Live Blog of 3rd Period. Looking Ahead.

Just an ugly day for the Pittsburgh Penguins.  Another uninspired effort on the road against a great team playing its game.  Very disheartening for me to watch as a Pens fan.  Vomiting.  The Pens have been convincingly destroyed twice to start this series.  They have not managed even one freaking goal.  Pathetic.  I hate the world right about now.  And you.  (kidding) 

All of that having been said.  This series is not over by a longshot.  Do I think the Pens will win the series right now?  Honestly I don't.  But that can all change with a victory in Game 3 AT HOME on Wednesday evening.  Obviously, if there is one thing that we Pens fans can look forward to, it is the chance to play at home.  Three months and change has elapsed since the Pens lost a game at the Mellon Arena.  The Pens will win Game 3.  Mark it down.  Mark it down.  Two home games.  The Pens need to win them both.  The Wings want to win the games.  Hopefully the Pens can get a few.

20:00- Alright Pens, time to come back like we know you can.  Falling down 2-0 against this team in the series is not insurmountable, but we'd love to avoid it!  Need to finish these plays, and start playing good offensive hockey like we've seen you do.  Stop dumping and chasing, and use your skill to try and penetrate the Wings defense.  They are great, but if the right buttons are pushed, Lidstrom and Co. can be beaten as well.

19:38- JUST EFFING GREAT!  Hossa takes a dumb penalty.  Powerplay Detroit.

17:38-  Good PK.  Just two more minutes with no Penguins scoring. 

16:51- Turnovers lead to shots.  Shots lead to goals.  Snap out of it.

16:18- Bugsy tries to take out Zetterberg!  Good.  Takes a penalty.  4 on 4.

15:30- Brief scrum in front of MAF.  Whatever.  

14:43- Damnit Hossa.  He misses another chance in front.  You waste of my time.  FINISH.

13:41- TV timeout.  Thank you.  I can't watch this.  Is it possible for the most potent offensive attack in the NHL to be embarrassed like this.  About to be 0 goals in 2 games?  Looks so.

13:35- Turnover Pens. Make that two turnovers.  Yawn.

12:34- TK with a chance!  And he misses!  Yawn.

12:11- Powerplay Pens!  Come on!  Open the floodgates!  This is CRUCIAL!

11:58- Malone takes a penalty.  PP over.  You piece of feces.  Toss the season why don't you.

11:12- Pens turn it over.  Detroit goal.  Game over.  Bye.
