PensBurgh * Panthers @ Penguins GameDay Central * TSN Preview
Welcome to this evening's Open Thread: Where we're not about to miss "Happy Pony"
Not much time to savor a tasty victory only hours ago as the Cats arrive in Pittsburgh for what likely will be their final game at The Igloo. Personally? Good riddance; one more vestige from the Francis/Samuelsson/Jennings for Cullen/Parker/Zalapski travesty goes the way of the Dodo. But sadly this will live on in late-night cable reruns.
The only major roster change may be the addition of LW Michal Repik, recalled from Rochester in case C Dominic Moore is still extricating a stick from his chest. Been that kind of year.
It was a story of "twos" just last night, when Michael Frolik banged home dos goals, backed up by dual-assist performances from Nathan Horton and Stephen Weiss. Scott Clemmensen stopped 26 shots en route the Florida's victory over the uber-hot Devils. Can they carry it over?
Frank, Hooks, and the posse at PensBurgh will be manning the home fort, and check them out for a Pens-centric angle.
Thanks for coming in from the South Florida rain for what should be typical fireworks between two clubs who don't appear to share much love. Which, of course, rules. Go Cats.

Sure freaking hope so my friend…said he would be this year’s Big Deal in Florida over the summer. Not looking too good on that count. Yet.

ive always say that all 4 lines if healthy should be like a brotherhood u know they get to know each other on how they play what kind of pass they like where they always set up where they hide you know that kind of thing but almost every night its a different mixed line if only people were healthy this would be different its sort of like the CPR line last year when kept together they scored all the time
So, based on the last matchup of these two teams, do we go to overtime, only to have a 4 minute high stick called on Crosby, after he’s checked to the ice by Allen and then in his flailing motion clips Frolik?

WAS over TOR 2-0, start of second
CAR & OTW tied at one, mid-second

Good, go Caps, go Canes, and let’s just hope Atl/Ott doesn’t go to OT.

Faster than his teammates. So whom do you replace?
by Donny Rivette on Dec 12, 2009 9:27 PM EST up reply actions
at this point, DVo, just because he’s older. but i always want the speed! and it doesn’t fail on the PK.

Pens PP coming up. Can’t have PIT finishing this one with less than two points…
(Pens fans are gonna eat that up)
That was frightening. Cats are picking up the pace tho

Ever see the Nordiques fan who went bananas on Rob Ray?
Classic. Behold.

I guess that with the way the team is playing, they can only get 3 sponsors (Bon Jovi, Dane Cook, Happy Pony)
And those loopy Dumb, Greedy American representations from Toyota

The Pens announcers have nothing bad to say about Jeff Taffe.
