Sidney Crosby’s Slew-Footing of Ryan Callahan Should Lead To Serious Crackdown Source: Bleacher Report
Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins is the latest NHL superstar to be branded with the loathsome label that comes from slew-footing an opposing player after his actions against the New York Rangers’ Ryan Callahan late in the first period of Monday’s game. Both players were hustling towards center ice when Crosby caught up to Callahan and intentionally slew-footed the right-winger. Strangely, it was Callahan who was penalized for interference rather than Crosby who committed the dangerous and uncalled-for misdeed despised by hockey purists. While interviewed during the first intermission, Callahan’s teammate Brandon Dubinsky accused Crosby of the controversial action, “That’s a dirty play. He’s a guy who tries to get away with a lot of that stuff. He complains a lot.” Rule number 52 of the Official NHL Rulebook defines the current actions that can be taken against players who is found to have slew-footed another player: 52.1 Slew-footing – Slew-footing is the act of a player or goalkeeper using his leg or foot to knock or kick an opponent’s feet from under him, or pushes an opponent’s upper body backward with an arm or elbow, and at the same time with a forward motion of his leg, knocks or kicks the opponent’s feet from under him, causing him to fall violently to the ice … Read the rest here

Pens Newbie Corner – What If That Game Was* More Exciting?!

Saturday, November 27th, 2010

(*Grammar Nazis: “had been.”) …I would probably crap myself. Or puke. Or have a heart attack, involuntarily rip my hair out, or the like. But no, the Penguins visiting the Sabres in HSBC Arena this Wednesday was perfect for me as a game to attend, and a win to boot! :D

This is just an opinion post. It’s not any kind of in-depth summary or review, or anything like that. So if you’re looking for one of these, you are welcome to go elsewhere. You can find one in plenty of places at this point, probably starting here. …For those who are staying, there’s a slideshow at the end, wooOOOooo!!!

…My first attendance at an NHL game ever… I like that. :) It was definitely a new experience for me, a great starting point when it comes to attending NHL games! There were sooooo many new things to absorb, and I tried my best to soak in as much as I could. The fact that I had such a striking visual did so much good in helping me learn more, especially about the players themselves!

Things that I, personally discovered by attending this game… ;)

- Don’t ever feel so embarrassed when you do things dedicated to one goalie playing that evening and it turns out another’s in net. Loosen up, tightass. Get over yourself. Nobody really cares, and shit happens. That actually goes for all players.

- Comrie (who still sucked, I’m no good luck charm) is not #14, he’s #19. #14 is Kunitz. Close considering my handwriting, but when was I writing? …No cigar. Slacker. *cough*

- Dupuis is #9-not-8. While texting, remember to use the “my finger slipped” excuse FIRST, then immediately admit your mistake and joke about it, not vice versa. *innocent whistle*

- Intermission: stomach or bladder. Pick one. In some cases, you’ll probably miss the beginning of the next period anyway. It’s all about priorities.

- Geno didn’t score for you. This is unacceptable. He should be traded. Or you should forgive him. Just make up your damn mind, you snob.

- Third star of the game Sid rocks your socks more than you like to admit. First star Fleury’s back, bitch. You still love Johnson’s Led Zeppelin masks best, though, and that’s perfectly okay.

…Now to the pics!! Some are from my cell, a few twitpic’ed already. Most were taken with a (5+ year old) digital camera – whose clock reset to midnight February 2nd 2006 mid-game, UGH. But no worries! I chronologized (BIG WORD) allll the pics just for you! …Sorry for some blurry shots. Also, my sense of placement and timing is magnificent. …Trust me, I got rid of the really bad ones, haha! I am no expert photographer, that’s for sure… Plus my photo editing skillz suck, so didn’t bother with that. …You’ll forgive me, right? Heheh :P

Here you go, there are about 50 pics… ENJOYYYYY! :D

Pens Newbie Corner – And So They Finally Meet…

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

For the first time today, I get to see my hometown team, the Buffalo Sabres… as they play against my new favorite team, the Pittsburgh Penguins, at HSBC Arena. What a strange, yet interesting feeling! But wait, it’s not just feeling..!

What makes it even better and more exciting?? …This will be the first ever real, live NHL game I will be attending in my life!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!!! :D I bought myself the ticket last night!! Section 307, Row 9, Seat 16, get ready to meet my ass!! …Yes, it was pretty spontaneous! Yes, it was an impulse buy! No, I do not regret it and I do not anticipate doing so! This is frikkin’ EXCITING!!!

