Back to the Drawing Board

After recovering from a terrible game 1, the Pens once again fell down the ladder, losing game three 4-2. They started the game off right scoring less than a minute into the game, but after that there was little to cheer about. They fell apart ins pectacular fashion, both the offense and defense proving to be utterly ineffective. Again Fleury was the only reason it wasnt a route. Funny that he was the one most were worried about in high pressure situations, yet he has been the most reliable of them all.

Some thoughts:

-I hate to say this, but the best thing Melichar and Scuderi could do for this team is to get hurt. Therrien is obviously too blind to see that these two hurt the team everytime they're on the ice so he wont bench them. I am starting to think Melichar is actually trying to help the Sens. For next game they may as well just come out wearing the red, black and white of their rivals because they've done far more good for them than us.

-If you've evern been to a park, or done this yourself as a kid, remember when your older brother/sister was playing with their friends, and you being a few years younger desperately tried to keep up with them but couldnt? Well, that is exactly what I see when ouellet is on the ice. He is always racing to catch up to everyone else.

-Recchi: retirement is an option.

-If Petro and Ruutu are to be visible, ice time would help. They havent gotten enough to even make themselves known unless they take a penalty. Of course part of that is due to the huge amount of stupid penalties the Pens are taking.

-Fleury: thank god you're there otherwise it'd be 3-0 and most probably wouldnt bother watching a 4th embaressing loss in a row.

-Therrien: time to get your head out of your ass. Stop playing favorites with Ouellet, melichar and Scuderi and replace them with people who may do things. Ekman, Nazzy and even Kwiatkoswki deserve a shot because honestly they cant do any worse. We're headed for an early exit and you cant get past how much you like guys. Jack Adams my ass.

-For the love of god hit someone! The Sens are cowards and once you hit them they turn tail and run. Neil is great when your back is turned or the ref blew a whistle, but challenge him to a fight he refuses. Coward. you can't spell "Spezza" without "spaz"(hint hint: use Ruutu). And I dont even want to talk about how much I utterly loathe Alfredsson.

Three Stars:
Hell, why not give it to every player on the Sens since they show up and play every game?
