Penguins: 12-5-0

The Penguins get obliterated to finish their Cali trip, getting shut out by the sharks, 5-0

The Game's Three Stars
1) Evgeni Nabokov
2) Dan Boyle
3) Joe Pavelski

Thoughts on the Game
-Ugh
-When the Penguins lose, it's like they don't even try
-The Injury bug has officially caught up with the Pens
-Why did Dupuis have over 15 minutes of ice time?
-Why did Chris Connor only have 5:29? The only person with less was Kris Letang, who left with an injury
-I wanna give some major credit to Mike Rupp, Eric Godard, and Jay McKee. They all went to bat and baited the Sharks into a fight, trying to spark the team
-Apparently the Penguins didn't want to win this one.
-At least the Penguins managed some shots this game. All the announcers could talk about was how the penguins won with just 11 shots last time they were in San Jose
-Is Fleury tired?
-I can't understand why Dupuis gets chance after chance after chance and does nothing, but Chris Bourque and Janne Pesonen are considered failed experiments after just a little time
-Finally, the schedule doesn't get any easier. @ Boston, Vs. NJ, @ Boston. Ugh.

Enemy of the (Penguins'Technically Hockey) State: Pascal Dupuis is just not cut out to play at this level. Trade him for a pick and some cash. He's at his peak, and not worth a 1.4/year (for the next three years. Great work, Shero.)
