Pens win home opener

The Penguins beat the Ducks 5 - 4 last night. It was an exciting game. The goals were coming in bunches. They definitely looked better than they did against the Canes, but not quite in mid-season form yet.

A few observations:
  • Hate to talk trash on the refs, but the officiating was not good last night.
  • Georges Laraque has really shown up so far. Working hard, flashing some skill. We approve.
  • Darryl Sydor has been less than impressive so far.
  • Mark Eaton was unstoppable.
  • MAF: 4 goals on 23 shots? Isn't someone trying to earn a big contract this season?
  • That said, he was hung out to dry by Gonchar on the Ducks shorthanded goal.
  • Colby Armstrong's goal was awesome.
3 Stars
  1. Petr Sykora
  2. Colby Armstrong
  3. Chris Kunitz
