Anyone watching this?

Sidney Crosby's a madman, Ryan Miller's wearing a ski cap over his goalie mask, this game is nuts!

Very awesome! Really neat that it's snowing as well.

Pretty decent play so far, too.

Outdoor hockey in the snow … reminds me of playing on ponds when I was a kid!

Weird game to watch.
So many stoppages.

Plus, the Pens look awesome in the retro unis (Buffalo, eh, not so much).

Letang's shootout goal was pretty, Sid's wasn't...I suppose it shouldn't surprise me that he finished it, though.

Despite having a rivalry against Buffalo being a Rangers fan, I would have liked them to beat the Pens. Oh well...

Sidney shooting through Ryan Millers pads was beautiful!

I thought it fun to watch, but I would hate to have been one of the shooters in the shootout with all that snow. I can hardly stick handle as it is

ok... even pens fans, i hope you could see this too... didnt the game seem fixed? i mean... its broadcast everywhere, so i can see how they would want to make the game seem very nice... but my points are:

1.) anyone else notice how few penalties there were? i mean... come on, there were maybe 5 powerplays all day (yes... i no, other than the one in OT)

2.) there were no fights! i mean, as soon as there was a little scuffle, ALL the refs on the ice were right there to stop it... i mean, come on, let them play a little!

3.) and yes, this may seem like just a sabres fan making excuses for a loss, but doesn't the outcome seem too convenient? i mean, Crosby was the media's star all day, and anyone who never watched hockey would probably only know him because they talked about him so much. other than miller, he was the only one that they even barely mentioned... so for them to go to a shootout and for him to score the winning goal with his anti-shot, seems to fit conveniently into the plot.


oh... and that was a sock on millers head, not a hat lol
