- LIGHTNING penalty - instigating AND misconduct (Penguin PP)
- ALL majors; no man-advantage (Henrich / Konopka - 5 minute fighting majors; Bissonnette / Koci - game misconducts) -- according to announcer, 3 fights in a game amounts to game misconduct -- which would evict Koci and Konopka from the game (both having 3 fights tonight)

- 1:00 minute left in the 2nd

- LIGHTNING penalty @ 16:23 - interference, Malone (Penguins PP)
- this commentator is against fighting -- how ANNOYING, the old geezer!! As you can guess, I believe fighting is a part of hockey and should not be eliminated from the game; if we do that, we might as well go as far as being polite too, "Would you like the puck?" "Why yes, that would be lovely, thank you!" "I'm sorry I just smashed you up against the boards earlier" "That's quite alright, it's just a game, pal!" PUKE!!
- FIGHT RIGHT OFF OF THE FACE-OFF: Bissonnette vs. Koci

- Sabourin ROBBED STAMKOS with a nice save!!
- Penguins penalty - hooking, Engelland (Lightning PP) - no goals scored

- END of Period 1

SORRY - I don't have any way to check / post the official game time!!
Check in with me throughout the night for LIVE game updates of the Penguins 2nd pre-season game (I'm going to try it and see how it goes); I'll probably cover the basic highlights because I can see myself not keeping up!
Thanks for that re-cap. The player on wdae went belly up on me in the 3rd period, had no idea what was going on.
ReplyDeleteI been reading your blog for the last week and have it on my iGoogle home page.
To borrow a word from a friend,
