Penguins get 3 goals in 48 seconds


Recommended Posts

PITTSBURGH - Scott Clemmensen buttoned his shirt and pulled his tie tight. He glanced in a mirror, folded his collar, and walked into an enclave of reporters who were waiting to ask how the Toronto Maple Leafs had managed to dissolve once again this season.

"They had the momentum, and they really capitalized on it," the goaltender said. "They put us back on our heels. And before we could take a breath, they popped three quick ones in on us."

Those three quick ones came in the time it took Clemmensen to fold his collar and give two answers. The Pittsburgh Penguins scored three goals in one 48-second stretch in the third period en route to a 6-2 blowout win Thursday night at Mellon Arena.

Penguins phenom Evgeni Malkin scored three times and was assisted twice by linemate Sidney Crosby. Pittsburgh won for the fifth straight game, while Toronto lost for the fourth time in five outings, sitting at the midpoint of its season with no stronger identity than the one it began with.

Its defence was reduced to spectator status when it mattered Thursday night. Its offence was wholly reliant on one man - captain Mats Sundin - and its goaltending was left to try to clean up the mess.

I guess thats what you get when you play a minor hockey goalie against major goal scorers like Malkin and Crosby. Oh and the defense we pay millions for isn't helping either...

I can't believe MLSE makes you pay to watch them lose on LEAFSTV. hahaha.

Actually it comes free with Rogers Digital VIP, I don't know, or care for that matter, about Express Vu or anything else. On topic however, it was a sad outing last night.

I told a friend I'd see the Leafs win a cup. I'm starting to believe his retort was more accurate ... "Allan, you have a much higher chance of seeing a straight person on Church Street, then seeing the Leafs win a cup. Don't hold your breath."

when will MLSE give us what we want!

Haha...I live in Toronto.....and I have always hated the Leafs and especially their fans. Every year I have heard "this is our year", "this is our year" even when they get busted every season. I love it cause I love hearing all the fans moan about how they weren't treated fairly and just seeing their "shocked" faces. They don't seem to get it that the Leafs will never win another Stanley cup....not with the current MLSE mindset. Toronto Leafs fans are literally some of the dumbest ppl when it comes to this because they are so blinded by their love for the team that they cannot see clearly.

The Leafs will never be a Stanley cup team because they don't have to be. They are worth the most out of all the NHL teams (somewhere over $400m) even more than the Rangers, they sellout all the time and they make millions of dollars without even putting up a great team. They don't have to worry about losing money if the team doesn't produce cause they are in the big market. Why spend time and money on a team when the teams' pockets are always filled? This is not the same as those teams e.g. Ottawa or Buffalo where they can only make money if the team is producing or else they go red.

I guess also I'm a huge Sens fan so obviously I can smile wih glee......lol....but the Leafs need a MAJOR shakeup like the Raptors if they are to go anywhere.

    • There is a lot of truth to that, but also, a lot of those issues were due to 3rd parties being slow to support Vista. That doesn't explain all users, but a lot of them. Win7 didn't have better support for XP-era hardware and software, it simply didn't have to deal with it as much because Vista has already blazed the way and forced that stuff to be updated or replaced.
    • MIght as well go back to good old SMS. Or switch to other services.
    • Nintendo 64 games were $60-$70 Playstation 1 were $50-$60 28 years ago. Heck I remember paying $70 for Final Fantasy IV (2) in 1991 for SNES. Salarys have gone up, both for the consumer's salary and the developer's salary. So I think it's pretty reasonable for $80games today. Not that I pay for new games, I don't have the time to play games as much as before. So I tend to buy them 2 years after release.
    • I hear you on that, and if that is happening, then its bad. Could you give an example please? People make these comments all the time but rarely provide an example.
    • Firefox gets new way to pin and unpin tabs by Taras Buria Mozilla Firefox recently received a long-anticipated feature: vertical tabs. It arrived in March 2025 as part of the Firefox 136 update. Now, Mozilla is introducing another welcome improvement to tab management in its browser, making it easier for users to pin and unpin tabs in Firefox. With the latest Firefox Nightly update, Mozilla implemented a new way to pin or unpin tabs: you can simply drag the current page to another pinned tab to pin or drag it out to unpin it. As simple as that. The new logic works with both vertical and horizontal tab views, and it eliminates the need to use context menus. The only prerequisite is that you need to have at least one pinned tab for the dragging to work. Otherwise, you will simply move the tab across the strip. It is nice to see Firefox implementing this small convenience for customers. However, some argue that there is still room for improvement. Dragging tabs is cool, but a dedicated shortcut could be an even better and quicker way to pin or unpin your tabs. That said, other mainstream browsers lack this feature as well. The improved tab pinning is now available in Firefox Nightly, the least stable update channel. Mozilla uses it to test early changes and big platform changes, which could be buggy, unstable, or feature-breaking. Therefore, it is probably not a very good idea to use Nightly builds as your main browser. Still, you can run Firefox Nightly side-by-side with other channels for testing purposes. If you are curious, get it from the official website using this link.