…As you can probably guess, I’m a Pens newbie, so I’m not too familiar with all specifics on the players, but from what I’ve gathered, here are some my hopes, fairly simple requests, observations, in no particular order:

1) Geno’s big Russian butt had better score at least one goal for me! Cause apparently he really sucks now. Otherwise, trade him!

2) Could it be possible that I might become Comrie’s good luck charm?? If he skates that is, which he might. …In any case, I sure as hell hope not. I’d probably only be there for him tomorrow and maaayyyybe when the Pens make a return trip to HSBC Arena on December 11th. :P

3) Brent Johnson is in net tonight, first time in seven games! Wooo! …But please, Pens players, don’t leave your goalie on his own **quite so much. Makes me nervous. (I’m talkin’ especially about the power play and defense. Current defense, not Leopold.) Feel free to hang around the Sabres’ kid, though! (goalie info)

4) Since he’s in Buffalo for the moment, Letang should get a haircut here, maybe. (Noooo, I didn’t say shear it all off! Geez!)

Feel free to add any other, or more specific ideas for the Pens’ success tonight, heheh! I’ll be sure to cheer my full intent with them in mind! ;)

…I borrowed back my old digital camera which I gave to my sister. Hopefully, I can snap you guys some good pics if I can relearn how to use it, haha …In any case, whether I’ll have lots of good photographic evidence to post or not, you guys can be sure I will have furthered my Pens education! I’ll be a changed fan for sure, by the next time you see me on PensHead…… :)



I would like to add: I will have my cell phone with me. Despite battery and camera limitations, you guys can probably expect at least a few “live-twitpic’ed” moments, as well as perhaps some commentary during the game on my Twitter page! Join in a bit on this unprecedented journey of mine as it happens!

Gooooalllll Source: The Pensblog
The XBOX team had clawed their way back against a formidable opponent in the Montreal Canadiens. With the opposing team using player names such as Brian Gionta, Mike Cammaleri, and PK Subban, the tension was palpable at the drop of the opening faceoff. Down 2-0 at the end of the first, the scrappy Pensblog team dug in. Sporting Christmas colors and using player names such as Frosty the Snowman, Cindy Loo-Snipe, Ralphie Parker, and Ebenezer Scrooge, Team Pensblog came out in the second period ready to serve revenge as cold as the ice surface. They scrapped their way back, tying it up at 2, before Gionta scored a spin-o-rama backhand goal to make it 3-2 heading into the third. Halfway through the third, Cindy Loo-Snipe lived up to his namesake, jamming home a goal in front to tie. With 59 seconds remaining, Gionta did another spin-o-rama backhand to make it 4-3. Frosty the Snowman, a steady presence on the blue line, calmly said, “We're gonna score.” With 17 seconds left, it happened … Visit link

Pens Beat Canes In Shootout

Saturday, November 20th, 2010

Last nights game was pretty exciting as Pens beat the Canes in the shootout. Fleury was a huge part of this win. Since recently Fleury has been put under microscope for his less than stellar beginning of the season, I’d like to go into some details of the shootout. Bylsma had Letang start the shootout. Letang made a few fancy moves while slowly coming up to the net and got a pretty sweet backhander that beat Justin Peters. First shooter against Fleury was a rookie and the youngest player in NHL currently Jeff Skinner. Why did Canes HC put Skinner to be first shooter? Few reason as i imagine, here are a few i could think of beside the obvious fact that Skinner is good in shootouts. Till this point he was 1 for 1 in SO in his short NHL career. First of all Jeff Skinner is a rookie leader in points and assists, so the kid definitely has some talent. Secondly, since he is a rookie he is new to this league and as you might know goalies study possible shootout opponents. So more than likely Fleury had no clue what this kid was going to do. However, all that didn’t prevent Flower from making the save and maintaining advantage in the shootout. Crosby was second for Pens in the shootout. We all know Crosby is solid so no need to go into details besides stating that he put the puck between Peters’ 5 hole. Second shooter for Canes was Jussi Jokinen. If you didn’t know he is considered one of the best shootout specialists in the league. Jokinen has over 50% career in shootouts, compare that to Crosby’s 40%. Jokinen attempted some fancy moves on Fleury however got denied by Fleury’s pad. And that was game! 5-4 Pens in shootout. Thank you for being flawless in the shootout Flower! Here is the video:

Writing this for all those people who are still busy with their investigations on whether or not Fleury is officially back. Lets Go Pens!!!
