TRP: This Week In #FartNoise by @LCJS

This is Three Rivers Philosophizer - A weekly review of stuff that is going on in my brain... at least the stuff that has to do with hockey. If you don't like it, I don't blame you.

This Week In #FartNoise:

Predators @ Penguins 

 

Post by Pens Initiative.

Geno on if he’s bummed to miss playing James Neal: "He texted me asking if I play or not. I said, maybe. He said, take a couple more days."

It was Superbowl Sunday, but the big game was the Pens vs. the Preds.

.@BlueJacketsNHL Horrible bet.

After the Predators jumped to an early 2-0 lead, the bad news just kept coming.

The 2nd period was uneventful until the Preds scored again with only 40 seconds left to push their lead to 3-0.

By the time it was halfway through the 3rd period, when the Preds made it 4-0, the game was basically over.  This is a Pens team that is having major trouble scoring goals.  They are getting chances, but no puck luck.

The citizens have seen enough. Can't blame them. pic.twitter.com/SKIgtfkoyJ

Penguins @ Oilers

Hey, when does this Corsi thing go into the net?
— Meesh (@HockeyMeesh) February 5, 2015

Advanced stats can't save us from the Pens not scoring.  After the 1st period it was still 0-0.

Malkin put the Pens on the board early in the 2nd, assisted by Letang:

Kris Letang now has 8 assists on the #Pens last 8 goals. #BEASTMODE
— Pittsburgh Penguins (@penguins) February 5, 2015

Letang also assisted on the next Pens goal, a deflection off of Perron with .4 seconds left in the 2nd to make the score 2-0 Pens.

You talk about a BIG GOAL...That would be a killer for Oilers...with 0.04 seconds left...Perron from Letang ..Perron off the leg
— Bob Pompeani (@KDPomp) February 5, 2015

We need a review of first goal. Oilers have nothing better to do at this point than try to protect a Gretzky record.

And so that streak bites the dust:

So much for Letang chasing history. His assist was just changed to Hornqvist's. Streak ends at 7 -SK
— Pens Inside Scoop (@PensInsideScoop) February 5, 2015

In the end it was all Pens.

2-0! #LetsGoPens pic.twitter.com/kREjzkMxbW

Penguins @ Flames

During the 2nd period, with the score 2-0, Pascal Dupuis tweeted this about Sutter's goal:

Hey @PensPRLady make sure they keep the door shut for the post game interview #16
— Pascal Dupuis (@Duper0009) February 7, 2015

For those who don't understand the meaning behind this, it's because last season RootSports broadcast a naked Sutter on live TV.  Forgive me for not sharing the picture as it's obviously NSFW.

The game, however, was an easy win for the Pens.

4-0!!!! #LetsGoPens pic.twitter.com/c2aFAFZKbN

Fleury becomes the first goaltender in Penguins' history to post back-to-back shutouts on the road.
— Pens Radio Network (@PensRadioNet) February 7, 2015

Penguins win, 4-0. Fleury gets team-record eighth shutout of season.
