Game Thread: Preseason Game 1 - Pittsburgh Penguins

The Red Wings kick off their preseason schedule by invading Pittsburgh's new CONSOL Energy Center for the first ever hockey game to be played there. 

The Red Wings Roster for tonight is as follows:

Franzen-Filppula-Bertuzzi
Ilari Filppula-Modano-Cleary (Hudler out with a bruised foot)
Ritola-Helm-Eaves
Miller-Abdelkader-Downey

Stuart-Kindl
Ericsson-Salei
Meesh-Lashoff

Osgood (will play two periods)
McCollum

Penguins lineup here

Doesn't look good for television broadcast, but 97.1 The Ticket is carrying the feed, as is local Pittsburgh radio 105.9.  It will be a little weird liveblogging a radio stream, but I'll be on for gametime.

They are going through starting lineups – Crosby/Malkin/Dupuis starting for the Pens

In the grand scheme of things, losing this game is not that big a deal. The only important thing was to get out of here (and the entire pre-season) healthy, and Orpik may have just royally crapped all over that

Love the "show me video before you call it cheap" argument

Ken Kal says it’s cheap and the refs gave him 5+10 penalties. I’d say there’s more than enough evidence of cheapness there.

When (or rather IF) I see video of this hit, it’s going to have to convince me it WASN’T cheap. Orpik doesn’t get benefit of the doubt.

by J.J. from Kansas on Sep 22, 2010 7:02 PM CDT reply actions  

Exactly

We’re talking about NHL referees here – if they gave out multiple major penalties for the hit, it was dirty

Tampa Bay’s on a power play with it 0-0 in the first against Chicago.

Crosby's played 11 minutes already..

Looks like he’s gonna play around 20-25 minutes, like a normal game….
I dun geddit, but its their choice…

he should be ok

Our defensemen don’t head-hunt in preseason.

by J.J. from Kansas on Sep 22, 2010 7:37 PM CDT up reply actions  

I kind of expected this

When I heard that our best D-man was going to be Stuart.

by nursenitz on Sep 22, 2010 7:36 PM CDT reply actions  

HAHAHAHA!

The Hawks’ goalie just gave up a thuper-thoft goal.

Looked a bit like that Avalanche goal against the Sharks in the first round last year. No idea who’s in Chicago’s goal, but that was funny.

As an aside

Sorry, I am still listening to the Wings game, that just caught my eye.

No one will think less of you for watching another game; as long as you’re cheering against the Hawks (which I have no doubts you are)

Wood says Ritola has been one of the best forwards

Makes that depth decision tougher. They have been calling his name a lot tonight.

It’s weird to think he’s younger than me… I’m still getting used to being older than the players.s

The Lightning are going to be more impressive this year, (or should I say, the Yzerman’s). He’s somethin’ else.

The core is in place there, and knowing Stevie’s experience with the Wings and Team Canada, he’ll build a good team using patience. Plus, having him as GM will draw free agents there to play for him.

Ericsson

I’ve heard his name a few times, and not in a negative way – sounds like he’s getting shots, and I haven’t heard his name on any of the Pens goals

How ironic would it be

if Ritola and Ericsson were the 2 best Wings out there tonight?

Did you mean “ironic” or “sad”? With Cleary, Bertuzzi, Salei, and Stuart in there, at least.

by J.J. from Kansas on Sep 22, 2010 7:49 PM CDT up reply actions  

McCollum was already slated to play the 3rd

I hope he’s better than he played in the Red & White scrimmage.

by J.J. from Kansas on Sep 22, 2010 7:47 PM CDT up reply actions  

It will be McCollum

Babs said that Ozzie was only playing 2 periods – he would be coming out even if he had a shutout

I'm disappointed

He actually looked pretty good in training camp. Then again, it helps when you have solid D-men to help you out…

by nursenitz on Sep 22, 2010 7:48 PM CDT up reply actions  

still thinking

about Mule..i fucking hope he is ok

by chicagowingsfreak! on Sep 22, 2010 8:00 PM CDT reply actions  

Haha

Just confirmed it is Turco in goal for Chicago who gave up the toss from the corner that slipped through his legs.

by J.J. from Kansas on Sep 22, 2010 8:01 PM CDT reply actions  

And he sucks even more against Red Wings.

I wanna see murder over the weekend…
Well, at least it’s televised…

Didn’t take Patrick Sharp long in the 2nd period to tie it.

by J.J. from Kansas on Sep 22, 2010 8:02 PM CDT up reply actions  

Sharp

He was one of those guys I wanted the Hawks to lose

He caused Capt. Nick a great deal of pain

Few years back with that shot to ye ol nethers.. that would be hard to get over. Doubt Lidstrom holds many grudges though.

I think I heard Sharp called to apologize and it’s cool. Not like it was on purpose.

by Gander on Sep 22, 2010 8:08 PM CDT up reply actions  

He reached out

and personally apologized to Lidstrom. Thought that was a stand-up act.

Paul Wood said he's impressed with Lashoff

Yeah, with the minus-four rating.

Crosby out with a hip flexor issue.

Apparently Boston is also up 3-0 after 1st, playing Montreal.

It doesn’t really matter, win or lose, but I want to hear “score!” couple more times… for US.

It’s not even on any p2p sites to watch?

it's not televised

because Pittsburgh didn’t even bother to do a self-stream on their website

by Gander on Sep 22, 2010 8:11 PM CDT up reply actions  

Nope

Because NO television providers have it and the P2P sites rely on those to have the cameras in the rink.

Hannu Toivonen in goal for Chicago now

Halfway through the 2nd. Probably just pre-planned. Aside from the really weak goal, Turco has kept the Hawks in this game. TB is outplaying them.

by J.J. from Kansas on Sep 22, 2010 8:22 PM CDT reply actions  

Wow that’s a very Finnish name. Other than that, I know nothing about him.

Hmm.

Good to know? At least we’re seeing prospects. Thanks for the info.

Think I might go to the Bolts/Hawks game.. It’s tied 1-1 in the 2nd. Be nice to see the Hawks lose for once.

Split squad?

They still have anywhere between 50-60 guys on their roster, enough to field two teams. I wonder if that’s it.

Buncha fights going on in the Bolts/Hawks game..

Just me guessing

but I think both teams are tying to get out of here without any more injuries. Penguins have outplayed us this period. I think we’ve taken 3 minors in the third so far.

by J.J. from Kansas on Sep 22, 2010 8:35 PM CDT up reply actions  

Well, that one sucked.

Might do a high-level recap. Battle for forward spots is getting interesting.

TB up 2-1 now

PP goal. Real battling in front by TB’s Ashton.
