Pens lose, Pitt wins...

Doesn't quite sound right does it? It's not very often PNA gets to sing the praises of the Panthers and bash the Pens on the same day, but I'll give it a shot...

The Pens squandered yet another two goal lead in a 3-2 loss to the hated Islanders last night...

Sid has been one of the few bright spots this season...

They looked OK, seeing as they had some chances (including Sid ringing one of the crossbar) but just couldn't capitalize...and what really pisses me off is old man Al Arbour got a win in his swan song, coaching his 1500th game...Fluery was alright, making a ton of saves, but the goals he did allow were partly his fault, partly just shitty luck (pucks bouncing off boards, etc...). I am sticking with my comment about needing a new, veteran goalie to be competitive..Marty Turco anyone?

As for our Panthers, they actually won, beating Syracuse 20-17 at Heinz Field yesterday..Shady McCoy was a beast again and the special teams contributed two big returns that lead to points...I didn't like the fact that we couldn't punch it in in the first when we had the ball on the 1, but, considering all we've seen this year, I'll take a win any way it comes...

Thank God Shady is a freshman...

Until tomorrow, when our Steelers will be eating Raven for dinner...
