First period thoughts: Who even knows. Pens lead 3-2

By Finesse (follow me on Twitter)

One of our questions from this morning was answered: the Pens are incapable of playing a normal playoff game.

There are 5 Penguins who look like they recognize this is a playoff game: Crosby, Malkin, Kunitz, Iginla, and Dupuis.  Thankfully, those 5 can do a lot of damage.

Simon Despres looks like a liability, and Mark Eaton looks like the guy who 3 months ago was thrilled that he was offered a tryout contract in the AHL.

Have to live with Letang being an idiot savant.

Was Brandon Sutter demoted to the 4th line?  Saw him take a shift with Glass and Adams immediately after Jokinen skated with Morrow and Cooke.

And have to give Flower credit for a few huge saves, although AGAIN, he doesn't know what to do when the puck is along the goal line or behind the net.

Too many emotions right now, and still 40 minuts to play.  Probably shouldn't be doing these posts.

Go Pens.
