Pens vs Coyotes 10/7/09 Loss

Tonight's game was absolutely DECUSSATING! My key problems are…
  • Johnson's Play 
  • Passing
  • Keeping the puck in the offensive zone
  • Puck support
  • Penalties 
After watching Johnson in the pre season, I believed he was not a NHL Goalie. Tonight giving up a very weak goal to a player sitting on the ice, that he could reach and could have covered.
Passing and puck control missing passes was a huge problem. Even Crosby and Malkin out of the groove whiffing on shots.
The Defense looked as if it was impossible to keep the puck in the offensive zone toward the end of the game. Trying to keep it in the zone with one hand on the stick and missing, letting easy keep ins, out.
The puck support wasn't there! The first guy in would make the hit but the second guy in many times no where to be found to pick up the puck. 
The final killer of the pens TO MANY PENALTIES & the pens fall to the coyotes 3-0 being out played.  
As always LET'S Go PENS
