Hedberg an "ELITE" goalie? Come on :P give me a break. Hasn't he played like
FIVE NHL games or so? And how can you blame Marty for pucks bouncing off
defenseman's skates?

As for the Pens defensive system, they looked like they were trying to TRAP
(or were my eyes deceiving me?). I also noticed quite a bit of *clutching
and grabbing*, or more than we were doing.  I still don't think their d is
that hot though. We had some glorious scoring chances that we whiffed on or
shot wide of the net.
