That happens quite a bit actually. I've seen Lovejoy get pushed into the goalie on a few games. The guy does have hockey smarts. But he's limited in physical abilities at that
Lovejoy is a great guy. But he is a weak link. Bottom pairing at best......Rutherford needs to move him in a miracle trade.
The Pens need one more D man. I think Lovejoy would be good at that bottom pairing. He's depth. Idk though. I think the Pens are finally waking up

Time to move on from Beau? Does he EVER play?
Pens' Bennett out for Tuesday game after aggravating injury
Beau Bennett won't play against the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night after aggravating an upper-body injury, coach Mike Sullivan said after practice Monday.
Bennett made his return to the lineup Saturday afternoon against Vancouver after missing the previous 17 games. In the second period, immediately after delivering a hit to Vancouver defenseman Luca Sbisa in the offensive zone, Bennett went to the locker room for medical attention. He returned to finish the game, but did not practice Morning morning.
Sullivan said Bennett was being evaluated Monday morning and more would be known about his condition during the all-star break, which begins after Tuesday's game.

When Bennett comes back he needs to cool out with the hitting. He's obviously not built for it. I admire his grit but he's much more valuable as a scorer. Let Kunitz handle the head hunting.
Bennett needs to drink his milk. The guy was a scoring threat before the injury. But Spike is right the guy is always hurt
Now THAT was a very good game! With the exception of the first 15 minutes the Pens dominated a pretty good team in the Devils. There was no one that had a bad night and the young'ns are stepping up nicely. The Rust, Fehr, Kuhnackl line is proving to be a very good combination. Cullen's Curse continues....he had a real nice game just couldn't hit his *** if he fell backwards.
Hagelin's turning into a nice add. Dude is fast!
Did I actually see an NHL ref call interference on a d man for leaving his lane to get in front of someone on a rush that did not have the puck? Had to rewind to make sure. Yeah, it was Maatta and he didn't go far out of his lane but I was thrilled to see that called. I have bitched repeatedly here about that not being called anymore. I hope it's a sign they're going to start calling it (and other interference stuff) again. Allowing that stuff to go on really stifles good skill guys' production.

Hagelin is freaky fast. Damn. And Rod, the young guys are whats making this team. They are looking good. Rust has been a surprise
What did younz guys think about the All-Star game format this year? I kind of liked it. At least it was entertaining, unlike the NFL Pro bowl.

It was alright given that they actually played (with the exception of the Met guys giving no effort to the the game in the final 30 seconds). They should keep going with it, but I only watched off and on after the first game.
The NHL's format was pretty neat. I liked the tournament set up. It really added a competitive flare to something thats just for fun. I enjoyed it

Started watching, lost interest. Spent more time watching the skills competition.
I also had no interest in the John Scott story.Only in the NHL.
Wideman got a 20 game vacation. NHL Network defending his ***. What a goatfuck.

Its a mandatory 20 games for intentional contact with a ref.. None of the half dozen bs excuses hhe gave held any weight... He is lucky they just gave him the minimum
Figures. First time the Pens have been on TV here in a while and they get smoked by the Bolts.
Yanking MAF. Oof. Oskar looks capable. Rust is demonic. Meh, 3 outta 4 top centers injured whattaya gonna do?
Team came out solid and looked up that first period. Looked like they wanted to pitch a shut out and lost interest after Tampa's first goal. The WBS guys were looking solid for a good portion of the game. You can tell they were missing Malkin on the power play. I'll let injuries be the teams excuse for last nights game. They need a better showing against the Panthers. Gotta get some points over the weeknd
nice win over the Kitties

I think it is fair to say that whatever funk Crosby was in earlier this year is officially over. Dude is on a tear. I read somewhere that he is leading the league in scoring since Christmas and it isn't real close. That is good news for the Pens.
The Penguins might just be another Pittsburgh team that nobody wants to face in the playoffs!
Beauty win, eh? Gotta admit, I tuned it out with about 6 minutes left. I'm a bad fan. My bad....kinda wrote the weekend off with all the injuries.
