties? The Gulls? Elks?

ETA: The Utah Salt... get it? The Ute Assault?

I'll see myself out.

The rarest play in hockey: the netminder scores a goal! Open net too




Add insult to injury... the scoreboard officials had to go back and rewatch the sequence to figure out who would be awarded the goal; the game resumed, and a few minutes later, hats started to rain down on the ice, once it was announced that the scoreboard officials determined the puck had graced Brayden Point's knee, which gave Point the hat trick.

Pens have managed to win 3 in a row.

@Grumpy Old Manatee I hope you are ok after the Avalanche-Pens game. :hug:

Meanwhile, the Caps are hot, especially on the road (9 straight road wins). Really good game last Saturday against the Canadiens. The 1st 2 periods everyone skated lightning fast and it was back and forth from one end of the ice to the other. The Caps goalie won the game, stopping 4-5 breakaways. I frankly wasn't expecting this, especially with Ovie out.... maybe they play better without? Now I am a blasphemer.

Awwww…

I’ve come to grips with the fact that the Pens will be average, at best, yet again. The “plan” to try to rebuild while attempting to remain competitive just cannot work. But, they’re my team, so I just have to embrace the suck when choosing to tune in.

Happy for Mikko Rantanen. Got to meet him a couple of times during his AHL stint in San Antonio. As with most hockey players, very humble and down to earth.

Caps are really rolling. Hopefully, 8 comes back soon so that they’ll start losing again.

Just bumpin’ the thread…given the current states of the Saints and Pels.

Pens have manage to waddle their way back to .500 hockey. Sid can surpass Mario’s career assist record with a helper tonight against the Islanders.

Rust and Rakell are playing well; even Bunting.

Other than that, Happy “almost” New Year.

Not liking them overturning that NY goal cause a player was ruled offsides by less than .0001 of a second on replay!

 

[Grumpy Old Manatee]

Was watching for a bit, but had to run out. Will have to dig up the replays…

The Rangers were home against the Dallas Stars. The Rangers scored the 1st 3 goals and with a 3 to 0 lead at home you would assume they would earn a "W". No! They lost 5 to 4

Not surprised at all, little I’ve seen it’s not good but Igor is on IR so that doesn’t help

Big trade in NHL yesterday.

Got to meet Mikko during his stint in San Antonio w the AHL Rampage. Good luck “Moose”

Not quite as intriguing as to how a tray of Nachos ended up on the ice a few nights ago, but intriguing nonetheless.
